Re: the weight debate building. (this is about eating issues, not medical conditions)
As someone who was groomed by her mother to have a specific body type, and ridiculed publicly when I didn't have that, as someone who was told by her father that it looked like I had a tire in my waist band, as someone that was an exercise bulimic in her late teens and was grey-faced and wan from being unhealthy, as someone who watched her best

I do have a size goal (almost there!), but I've never had a weight goal because I'm tall and naturally muscular so I ALWAYS weigh more than I should. Even at my smallest and healthiest I weighed WAY more than people thought I did.
Also? I love you. A lot.

I made a point of not using words like BMI and that sort of thing, because that shit is meaningless up to a point. (Plus, the only way to DO it is i water, not that stupid pinch test.) And any pic I've ever seen of you, I see a beee-you-tee-ful girl. I love that you're tall and muscular. (Isn't that what comic book chicks are? GLamazons? *G*)
I weigh more than I look, too. But I wouldn't trade my muscles for slim shit any day, that's fo sho.
I love YOU a lot, too. You are good people, Vin. *hugs you tiiiiight*

...are the food issues there the same as they are here? I ask because there's such a car culture here, and everything is so far from each other, it's not like you can stroll down the road and hit the grocers, etc.

I think generally speaking we Western Worlders are getting larger because of lots of factors, but the food is the big one. My dad growing up on a farm ate nothing but fresh veggies and fruit, wheat from their fields, cows from the barn. I'm talking steak every night. But they were all whip thin from working outside all the time. Everything was homemade/grown, there weren't preservatives high fructose corn syrup, etc. in every damn thing.
Personally I think the HFCS is the main culprit.

I have discoverd an amazing diet! That works. For me. O.o And according to what "everyone" knows, it shouldn't. :-P Weird, uh? I eat LowCarbHighFat. Meaning, I eat fat food, but natural fats. And no carbohydrates. And I have never felt this good in my entire life! I lost 11 kilos from that! Less weight, I have now started exercising... Life is weird. :-D But now I am starting to love my body! Progress!

And bwah ha ha - you know we're going to eat decadent foods while we're there, but we'll make up for it with the thousands of miles we'll walk. Not to anywhere in particular, I just want to see how long you can go. Like a mule with better hair!
Processed foods is key = that fake stuff just isn't meant to be in our bodies. Our bodies certainly weren't designed for them!
I'm meeting you at the hotel on Thursday, yes? I'll be there around 2. Once I check in, if you're not there, I'll stow my stuff in our room and hang out in the lobby to wait for you. Just look for the dork in green glasses.

And like a mule with a mullet don't you mean? I don't make eye contact with other people and stick to dark corners these days.
Oh, yay I say! Thursday, 2pm hotel lobby! I'll be there with bells on, you'll have green glasses, there will be a mullet scurrying around a darkened corner - can't wait! (Computer just said it was Wednesday today and I had a little moment of terror until I checked the newspaper - doh!).
Met up with Di and two other ljers on Saturday and had a blast - you were mentioned in glowing terms as well. By Di of course, I just rolled my eyes a lot and drank more.
