I believe it more or less says "do not annoy, annoy, annoy, annoy, stress, harass, harass, harass, harass, irritate, harass, irritate, annoy, annoy, irritate, entice, or ruffle the animal"

Haha, in my defence they have us outnumbered, and, as you can see, they clearly have eyes everywhere. Resistance feels futile

Molest had you worry, then

Harry actually, aside from being a name, does indeed mean to harass or agitate someone/something in a persistent manner

I tend to hide most of my 'personal' posts. No real reason for it

Based on the level of downvotes I'm getting the distinct impression someone was horrendously disappointed this wasn't, in fact, some obscure form of bird-feet pornography

There is a possibility the cat managed to find a loving home in between and had not been in the shelter that long. It does say it's a different shelter.
Irregardless they were separated for at least 5 years roughly from the sounds of it, and that man is a terrible human being

That definitely sounds like the wrong kind of women. Hopefully you can have more luck in the future

Guest_ apparently may well be dating a female variant of L. Not gonna lie I might be jealous

Which is when it was intended to be used I'd guess

I feel like shikharizard is very much dating the wrong kind of women

Maybe they meant 10 years after they first adopted the cat (in 2007)

Dammit you beat me to it

I don't really know how a national emergency works, but this sounds an awful lot like extortion

Well in the movie there were several princes mentioned (at least 1 seen) who were pursuing jasmine. That's the only explanation I can think of

But cucumbers are just all around beneficial.

I have a feeling the person who posted this post may well be a bot, but hopefully if someone who is interested stumbles across it some of these things people have brought up will help

Sadly I don't think there's any easy way, but that doesn't mean it should have to be a horrendous nightmare, either. As you said, it's the psychology of the thing as much as anything. Little steps instead of drastic leaps-- you'll hopefully get there eventually, and hurt yourself far less along the way

I really like the points you made. The calorie counting thing I've heard so much negativity about. The same with bathroom scales and such. They make people obsessive and miserable-- which is counter-productive to their end goal. I can't remember but I think I've heard it suggested you say to hell with calorie counting. Get smaller plates-- it will look like you have more food. Reserve weighing yourself to once a week-- or better yet, once a month.

Haha I used to (and still do to an extent) rely on apples so much. Not obsessively, but similar to the water, if I felt myself getting munchy I'd go cut up an apple or two. The activity distracted me from being as hungry (that was another thing I forgot to mention in the post- when you get munchy, try and do some other activity to distract yourself), took more time than just grabbing an apple whole, and helped reduce my hunger. The rule of thumb was: I can absolutely eat as much as I wanted to eat-- provided it was an apple. Or a cucumber.

That's good to hear. Like I said, I've never had to lose a large amount of weight, so I feel a bit off offering advice at all because I truly don't know what it's like. It's a bit like someone who jumped off a diving board offering skydiving lessons. I'm not sure it's my place to say anything at all. I just know it's a horrific struggle a lot of people fight with so much. I've watched people close to me devote so much energy to detesting themselves because of what they weigh despite there being so much beauty in them. I just think maybe if any of this can ease someone's struggles, even just a little, it's worth a shot

Every body is different, so what works for some people may not work as well for eithers. Age, gender, genetics all play a role in how our bodies gain, store, maintain, and lose fat. There's obviously lots of other things I could add, and lots of things I've missed. These were just some of the small things that turned into big things for me personally.

-This one may seem obvious, but try and swap out your snacks for healthier alternatives. Instead of chips I'd often eat dry cereal (unless I REALLY craved chips) or carrots. Oat squares in particular (which I just happen to like as a cereal, but I imagine a lot of people would find bland). They offer a satisfying crunch factor. Obviously less sugary cereals are better. Apples have also been a big staple.
-Eat slower. Find some way to slow the process. Take bites less frequently, chew the food longer. Whatever. Just slow down.
-Try to avoid pop. It's just bad for you. Juice isn't great either. Water is your best friend.
-May just be me personally, but I cut bread pretty much entirely out of my diet when I was losing a bit of weight. I never have been a big bread eater to begin with, however. But grain breads are preferable to white either way. Which, again, is well-known, but still
