Haha, I don't think this makes you Stewart (bless his cotton socks), but I'd prob be black coffee. I drink heaps of it, can't get enough of it...and too much of it makes me crazy, and too little of it makes me crazy...so yeah I'm coffee :)

I actually see where you are heading here... what is interesting is we do let how we "control" food or try to "control" food define who we are. We feel power, control, believe that what we eat will define our beauty and self-worth. Really, we are a mess, like left-overs nobdy wants. That is how we treat ourselves. Not important enough to fight against the battle and do what is right for our bodies. "we are what we eat," I think is more about our emotion when we eat.

Nope, sorry, I don't think we are what we eat. Because what does food have to do with our prosperity, self-image, self-love/loathing?

Anyway, for fun's sake, if I were what I eat, I would be, as LHerman said, a human smogasbord.

i think that perhaps not many of u see where i was goin with that post...like if someone is a vegetable, they are paralyzed...but alot of anorexics eat veggies...and alot of anas eat nothing...and being nothing is something someone can feel they are....and being all that and a bag of chips means ur cool...but bulimics usually eat ALL THAT AND a bag of chips......idk...i was trying to be funny...yet somehow no one got it...they decided that they'd call themselves diet pop...which has no double meaning...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
