And Mom - didn't Mom always tell us to clean our plate, or no dessert? Bad precedent setting there, but who knew back then?
The best line from back then..."There are children starving in *insert country* - eat, eat!" What, MY eating is going to help THEM???

I know what you mean. But, it's not just w/ Italian families. My mother gets a little insulted when I don't want seconds and thirds. I've trained her over the years, so she's not as pushy as she had been when I was a kid (and when I didn't know better and used to indulge in seconds and thirds).

Good for her! I still remember your invasion of her cabinets... You deserve revenge!
I bumped into an ex-girlfriend the other day and ended up hangin out over a cup of coffee. While talking, she basically said that I was shallow. I told my roomates what she said, and they agreed that I am shallow. I kinda always thought I was a little shallow, but not really. In fact, I cannot say that Im shallow at all.
When I began dating this girl she was thin. A size 1 or 2. Definitely not 3. But by the end, which was about 3 months, she was like a size 5! I kid you not. The first month was just like any normal relationship. She could walk through the door and turn me right on. But during the last two months she became too comfortable. She would come over to my house often, hang out, and eat basically what was around. I live with guy roomates so you can imagine the kind of food there was. When I saw that she was getting thicker I would encourage her to work out with me. She did a few times, but most of the times she would put it off till later, and later hardly ever happened. It frustrated me that she would be asleep many times by 11pm and wake up at 9am. Whereas I constantly go to sleep at 12, and wake up at 6 to be at the gym at 6:30. Yet there was never "time to go to the gym." That last month I was almost completely turned off. What I saw was someone who just didnt want to try to look her best anymore. We ended breaking up. BTW, I never called her fat nor made fun of her weight.
Anyways, at coffee she basically said that she got the hint during the relationship. Over and over again and that she didnt like it. She's still the same size btw.
I did partially break up with her because she got bigger (though it was more of a mutual break up). But mostly because I didnt see that she was trying for me, or herself anymore.
I work out not only for myself, but because I want to look good for whoever I might be with. And I like it when the girl does the same for me. I try to only date women that exercise daily, are fit and care about their body's. I would go as far as to say that I would rather be with a girl 2 sizes larger that works out and is fit, than a skinnier girl who doesnt work out.
Yea I only like women that are thin, but more because of the fitness aspects. Yes I probably would break up with someone for getting out of shape.
And I do realize that women get pregnant and its hard to lose weight. I expect that one day. But Im hoping the future wife I would care too much to let herself go long after popping a baby.
Is that being shallow?
There are a lot more important things that what a person looks like (or what size they wear). Eventually (hopefully) you will come to realize this. Some day you are going to have a pot belly and a receeding hairline and you will look back on this post and shake your head.
Yes, you're shallow. But hopefully you'll grow out of it.
Actually lady:
1. Most people don't show their face on the internet for security purposes. Most other people don't have a problem with this, except YOU for some reason...
2. I DID post a pic of my face, in all its' NORMAL glory. It's in the 200 page photo thread, and it's been there for a while.
LOL, yeah, I had to go back and look to see if your pic was there, obviously I don't remember ever seeing it. Funny, nobody made any comments about it, but they commented on countless others. You really left an impression. Actually, the photo looks a bit photoshopped to me. The neck looks awfully long , looks like maybe you photoshopped your head and put it on another body, or took your body and put it on another head
Actually lady:
*yawn* YOU have a bit of growing up to do. Insecure people rant and rave about inner beauty, this is not a new thing. If you were really mature your response would have been a quick one-liner, or something fat freddy might say. You would not have felt a need to defend your inner beauty (which was not called into question before that).
Actually, it's quite the opposite, people who are secure with themselves don't feel the need to go on and on ridiculing people. People who are secure with themselves base all their friendships and relationships mostly on inner beauty. Sure people are attracted to looks at first, but for any relationship to flourish, there has to be a beautiful person on this inside. You'll understand this once puberty catches up with you. Your age and obvious lack of any type of male role model in your life shows in all your responses. Maybe you should do a search on Miu and read some of her posts, she could teach you a lesson or two on becoming a better person.

I have posted a pic of myself in a bikini, you just missed it, I erased it a few months ago. I'm sure you want me to post a bikini pic, more masturabatory material for you - OH NO wait, I forgot, you like to masturbate in front of your mirror staring at yourself while trying to decide whether you are gay or not.

Your all over the place here, so is beauty really on the inside or what?
...and you're worried about fat, salt and grease?!?
I guess it depends partially on how it's made, but in these parts BBQ is death on a bun.
Not to jump in, but my DH barbecues all sorts of awesome stuff. We definitely do the juicy-steaks thing (mmmmmmmm) but he has also done an entire chicken on a barbecue; shrimp; fish and vegetables. So you can do "healthy" BBQ...although we LOVE our "traditional BBQ" days of a dry rub, then a fabulous sweet/spicy thick sauce oh mmmmmmmmmmmmmm okay I gotta go get a cookie, be right back.
And, MonaLisaVito--will you marry me? Okay, so I'm already married, plus I'm a girl, but what the heck, I'll do your dishes and never ask you for sex, it will be the perfect marriage. I tried to rep you but somebody got there first.
