By the way, notice the cottage cheese cellulite on her chin in that shot.

And now I present to you THIS:




Tell me... is there something about losing weight that makes people go all "scrambled cable channel" WACKO???? Did they also lose brain weight at the same time???

I don't know... I've lost weight, gained it back, lost weight, gained it back, lost weight, gained it back... and I did not make those around me feel like their lives were in jeopardy or have a need to call the local white coats.

OK.... spit it out!!! You have something to say????... then SAY IT!!!!

I did....short version is dieting can make you crazy.

Ok, the only fuel the brain gets is glucose. Diets, especially super low calorie diets, also starve the brain, messing with thinking. One number i read somewhere was that restriction to 1200-1500 Kcal/day was similar in effect to drinking a scotch. Anyway, for some on the edge of crazy, it may tip them over. There is also a very old study on the effects of voluntary dieting, and for some the experiment resulted in long lasting/permanent personality changes . Here's the wiki page for it Minnesota Starvation Experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The full report of results from the Minnesota Starvation Experiment was published in 1950 in a two-volume, 1,385 page text entitled The Biology of Human Starvation (University of Minnesota Press). The 50-chapter work contains an extensive analysis of the physiological and psychological data collected during the study, and a comprehensive literature review.
Among the conclusions from the study was the confirmation that prolonged semi-starvation produces significant increases in depression, hysteria and hypochondriasis as measured using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Indeed, most of the subjects experienced periods of severe emotional distress and depression.[1]:161 There were extreme reactions to the psychological effects during the experiment including self-mutilation (one subject amputated three fingers of his hand with an axe, though the subject was unsure if he had done so intentionally or accidentally).[5] Participants exhibited a preoccupation with food, both during the starvation period and the rehabilitation phase. Sexual interest was drastically reduced, and the volunteers showed signs of social withdrawal and isolation.[1]:123-124 The participants reported a decline in concentration, comprehension and judgment capabilities, although the standardized tests administered showed no actual signs of diminished capacity. There were marked declines in physiological processes indicative of decreases in each subject’s basal metabolic rate (the energy required by the body in a state of rest), reflected in reduced body temperature, respiration and heart rate. Some of the subjects exhibited edema in their extremities, presumably due to decreased levels of plasma proteins given that the body's ability to construct key proteins like albumin is based on available energy sources.

Back. Useless, but back. I have nothing to add. Maybe extending the earlier "Mars colony" thing.

5-year-old Kentucky boy fatally shoots 2-year-old sister - CNN.com

This family purchased a .22 rifle for their 5 year old as a birthday present. The kid just killed his 2 year old sister. :( :cry:
Insta-Mars-Colony candidates (the parents).

I think Bear's correct...a "yard day" today.
