This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well also being young and probably somewhat active.

But it's a great habit to develop so you don't put on a pound every year like the western world tends to do.

One thing that helped me tremendously since I'm a cheapskate is the realization that:

" wait, you're telling me I will stay healthy AND save money by eating leftovers every other day!? Sold!"

It's actually quite scary the amount of money one can save when they buy and eat food to stay healthy instead of using it to feel good ( nothing wrong with that, I just don't overindulge in this habit)

yep. I was a rakish youth despite pounding 12 beers and chips wrapped in Naan bread and slathered in curry sauce every Saturday. I didn't have to start watching my weight until my mid 20s.

I used to live in the US and a semi regular meal was a foot long chili dog, double jalapeño cheeseburger, tater tots, onion rings and 44 Oz cherry Dr Pepper from Sonic. I wasn't particularly active, either. Once I hit my mid 20s I had to give that up!
