mrycrltn 2 Posted February 7, 2006 I guess I have figured out why I am over weight. Of course because of eating to much, but also because all my husband wants to do is go out to eat. Every weekend it's what's for Breakfast, what's for lunch and where are we going to eat dinner. There has to be something else to do besides eat all the time.

Wheetsin 714 Posted February 7, 2006 Those bananas like their doggy style... It's more like - what *isn't* there to do. DH and I too eat 99.9999% of our meals out, but it doesn't take us 6 hours to eat a meal. We may start our weekend by grabbing breakfast or brunch somewhere, then do some shopping or go to a movie, go visit friends, if it's nice out we'll get our lunch to go and have a picnic, stop by the store and buy some kites to fly while there... we both enjoy scuba diving and try to fit in as many summer dives as our schedules will allow. Go to the club, go for walks, go visit family, go to a museum... then we'll go have dinner, alone or meet up with some friends. After dinner we may go to a movie, have people over to talk/watch tv/play game/have drinks/hot tub/whatever... heck if the weather is nice anything that gets you out of the house - play some mini-golf, to the outdoor theater... whatever. A meal out takes what.. an hour? That's 3 hours of your day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunta 5 Posted February 7, 2006 I like to hang out with friends! This takes up ALOT of my time! I also love movies, shopping, visiting with family, emailing, antiquing, working on house projects, shopping. Most recently I have taken up collecting cothing in small sizes to wear after I lose weight! I bought a teeny tiny itty bitty pink panty set that I hope to be into in a year and a half!!! I'm going to hang up the clothes around the house to motivate myself! I also run a movie club once a week and I entertain a LOT. All of these things keep me very busy!

Mikey 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Mikey's Top Ten Things To Do On The Weekends That Don't Necessarily Involve Eating - the 'Low Budget' Version: 10. Have sex. Twice. 9. Change your outgoing voicemail message to say "Thanks for calling, but I am currently examining the correlations between involuntary astral travel and country music. I'll return your call as soon as I am able." 8. Go bowling. 7. Download pictures of anorexic actresses, paste them to big round corkboards, and perfect your darts game. 6. Write your memoirs. 5. Circulate a petition asking for signatures to get your governor to establish an official holiday called I Want A Day Off Day. 4. Start an office Fantasy Reality Show League - make sure you get Ty Pennington from that home makeover show on your team. 3. Go to a fancy art gallery. Stop at every painting, take a deep breath, and say "Impressive use of negative space. Note how the diffusive lighting and specific brushstroke patterns reflect the artist's proletarian views on fame, tyranny, and public transportation?" 2. Take up modern dance. 1. Write a silly Top Ten list for some random forum. Mikey's Top Ten Things To Do On The Weekends That Don't Necessarily Involve Eating - the 'Money Is No Object' Version: 10. Have sex. Three times. This is once more than the 'low budget' version because you can afford a little help - Viagra, the Spice Channel, Bruno Magli Italian leather heels for extra 'lift', etc. 9. Throw a big party and invite the Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Shirley Maclaine, and Cleo from the Psychic Friends Network, and start up a rousing game of Twister. 8. Buy a bowling alley, tear it down, and turn it into a combination day spa / karaoke bar - so you can listen to American Idol rejects while getting your pedi. 7. Contact the agents of anorexic actresses, and hire them to catch Water balloons flung from a giant slingshot. 6. Write a farfetched fantasy novel, then go back and change some names and publish it as your memoirs... then go let Oprah beat you up about it. 5. Pay Abramof to lobby Congress for an official Rent-a-Senator Day. Then rent 5 Senators and form a team to challenge the Harlem Globetrotters to a game. Of charades. 4. Hire Ty Pennington to build a gigantic haunted house for your in-laws - complete with chainsaw-weilding skeleton cheerleaders... and hidden cameras so you can watch the hijinks ensue. 3. Quickly create some sloppy fingerpaintings, and pay a fancy art gallery to exhibit them. Hire someone to walk around and talk about how your use of light reflects your opinion on the city bus system - and then argue with them, saying "On the contrary - I find the artist's understanding of fractal geometry and superglue represent a rather pedestrian statement of poverty and hip hop slang." 2. Attach electrodes to your major muscle groups. Have Twyla Tharp hit random buttons in time to the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. As your limbs flail about spasmodically, have her shout "Perfect! Now, do it again!" 1. Write a silly Top Ten list for some random forum, and pay for a hot actor/actress to deliver it to each of the Bandsters as a singing telegram. PS. NO anorexic actresses were harmed in the writing of these lists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
