Not so sure we should give you any advice after winning so well in the Euro Fantasy Footy! What I started doing as I'm too tight to pay for a gym membership, is I get up an hour earlier than I used to and walk for an hour. Stick on a CD of music/inspirational CD's and just walk.Quote:

Have to disagree on that score. Diseases are "natural", not "manmade".Quote:

I run up and down the stairs. I do it alot when the computers in the lab go nuts. Sometimes, it's 4 or 5 times aday. On occasion, I do it 20 times.Quote:

Sorry this is a personal subject for me...
There's nothing sadder than an athlete who's turned to fat. I can remember when I could run all day. Now I must valiantly struggle to make it to the kitchen 40 or 50 times a day.
Please no need to be sorry. I see your point. However, anorexia starts with the need to look good (I had a friend who was anoerexic (it all started with her need to not to be fat). It then esculated where she couldn't control it.Quote:

Meatwad, say what you really mean. ;)Quote:

Well I'll be d*mned, they are diseases according to the current definition of disease.
Quote:
dis·ease ( P ) Pronunciation Key (d-zz)
n.
1. A pathological condition of a part, organ, or system of an organism resulting from various causes, such as infection, genetic defect, or environmental stress, and characterized by an identifiable group of signs or symptoms.
2. A condition or tendency, as of society, regarded as abnormal and harmful.
I would like to see a definition for the word from about 25 years ago, I just can't grasp labeling these things as diseases.
Becasue the defination is PC.Quote:
