Today, I hit a new low in my diet. There was a danish sitting on the table in the break room at work, and I wanted it. At the end of day, one of the guys threw it into the dumpster. Guess who just ate a dumpster danish. FML

Today, I babysat the brattiest and most foul-mouthed 8-year-old I've ever met. After I survived three hours of it, his parents finally came home. He claimed I'd invited a boy over and that we did "stuff" on the couch all evening. They believed him. I didn't get paid, to say the least. FML

That... is not healthy. Time to talk to your doctor, because that sounds less like "wanted" and more like a compulsion.

Just... Buy a Danish like a grown up? What the heck is this? How does your diet have anything to do with this decision? Who are you to dumpster dive instead of buying a Danish? I'm so lost...

The rats just nibbled it a bit, but because you ate it, they stayed on their diets. They'll thank you for "taking one for the team" when they reach their goal weights.

Dieting makes people miserable. Eat what you want just in moderation and screw diets.

Yup. When people fall off deprivation diets, they tend to fall hard, and it's extremely hard to resume such a diet. On the other hand, moderation is a whole lot easier to maintain than deprivation is. Use a calorie counter, and keep track of what percentage of your calories are coming from fat, carbs, and protein. You can work out a more sensible routine that won't send you dumpster diving.

Apparently, there are anti establishment, artsy hippies who's objection to the man extends to living in squats and dumpster diving. Apparently, they even have dumpster diving parties. I guess it's extreme dedication to non-commercialism. I couldn't do it personally.
