Today, my roommate turned the thermostat down to 50 degrees. Why? Because she read that shivering burns calories. FML

Bit nippy out
Today, my mom wants to save money on both heating and electricity. Put into practice, this means that the temperature in my room is about the same as that in our fridge. FML

Today, my skinny co-worker complained that sitting just underneath the AC vent was making her too cold. My boss had us switch places, because "your mass keeps you warm anyway". FML

Today, my roommate decided to turn off all appliances in the house to "save" electricity. This included the refrigerator. FML

Today, the lack of heating in my room has gotten to the point where I have to cuddle my clothes for the next day at night so they're not freezing when I wake up. FML

Today, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML

Today, my boyfriend is wearing a t-shirt and shorts. I'm wearing leggings, sweatpants, a vest, t-shirt, jumper and hoodie. If we turn the heating any higher, he starts overheating and sweating. At the current level, I'm still shivering. FML

Today, the heater went out at work. I was shivering so hard that someone thought I was having a seizure. FML

You should keep an eye out. A friend of mine was anorexic and drank ice water, took cold, baths and turned the heater down to burn more calories.

Well then you must be pretty stupid to drop it every time and if you're American damn I'm ashamed to be in the same country. You know it's just a picture yet you keep dropping it wow.

In actual fact she's correct in a way. When your body is cold it kick starts your metabolism which burns calories in an attempt to keep warm so she isn't the idiot you thought she was. Don't be ignorant. Read up for your self. IT'S TRUE

I don't think the problem is the diet but the fact that he now has to live in a cold room..

Well, she IS right. A person burns more calories in a cold environment than in a hot environment. I don't see why she's stupid at all. Lazy, yes, but not stupid!

Because it does. Your body wants to maintain homeostasis and if your cold your body will burn calories to stay warm.
