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

Shivering, or just being cold, does burn calories.

Warn her that turning a room down to 50 degrees also runs the risk of getting punched by her roommate.

Isn't that a good thing? Burning extra calories?

Well, actually, if it's hotter, your blood gets pumping, so being in heat would burn calories more efficiently than being in the cold. Plus, making the AC constantly work swallows money BIG TIME. Shouldn't she just save up for a treadmill or a gym membership with that money?

Fool chick. I get that weight loss can be beneficial but sometimes the overweight girls are the most beautiful. Sometimes they can help it either. I do think that obesity can be a problem, but it could also be used to our advantage as we could take the fat and somehow use it as fuel for the future so that way it'd be possible for a girl to become skinny AND power some electricity or cars of some sort. Oh well, such a thing may only exist in fantasy.
