I hate that show because it's exploiting people and glorifying unhealthy practices-- but certainly not because it's celebrating people for losing weight and not celebrating people who don't struggle w/ their weight. The sad thing is that our country / culture is so f-ed up you end up w/ 2 extremes and very few in the middle.

Everyone likes to people lift themselves up from failure. I guess it's inspirational to millions (who are fat) to see that they can get it under control. As for normal people not getting applause, I would argue that they get continuous rewards for their good work (all the things fat people complain about, from discrimination to worrying about what they can fit into, are not experienced by the person who is the right body size). Anyway, I'm not overweight, but I love to see these people accomplish these goals.

Shame it almost eliminated the eagles - cause it worked great on bb. Now they are back - and we don't have a good weapon.

while I do understand that people go thru some "normal" times where they are depressed (death, divorce, break up etc) - you don't seek treatment for normal behavior - if in therapy and medicated - it falls outside of the range of "normal" depression no matter where you live. I don't know how much it will affect your rate -but it can't be good -

The depression and anxiety were both a while ago (5-15 years ago), the adhd is current. I don't think the rate would help you unless I told you my age, when I got the policy etc. and I don't really want to put all that on UB!

Zero Population Growth was all the rage in the 70s. Plus, limiting the size of families, espcially poor families, was one of the first goals of PP, back in the 1920s. You need to do some reading in Womens Studies before you start stirring up shit. You come off as ignorant.

I am the one who suggested brooklyn. I have lived in the west village for 18 years and we are looking at alternatives, especially visually and think brownstone brooklyn is the next best thing. There are many wonderful restaurants there. THis is just our thoughts. I think Williamsburg is more warehouse like and far west chelsea more gritty. The west village was quiet, family like, with great inexpensive places to eat (with of course, beautiful brownstones).

And before the usual people just tell me to buy a smaller apartment, me and DH and our two DCs can't live in less than one thousand sq feet so that means that our family will pay 1.6 million to live in West Village or 900k to live in Williamsburg. BIG difference in apartment price for us

There isn't. So much of the West Village of old was the gay community and thankfully today you don't have to live in some enclave to be a comfortable gay couple/man. (I'm not saying there aren't bigots anywhere/everywhere, just that times are different.)
