Tish wrote about being body positive over at Blog Sisters. This struck me because I remembered that another entry about weight was posted to Blog Sisters a little over a month ago (which of course, I commented on) and that last week, I attended a seminar where one guy was working on a drug for obesity at his biotech company (the drug hasn't moved into human clinical trials yet, but it makes mice lose weight). Yes, being body positive is a good thing, but it's one of those things that get shoved down in my mental list of what I should be thinking about this week/month/year due to, um, other things. It's probably also a self-esteem issue which means society on the whole needs to change its attitude, not just the individual. Anyways, this is the first time I've heard of Healthy Weight Week.

From the Testzone Blog Report, the weekly Tuesday Too:

1. Where in the world does your lap go, when you stand up?

To the fourth spatial dimension. That's also where all my missing socks are except I have no idea how to retrieve them.

2. "Life's is mysterious, don't take it serious." Are you easily riled by things you could have laughed off? Why does,or doesn't that happen to you?

I don't laugh off things very often but neither do I go ballistic. Some people call me laid back because I easily shrug off some things that go horribly wrong. Probably because it isn't the end of the world because they go wrong.

3. On the other hand, some things are serious. What argument/situation can't you walk away from?

Sure, but it would have to be life-altering though.

Addendum: I'm actually serious most of the time. I walk away from a situation when it appears that the opposite party is obviously too entrenched in their beliefs to even consider looking at the other side. I don't yell. I don't throw tantrums. But I stew.
