Well, I think everyone has already put enough links about current website trends for all of us to gather enough inspiration...so I don't think I'll add to the list. I would rather discuss midnight snacking. I gotta tell ya, it's 12:53 right now and I could really go for a big hamburger. Is it a good idea? Probably not, but what's a guy to do when he eats tiny meals all day in attempts to maintain a weight that he's already unhappy with? I mean, don't get me wrong. It feels so good to put healthy food in your body, but its times like these when you want to undo the hard work you committed to all day, and just lay into some chicken tenders. Am I right or am I right? I don't think any place that sells chicken tenders is open right now, but you get my point.
Now its a crying shame that America is all about weight loss. I saw a documentary the other day that suggests that weight loss is simply a temporary "fix" to making people more healthy and to make them feel better about themselves. Its temporary because once you've lost the weight you have to work doubly hard to keep it off, and if you don't work hard, then its gonna come back twofold. How freaking depressing! A therapist on the documentary also brought up a good point about obesity being just like any other type of mental disorder, saying "You wouldn't ask a clinically depressed person to think happy thoughts, and assume that everything will suddenly be ok, so how can you ask an obese person to just stop eating and lose weight?" I guess I'm just tired of society placing so much emphasis on being as thin and in shape as possible because let's face it, your heart will only beat so many beats before it gives out, and no amount of dieting will ever change that fact.
So there's a little insight to my thoughts for the evening. Thanks to everyone who posted all the inspirational websites! They will come in handy this weekend for my site design. Seacrest out.
