Being newly conservative leaning is hard when you spent your first 34 years of life building up the fragility of a democrat.

Well... welcome.

Ultimately I voted Trump because that gay friend said not to bother voting at all since I live in a blue state so my vote wouldnt count

I grew up in Chicago so I know a bit about all that.

Apparently forgetting he lives in Texas, which is about as red as they come

Yeah... it's getting too close for comfort in TX. Too many people from California moving there

My baby brother just moved to El Paso which is mostly democrats but he said no one there is social distancing, gyms are open but no one cleans up.after they use anything and not a mask to be seen.

Sounds great. I'm going!

I cant wait to visit, lmao. I have a house reserved for 4 nights in April...4 bedrooms, private pool, $550 for the whole time

Bars on the windows so it's probably border adjacent but whatever. Bars on the windows!

That's a great deal. Lmao. Yeah... probably not the best neighborhood. But still.. have fun

My brother is white but spent time in prison and looks like he could be a tough mexican. No one will mess with us

Lol I would hope not.

And me, well, I got crazy bitch energy.

Haha. That works a lot of times. Shouldn't be a problem if you're just gonna hang out at the house. I mean.. pool!! Why wouldn't you? Lol

Right? I'm from the Seattle area. Anything above 70 is bikini by the pool weather

Hell, last time I was in texas it was december and still probably pool weather for me.

Lmao. I went to Texas in November once... everyone had winter coats on and i was walking around with a tshirt

Sounds about right. It's always nice there. Thought the first time I went there was a tornado warning which had my mother blowing up my phone and losing her mind.

yeah, no
body positivity is bullcrap

I was like, "mom, relax. We are in a top floor apartment with no bathtub to hide in, we will be fine. Byeeee." She doesnt think I'm funny

Yeah... you're never going to be an adult to some parents lmao.

if your friend is mad because you're doing the work, cut her out. If you're genuinely working out and improving yourself, no one has any right to tell you that you're toxic to them simply by being healthier.

Right. If you wanna be fat and happy, be my guest. But dont hate at me because I choose life over doughnuts.

She ghosted me. I'm hoping someday she will crawl back so I can return the favor and shut the door in her face.

While looking amazing in the new body I've worked my ass of to build

And I'm no body builder lol. I can barely survive Planet Fitness. I haven't stepped foot in a gym since I was 16. (Bit of a trigger) ||I was thin during my senior year of high school only because I wasn't eating, not because I was working out.|| I know what toxic pressure is like and it ain't because I have fit friends lol

I mean, be kind but don't let her run all over you. You worked for that, unlike most people and that's something to be proud of

When I joined Crunch they told me I would never succeed without spending $400 a month on a personal trainer

like dang it's actually nice to hear someone get there the normal way. she just sounds like she's so toxic that she can't even imagine doing the same

And for a year they were right. I got no where. Then the shut down happend and at 257 pounds I said, "oh hell no. I will not sit here and get fatter." Started watching what I ate, portion control, and walking.

truth be told, I come from a family of overweight people. It's not that we can't work out, it's that we're lazy. *I'm* lazy.

Oh I feel you on the lazy.

I didnt get to 257 because of ambition

It's easy to be lazy lol

like yeah, we put on weight quicker, especially on the hips. (if you saw my family, you'd understand lol) Doesn't mean the fact that we sit around on said butts all day does us any good. Like you said, at least own it

But we accidentally adopted a high energy puppy

that'll do it

Rescue said chihuhua mix. We get her and she's really tall for a chihuhua. A good six inches taller than our full grown chihuahua but so skinny from living on the streets

So I took her ass straight to Arbys for curly fries. We got her on a normal eating schedule and she kept growing so we DNA tested her

that's so cool!
