  i walk alot in the summer time, usually about 5 miles a day when it's nice.

  i never eat too much, so i don't gain weight.

  a few days ago, i bought 2 ten pound dumbells and elastic bands and hand grips at walmart... i exercise with that about an hour a day.

  Absolutely,

  After losing 60 lbs, I do Cathe Frederich's pyramid workouts, Tamilee Web workouts, tae bo and some pilates to keep it varied. I feel funny if I go more than 2-3 days and not work out. I climb the stairs up and down 22 floors in my bldg. during lunch hour generally speaking or take a very long fast walk if weather permits. I hate the elevators

  I make sure my calorie count never goes over about 1700 a day. It's best between 1000 and 1500.

  I also do "manual labour" on the weekends w/ boyfriend

  What was your most humiliating point of being a jw?

  mine was when my mom signed me up to sit at a table at our local university.

  we had to sit there and talk to students as they passed by our table.

  a few people came up to start a conversation and i didn't even know what they were talking about.

  my dad who was ALWAYS po, conducting the rather large congregation bookstudy. i might add that he had the whole congregation worshipping him and eating out of his hand. that particular evening, i actually got to sit next to my friend; we were both about 14 or so. my friend started whispering a little too loudly and my dad literally stopped the book study to chastise me. TOTALLY embarrassing!!! then the fellow "brothers and sisters" ragged on me afterwards, as well.

  no casper the friendly ghost; scooby doo, any tv shows w/ a worldly holiday theme, although my parents always had a strange facination with dickens "a christmas carol" all they would do was go around saying "scrooge was right; scrooge was right!"

  no frankenberry, count chocula or lucky charms cereal (hey maybe they WERE doing us a favour)

  and DON'T EVEN talk about DISCO (all u oldsters; remember all those forboding articles on DISCO during the 70's????)

  "But hey, when you're a Witness you quickly dismiss such things (because you feel you are supposed to), or don't realize the significance of such things, or never really develop the ability to read people, missing things that non-Witnesses, through experience, learn. I guess you never fully develop as a part of the world, and society, when you are a Witness."

  YES!

  You learn to dismiss your "6th sense" as a witness as a bunch of voodoo and superstition; i WISH i had listened to my 6th sense as it would have prevented me from a lot of heartache!!!!
