It use to bother me that I might be racist. To be honest, I don't know if I am or not. My belief is that there's room on this planet for everyone, every race, every color, every religion. Maybe not sitting at my kitchen table, but there's room and I wish everyone the best.

I find myself more and more willing to call it as I see it. If blacks are being abused, we need to stop it....if whites are being held more accountable than anyone else, I'm willing to admit that too.

Personally, I'm getting real tired of feeling like I should be punished or do with less because of slavery. I never owned a slave, my parents never owned slaves, my grandparents never owned slaves, all the way back to immigration from Scotland, none of my ancestors owned slaves. I'm not being punished for that any more. Let's have things be fair for everyone...that includes "whites."

I tend to work like a dog, lose about 70lbs over the course of a year or so, and then slowly lose my bearing on my diet/exercise plan and creep back up around 300. This has happened three times now, the first time when I was 16, again when I was 22, and yet again when I was 26. I'm just now creeping up to my "fat weight" again, after being down to about 220 last year.

Here's the weird part: I don't consider myeslf bisexual (generally), but whenever I'm up to around 300 lbs I start to gradually experience weird sexual feelings toward men. When I'm down to my fighting weight, it goes away entirely and I'm as girl-hungry as any red-blooded American should be. But, without fail, once I start getting to my fattest weight, I start thinking about dudes again. Last year I deleted all my gay/bi-curious porn, but now I feel like an idiot because I'm heavy again, and craving dicks again.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I'm so tired of being fat and bi.

That was a concern that I heard brought up.

and damn if I wasn't craving dicks again
