Yes, I'm sure my view is stereotypical, but we are all guilty of that since the three of you just drew your own conclusions and lumped me into a stereotype as well.

Uhm... I never said anything about you at all, I spoke only about the post itself and how the POST made me feel, the way you phrased it. I made absolutely no attempt at puzzling out why you may have written it that way. It wasn't my place.

All I meant to say is that it is refreshing to see someone work so hard at their happiness. Whether that is MtF, FtM or any form of building yourself to your own ideal. I consider myself quite lazy in my own efforts and someone like Doll, to me, is an inspiration to try harder.

OK... (Looks at all her own efforts and research and her huge freaking program thread and wonders how ANYONE can say she's just being lazy and bemoaning her fate.)

Back to Doll's topic:
I thought this was an interesting article about spot reduction:

WOW! Thanks for that! This is a MAJOR problem I've been facing as well! Though what I'm looking to reduce is a little bit different! Basically just the waist... I've read about half of it so far. Really interesting stuff! EDIT: ANNNNNNND! For me this particular article is EXACTLY what I need. All the same tricks outlined are the same tricks I need. I just need a treadmill to make it work...
