This works out well for me too. All I really have to do is not have a fat flap hanging over (or tucked into) my pants. Makes looking good at 46 a little easier. Lol. I’m a woman in ok shape but I look pretty good when compared to the average American woman.

@BethB LOL at “fat flap”! that was funny…and it is a bit less gross than when people call it a FUPA. Sorry, I know, it’s gross. When I say that around my wife she gets grossed out, but it makes me laugh because she is also smiling bc she knows that, well, it IS just that. Honestly, all you, me, and the rest of everyone else has to do is just do SOME type of physical activity on a regular basis, watch what you eat/eat less fast/processed food, and keep the weight within reason (it’s normal to put on weight as you age, that’s okay, but not 75+lbs weight!). One thing that I always get from others is “well, you just expect everybody to work out and look like you do!” Which couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s easy I tell people….just don’t physically look like you gave the fuck up and never move from the couch. I don’t expect people to all be super fit and lean and muscular, that’s not realistic, but when I’m at a public place, for instance, when I was at the movie theatre a few weeks ago, and look around and all I see is huge guts, back rolls, cellulite thighs jiggling, women with arms bigger than mine, etc….it’s like, jesus christ people, you only have ONE body in this life, why are you treating it like shit?! But all of those people don’t think their physical shape is a problem…..until they get older and then IT IS a huge problem..diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure[causing many of these], ankle/knee/hip/back pain or replacements, and on and on. Ever notice how you rarely EVER see extremely obese people who are like 80 years old or older? There’s a reason for that…they never make it that far. And I don’t know about others, but dammit I want to hang around this place for as long as I can, before I take the great Earth nap.
@tlgains @T3hPwnisher I get it, if you are trying to bulk, GC is awesome for just packing in calories and at that price, and ALL you can shovel down your mouth-hole, it can’t be beat. And as a kid, well, you don’t really know that it’s cheap, bland food. I guess I mean when you go back as an adult, besides the nostalgia factor, upon that first bite you go “I actually used to mow down plates and plates of this stuff? How did I do that?”

It’s been about 16 years since I’ve eaten fast food. This is how I feel when I look at it.
I love Golden Corral, though the one we go to is new - I’ve been to one that grossed me out. It was just sketchy and unclean-feeling.
Anyway, we’ve gone a couple of times after going to the nearby trampoline park, which is a huge treat as an experience combo. My husband loves the dessert bar and I love that I can have all the different veggies with mashed potatoes and some baked chicken, but ALSO have like two fried clams and maybe four spoons full of soup, and such. And then a tiny sliver of dessert because they cut them so small for the variety lovers (my husband). Is the food low quality? Yes! But I don’t want a whole serving of fried whatever or dessert, and I DO want six servings of southern style green beans.

Hey, I’m glad some still enjoy it, to each his/her own, I get that.
I did forget to mention one of my friends when we were in high school worked there, in the kitchen, and I do have knowledge of the goings-on back there….descriptive knowledge I will keep to myself. Perhaps that is influencing my current feelings about GC. But you do make good points, it’s nice to go someplace where you feel like a boss, picking and choosing what kinds of food to eat, how much, and being able to sample so many items. I wish it were like that at a nicer place….wait, I just realized, going to one of those Brazilian/Argentinian steakhouses is exactly that! All kinds of cuts of meats, as much as you want. I know where I’m going this weekend!

lol, good one. Still, looking down and NOT seeing your junk, male or female, would be highly distressing right?

Oh for sure, at my fattest (no one would ever have called me fat, 210 at 6’2 and reasonably muscled) putting my shoes on babe uncomfortable, that was far enough, can’t even comprehend being big enough not to have a full view down there!
AYCE Hibachi place I want to go to.
Get yourself to Omaha and I’ll treat. AND we have a Golden Corral…and TWO Brazilian Steakhouses. So really, bring sweatpants.

That probably beats going to Golden Corral and then going to the trampoline park. Like drinking wine after beer…
I once worked in a small town which had a highly questionable Chinese lunch buffet for $4. Canada does not have GCs but the one I once visited seemed popular with those who also enjoy state fairs, and reminded me of the small town too.
If the salad bar doesn’t contain fried chicken, is it even a salad bar?
I do remember Ponderosa fondly, but that also included the thinnest steak possible. Cuisine minseur. Except for the buffet part.
I also went to that Brazilian steak house chain. Delicious. But the world’s best steak is Argentine.

Well, I mean, to see my “junk” as a lady, I would certainly need a mirror. From a strictly anatomical standpoint, my lady parts are actually between my legs. Now, if I had to hold a roll up to wipe after I pee? That would be distressing. Unless you meant that as a female I can’t see my male’s junk. That too would be distressing.
@BethB & @EmilyQ , I’d swear we were just discussing something similar a few weeks ago.

They just recently started selling Yuengling out here. That was always one of my husband’s favorite things about visiting out east. You couldn’t get it out here, so it was like a treat. But our parties were always full of Rolling Rock. Until they sold it to Anheuser Busch. Now no one there drinks it anymore.

I really liked Yuengling. On a number of occasions driving up through St. Mary’s you can even smell the brewery.
Rolling Rock was pretty good too, but Id get this weird taste in my mouth after smoking the dankity-dank and taking a sip. It made for a bad combination.
Its not the home tahn beer anymore! They went all big time.

Lol. Yuengling is better in my opinion. But when you grow up next to the glass lined tanks… You drink RR.
I think it’s more that hundreds of people lost their jobs. And they were actually good jobs…
