		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m a pretty realistic gal. But over the summer, I have gained 12 pounds of laziness right on my ass. Twelve pounds is substantial enough to equals two sizes in jeans. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I find it interesting that you frequently mention your jeans and allude to the fact that you&#039;ve &quot;maximized&quot; the available space in those very jeans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I say this cuz I&#039;m 100% sure you look fine, in fact, probably much better than &quot;just fine&quot; in those jeans.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;And that brings me to a disturbing, yet interesting phenomenon that most men look in the mirror, and for some odd reason, have a much higher opinion of themselves than what is actually true, yet when women look into that same mirror, they assume a much lower opinion of themselves than what is actually true.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I&#039;m a guy. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don&#039;t be so hard on yourself. Sometimes the most interesting feature(s)or characteristic(s) of a person can&#039;t been seen in a mirror.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I saw a segment on ABC news tonight about English men who grow vegetables, hunt, fish, etc., and trade it for beer at a local bar. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps they&#039;re on to something.. &lt;/p&gt;</description>
