Haha, no, I never “intend” to be insensitive – that’s Howard’s job…but for me at least, when I’m stressed/messy that’s when I tend to gain weight. Jillian Michaels says that stress/lack of sleep is a complete metabolism killer. I think that has something to do with it.

I don’t know if there’s a strong correlation between my weight and the appearance of my apartment, but someone wise once told me that I would be able to tell how I was *really* feeling about life or a situation (stressed, upset, etc.) by the state of my desk.

The messier my desk (or the rest of my apartment, really) the crazier and more stressed I am. Because even though that state of mind has me wanting things even cleaner and MORE orderly than normal, I just can’t deal with it to keep up.

*and I don’t think this was intended to be insensitive…I think it was just a funny conversation…*

If you were expecting something PC then you haven’t been a subscriber for very long.

There is a strong correlation between the cleanliness of living quarters and weight. Messy living quarters are indicative of self-neglect, and typically the person who doesn’t make time to clean their living space doesn’t make time to “take care of themselves” in other ways either, ie, working out, eating right. etc.

And I definitely see a correlation between my fitness, eating habits, and the state of my apartment. The apartment is just a mirror for the amount of time I’m spending on my personal upkeep.
