I don't know if "addiction" is the right word -- I think a significant part of dieting/exercise is habit formation.

I started working out this summer, and I have been pleased with the results so far. I feel stronger and have probably lost 5 lbs or so.

Maybe, but I'm on a 1400 calorie a day diet and burn about 400-500 calories a day. I hated it at first, but losing 4 lbs in 2 weeks is quite the high. For reference, 4 lbs is about 10% of my goal for total weight loss. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Plus I started my computer science degree since I'm already professional programming and solving all sorts of issues via the computer anyway. Might as well make it formal and get paid properly for it lol.

Exercising the mind and body! And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

It never ceases to amaze me how vain people are.

Honestly I'd never understood the apparent significance of brand name clothing. Never even heard of most of these brands until I started working with them. My god.
Arrr! Only th' Devil an' I know th' where'bouts o' me treasure, an' th' one o' us who lives th' longes' should take i' all.

There's definitely an argument for some name brand clothing - it's usually better made.
Obviously there are silly extremes where people will pay thousands just for a famous name, but I don't mind paying a little bit more if something is well made and likely to last longer.

I've got a leather jacket that was expensive...ish (not silly money but a few hundred) but it looks as good today as it did when I bought it 20 years ago.
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

I work at a mid-range department store that sells a lot of brands like Ralph Lauren Polo, Michael Kors, and Tommy Hilfiger clothing.

After taxes, a regular Ralph Lauren tshirt goes for about $106.xx and people happily pay that price. It's insane.
