 i didn&#8217;t have to look for a plunger (just in case) before i sat down to go.  i was even pooping <i>every day<\/i>!  it was like seeing god, and i really wish i was exaggerating about that.<br \/>\nas time went by and my regular pooping became a regular part of my life, i started to take it for granted.  as i got more comfortable with my regular pooping, i also became more comfortable with pooping in non-home environments.  i recognized that my body liked to poop at ten a.m. and didn&#8217;t like me making it wait until after work, so i stopped making it wait.  i finally became a public pooper!  considering i wouldn&#8217;t pee in a public washroom unless i was alone or another person was peeing or flushing to mask the sound of my tinkle, this was quite the accomplishment.<br \/>\nconsidering all the history i have with my poop, this last month has been quite uncomfortable and frustrating.  i don&#8217;t know exactly what it is about what i&#8217;ve been eating that has so dramatically changed my internal functions, but it has not been pleasant.  the interesting thing is, it seems to be a common occurance for people on ww if the number of times the topic comes up on the message boards is any indication.  that&#8217;s where i got the idea to try a fibre supplement.  i certainly hope this is just a temporary adjustment period and things find their proper balance sooner rather than later because i know that the last thing you people want is a daily report on my poop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>if you don&#8217;t like talking about poop or are at all squeamish about bodily functions (or my bodily functions), just look at the pretty kitty and come back tomorrow. i mean it. this is your last warning. seriously now, regular bowel movements are really wonderful. one can&#8217;t appreciate their lack until they&#8217;re subjected to the <span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span> <span class=\"more-link-wrap\"><a href=\"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/poop_rules\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span>Read More &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-photos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1850\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
