    Edited because I failed to read the comment properly. I thought you were asking the identity of your gif, I was happy to point out Lambchop!

    yeah, I still see abs in the before pic....YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!

    /sarcasm
    I immediately noticed that too, but (for once) I didn't have a sarcastic response... it was just "damn! that's your before pic?!" And also, lifting weights may be crazy, but you don't suck at it. The only way to suck at it is to not do it. :happy:

    I'm still waiting to get slapped for not having credibility because my before picture is not worse. :frown:

    BE FATTER!!

    And don't worry about fake Thor. Pretty sure I shut him up something fierce.

    It's kinda weird to be somewhat ashamed that you didn't start counting calories in a worse position. I know I will never fully understand how obese people feel. And I make a point not to minimize their struggles.

    And yet, its so easy for people to minimize mine.

    The struggles I've had are as real to me, as yours are to you. (Not pointing to anyone in particular).
    And while I don't have the same perspective, it doesn't mean that I haven't struggled with things and it doesn't mean that I haven't had to learn. I also doesn't mean that my perspective is useless.

    I have lots of respect for people of all sizes, shapes, eating plans, goals, priorities. I don't think anyone has to be like me (hell, I would NOT advocate that at ALL!)

    The whole point of this post was to say...
    IF you start with counting calories. And are true to that... then you will find that you can STILL incorporate some goodies into your diet, but that you are also forced to find ways to adapt your diet to your goals.

    Focusing on calorie limits will cause you to become inventive as to how to achieve what you want... whether it be by exercising more so you can eat ALLDUHFOODZ, or whether it be by cutting out all sugar, or carbs, or treats.

    If you can be healthy - mentally and physically - with whatever lifestyle you choose... it will be one you maintain.

    Having been here I see now there are two groups of people, people here to live healthy lives and then all of you people saying that chocolate and diabetes causing foods covered in fat is ok!?
    Fallacy of the excluded middle. Or is it a strawman? Or simply very very bad reading comprehension?

    Are you really saying that one cannot eat any chocolate, ever, if one desires to be healthy? Isn't that like saying that if one eats one salad in one's lifetime, one will therefore be healthy? Do you truly know nothing about dosage? A diet consisting of nothing but chocolate would be no more healthy than one consisting only of organic lettuce leafs. So it is a bit of luck no-one is recommending either! Moderation, balance and portion control are what is being offered here, not your apparent black/white view of the world.

    Who is white kitten beta guy? Someone knows.

    Lamb Chop is the original sock puppet. I think late 1950s, early 1960s. Beta Bill Rambo or whatever his name is (who had the white kitteh av) has to be someone's sock puppet account.

    I'm hoping someone outs him or her.

    Yes! Fat covered food IS ok. You are not going to get diabetes from a small piece of chocolate each day. This isn't about cutting foods out completely becuase if that were the case, life would suck (um..bacon anyone??) and by your account everyone would die from poor health.
    This is about finding balance and not shaming others simply because you have some really strange fear of food that perhaps you need to get some help for.
