I recall participating in juggling, hula hooping, and duck-duck-goose in gym, activities that are clearly sports
. I’m hoping the Olympics include duck-duck-goose as a sport in 2024, I’m thinking I will certainly medal.
Well it is a physical competition which allows for defending against the opposing players so it does fit your own definition of a sport...
If the juggling and hula-hooping were done in competition then of course all 3 meet your definition, right? Hello Olympic Committee, can we get these all in place for Tokyo in 2020?
I would watch the *kitten* out of competitive juggling or hula hooping.....or juggling AND hula hooping
Also, hula hooping is really freakin hard
I never could get the trick behind hula hooping.1 -
Being hungry means I'm doing it right. Shut up stomach, you've run this show for 30 years, time to take a back seat and stfu.
To me, being hungry means I’m doing it completely wrong. I’ve figured out what foods offer me maximal satiety and I’m not hungry any more often than I ever was. The biggest difference is that I’ve learned to eat until I’m satisfied, not necessarily until I’m completely stuffed. I don’t feel I’ve really had to suffer at all to lose weight (or now, to maintain it).7 -

I kind of disagree with this. I rarely feel hungry. The biggest difference for me is I don't freak out when I get hungry and feel the need to eat everything in site to compensate.3 -

We all just wait for your judgments to decide how to live.
If something as benign as a discussion on sports leaves you feeling judged then you are taking things way too seriously...10 -

100%, hunger has not been required for me. . . nor desired as penance for getting fat in the first place.4 -

Dude what’s with the lack of reading comprehension and/or critical thinking lately?
Awaiting “your judgements to decide how to live” doesn’t mean anyone feels personally judged by you any more than “competing against each other” means being able to block the other team from scoring.
His point is that you’re not special and no one cares whether you declare gymnastics “not a sport” because your one, single, solitary opinion doesn’t mean beans to the rest of the world and we don’t need your stamp of approval on what is or isn’t deemed a sport.14 -

Nice deflection.
So does that mean that duck duck goose isn’t a sport? Based on what criteria?
It checks the box of defending against the opponent. Are you adding a new criteria? Does the game have to be played primarily by grown-ups to count as a sport? Does it have to be cool enough or “hard-core” enough to suit you?11 -
And for the record, yeah...if there were a way to allow for competition at the elite level, I’d be all for Duck Duck Goose in the Olympics.
I wouldn’t watch 3rd graders play it...but adults who figured out/trained to play in such a way as to be elite DDG players with whom the average Joe couldn’t begin to compete...I’d watch that any day.11 -

Cosigned. To me, it's completely doing it wrong. Minimizing misery = maximizing potential for long term compliance, imo.5 -

Makes sense and get what you're saying. Unfortunately, IMO for many their hunger signals are "broke" and they most likely need to feel hungry for a while until they are accustomed to a new lifestyle.3 -

absolutely...I am not and have not been hungry during my entire loss phase.
I don't like feeling "stuffed" it's uncomfortable...
if that means eating snacks of yogurt, cheese, fruit, chocolate etc (whatever suits my macros/mood at the time) so be it.
I have always contended that the ones who get to eat the most food and still lose/maintain their weight win this weight loss thing....2 -

I can’t say that I have never been hungry during my journey. What I can say though is that being hungry is ok. Lol! It’s our bodies way of telling us it’s time to eat. The trick for me was distinguishing between true hunger and other false cues to eat, ie boredoms, stress and or depression.4 -

Awaiting “your judgements to decide how to live” doesn’t mean anyone feels personally judged by you any more than “competing against each other” means being able to block the other team from scoring.
His point is that you’re not special and no one cares whether you declare gymnastics “not a sport” because your one, single, solitary opinion doesn’t mean beans to the rest of the world and we don’t need your stamp of approval on what is or isn’t deemed a sport.
This^ thanks!2 -

I'm not special, you're not special, none of us are special. You honestly have my sympathies if you need the approval of an anonymous participant in an online forum for anything meaningful in your life.

What kind of "hungry" are we talking about? I can't imagine going through life never being hungry. I grew up being hungry before a meal and that's the way I still live. I can still hear my mom saying "No you can't have a snack, dinner will be ready soon." I still live that way. If I'm out shopping or something and get hungry, I rarely head for a drive thru. I stay hungry until I get home. If a planned meal isn't far off and I get hungry, I stay hungry until the meal.
I'm not saying I never have a snack when hungry, but most times I don't get hungry long before a meal in which case I just wait it out.
But everyone is different. I don't know that there is a right or wrong as long as it's working.5 -

We don’t.
I’ll say it more slowly this time so that maybe you’ll finally understand.
No...one...cares...what...you...think...
The entire point of the post you’re responding to is that we don’t need your approval to live our lives.
Declare marathon running not a sport all you want...you’re one confused fish in the whole big sea and your misinterpretation of the accepted definition of “sport” has no impact on reality.
No one is being defensive or fighting for the honor of “their sport” due to feeling hurt or threatened by your opinion. You’re not important enough for anyone to care.
The reason people seem annoyed is because it’s frustrating trying to explain things to someone who seems to be deliberately obtuse in an effort to not accept that they’re wrong.17 -
