That's nothing like the Wizard of Oz!

Stay safe.

Is this just a routine day in the Tampa area? What is going on down there?

Yes, routine for rainy July-Aug, for sure.

Hurricane season is June 1- Nov 30... tornadoes spin off quite readily, in my experience.

I've lived in 3 regions of FL.

The thunder is so severe right now... I can barely hear the interview I'm playing through the computer speakers. I'm on the 1st floor... my floor is rolling... I'd imagine, akin to the vibrations from Studio 54 in its prime.

@BraydanTaffy Well done on the Studio 54 reference Hope it blows over soon.

TY, sir.

It's a daily occurrence & will be for my remaining time in SoFL. It's okay... every area of the country has its weather woes. I'm just the daily SoFL reporter.

You know I've tried to detach myself from a heath oriented lifestyle a bit, I mean I would literally weigh myself several times a day and bring out a tape measure once a week and pinch with calipers like a dozen times a day 😂...

My point is tho that I was extremely measured 😂... And I'm not even talking about food 😂...

I've relaxed a lot on this recently... In search of more balance I suppose... Or maybe I've just been lazy 😂...

But my point was 😂... I can not deny that how we feel mentally... Is probably largely affected by what we eat, probably more so than any school of thought...

Dude if I brought out the tape measure now I'd probably cry 😂...

But I've got a few more compliments since gaining the weight so I'm not too interested in losing atm 😂...

Although ultimately I think I just feel better at a lighter weight...

So I'll probably try to get back down soon, probably start getting use to the whole idea now and get back down throughout the winter...

This has been the process for me for some time now... But this time I'm going to try to get back down without getting all *kitten* crazy 😂...

Or maybe I should just stop eating so much junk 😂...
I do get better at it every time 👍🏼🙌🏼💪🏽

Dude my wife was like your fine 🙄...
She told me it's probably just inflammation from all the junk food I've been consuming 😂...

Dude I was like... Ppff no, I don't believe in that 🙄😂

But she's probably hella right 😂...
Hence this whole freaking tirade 😂...

🤣😂 Jesse 🤗

*Passes you a jelly donut and Xanax*

Now, this made me laugh and it shouldn't have. That said, @Mr_Healthy_Habits, I do think you're overthinking it. Are you leveraging your philosophical approaches for your health as well?

Is it weird to relish a cheeseburger for lunch, but then feel guilty about killing a fruitfly buzzing around my dinner ?

The last time I played Sims 4 I thought it sucked and allowed everyone to *kitten* themselves and die...

If we live in a simulation and the kid running it is like me, we're f@#ked.

When I first found this place and actually got going, I counted every single teaspoon of every single thing I put in my mouth. I counted every minute of exercise and racked my brain trying to decipher if it was this, that or the other, NEVER indulging in anything to make myself happy. I've never been a Ms Healthy Habits type of person to begin with, but now I've come to a comfortable acceptance of Ms Healthy Good Enough. AND I eat ice cream weekly! GASP I'm much happier now. I mean come on, I NEED junk food. Happy chemicals and all. My highest ever in my life was 235(granted I was 4.5 months pregnant but still) and I'm a pound away from 135 now, right where I want to be. I'm 5'9" so I finally feel comfortable in my own body. I'd still rather be in JLo's body but hey, that's life.
Sometimes we have to balance the happy with everything else. It's okay to not be MR(or MS Perfect) as long as we strive for good and improvement and healthy living.

So cut yourself some slack and love you for who you are!

I can't deny that I'm overthinking it... If I want to apply any sort of philosophy to it, I'd say...

I'm a bit self conscious at a higher weight because I feel a bit fluffy 😂, and I'm the same way at a lighter weight because I feel to light 😂... The answer is obviously not at the end of some never ending health journey... It's always a matter of within...

If I want to apply more of a scientific mindset to this... Dude I just need to cool it on the sugar and the drinking 😂...

But the other side is to just laugh at all how ridiculous this is 😂...

My intent is never malicious. I'm sorry if you perceive my fun banter (between friends) any other way.

These are Internet/words-only problems: I didn't take it as malicious at all. Had I said it when we were all sitting in the same after-hours lounge, we'd have understood each other.

(What? I'm not the only one who thinks the MFP forums are like a lounge bar...right?)

Don't mind @Peachesand_cream
She's from Jersey 🥰... 😂

I'm off on some trippy stuff this morning (or just a decent night's sleep...or this new coffee blend) so the universe and everything in it is nothing but love 😍

You've always struck me as being very determined, capable & consistent. With that self control, a bit of a stray is just a temporary detour. Sounds like you have a solid plan to get back to the road. More than anyone here, your ability to achieve weight loss & stick with working out is superior.

Just my 2-cents.

😂...

Dude did I just totally throw myself a little pity party or something 😂...

No seriously you guys I'm fine, like I've already really won the game of life in my book... The rest is just shinnanigans and debauchery for the fun of it all 😂...

There's no feeling sorry for myself here, never that 💪🏽...
I was honestly just laughing at myself 😂...

This wasn't any kind of break down or something 😂...

Back to your regularly scheduled program 💪🏽😂

I'm so so so so sorry you're feeling this way.
