that is GENIUS, you should do it, for real. or a domme Thatcher, but that's a bit on the nose.

i'm going as capitalism

Various studies put the relapse rate after *any* diet/weight loss method at around 95%. Whether the specific responses mentioned in the doc are only true for VLCDs, there is clearly some kind of homeostatic pressure (whether psychological, hormonal, both) operating for most. Meanwhile, in most studies of people who've kept…

i remember having to get up and physically turn the knob on the tv to change channels

How are you people changing duvet covers, that makes it so hard?? Lazy way: match/tuck corners on one end. Completely ignore middle bunchiness. Match/tuck opposite corners, shake, the end. (For flat sheet --forward planning: get one of those frames you can slide around the floor w/o scratching it. Now you can just pull the…

Not at all. If you didn't get to make snowmen, sorry about your luck..

70s: i came out pretty chunky (almost 10lbs) but was average as an infant and toddler. 80s: we ran around from the time we woke up or finished school until sunset (which was ~9ish, in the summer), playing hide and seek, tag, hopscotch, catching frogs, swimming, biking, etc. in winter, we built snowmen, had snowfights, went…

:drinker: Cheers :)

it's not stupid! south beach is what helped me retrain my taste buds. until recently (slippage, won't get into it), i too've been eating a lot like phase 2/3 for several years. the first phase made me, somehow, cranky, giddy & lightheaded at once (at the end, not the beginning - i think my brain needed more glucose than i…

thanks fellow tin men/women for chiming in and making me feel better :) yeah i just can't do the bike without wanting to yak. so it's the stair master, sometimes, which isn't too bad bc i can control range of motion & it's too slow to make that disgusting sound/feeling. (music didn't help, could still feel it :( )

the first phase of the south beach diet. i have tried others, but never stuck with them long enough to make it to lunch. this one, i think i managed for ~10 & 12 days & stopped when i got loopy(ier)

i'd be fine with just the additions from 1, 2 & 4

the reason is, food scientists are employed by food manufacturers to hijack & exploit our evolutionary equipment, and marketers know how to sell the result, and having been hijacked, and had our leptin levels fiddled with, and knowing where to look, we want more.

Sorry!!!! They're still d*cks. Hope you're feeling better today :)

Who would expect that kind of behaviour from random strangers? You're not a tool for behaving like a normal person - you stood up for yourself in a way a civilized human being would respect. You did not anticipate they would persist. (Are you new to the country you're living in? Because of your written language, and the…

idk what other foods bother you, but i never eat just fruits on an empty stomach or late at night (too acidic, upsets my stomach). Same for veg (too fibrous). I have those more often in the middle of the day or early evening with other foods -- cottage cheese makes digesting fruit easier for me -- or else cooked a bit…

I read the title as "is it ok to wear compassionate shorts". I think - yes to compassionate shorts (good for you); also, be compassionate to others wrt your compression shorts (good for the rest of us).

Unless he works in retail or at a coffee shop or restaurant or something like that, where it would be normal for you or anyone to just pass by, I think, maybe don't go to his work. (Like, if he works at an office, that *would* be weird for you to stop by.) Instead, go to events he is likely to be at and make small talk.…

No, you're not wrong. They marked out that territory, it felt better to them than the area by the fountain, but you had a right to be there. idk.. some people are better than others at blocking out that kind of negative energy. I have a hard time ignoring it (hence my hatred of oglers). But my irritation at those teenagers…

no, that was not really my intention. although on the whole, iifym more or less, practically speaking, does imply eating something close to the content suggested by most sensible dieticians/nutritionists. *technically* yes a person could lose weight on the twinkie diet, that is really not what i was trying to get at. the…

well that seemed obvious, and was implied, but you're right, i did fail to mention the 2000 cal recommendation i thought was evident when mentioning the food pyramid guidelines tell me, please, how calorie balance (or imbalance) occurs outside of the context of food being consumed...

true, you didn't, sorry. & yes by 'general recommendations' i meant a ~2000cal diet (the one that's recommended in the food pyramid), which with regular recommended activity should equal something close to a net balance or at least minimal incremental gain & *for most people* should get them more or less near some kind of…

oooooh you want to be scientific about it. and also, compare regular people to professional linebackers... well ok. look man, you can't convince me that IF = people hit macro and micronutrients*, which, practically speaking, very roughly equates to some veg and fruit and proteins and prob some grains (ooooh i'm being…

reliably: sunny days, good music

the thing is, the whole idea gets confused when people imagine that criticizing *patriarchy* = criticizing individual men

right now the entirety of my anger is focused on just one thing, which is the city has ZERO legal spaces in the areas i need to park and me having to use their HIGHLY inefficient and life draining transit system, as a result. and then me feeling just exhausto all the time. that is their plan, to tire me out of revolution.

- oglers - gangs of obnoxious teenagers claiming the cable machine for an hour at a time, & not letting you work in - disease or fungus on equipment from (in some cases) a lack of willingness to a) stay home if sick and b) wipe surfaces after use - oglers again (can't overstate how annoying they are) those are my top 3…
