What if we like implanted everyone with nanorobots that are all "I SLEEP" for the first 2000 kcals you eat per diem but then wake up and eat everything in your stomach before you can get it all the way to the small intestine This is my Mad Science idea, now accepting applications for creepy deformed henchmen

I taught myself to relish the feeling of hunger and put off eating for a few extra hours each meal, and for a while and managed to stay super slim. That I was an active daily hiker/poor backpacker and constantly had food poisoning may have had something to do with it. I need to lose a few kg in fat and gain a few in muscle so should probaby get back on that starvation kick.

I don't know what to tell you here bud. Life is often unfair and every once in a while you have to eat poo poo when you really don't deserve to. However, part of being a functioning adult is recognising that and dealing with it like an adult and not like a child who thinks having that cookie is going to solve the problem.

Patience and a willingness to wait are dying off. I mean, "this solution to the problem COULD work but I'd rather we just spent a long time attempting to reform our society in vague and undefinable ways" is an idea I'm always arguing against W/R/T politics so I don't see why I should agree with it W/R/T obesity but my solution DOES involve nanotech so maybe I don't have much right to toot the pragmatism horn in this case

As much as Caganer's posting sucks thats not a fair thing to say. Everyone hits that point where they do everything right and it all falls to poo poo. Most people understand and can deal with it but it can still get you down and the urge to give yourself a pick me up in the form of a cookie isn't the worst instinctual coping mechanism in the world.

The BMR would have to be adjustable because I just checked on an Internet website and my BMR is actually several hundred kcals higher than my wife's BMR just by nature of me being a dude and a few inches taller and a few dozen pounds heavier, but if you're starting from a baseline of "nanorobots that live in your tummy and eat all your food" I don't see why a variable calorie limit would be a dealbreaker

Telling a person who's 150 pounds overweight to eat less is a solution in much the same way that telling an anorexic to eat more is a solution to anorexia IMO, sure it's correct in that it would solve the problem but it's really not that simple. Disordered eating is a lifelong problem.

PetraCore posted:Honestly it's one of the things where like 'gamifying' something like a calorie counting app actually seems like a smart healthy decision bc if you do it right it's a bit of that hit of instant gratification people get from eating crap. my issue was that it's basically impossible to calorie count at restraunts so social events led to me bingeing out of feeling anxiety. i really like diners for this reason btw - stuff like eggs and bacon are so simple you can manually compute it. most other foods the calorie counts vary so widely it's really hard.

The depressing thing to me is that we have studies showing that a) once you've gained weight, it's very difficult to permanently lose it, and b) there is a growing childhood obesity epidemic. It sounds like the best thing you can do for your child is to keep them as healthy as you can

I don't like to give Cheesecake Factory credit for much, but we went there once like last year (because my aunt gave us a gift card) and they have calorie counts on everything, and a "skinny" menu that was just their lower calorie-count stuff, some of which still had a pretty ridiculous number of calories, which really drove home how many calories the normal poo poo had. I basically picked the thing on the skinny menu that had the least-embarrassing-sounding name (I think it was some kind of shrimp pasta?) and got out of there dignity intact That said we have not been there once since then so anyone who cares about calorie count might not be Cheesecake Factory's target demo

Disordered eating is a lifelong problem. Yup, it's totally useless and just plain stupid to say "Haha, why can't she just eat better and go to the gym???? She's so fat and lazy!  " when she's 150 pounds overweight at age 29. She has a lifetime of poor habits to unlearn and internalized shame to get over. Losing weight at that point requires a complete 180 degree lifestyle change in every respect, which is what she should be talking to her boyfriend (and probably a therapist) about, not whether he wants to bang hotties or whatever dumb crap. Communication is key!

Thanks! My ex-girlfriend [27 F] and I [27 M] broke up 3.5 weeks ago after a ~4 years relationship. This past weekend she got very drunk and hysterically cried out of guilt about the breakup (that she initiated) to all my friends. Should I just forgive her?Breakups (self.relationships) quote:First off, completely separating myself from her has been difficult. We met during professional school, and over 4 years forged a very close knit group of friends. On top of all that we are in the same profession in the same region.

Eating 20 oranges a day is still like 1200 calories. If it were that easy, there wouldn't be fat people. Nobody gets to be 150 pounds overweight because they're eating the wrong things, they get that way because they're eating 6000 calories a day. Because they have eating disorders.

bad day posted:There’s a number of childhood friends/relatives of mine who seem to have died from fentanyl and I would really like to know more because everyone acts like they committed suicide or were full blown addicts when it was likely an accident. A big problem with the opioid crisis as a whole is that an addict can have a tolerance on pure batch heroin, say half a needle’s worth. They go out, buy their regular amount, load up that half-needle’s worth, shoot it and die because they got a batch cut with carfentanyl or something else making it way more potent. Hell, I’ve seen some news articles where dealers distribute the cut product and ‘mark’ the baggie with the insignia of rival dealers. When people OD and some die, the people that survived are like ‘well, I’m not buying from so-and-so again’. But you know, since addicts are bad and subhuman and they don’t want to look bad and subhuman by association they’ll lie, and law enforcement will just shrug and not put too much effort into busting whoever is supplying the carfentanyl.

People are saying it's functionally impossible or that I'm saying tell the person that they need to eat less. I'm just saying it's a) very possible, and b) you can start by changing your diet to eat better foods. I'd also contend that it's pretty easy to get 150 pounds overweight by eating the wrong things by constantly eating fast food, buying snacks, going out to eat, drinking your calories, and drinking a lot of alcohol. I think Cough Drop The Beat put it best. She should be talking with her boyfriend about this and going to a therapist to help her stop bad habits/combat a potential eating disorder.

Incident at Street Fighter Tournament (Washington)quote:I'll start off with some back story and give you a quick run down on the events. I recently flew out from Connecticut to attend a small Street Fighter 2 (fighting video game) tournament with some acquaintances. We rented out a decent venue and things seemed to be looking good. I suffer from very severe anxiety and have been prescribed Xanax by my Psychiatrist. on the day of the tournament I felt extremely nervous and took 15mg of xanax to calm my nerves. In my first match I was heavily inebriated and barely able to hold the controller properly. My opponent was button mashing and spamming projectile attacks which really pissed me off. I was so angry he got a double perfect on me that I stormed (stumbled) out of the building. I can't even remember much but I know that I was rolling around and that I was seeing visions of druids being beaten by police. I thought that my opponent's car was one of the cop cars and I shoved a large rock into the exhaust pipe of my opponent's car And may have also smashed out his windshield. The owner tried to drive out of the parking lot and the car smoked out and broke down in the middle of a rather busy road, resulting in a nasty collision. "I saw 'HONDA' and thought we were still fighting"

I hate coffee, like fizzy drinks, and I need the caffeine. It still lets me get my poo poo done without running down the street naked and tearing my skin off of my face.

Fiance [28m] is upset that I [22f] spent more money on our toddler [2m] than him. He hid the stuff as a retaliation. I don't know why he's acting like this?Relationships (self.relationships) quote:My fiance proposed to me about a few weeks ago. He bought me this gorgeous diamond ring, proudly telling me he spent 5,000 dollars on it, and after getting it checked I confirmed it was worth that much. I'm very grateful for it, and I tell him daily. His birthday was on Friday, and we went out to dinner, a movie, and spent the night at an nice adults-only hotel. The present I gave him was a designer watch that he said he'd been wanting, and some cologne. He seemed pleased with them, so I was happy.
