People who treat speed bumps like stop signs. It's especially annoying since my apartment complex makes you go over a few to get in and out.

Your car's not going to explode if you go over the bump at 10mph! You don't need to crawl over it at 2mph! If you went a bit faster it'd actually be smoother since your suspension can do its job properly; you're not accomplishing anything by acting like you've never seen a speed bump before. :argh:

Meanwhile the actually dangerous part of driving through here, a sharp S-bend with poor visibility, doesn't have a speed bump anywhere near it, so people gleefully blow through it at 30mph(and panic if there's someone coming the opposite way, because it's narrow enough that everyone defaults to driving down the middle of it). It's only the straight sections with perfectly fine visiblity that get speed bumps.

Here we go

I’m not “fasting,” I am eating the appropriate number of calories for my CO part of the CICO formula. It is unfortunately a low number. I would love to be able to lose 1-2 lbs per week on 1400. I don’t. I tried for literal years to do so on 1400, 1200, and 1100.

Once you’ve been fat, yeah, you’re boned on metabolism forever pretty much. I will never be able to eat “normal” amounts again, as long as I live. There’s simply no way around that. I’m only losing 1-2lbs per week; this is a healthy speed. It’s the healthiest it’ll be. Studies show that four major things can gently caress up your metabolism forever:

1. Being female
2. Being over 40
3. Having fat parents
4. Having been fat ever in your life

Since I hit all four, I’m unfortunately just boned on metabolism. It’s kind of cool to know that I’d likely live through a zombie alocolypse since, hey, I can live on three carrots and an apple per day :).

So, being boned, I can make a choice: eat the correct number of calories per day for a healthy weight for me (6-800), or whine about being fat and unhealthy while still scarfing 1400 calories a day. I choose to stop bitching and deal with the fact that it’s going to be harder for me to lose weight than the internet hivemind “thinks it should”.

And I’m sorry about your friend but your post also reveals a pretty important insight: you talk about “stopping”. There isn’t any “stopping”. I don’t get to diet and then go back to eating too much; of course I will gain weight! I am making a lifestyle change to eat the appropriate number of calories for my metabolic needs. It is a lifetime change.

I don’t mean to come down hard on you necessarily, I like your posts YTM, but your reply definitely hit that pet peeve button.

It’s pretty AUG (to give a nod to another PYF thread) that once someone is losing weight, they still can catch poo poo for not losing weight the way the internet thinks they should. Not aiming at you YTM but I’m general. It’s disheartening as gently caress.


Edit: and I am eating real food, not soylent or whatever crap meal replacement some people eat. I’m just eating way less of it. 3oz boneless skinless chicken breast with roasted broccoli is a better dinner for me than 12oz steak with mashed potatoes and glazed carrots, etc.

With the CICO then do you mean calories in/calories out or something? If yes that’s probaby why people are commenting. Most people just set a number of total calories (which will be higher) and not factor in burned calories because tracking that effectively is is voodoo. That number does seem absurdly low.

But whatever works for you, works.

I have a metabolism that can cheerfully carry me along just fine with 250 calories a day.

Metabolism isn't the number of calories it takes to make you fat, it's your body's energy usage. Life cannot be sustained if it's too high or too low. You are either 18 inches tall, full of poo poo, dead and typing as a ghost, part tree and running on light energy, or underestimating how many calories are in foods.

I know you'll just disregard this as a BUT ACTUALLY post, but you aren't eating what you think you are.

Yikes. Your brain needs about 25% of the total daily intake just to keep itself running. 250 kcal is extremely low. Idk, maybe do some sudokus or cryptograms (just reading a lot is not enough) or something? Might help the whole metabolism thing going

I was in the gym today when the fire alarm went off. I headed out to the muster point and stood around for about 15 minutes until the front desk guy came out and said some pillock had pushed the wrong button in the lift. After that I went back to the gym but I couldn't get back into it, so I went home disappointed and frustrated.

Further, most of my family didn't even get in touch to wish me a happy birthday, but that is much less annoying than my gym time being spoiled.

That is my peeve.

If it isn't urgent or personal, don't call, send a text or email. If it is personal, ideally, send a text or email just saying we should talk about X and asking when?

Cold calls are for telemarketers and emergencies.

Also, my recent watching of Riverdale has given me an anti-peeve.

It's has been great to see gay kids having to deal with unsupportive or hateful parents. That's a great story that can and should be told and told again. But it's been told SOOOOO many drat times, especially in my Sexy Teen Dramas. Things aren't perfect but we have had a lot of LGBTQ representation recently and not every gay character has to have a plotline about how gay they are.

Riverdale has a The One Gay Kid character who mentions coming out is hard when you're the Sheriff's son, so I was thinking "oohhhhhhhhhhh boy this plot again." But when we actually meet him and his gruff, manly, conservative Sheriff dad, the dad is totally cool with his sexuality. He gives 0 shits and has the exact same romance conversations he'd have with a straight son. I think that's also a really important thing to do with gay characters. (And other minority characters.) You can be the flamboyantly gay kid and still be normal as hell otherwise. I also dig how even though he is pretty stereotypical he also shows up and does things that aren't sooooooo gaaaaay~~~~~, like he's in sports, not theatre.

Adjustable nylon straps with squeezy-clicky plastic buckles. Since having a baby, they've ramped up their presence in my life inexorably. I've gotten much better with them than I used to be, but gently caress if they're not the worst thing I handle on a daily basis. And every loving product designer thinks they've cracked it and made the simplest T-buckle for car seat or stroller, but it's just another loving mousetrap that tangles my ligaments. And then don't even get me started on the different ways "one-handed collapsible!" products try to work their blatant lie. "No biggie, just use a foot to push down here and then pull the lock! Oh, that didn't do anything? LOL"

Yessss strongly agree. I can't tell you how many times people have refused to pay $250 for a puppy with all it's shots, registration, chip, and complimentary leash and puppy chow. How cheap do you thing it is to take care of a dog anyway??? And then of course they stick their nose up at adopting a 1-year-old for $50 because it's not as cute.

If you're not using a food scale and weighing everything you eat in weight not volume there's v little chance you're actually eating 600-800 kcal a day and if you only have 30lb to lose trying to do it in 15 weeks is stupid. 2lb a week is for the obese.

Go to the weightloss challenge thread, I'm the current OP even though I don't post there anymore because heyo I developed some sort of weird food anxiety disorder but everyone there is hella good and has great info. Have fun. Don't be miserable, there's no need.

I didn’t say I’m eating that little.

That’s silly. I’m eating 800 calories a day and losing 1-2 lbs per week. But being able to eat less than folks around me is a silly little hidden superpower and it makes me giggle. I want that extra food, but it’s not for me. So I find humor in imagining funny situations - like one apple left - where my mega metabolism would be a help instead of a fatty hindrance. Sorry I offended a bunch of internet folks.

Again, I’m eating 800 kcal / day, losing 1-2 lbs per week, have lower bp than I’ve had in years, and can bike 30+ miles again. I don’t understand why I get poo poo on by tens of people when I bring this up, but that’s why I’ve stopped doing so irl. The number of calories you think I should eat is not working for my old rear end.

This thread and the 6 posters who fell over each other to prove me wrong are why it’s a pet peeve I guess. I’m going to keep losing weight at a healthy rate while some folks get apoplectic about a giggle I get.

Why are people so angry about a former-fatty getting healthy?

Edit: I am also not miserable, since when is eating a couple of chicken breasts per day instead of two big rear end sandwiches considered miserable

You don't have a total daily energy need of 850kcal a day. If you do actually eat 600kcal and have been losing at that rate, which is more like 1lb a month? A toddler needs more than that to live. People are telling you the truth. Unless you are magic.

Because a human body that can run as efficiently as yours supposedly does is impossible. By a lot.

Does anyone else remember that weight loss thread from around 10 years ago where someone was frustrated that they weren't losing weight while eating 1000 calories a day, then later on down the thread was all VODKA HAS CALORIES!? because it turned out they were drinking ~1600 calories worth of vodka most nights?

Okay, you’re all right and I’m eating way more than the kitchen scale says I am. I didn’t claim to be magic, so if me saying “oh man you’re right I forgot about all them twinkies” gets everyone here happy then here you go

Oh man! You’re right! I forgot to add in the twinkies!

I think you’re trying to help, as opposed to cut me down, but it’s pretty silly, no? If I’m secret eating 1400 a day and somehow not counting right, I’m still losing my 1-2 a week and feeling great and seeing energy levels I haven’t for years. If you and all the other posters need to believe I’m completely wrong that’s... fine I guess?

Meanwhile I’m gonna nope out of the pet peeve thread, since, as stated, getting poo poo for losing weight (“you aren’t magic / you don’t have magic organs lol”) is really weird and bad. I’m gonna keep doing what’s working in a healthy way.

I posted on the my fitness Pal forums for a bit and many many many people do this exact thing.

My mum does it as well but it's "I eat 1000kcal a day and can't lose weight!!!" When she doesn't actually count, weigh anything or remember that peanut M&Ms also have calories. With the amount of diet-misinformation out there it's hard to be mad at someone for believing some dumb poo poo but it's frustrating as hell.
