not caring here posted:I always take heavy hitter painkiller scripts because you never know when you or someone you know gets a toothache from hell or throws out their back or something. Joking aside, this. I get small kidney stones every few months, and there's roughly a day of serious pain that OTC stuff can't touch. Leftover percocets or norcos end up being a lifesaver, and keep me from just cashing my paychecks at the urgent care. I think I've only really mentioned the one big stone I had (the first one) that led to the surgery and threatening the idiot in flight med who tried to turn me away, but I've gone in for treatment for three stones (2011, 2015, and two months ago), and had 4 or 5 others that I just dealt with.

Yes, I was an obese kid at 250 lbs, 5 ft 8 at my peak and gaining weight for me is super loving easy and makes for maintaining and dropping weight really difficult. I bike around 1.5-2 hours a day or do at least 2 hours of exercise most days of the week, to lose weight I eat probably 2,000 calories however I'm probably at a net caloric expenditure of 3,500+ per day.

He has a townhouse though, so Idk how it works for second level of an apartment. I think I need something in here to deal with the winter months, but is also transportable once the inevitable move happens. Ideas in my head are that, a recumbent bike, or a spin bike, but I dunno if any of these will work and be useful given the domain.

Seems like the only way to not be fat is to not get fat in the first place and the only way to not be an addict is to not start using in the first place. Sort of the same reason I generally turn down the heavy-duty painkillers if everything's still bearable, just in case.

Being on a strict diet loving sucks. Maybe I should have weened myself off of the 5000 calories or whatever stupid amount I was eating instead of going cold turkey to a 2500 calorie diet. Dinner isn't for three loving hours and I'm starving. I'm also going through nicotine withdrawals because I picked smoking up again when I went home a couple weeks ago and just quit again a few days ago and that's probably not helping. boop the snoot fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Jan 2, 2017 |

I don't really drink alcohol (don't have the time) and I drink diet soda, but I just quit smoking cold turkey two days ago. From a pack and a half a day habit to zero, I would kill you all for one loving drag. Just FYI

I quit soda *mostly*. I still have a 20oz coke once or twice a week with my lunch. I switched to Spindrift and LaCroix instead. Much better for you since it's just water with a little bit of flavor. That WaterRower is cheaper than I thought, I might get it sooner rather than later. First on my list is a new bed, probably gonna get the Casper like I wanted to like four or five months ago. And maybe a new couch.

New couch, coffee table, and bed frame this year plus bolster up on kitchen stuff--food processor, new forks and steak knives, etc and then later on in the year maybe a 4K TV.

Just from cutting soda to a minimum and laying off the junk food I've lost 20 pounds in about a year. Still got 20 more to go to get back to what I used to be. Feels good though.

Aside from the crippling caffeine and sugar addiction, I just like it with certain foods. The new rule starting this week is 3 per week (a couple of months ago it was 2-3 per day most of the time). After a month of that, down to 2 per week. The real trick is going to be finding more stuff to cook that isn't going to induce cravings, and that I can make in small enough portions that I'm not eating it for more than 3 days in a row and getting thoroughly sick of it.

I haven't had a soda since New Year's Eve which is legit the longest I've gone in like three months. I'm not craving it though because it's overshadowed by wanting a cigarette. One benefit of winter is it's too cold to go outside and smoke. Unless you're in the army. I would go out and smoke in the middle of a tornado if it meant getting out of some poo poo detail for a few minutes.

I'm lucky enough that I somehow never managed to pick up dip/smoking while in the Army. Thank gently caress. I don't drink alone, and I don't drink to excess. I bought a few sixpacks when I broke up with my ex and was like WAIT A MINUTE so I stopped.

Watched what my parents went through when they quit smoking in the late 80s/early 90s, so I never picked that up. A couple of cigars a year, that's it. I don't much like drinking alone either, so aside from a beer every few weeks, I don't drink much alcohol. Soda's my big weakness, no question. I've definitely been drinking less lately, and a lot more water (Mio and the others are great), though.

I'm thankful everyday since my thirtieth birthday that I was raised in household with soda so I never became dependent on it. I credit drinking nothing but black coffee, unsweet tea, and water with like 90% of the reason I've never had a real problem with my weight even with my relatively lovely diet.

Smoked in Iraq back in 06. 4-5 Cig a day kinda dude. Came back and for the first semester of college smoked 4-5 a day. Then one day just didn't feel like going out in 20 degree snowing weather to grab another pack. Didn't smoke until last year before I moved, I was near half a pack kind of day within a week, and smoked all 3 weeks after my OCS affair. I'm a weird kind of smoker where I can pick it up and put it down really really easy apparently..

Dipping is one of the worst and most annoying habits people pick up in the Army. Smells disgusting and people do it indoors and leave their spit cups out or just spit in a trash can. Outside you can always tell where a group of soldiers was just standing because there's spit everywhere

Still smoke a pack a day. Still drink soda daily. Still order a pizza once a week, but it lasts three days now instead of an evening because I get a big drat salad with it that's two meals alone. I just don't stuff my rear end full of double cheeseburgers while sitting in the recliner all day. Work keeps me walking and Frank dragging me around helps me stay around 200 pounds. Might be fat for some of you skinny guys, but it's better than the 300 pounds I wieghed when I got married, and still above the 180ish I dropped to during the divorce. A nice jiggly medium.

LITERALLY SHAKING posted:Have you had to crip walk with a cane yet? I spent about a year total dragging a stick around. In my 20s. Five or so months after I ets'd and my back absolutely had it, another six months around 5 years ago when I was in community college. Nothing that bad, although for a while when I first injured it in Afghanistan, bending over to lace up my boots was unbearable. When it flared up earlier this year I decided to not be an idiot this time around and actually went to an orthopedist. Two months of physical therapy made it a hell of a lot better. The second time two months ago was just me being dumb and thinking I could do deadlifts again since it felt fine. lol nope.

I'm gonna have to say the slow cooker. You can spend a bunch of money on either of them, or buy either cheap, but better slow cookers are insulated and don't disperse heat like a dutchie would.

Agree, slow cookers are well insulated and have an internal heating element so you're not wasting energy out the coils/burner if that's how your stove works.
