Re: losing weight. 300 lbs in high school Dropped to 240 in the years after I graduated due to exercising and watching what I ate a lot more closely. Stayed there until my 30s. Dropped to 193 by the time I was 34 because I had a job moving containers around a warehouse all day and didn't stop for lunch. Up to 213 (likely more after the past week  ) since my daughter was born.I suspect my knees and back will feel better if I can drop that last 20 again, but it's tough. Being able to go to work and not have easy access to food made it really easy to not snack, and effectively having to work out as a job made it easy to excercise. Gonna have to work on portion control but I have a hard time not stress eating especially now that I'm home all the time.

Kalli posted:I have one simple trick and it involves anesthesia and 7 doctors. I've considered it before but I really don't like going the surgery route. Which is not me saying I disapprove of anyone who does that fwiw. It just feels like it'd be a drastic change, particularly with me being the cook in the house. I've always felt like if I changed my diet significantly that it'd be stepping on the toes of my wife and kid. Even if I wanted to I definitely wouldn't want to approach a hospital right now. seiferguy posted:I'm scratching my head wondering if that was a design decision or someone measuring really badly then going "eh gently caress it." Its gotta be the latter. That being said I would kill for that sink. Whoever designed our kitchen left us with this tiny-rear end sink that fills up fast. Like presumably the previous homeowners--who had this place built to their exact specifications--added a big kitchen because they wanted to cook, but this is a sink that says "gently caress it we're doing take-out tonight."

What I like about the "Antifa did it" bullshit is the implication that yes Trumpers believe that an election was stolen and democracy and their country are at stake but no, none of them were actually willing to do anything about it it was actually a false flag because they're too cowardly and lazy.

I don't think I could do a fully dry January but I'm thinking of cutting back on alcohol just to cut back on calories. There's been way too much junk food around the house for the past month.Bird in a Blender posted:Mostly I just have one beer a night during the week, and then I'd have 1-3 drinks on the weekend. So I figure if I can cut out like 6 drinks a week, that's like 700 calories right there. I'll probably still have a couple drinks on the weekend. The other thing is that all of the chocolate and candies from the holidays are finally out of my house, and then I just need to restrict how much dessert I eat. That last part isn't easy when my wife bakes like all the time. And yeah this is about where I'm at. I have a beer/booze budget for the week and I stick to that, usually just having either a whiskey or a beer per night. But when football season comes along I end up saving them up for game day and end up having 3-4 on a Sunday, most of them with SNF Apropos of nothing I dreamed last night that I was in what was either an elementary or high school being invaded by vampires and I was annoyed. I threw a towel on the head of a vampire to blind it and then balled it up in the towel, complete with blood spray and crunching bones. Hate to think what the mess would have been like if it wasn't in the towel! Edit: Congrats to Fiz!

My day is all messed up because my usual "night off" (basically a night I do no chores after 7:00 and eat junk food) is Sundays during the football season. No game on Sunday so I took it a couple of days early, but that means my brain is suspicious that today is Monday. Also, daughter has a ton of schoolwork leftover from this week so we're doing that and now it feels weirdly like a weekday. I also slept in until 9:00 which I haven't done in ages. Wife and I might watch something tonight, or might not. We're probably going to see a movie with the kiddo and have some popcorn tomorrow.

Freaquency posted:You guys should try living in a place where it all just sublimates over the course of a few days and you never worry about it. We got snow Tuesday and it’s already almost gone. Over the last few years it feels like Southern Mass is slowly becoming this.  I don't mind shoveling. I just prefer that my snowstorms start late Friday and I can just fart around all Saturday and shovel it sometime on Sunday. We do have a plow service come before most of it but I still need to do about 1/4 of the driveway for various reasons.

Its 9 degrees here. When it gets super cold*, do you ever just step outside for a minute to breathe it in? I like how quiet it is at night when the temperature drops down this low. The moon is full and the snow on the ground is practically glowing. *yes, we all know [Midwestern poster], this isn't really that cold to you.

It usually doesn't bother me unless we go weeks of single digits but my wife and especially my daughter get really dry skin on their hands. Have you tried Aquaphor? Kiddo's preschool teacher recommended it last year and it seems to do the trick.

Toaster Beef posted:This time last year I was about four months removed from open heart surgery and dealing with a lot of just ... general malaise? It's a pretty normal thing for heart surgery patients to feel depressed after their operations, and some form of it hit me without my realizing it. I was okay, but just sort of going through the motions. Once the pandemic started and we all began working from home, it flipped everything on its head enough for me to snap out of it a bit and become more productive and enjoy my hobbies and such. My job is such that some days are 12 hours long and some days are 20 minutes long, but it's all very easily done from home and I consider it a pretty fair trade. You are a net positive on this forum and I hope you continue to do well. I would love to be at 192, whichever as about where I was before I quit my job 6 years ago. I'm probably about 215-ish right now which honestly isn't bad considering where I've been in the past. I lost 5 pounds at the start of all of this but gained it back and haven't wanted to step on a scale since the holidays. Like I had begun eating less out of some sense of control I think, and then my usual habit of stress eating jumped back in. I think I'm balancing just the right amount of "work" with just the right amount of free time with just the right amount of booze and just slightly not enough sleep every night. I'd wanted to cut back on alcohol due to calories, and had started to around last Easter or so, but just couldn't do it. I have about 1-2 drinks a night. But yeah, snacks are killing me. When I'm stressed I think of chips, not whiskey. I think we're doing a lot better here than most. My wife's job is steady. I was going to start looking for work last year with our daughter beginning school but that kinda sorta didn't happen because she's doing remote learning and at times I feel kind of like a failure because she's a little high maintenance and I am not super patient or great at dealing with other human beings. I'd thought I might start writing again but there's nowhere in the house I can concentrate and at the end of the day I'm stressed from keeping her on task and just can't think. The isolation hasn't bothered me hugely because I've always been seriously introverted. Still miss my folks though.
