i'm trying not to doomscroll but it is so hard. the ice sterilizations, the smoke outside, the guy in lacey gunned down by cops while the kid with the assault rifle was waved through, it's really getting to me.

Woke up at 2am because sleep doesnt' make sense anymore this week

Discovered that the air quality page I'd kept up every day was showing healthy air in the south bay

Went for a walk outside for the first time in weeks

Now I'm playing Rimworld and got the following 3 random events in rapid succession: Plague, Heat Wave, Toxic Fallout

Thanks game

the ease of losing weight for me is basically identical to the ease of measuring the food I eat. if I'm going out to eat or eating in the cafeteria at work, it's basically impossible. but if I'm cooking at home it's pretty easy once I have some basic ingredients set up.

what i have found to work is to use a popular calorie counting app that allows you to scan barcodes and/or input your own recipes. i can say myfitnesspal does both.

if you are diligent about it you will get a better sense of what X calories looks like and/or the difference between takeout/cafeteria version of dish X and a homemade version of dish X. you�ll also tend to train yourself away from fast food and towards your own meal prep

then you will be able to measure better and make more informed decisions. eventually the strategy shifts to erring on the side of caution and slightly overreporting calories (i.e. every banana is 110 calories regardless of size). that way you will build in room for any discrepancies/miscalculations over time.

i think it was j-wep who suggested at one point to try to shoot for ~500 calorie daily deficits from what the app tells you is your daily limit, based on weight/height/age, before any buffer �bonus� calories from exercise. i�ve been applying that and getting results lately. your deficit target may vary, but it�s a useful idea that�s not too much work micromanaging. hth

that was me yeah. a 500 calorie deficit is hard to maintain but mfp for sure overestimates what my base actually is, so it worked for me.

it�s not sustainable as a hardline every day but it�s a clear aspirational goal. if you can get a run where you maintain it more often than not it�s a simple/straightforward way of muscling through a progress plateau

i�m reminded of the time my hs class valedictorian, in one of the last weeks of class and where the teacher asked people what programs they were pursuing next year, at her turn said loudly �FIRST OF ALL I DON�T KNOW WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING INTO ENGINEERING, I DIDN�T THINK PEOPLE WANTED TO DRIVE TRAINS SO MUCH�

did she ever live it down? idk i never spoke to anyone from hs who wasn�t already a close friend ever again
