Drinking water and taking a few vitamins isn't a bad idea. The bad idea was doing ONLY that and not eating healthier or exercising. If you only did the vitamins and water you would probably gain weight since you would kill your metabolism.


80% of weight loss is calorie restriction, there's no way to gain weight when you aren't taking in more calories than you burn just existing. A 400lb person burns a lot of calories just breathing.

My personal experience suggests that starving, or slashing calories too drastically can slow weight loss, but only in the short term.


You can lose weight, you just have to chose a better life for yourself. I've lost more than 150 lbs, went from being unable to walk 100 feet to running several half-marathons and now I'm working on my first full marathon this fall. I still have about 50 lbs left to get to my goal, even working out twice a day, putting in 30 miles per week of running, my body will refuse to drop very much weight if I don't count calories and manage my diet as well.

Its not solely about being thin, its about living the best life for you, that's a complex thing that only you can answer for yourself.

Fatgoon should try keto. It's not the magic bullet evangelists would have you believe, but it makes calorie restriction very easy because of the macros you follow. I've gone from 13st4lbs to 11st10 in 3 months doing gently caress all exercise and staying under 1200 calories a day without feeling hungry once. My family have all jumped on it too and had similar results.

And really at this point, the gently caress do you have to lose? Eating a block of cheese will at least give you a casein high.

Eating a block of cheese while remaining under 1200 Cal. per day? Something doesn't add up.

hard to tell how well they communicate if you look at their name and decide not to interview them at all tho

quote:

Several months ago, I was interviewed by the local news and NPR. There was a new apartment building being built a few miles from my home, and one controversial item was the amount of Section 8 housing available.

My actual views are this - Section 8 housing attracts a lot of single working mothers. My neighborhood (including me) is mostly stay at home wives and mothers. There's obviously an issue there and I don't believe our neighborhood provides the right environment for those people. So I protested the Section 8 housing, made the local news, and was interviewed for NPR.

I came across very badly on NPR. Some of it is due to their agenda and some fancy editing, but some of it is mine. They asked me point blank if I was racist, and I said no. Then they asked if I was scared about lower class people moving in. I was so taken aback that I paused for a bit and stammered out an answer, which was rambling and bad and made me sound like a racist. I also mentioned that the nation was very divided and I didn't believe there were solutions to our economic disparity. And, finally, I said that I don't envy millionaires and wish I had their lifestyle, so single mothers shouldn't envy me and my lifestyle. It's not fair.

This was all from before the election and obviously, I view things a bit differently now. I see Trump is fixing the racial and especially economic divides started by Obama. So I'd love to do a followup interview but I believe that ship has sailed because we managed to shut down the Section 8 housing ANYWAY so there's no story.

But that's just backstory. This interview apparently aired in some markets last night, along with a followup stating that the Section 8 housing was closed. They also did a profile of a woman trying to get Section 8 housing and the impact on her life. Basically, the juxtaposition of the 2 stories made me seem like an enormous racist who personally ruined this woman's life. I also gave my full name in the interview and my facebook page has been swarmed with protests and horrible words and some of the most hateful things I've ever read.

I learned today that racism and classism still exist. I'm an average white middle class person, and I've been demonized and made out to be some kind of strawman representing all the forces of oppression.

If you're overly concerned with whether or not your neighbors "fit in" with you you are probably a racist or classist, so yes, you did in fact learn that those things still exist, just not the way you think you did

quote:

The "single mom" thread motivated me to send this in.

I've had some sleazy sex in my life, like I imagine most have. Some of it I enjoy, some I feel shame for now. Only one is so bad that I regret ever doing it.

I banged a single mom in front of her toddler.

We met on Plenty of Fish, had 2 dates that went well. I knew she was a single mom going into it. Third date ends with us going back to her place. Babysitter leaves and we hang out with her son. Eventually we put the kid to bed and get to fooling around.

After I eventually put on a condom she starts riding me, wearing only her shirt at this point. Her son toddles into the living room where we were doing it. She's facing me so she doesn't seem him walk in. I do but I just keep going. I make eye contact with her son and have the worst feeling in the world at this point. I grab her and tell her what's going on and she instantly slides off and throws pants on.

I awkwardly leave and ghosted her after that. Was too weird and I felt bad for that kid.

How long did you keep going? You said you stopped after making eye contact with him, which, ok, yeah, but how long did that take? That's a p key factor in whether you should feel bad IMO

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Yeah, what I said about the water and gaining weight was stupid. My point was that is bad and I tried explaining it in a really dumb way.

Racist mom: If someone asks you if you are some kind of -ist and you can't calmly and immediately deny it you're probably whatever that -ist is. Thinking that working single moms won't fit into your neighborhood because they are working moms is indeed classist. You Wouldn't see them much anyways since they are, you know, working.

When I was living in Humboldt Park there were protests about section 8 housing being opened on our block. And that was in a gang-ridden lower class neighborhood. From what all my neighbors were saying it's that as tough as the neighborhood was, it was still filled with people that paid their own way. It went in and absolutely nothing changed in the neighborhood. Section 8 housing just has such a bad stigma associated with it.

We fought a lot and she eventually dumped me because she walked in on me jacking off in our apartment after I told her I was working late. I wasn't, I just wanted privacy to jack off.

I seriously blew it now, I could have been a serious stay at home husband and rocked a life of leisure.

I am a "deadbeat" dad. I have 2 children by the same mother. My ex wife. I have not been in their life at all, I don't pay child support, and I don't ever intend to.

My wife gained full custody after the divorce, which was not fair, and only happened because she's a woman. She has a history of drug abuse but my own felonies were apparently enough to steal my children away for good. And apparently saying "I hate you and wish I never met you" in a private conversation is considered a threat to your ex-wife, enough to get a restraining order.

I am protesting the court's ruling by hiding away and not agreeing to these totalitarian rules. I send my kids a birthday card every year with 10 dollars, to be used only by them. I know from facebook their mother doesn't post about this, and odds are she uses that money on herself. I realize to the naked eye I seem like a monster who doesn't love my children, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

How does it feel knowing that your child grew up to be lead singer of the 90s post-grunge band Everclear?

$10 and a greeting card a year, huh? I feel like that's just enough to communicate the message "I remember you exist, but this is all I can summon up the energy to do for you"

Just goes to show how deep class resentment runs in the American psyche. We are so programmed with the idea of suffering as self-actualization and acceptance of any government intervention as a moral failing that even people who have been through the poverty meat grinder don't like to see others be saved from the same injustice.
