    Atomika, if you need pro strats for not eating and unhealthy crash weight loss, I got you girl. I got lots of gems like this:

    The goal is not to stop eating before you're full. That never freaking works. Instead, focus on eating food that quickly makes you sick. We're talking voluminous salads with nauseating vinaigrettes and copious carbonated water. Your goal is to nuke your stomach such that you don't even want to eat any more.

    Redirect desperate attempts at getting a dopimine hit to other areas. Buy cheap things on amazon. Drugs that aren't alcohol are another fine choice.

    yes, yes, I am listening . . .

    Instead of a big lunch, bring to work three small snacks to spread throughout the day and then don't eat any of them.

    If you can get your hands on some speed or adderall this all becomes much easier

    The millennials that want credit can't even get it.

    I have a few dozen friends that can't get home loans or even car loans right now. Or the car loans they're getting are like 10% apr. Mostly because they couldn't afford credit in their early lives and are struggling to establish decent credit at 30 (a credit card barely does anything). Bad credit is usually better than no credit, it turns out! I can't wait for my bankruptcy to fall off my credit report next year and get into the 800s.

    I have no idea how L5R works but if they have some sort of learning game set up I might try. Similarly I would like to play some really entry level netrunner, but last year when I looked I don't think I could find it.

    I only have 3 events scheduled* cause I just failed at securing tickets so I definitely will have time to just try shit, which is new and different (although actually I want to fill a lot of my empty time with indie games on demand, probably prioritizing pbta or pbta-adjacent stuff, also if anyone is actually running freemarket I want to play it, not sure what else but I'll see what's on offer).

    Keeping my calorie count below my BMR and also cutting out all the pizza and soda is working out well for me guys.

    Working more than 40 hours a week to get this shit done isn't working out so well.

    I think I'm going to take a vacation on my birthday week.

    I gained back the 20 pounds I lost earlier this year due to lots of little things adding up.

    Back on the dieting/exercising wagon, but the hardest part for me is business trips.

    The first few days of this "diet" I guess I'd call it everything was really foggy. I had stopped drinking soda and eating pizza overnight. But after that first few days, I felt great. I don't feel as tired in general, and I'm not super tired after work. I also started jogging 2+ miles a day on top of only eating enough to stay like 200-300 below my BMR.

    I am so god damned hungry all the time, but I've already peeled off about 20ish lbs (258 and now I'm 240). It's the first time in a long time I could fit without struggling into my jeans. It's nice. I want to get below 200. My ultimate goal is to get to 150ish.

    Figuring out where to say "this is my ideal weight" is hard. I'm 6 foot 3. In college my weight was 165, I was a bean pole, and I did collegiate rowing. Now I'm 241 but at some point in my late 20s the genetics I got from my Dad kicked in and I could actually build muscle through weight lifting.

    Ideally I'm thinking 200 is a good weight for me, it's just the dance of trying to get there while not loosing too much muscle and wanting to eat a whole pizza because I'm hungry.

    Its brand new and Gencon is the first time you will be able to play L5R. They said there will be a bunch of learn to play stuff because of that. The few folks who have gotten to play early say it is a pretty neat game with lots of different styles of play.
