What's on your mind?

I quit smoking when I was thirty and I did ok for about five years and then the weight really poured on. I went from 180 to 250 with out even realizing it was happening. One day I woke up and I was fat and then a few years later a diabetic.

The good news is I have dropped thirty of the pounds which puts me back to looking normal and the rest should be off in the next two years but truth be known I am just as hot fat as I am average weight. Fact is as we get older our metabolism slows down and we get fat. I am counter balancing this by working harder jobs. In general I do mechanical and machinist work but right now I am working in a warehouse and I walk nonstop all day long which gives me a workout while I get paid.

Getting old sucks but the trick is you just have to accept it and like what you will become because that is what you are.

That sucks. Put on a good 10 pounds these last two months. While not fat, I don't want to look like how I look right now. So I'm trying to get down to 155ish.

Still a high metabolism though. Lately I've been eating around 4,000-5,000 calories a day to bulk up. Turns out that its too much, so cutting back to 3,000.

Spoiler

Getting older doesnt bother me so much. I've always been a hard gainer which is how this weight gain caught me slippin. I have never had to pay attention to nutrition and all because I have always been the type that could eat 200 pounds of food and lose 20 pounds. I was 120 when I was 20. At 5'10" I was a twig.

Even when I worked my butt off to gain muscle...... 1-2 hours a day at full blast, supplementing creatine and whatever else I could get my hands on to make my body recover for the next day..... I only rested on the weekend.

By 22 I was 160 and change. But I still had an insanely high metabo... even after was told by a doctor to stop working out (Pushing my body beyond its limits and the supplementing)

I was told I may have kidney stones or kidney cancer (Talked to doctor when kidneys started hurting big time)

Turned out to be neither, but I also heeded the advice.

I stopped working out, started smoking again.

Stopped smoking, worked out...... stopped working out, started smoking...... endless cycle.

This is the first time this cycle has included weight gain.. when I was a smoker at the end of 2015, I was 175-180 range. so Im adjusting and trying to find the right foods, the right portion size...etc. Things I never needed to worry about. I think if I cut sodas Id be back to "fighting weight"

I will accept getting older.... but I will not accept being outside of the 10-15% body fat range. I cant do anything about my age......... I can about my weight by eating better, now that I know I need to and working out with cardio.

Im sorry to hear about being a diabetic, but good job on losing the 30 pounds.

Being diabetic is not a big deal, it does slowly kill you I guess but it basically just means you don't burn sugar.

Oh I know. Im the reverse. Im hypoglycemic. Its not the end of the world, but not ideal either.

Lol, I don't know if your'e being sarcastic or not. But the weight gain was surprising. And the little fat I gained is kind of scary. Still, I've gained a lot of muscle too.

I guess I might not be quite the ecto-morph I thought I was.

No, I was being serious. Growing up I had a best friend (who is now a snitch and recorded me) who was real skinny and was always talking about trying to gain weight but could not. I know from him that some really want to gain weight. He was told to eat a gallon of ice cream everyday and he would gain weight but he never did.

Oh cool! I really like this version of the test... I just retook it and got ISFP. Makes sense though, because it seems like every other time I take it I switch between ISFJ and ISFP, lol. Anyway, I ended up with 75% introversion, 25% extroversion.

Eww.. I hate sweets for the most part. Usually even half a bowl of ice-cream will leave me feeling sick. That kind of diet cannot be healthy at all..

Depends how young he was. Perhaps I was like that during my younger days.

He was a snitch? Lol.

 

[James of Arc]

He was a snitch? Lol.

A few months back we seen each other on Facebook and started talking. We hooked up and met at a local Mexican restaurant and talked. I noticed he was talking about stuff he should not even know about and then later I learned he was snitching for an old lawyer of mine who is scared that he is going to get in trouble for representing me and the women lawyers of the area are making him harasses me or they will disbar him or something.

I had not seen him since I was 17 and after almost 30 years all he is is a snitch, no mater what that is all he will ever be to me, a low down dirty snake in the grass snitch. He had no reason to do so other than he is a low down snitch. There was 3 of use that was close as teenagers, me, him and some other guy. The some other guy and me proved ourselves on the streets but the snitch always went home at 5:30 to be with his mother. Me and the other guy did get into some trouble when growing up but we never snitched on each other, matter of fact my one friend did some snitching on somebody to get me out of trouble and I did not even know it until years later. I miss him because as I look back he always backed me up. Me and him were bros and we went out and achieved, the other is a mom sucking snitch and he thinks he is normal, he is not.

Just found that movie The Giver on Netflix. I must not remember the book from middle school very well, because the fictional society depicted in this film is quite frankly scary as hell.

"Oh no! My best friend is Odeya Rush and I feel funny every time I see her beautiful face and she does things like push her luxurious wavy hair back from her eyes! ... I am sorry, Family Unit! I said the word "beautiful"! I cannot think so selfishly like some wanton anarchist! I'm so ashamed of this attraction! Please don't expel me from this community, Elder! I'll never ask why we genetically engineer children and apologize profusely in unison by the hundreds over the slightest of verbal offenses ever again, I swear!"

 

[SarahsKnight]

.... And is the movie itself black and white? Or did this society somehow expel color itself away from creation because it was too evil by provoking differing human thought and perception? This is weird.
_____________

EDIT: I just learned that both the concept AND the spoken word of love is forbidden in this community. You are only allowed to say "I enjoy you" or "I am proud of your accomplishments" to someone, and even then only to those in your "family unit", I will wager. "Precision of language", they call it. Tell me, people who live in this society of "equality between men", what is it like to be so perfect, cold, and unfeeling as an isotropic network of solidified carbon atoms?

____________

SECOND EDIT: Also, infanticide just happened in this movie. If I were the main character, I would leave this society and never come back. I.E. run away, and maybe take Odeya Rush with me, ... after confronting my baby-murdering father and touch-forbidding Elder and punching them each squarely in the teeth.

I failed another one of my goals

Indefinitely, it will take a month to get back on track, but it is fixable. I am so angry at myself.....

I also realised through this, that I have lost my faith - I have gone off on such a tangent to find wisdom elsewhere that I have swept the floor from under my feet. I do not know what to do anymore.

 

[.Mikha'el.]

What is this goal you refer to?

Anyhow, don't be too hard on yourself. All you can do is pick yourself up and try again.

So many people repost strange articles on facebook without looking into their veracity. The majority of the time it's a scam or just completely made up for who knows what reason.

Another 59 cows dried off today... This time of year is SO boring. I never thought I'd find myself looking forward to the winter.

I wonder if there's such a thing as an introverted extrovert. Or an extroverted introvert. Or maybe a shy, introverted extrovert.

I believe I am an introverted extrovert. My test says I am an EXTP but I have no problems with being by myself and I am quiet shy at first.

I'm definitely an introextrovert! Yay we should have like a club or something. The Ambiverts club.

Yes I still love cats.
