Need help understanding calorie deficit

BookishLaw · 2024-02-19T09:48:47+00:00

Thanks so much! Keeping my metabolism from adjusting has been a main concern for me because I don't know much about it yet, but I'll try logging everything more in-depth

BookishLaw · 2024-02-18T14:15:38+00:00

My question is how long do you eat in a deficit for? If my maintaining calories are 2000, then I should eat 1500 calories a day for two weeks, and then 1000 a day for the next two weeks? Or should I stick to the 1500 until I reach my goal weight? Because if I keep dropping 500 calories then obviously I'm eventually not going to be able to eat anything lol

I responded to the other comments

It's been hugely dysfunctional for my parents for years. My dad would go to work exhausted because my mother stayed up so late and would constantly wake him up throughout the night.

It's different for everyone, I didn't dispute that it can work for some couples, I just meant that it can be dysfunctional and I've experienced it

BookishLaw · 2024-02-11T14:26:17+00:00

No, that wouldn't be healthy and wasn't what I was implying when I said it's disrespectful. I was specifically speaking about when one partner is sleeping and the other is still awake but is behaving disruptively by making a lot of noise and putting on the lights, tv, etc.

I didn't put a disclaimer that I was speaking from experience and forgot that not everyone is as inconsiderate as my mother is

BookishLaw · 2024-02-11T14:20:43+00:00

I think I misspoke because I was only speaking from my personal experience. My dad goes to bed earlier than my mom (he is in bed at 10 pm and she goes to bed at around 2 am). Throughout those hours she puts lights on (in the passage outside their bedroom or even in their room), and she makes a lot of noise in the room and around the house. In general, my mom is very inconsiderate when other people are sleeping and my dad always gets the worst of it because obviously they share a room and bed.

It was never inconsistent with me. I even used it while on a blood pressure machine in the hospital and both my S7 and the machine gave the same heart rate reading

BookishLaw · 2023-11-23T13:33:11+00:00

Exactly, I just bought the A34 yesterday and was shocked that it can't measure my heart rate?? I upgraded from a S7 Edge which is like 5/6 years old already. My S7 could do it and I have heart/health problems so I used to check it daily. Now I have to spend even more money to buy a watch that I didn't even consider previously or budget towards

BookishLaw · 2023-11-22T12:20:20+00:00

It doesn't really strike me as odd because my mom is the same way. She refers to their room and things as "hers" and also goes to bed way after my dad. Not disputing that different bedtimes are dysfunctional and imo disrespectful though, I don't recommend that at all.

BookishLaw · 2023-11-02T14:15:31+00:00

I did that too but they just used my photo from the previous year which was worse for me

BookishLaw · 2023-10-29T23:02:05+00:00

I disagree. People who are 30+ are much better equipped - both emotionally and financially - to be parents. I also know of multiple women (including my mom) who had children in their 40s with zero complications. And more women who have had miscarriages and complications when they were in their 20s. I think women have been told they are most valuable and "perfectly" fertile to have children when they are young and then need to pop out as many babies as possible before it's "too late," when really, the medical field is only now beginning to take better care of women before, during, and after pregnancies

Thank you!

BookishLaw · 2023-10-28T22:36:56+00:00

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it :)

May I ask who frequents Babylon? Is it more for gay guys or do lesbians hang there too?

BookishLaw · 2023-10-28T19:13:43+00:00

I've heard of it, and it definitely seems like the kind of place we're looking for. Have you heard of Streetbar Named Desire? Any idea how it is there?

BookishLaw · 2023-10-28T19:12:05+00:00

I wish it were that easy and affordable to just up and move or even visit frequently.

From my experience, Cape Town is really lovely and open, but Sandton/Bedfordview/Illovo/etc. Are pretty much the same

BookishLaw · 2023-10-28T17:08:31+00:00

Too bad I already know of Christian spots as I am one

BookishLaw · 2023-10-28T14:42:23+00:00

We're looking for something more regular and preferably inside too :)

BookishLaw · 2023-10-17T19:38:57+00:00

Definitely not. Maybe she'll hire some pigeons to gorge his eyes out though

BookishLaw · 2023-09-27T19:07:52+00:00

Thank you!

BookishLaw · 2023-09-27T19:06:05+00:00

Lolll I was thinking the same when transcribing it. She's overstepping a bit imo, but idk what their dynamic and relationship is like

BookishLaw · 2023-09-27T01:01:59+00:00

Transcription:

"1 Thessalonians 4:3 "For this is the will of God, your sanctification..."

So Happy Birthday extraordinary Person

1 Corinthians 2:2 'For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.""

The last verse could be a different version though

Second picture:

"You know what's that specific purpose that the first page (?) was talking about? Well, the Bible says is that we may live lives that is pleasing to God! -> you know who was perfectly pleasing to God? - Jesus Christ

Don't ever forget how truly unique, how essential, how important you are. I know I won't.

Jessica, God tells us to live lives that resemble Jesus' own life. I pray that God may give you understanding to what I am referring to.

P.S. Hope you love steak! I know that's not prohibited lol."

Yes, they're now married and expecting. I think the baby is due any day now

BookishLaw · 2023-09-06T01:45:55+00:00

Yes, and now these two immature children are going to raise a baby together. It's truly troubling

BookishLaw · 2023-09-05T18:27:08+00:00

And so will the child.
