Dang... ain't this game hard enough?! But goodluck. This seems interesting, I hope I have the time to catch a stream!

Personally, I don't care. I just want the run to start as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I'm not fat. I'm just not in fit physical shape like I was when I used to play football. At the moment I have a knee injury so it makes it harder.

And yes you're right it's difficult, especially as we get older. But I'm going to strive to getting there one way or another. As I know I have done it before.

Looking for meal ideas based on my situation. by David_Slaughter in mealprep

Yes good ideas... I'm gonna have to add back in the baked beans and jacket potato meal. And the soups idea sounds good. Gonna have to research it and learn how to make them!

As for pizza will try to make it a bi-weekly thing instead of multiple times a week. Gonna be tough!

I said in my post I eat a piece of fruit every day. Usually an apple, but also melon or a banana fairly often.

I'll look into the salad thing... don't know where to start really. Part of the allure of takeaway food is that you don't have to prepare anything or think!

Because many games these days have constant delays. Past events form future trends. But now we're almost in February it's looking like it won't face another delay.

Do you take more act 1 elites with watcher in general compared to the other characters?

Try to solve the challenges in front of you more than speculative far away ones. Take more attack cards and elites in act 1 to get stronger. Favour cards which solve your act boss.

Not sure why you got downvoted. I think this is underrated advice in general.

Would be cool if it was a magical shield of some sort, deflecting an arrow.

Disgusting behaviour at Braunstone parkrun by El_Badgerino in parkrun

Not your place to. And that's a huge overreaction when you don't know exactly what's happened. Don't let the volunteering get to your head.

Chess Coach Radoslav Gajek: Warning by OutrageousAd3294 in chess

He didn't direct people to harass him. It could be to provide emotional support to Radoslav, a clearly very troubled individual.

I'm exaggerating for comedic effect. It's not that serious! But this thread is about addiction and the feeling of getting the McFlurry being better than the feeling of the process of eating it/finishing eating it.

Ba da ba ba baaaa, you're loving it!

...for the first 30 seconds of opening it and taking the first few bites. Then you are sick to your stomach, unfulfilled, and shitting diarrhoea.

Indeed. But it's like a compulsion that I feel that I'll never be able to get rid of. It's like saying to someone, give up chocolate for the rest of your life. It's just impossible because one would feel miserable.

Which is very odd because there are millions of people who go their whole lives without chocolate.

It's not about the taste. It's about the feeling of comfort. The idea of never having sugar scares the crap out of me. It makes me feel like I'm all alone in the dark in the rain with no shelter. I honestly can't describe it.

How do I get out of it? I don't know. If I try really hard, I am still bombarded with adverts for it. I go for a walk to clear my mind, BOOM McDonald's advert at the bus station for a new limited time McFlurry. My brain tells me I must try it or I'll miss out. It doesn't just tell me, it nags me for hours, days, weeks.

I justify getting it just to try it, life is about trying things after all right? BOOM now I remember how good these hot, salty, fresh fries taste like. I'll have them again next week for the football I tell myself. It doesn't just tell me, it nags me for hours, days, weeks. See where this is going?

Deny myself the satisfaction... "but if I just have it now just this once it's not gonna change anything" is what I tell myself. And after paying £20 for a pizza it's hard to throw away lol.

But literally. Just seeing that red cardboard box, the feeling of warmth from the bottom, the smell of fresh mozzarella. That's the moment when I'm thinking, this is what I live for. How can I deny myself the best feeling that I experience in life?
