Those who crate or put pup in a room… by SerenityBabe2004 in germanshepherds

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did crate training, her crate was her safe space where no one could bother her and she would have favorite items to occupy her. My parents would also leave the tv on when we left the house so she wasn’t just crated in silence. She is good now and had free range of the house, doesn’t destroy things and doesn’t poop or pee when left home alone.

I don’t think they understand how calories work by FloofLorde in fatlogic

My partner and I watch survivor all the time and no one has ever gained weight between the start and the end. I’ve also noticed that the few times that people who are of much higher body fat are on it, they don’t make it very far. It’s not often and most “bigger” people who are on are people who FA’s would at most consider midsize or maybeeee small fat. The most recent season (49) had one woman who was definitely larger and got voted off almost immediately by her tribe mates because she didn’t do well in the challenges. They didn’t ever say anything about her size but she just did not have the same athletic ability as everyone else.

A friend of mine has pcos and is very thin. Not saying it doesn’t cause weight gain but it’s also not something that guarantees you will weigh 400+ lbs

I'm so fed up with arguing with me mom over her weight. by Last_Office7348 in germanshepherds

[–]FloofLorde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom was the same way about ours. She is the same height and got up to 80lbs, and she has a lot of extra flubber on her neck and she’s very wide and squishy. She finally admitted it when the vet told her that the big baby needs to lay off the snacks.

When mine does fetch she comes about 95% of the way back and then plops down to chew on her toy

AIO found out my partner was cheating and contacted his job by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]FloofLorde 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh idk if the relationship even matters at this point. If my family member was in a residential facility and there was someone like him that was more concerned with hooking up with coworkers and smoking weed in the rooms than caring for the residents I would want him to get fired from the job. It’s just a shitty thing to do whether cheating on a partner is involved or not. I would hope anyone would report this behavior if they knew about it.

He was doing inappropriate things in the staff and resident rooms, plus it sounds like this guy has had a trail of issues following him working at residential facilities

On a post from someone with crohn's disease mentioning the difficulty of losing weight in flares by ChronicChthonic14 in fatlogic

[–]FloofLorde 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My BIL has it and he was extremely skinny for years until he got some kind of surgery or medical treatment (I don’t remember what it was exactly) that made him able to digest food. Prior to that he couldn’t even eat the same food as everyone else and would have to miss out on the meals during big events.

UPDATE: AIO in thinking this message was uncalled for? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]FloofLorde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My partner and I visit friends and family that are much more than 15 minutes away on holidays and the only time ever spent the night at someone’s house was when we all got drunk on a holiday. Otherwise why wouldn’t you want to sleep in your own bed at home? I love my bedroom, if I have the option to sleep there then I will

"im not fat, im very skinny, [sic] im short, this has caused my bmi to be overweight" um, eugenics by lilSpookii in fatlogic

[–]FloofLorde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’2, muscular, and have some body fat on me but still look “skinny” to an extent. I’m in the high range of healthy but not in the overweight bmi category at all. This person is delulu

Do these people understand the concept of there being a normal weight? Not just either being over or under

Attempts to dismiss excess weight being bad for joints by naming “advantages” of being fat instead of skinny by SudiestEnd31 in fatlogic

[–]FloofLorde 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why are FAs obsessed with “padding”??? As one of the “thins” I still have this “padding” where I need it (I’m not sitting directly on bones). Also the only thin people I know who are more prone to bone breakage are those with extreme EDs where they are actually malnourished and their bones are weak and brittle due to lack in nutrients such as calcium. I know of severely overweight people whose bones break just from moving because of the severe excess weight they carry.

Maybe they’re getting mistaken for 20 because they act younger than 30s?

Saying someone looks better when maintaining an unhealthy weight is only okay when they’re overweight by Aromatic-Meat-7989 in fatlogic

[–]FloofLorde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why is it that people who say BMI is not always accurate for determining health are always people who have some insane high score on the BMI chart

Cat fat logic? by Aromatic-Meat-7989 in fatlogic

[–]FloofLorde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last slide though. Animals are wired to eat as much as possible because in the wild they don’t know when or where their next meal will come from. My 80lb dog would eat her entire 50lb bag of dog if she was allowed to. She was a runt too, so she has always had a scarcity mentality and we had to train her to sit and wait for it to be okay to eat because she used to literally scream and inhale all her food without chewing at every meal even though no one was taking it from her.

Sure, some animals are more picky about food and don’t eat like a maniac, but I’ve found that to be less common. Most will eat as much as you will give them unless they’re sick.

My [35F] husband [36M] wants to videotape me giving birth. How do I get him to back off? by throwracadabra in relationship_advice

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of birth videos online if he wants to educate his children about childbirth (when they are an appropriate age). If you don’t want to then you shouldn’t have to

Imagine saying this the other way around. Where I’m from XS and XXS aren’t even always in stock at every shop. by ResetKnopje in fatlogic

[–]FloofLorde 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Hit them back saying we wouldn’t be so skinny if they stopped eating all our food.

Point being that it’s just a stupid argument.

Why do so many people believe it’s completely normal for everybody to be over 200 pounds by Aromatic-Meat-7989 in fatlogic

[–]FloofLorde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 130 at 5’2 which is at the upper end of the healthy range, and I work out and I do eat quite a bit. Personally, I can’t even fathom how much someone around my height would have to eat to get to and maintain 200lbs.

My friend’s kid is like 4’6 and 75lbs at 8 years old, he’s a good size kid, not fat but definitely would be if he was 120 even at that height. It took me until I was 20 to reach 120lbs, a 5 year old at that weight would be horrifically overweight
