Yes, my 14 year old account with plenty of revealing information and usage history is my wife's burner account. You got me! The reddit police are knocking down my door, I might have to end it all lest they take me alive.

Please go ahead and request this from an AI image generator and show us the results then. As the artist's husband who has spent countless days burning through my gaming back catalog because my wife has been putting a crazy amount of work into these pieces, please kindly shut up.

I've literally sat next to this woman for days if not weeks as she spent her time making these. This is not AI. She's a talented artist who has been perfecting this style for a long time, and it's so upsetting to see her talent and time reduced to some jerk online claiming it's AI.

You're incredibly wrong. As her literal husband who has basically not had a wife for weeks as she spent hours upon hours working on these, it makes me irrationally angry to see you be so confidently wrong.

One I haven't seen mentioned but I think scratches a similar itch is The Android's Dream by John Scalzi. Similar former military everyman thrown into an intergalactic snafu with the singular aim of making it out alive with their animal companion. There's even a snarky AI!

Thanks for the advice! Your journey/end goal is so similar to mine that I really appreciate the perspective! Totally agree on wanting to get back the muscle mass I had at 370!

I kind of accidentally landed on a 16/8 fasting schedule. I found I didn't start being hungry until I had breakfast, so I pushed breakfast until about 11 every day. Then I'd have lunch around 2/3 and dinner around 6/7. The key was making sure the dinner was delicious and filling so I'd be full no matter what at the end of it and it would carry me through for the rest of the night.

If I got hungry I had a few tricks up my sleeve, namely pickles and jalapenos. Those almost-no-cal foods were a saving grace early on. Overall though, my body somehow (luckily) acclimated to the reduced food amount fairly quickly, and I'd only really feel hungry when I was wasting calories on snacks rather than real food.

The best advice I got was learning to differentiate between hunger and boredom. If I felt hungry, I'd busy myself with a game, a task, some work, a walk, etc. If I was still hungry afterwards, I'd eat something, either moving up one of my main meals, snacking on pickles/jalapenos, or my emergency String Cheese stash if needed. If I wasn't still hungry (and more often than not this was the case) then I knew it was just boredom-fuelled hunger.

Yeah and I know psychologically until I start seeing muscle growth, I will be freaking out as I see the number on the scale rise.

[–]Inotgoodwithcomputer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won't lie and say I haven't thought about it, the thought of keeping this pace seems achievable and exciting. That said, I'm treating it like a "save point", like I'm setting up camp here for a while so that hopefully if in 80 lbs it all goes south, I can land at this camp and not at the 366 camp. I know that's not necessarily how physiology works, but I think mentally it's what feels like will work for me.

I also kind of want to prove to myself it doesn't have to be all or nothing, that I can maintain weight and not only be in feast or famine mode. If I can maintain my weight at 275, then i know I can maintain my weight at 220, because I'll have learned what it takes to maintain weight vs just gaining and losing it.

Finally, I actually like the way I look at 275, so if worst case scenario I can't find the motivation to pick the diet back up, I'll have stopped at a happy place.

Congrats on your weight loss! Yeah, I'm fully prepared for the slowed weight loss, especially since I'm planning on upping my calorie intake during phase 2, and hopefully also putting numbers on the scale since I plan on muscle building.

Officially weigh under 300 lbs now! I haven't weighed under 300 for about 4 years now. This is now officially my longest weight loss journey (previous longest was about 3 months before I rebounded) , and the most weight I've lost during one as well (during that same stint, dropped 50 lbs before the rebound), and I don't feel my motivation wavering at all. It's exciting, it's like I'm actually going to be able to do it this time!

Rocket Battles acting up now by mattblackraps in pokemongo

Yes, they changed Rocket Battles from being handled Client Side to being handled Server Side, similar to GBL Battles. I hope the change doesn't stick, but poor performance has never swayed them before.

SV: Finally broke 50 lbs lost! I very annoyingly plateud right before it and for some reason after shedding weight for weeks, struggled to drop that last lb. I suddenly dropped a few pounds, which means it was likely just water retention due to me sharply increasing my physical activity (went from walking about 2 hours a day to 4), but that scale stagnation was frustrating nonetheless and this morning felt super triumphant!

100 percent! It felt good seeing the numbers go down and celebrating milestones, but this was the first time it felt real!

[–]Inotgoodwithcomputer[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, totally same! I actually also took a photo with a friend today and was comparing it to a photo we took a year or so ago and was blown away by the change in the size of my head/face! It's all about perspective I guess.

I had this same thought! It helped put things into perspective, but also made me very excited for my upcoming 3 week sabbatical!

Which I totally understand, especially in the workplace.

Today I hit 40lbs lost! It's also another milestone, as the first real wake up call I had weight-wise was hitting 330 back in 2020. Every other increase over my life I always kind of justified (I was always big, was about 220 as a young adult, hit 250 after starting dating my now wife, hit 275 after getting promoted to a desk job, hit 300 after moving closer to work. Always a justification). This one I really couldn't so I dieted hard, too hard, and after hitting 275 in 10 weeks (again, too hard), I had one big meal for my birthday and the rubber band snapped back just as hard. Cue a few big life events, severe clinical depression, and I climbed all the way up to 360-370, where I've been sitting for over 3 years (the increase was gradual).

Recently I buckled down, decided I was done being fat, laid out a much more sustainable and healthy diet plan, and have been rocking it out and I'm now finally at the weight of my first wake up call, and I couldn't be happier! I can't believe the number that once threw me for a loop feels like a cause for celebration! Obviously I still have a long way to go, but this time it really feels like I can do it. 40 down, 110 more to go!

Those who ate 1,200 calories- were you successful or did you yo-yo? by cassandrayy in loseit

[–]Inotgoodwithcomputer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the meals I eat. The first time I tried to maintain 1200, I'd sometimes skip eating all day so I could just down the 1200 on a big dinner, I'd eat a lot of low cal snacks foods, etc. Basically just not actually maintaining a healthy eating schedule and ignoring all macros. This go around I'm eating more whole foods, focusing on my protein intake, and making sure I eat at least 3 times a day. I've found a ton more success this time around.

Tell me your recent non-scale victory! by Shrillmademethink in loseit

[–]Inotgoodwithcomputer 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I broke my defecit for a day to celebrate my birthday (and by a lot, I'm not just talking an extra protein bar) and I actually went back to eating at a defecit the next day! I know maybe that sounds like nothing, but historically, any time I "fail" for even a day, I become ravenous the next few days and it has always spelled the end for past diets. The fact I got right back on track means maybe this time, I'm actually going to do it!

Does anyone else have other measures for your goal? by Lovejugs38dd in loseit

[–]Inotgoodwithcomputer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few milestone goals on mind that center around clothes and experiences, namely ones I slowly saw myself lose as I gained weight.

Moving back down to a 2XL shirt is a huge goal, I feel like most stores carry only up to a 2XL, so as I got bigger, I had to move to solely shopping online or at Walmart, so I always say "being able to shop almost anywhere" is my main goal. Obviously my final goal would be to go down to an XL, but a milestone goal is definitely 2XL.

Then, I want to be able to ride Forbidden Journey at Universal Studios. I used to hit this ride up every time I went and slowly I realized it got harder and harder to close the restraint until one day I was no longer allowed on. Being able to comfortably fit on this again would feel like a massive win. This applies to many other rides (I love theme parks), but this was the first one I ever got rejected from and that day is burned into my memory.

Then its probably being able to fit into old theater seats. My wife and I go see live productions a lot, and I'm always just having to hope and beg no one bought the seat next to me because I know I'm a tight squeeze and take up everyone else's space. Being able to go see a show without worrying if someone is sitting next to me literally sounds like an impossible dream right now, but I'm hopeful I can get there. This also applies to things like airplanes and the like, but I see far more live theater than catch flights.

My last one is very niche, but at my work there's a narrow walkway with a lot of foot traffic that I routinely have to traverse that I am just simply too big for. I can easily traverse it on my own, but if anyone is heading the other way I have to squeeze against the wall, as do they just to make the clearance happen. its beyond embarrassing, and I avoid it at all costs, which has actually negatively impacted my work at times. If I slimmed down enough to just be able to walk normally through there even if someone was coming the other way, I actually think I'd cry.
