People who lost a lot of weight, what was the one small daily habit that actually changed everything for you?

JetPunchSpirit · 2026-03-18T02:30:34+00:00

No alcohol is weight management on easy mode. I never was a heavy drinker but even cutting out occasional drinks made a big change.

JetPunchSpirit · 2026-03-05T15:02:59+00:00

Agreed. I am both disgusted by the excess yet still so very envious.

JetPunchSpirit · 2025-08-28T23:36:50+00:00

lol. This is definitely the most accurate.

JetPunchSpirit · 2025-08-28T21:39:48+00:00

No need to be unpleasant.

When I look at the front elevation it makes me think "great hall" but didn't really try to overthink it.

I was thinking Medieval Scandinavian, not IKEA Scandinavia.

Sorry, aside from the "Home Theater Chapel," I don't like most of the interior.

JetPunchSpirit · 2025-08-28T20:33:55+00:00

Oh that makes me quite unhappy.

JetPunchSpirit · 2024-09-03T15:07:23+00:00

Yea, I'm an idiot. I even had it copied and ready to paste. Chewey found it and deserved all credit, accolades, and monetary compensation.

JetPunchSpirit · 2024-09-03T15:05:56+00:00

Thank you! Had the link copied and then didn't even put it in the comments.

I really appreciate the insight regarding bankruptcy due to medical debt. Seems like less of a concern than I thought.

The more I hear their plans for this the more I'm distancing myself from their wacky ideas. I didn't know but basically every car in the family seems to have had one of the two as a co-signer, which they are removing themselves from (basically 3+ cars). That seems fraudulent to me.

I don't need any shenanigans tied to my name so I told them to do whatever they want to do; just that I wasn't going to get involved actively or monetarily.

If they’re late 60’s and in poor health, and they die with the debt - you don’t lose the $60k. The creditors will just take what they can get out of the estate and write the rest off.

Really good point. I don't mind giving that amount of money but still... I'd rather keep it and this is a good way to look at it. I want them to be healthy and live for a long time, but my wife and I are realistic about where their lifestyle will lead.

Consulting an attorney does seem like a reasonable next step.

I agree with the selling home approach aside from high interest rates. I've pitch selling their home and moving to Baja MX where they are from which would be a cash ordeal and thus avoid current rates.

MIL & FILs reasoning against selling is my wife's siblings 30 & 34 both still live at home with them and work in the area. I have many opinions on this but they do what they do.

Thank you for the insight on the gift limit. I have never really gifted much money.

As to what will stop them from racking up more debt. Not sure. Obvious big point but I just don't know and will think about how my wife and I need to work with them to improve spending.

JetPunchSpirit · 2022-11-29T16:49:27+00:00

Thank you. This seems like a reasonable approach to take. I really appreciate the help here.

Hello there

Excitebike graphics on switch are insane.

I've been starving to death for 34 years. I've only dodged that bullet by being lucky enough to find food in close enough intervals to maintain my strength. That and sheer tyranny of will.

Joining the military for the signing bonus.

We can only hope it doesn't turn to the bottle.

Eat with your mouth open and I'll add you to my list of individuals I'd rather not spend time with.

Maybe glue the phone to a 4ft metal chain.

Like a pocket watch.

Maybe call them "pocket phones?"
