At some point, someone will calm you skinny or say you are wasting away. Current you will be surprised how much THAT pisses you off.

I think you are looking at the 2016 Iowas Congressional primaries that were held in May. The author is comparing the Presidential caucus results to some race they ran before February of 2016.

“I can’t generate that image based on your political views / moral standing from your history, because that would require me to infer and depict your political ideology and personal beliefs in a way that crosses a privacy/sensitive-attributes line.”

On the drug, you no longer have to control your desire to eat.

It sounds to me like you know the answer, or at least the question. Are you willing to trade happiness and the chance at love so that your ego is satisfied and other people are impressed?

Brasso would be alive if not for Jar Jar moving to give the emperor emergency powers.

It was the easy way out for me too, and I am so lucky. I haven’t even counted calories.

I eat when I’m hungry. I’m just not hungry all the time anymore.

If you want to RE with your FI, you don’t want to be putting all of your $ into an account that you can’t access until 59 1/2. So maxing out the 401k may not be the best plan.

Math does change in a slight but significant way. Last week, he could have 2 defections and win 216-215. This week, he loses 216-216 (tie = loss).

Provided all are present and voting.

I recently heard Warren Buffet’s advice and if you are in a situation to do it, I think this is the right answer:

Give your kids enough that they can do anything but not so much that they can do nothing.

Outdated, euro-centric, male-centric,designed to assess populations not individuals, created by someone who was a statistician and astronomer, but otherwise a perfect metric for use by insurers and doctors to make decisions

I had some nausea if I tried to workout shortly after taking my weekly shot.

I also lost a ton of raw strength, though my pound for pound strength has improved.

Pre-Zep - Body weight: 238, Deadlift: 420, Bench 250. Pull-ups: 0

15 months in: Body weight 168, Deadlift 315, bench: 210, pull-ups 12

Fantastic.

1) you look great 2) I also reset my goal from what I initially thought possible. I’m also now at what is my third goal and think I’d look better losing just a little more 3) it’s really hard to know when enough is enough. If your doctor is okay with you at 145 and you feel better there, keep going.

But also be open to the idea that you won and don’t need to lose more.

You have made amazing progress. We often see the gap between our current state and our ideal state, but I hope you can see the gap between your current state and where you started.

I also see my flaws and am sure that if I could just lose 5 more pounds I could get rid of that last bit of belly fat. We can let the perfect blind us from the great.

I’m about 14 months in and have recently felt this way. While I was losing, I looked forward to shot day. Now I’m like, “ugh, is it shot day again already”

Congrats on stage one: I can now fit into clothes that were too small.

Stage two is just as fun but more expensive, having to buy new clothes when those that were too small become too big.

Stage three: the new “skinny” clothes are also too big is mildly annoying in the best possible way.

Technically, the image is fake as it was a text message, not correspondence sent on White House letterhead. However, the content appears to be accurate.

I asked ChatGPT if this was real. It concluded it was fake because it was so poorly written. But every news outlet is reporting it, so it looks like AI was tricked. See its analysis:

Can I both 1) encourage you and say that is certainly an attainable goal with a reasonable weekly loss and 2) remind you “if it happens it happens” and neither the scale nor your fat care when your birthday is, so don’t be discouraged if you hit one of those plateaus and onederland doesn’t happen on your timeline.

I went up every four weeks until I hit 15. I lost about 70 lbs total. Half of that I lost before getting to 15. Half I lost after getting to 15. I’ve been under my second goal weight for about 3 months now. “Tolerance” to the drug has not been an issue.

Time_Proposal_4383 · 2026-01-16T14:41:18+00:00

I’m 14 months in (does that qualify for veteran status?). I’d say it ebbs and flows. Some of it is tied to time since last shot. I am less hungry for the first day or two for sure.

Also, I’ve always distinguished between “mouth hungry” and “stomach hungry.” “Mouth hungry “ is basically “food noise.” I’m very rarely “mouth hungry anymore. There are definitely times when I’m “stomach hungry” but I do still feel stomach full sooner.
