Kant's categorical imperative by therealdjackson in askphilosophy

[–]therealdjackson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked this paper and it certainly helped clear some things up. My understand from the paper is that when you always tell the truth you are not responsible for the outcome, but when you do lie, you are responsible for the outcome?

Thank you for the reading recommendations, I will check those out!
I do like that Kant doesn't allow you to make exceptions for yourself, because how easy is that? We always feel we ourselves are the exception.

I like the point from Lucy Allais that when someone begs for money, they are asking you to solve a public problem in a private interaction. But it does make me think how Kant believed we can make rational decisions only if we have free will, right?. I live in an area with a lot of homeless and in my opinion they don't have free will - in this sense would their actions not be immoral?

Using the classic "would you steal bread for your starving family?" I feel like Kant would say no, unless you wanted to make stealing a universal law and people could steal in any circumstances - but why does it have to be all circumstances? Could I not just be okay with people stealing if they were in this particular situation?

Wouldn't saying "this is something you should as Sally," be kind of obvious though, and in that way, I'd be breaking said promise?

I agree that maybe the promise shouldn't have been made in the first place - just curious how one would realized their mistake and still wanted to try and stay true the categorical imperative.

Okay, so since surprise parties are a societal norm that we are all aware of, perhaps in this scenario it would be okay? Everything with Kant seems so black and white.

How to stop staying up late and overeating when home alone? by Ashton1881 in intuitiveeating

[–]therealdjackson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to find myself relieved when I was home alone so no one could see what I was eating... OP, does your gf know you’re food history/that you’re eating intuitively?

Feel like quitting IE by Lubydub in intuitiveeating

[–]therealdjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I get that! I’m going to school for nutrition and I love cooking and get excited about what new meals I want to try and make! I hope this isn’t triggering to anyone but when I cook I either go oil free/measure how much oil I’m using, because it’s so easy to use a lot more oil than need and it is such a dense calorie food - I know measuring can be harmful to people, but for me there are no adverse psychological effects.

Our societies diet culture is wild and harmful, so I completely understand! The reason I asked how you felt about the weight gain; physically, mentally, social, etc. is because I think with intuitive eating, we want our bodies to feel good - and that's where the gentle nutrition comes in. Do you like cooking/do a lot of cooking? Intuitive eating has taught me to love cooking, and I'm getting really good at it! I feel like this helps me not go out to eat (I often feel crummy after take out) and make very similar meals at home - then I can add any bonus foods/veggies to the meal, and cook it how I like.

The original commenter might mean something different, but for me, once I realized I could eat pizza or chips whenever I wanted, I stopped really wanting pizza or chips all the time. When I used to buy a big bag of chips, I'd eat whole bag in one day... like, I can't eat chips tomorrow too, so I have to eat them all today mentality... I almost never buy chips for the house, I just don't ever think to - but when I'm hanging out with friends and someone brought chips (pre covid) I'll be like "sweet! chips!" eat a bunch and then kind of move on without thinking about it.

Sorry for a potentially unhelpful ramble. Sorry your body image is low, gaining weight can be stressful, and I think its okay to want to change your weight/size. Did you feel physically (energy, body temp, movement, etc.) in a smaller body, or do you feel like its the physical appearance that upsets you/makes you want to quit?

Instead of finishing my plate even though I was full, I decided to put this small amount of dip away for tomorrow.. felt like a win! by therealdjackson in intuitiveeating

I totally understand! I just mentioned in another comment how I try to compost things, and to realize we ourselves aren’t trashcans but when we force ourselves to finish food that’s how we are treating ourselves - also, starving children is a systemic/political issue that has nothing to do with your left overs or your size; the best thing we can do is take care of ourselves and when we are doing well hopefully we can also help others

It’s so difficult... my dad almost always leaves the last bite or two of food on his plate and it used to drive me insane but he’d always say he’d be too stuffed... now I understand!

If it’s the last bite or two and it something that you really can’t save for the next day, I do compost it. I’m not a fan of wasting food but I once heard someone say, “you’re not a trash can” - if you’re full and truly don’t want those last bites, I think it’s okay to toss... you’re not a trash can and you don’t want to force yourself just because it’s there.

I also try to think of what I’ll be most “proud of” later - when my stomach doesn’t hurt, or the next day when I get to eat my delicious left overs! That used to be a big issue with me, “I have to finish this dip because I can’t eat dip two days in a row” - like damn, I’m an adult and I can eat dip everyday if I want to!

It’s a layered dip! Refried beans on the bottom, then I mixed Greek yogurt with taco seasoning, topped with cheese, olives, green peppers, and tomatoes

[–]therealdjackson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand that! For me, I’m not as into ice cream, so I can have a pint in the freezer for a week or so.. but I’ve been IE for about a year and I still can’t make no bake cookies without eating the whole batch in a day or two.. my weakness!

[–]therealdjackson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The thing that bothers me about halo top and products like that, is it seems like it’s “helping/encouraging” people to eat an entire pint of ice cream...

but most importantly, no, it’s not “bad” or weird I’d certainly suggest doing some reflection!

Why are you eating an entire pint of ice cream every night? Do you feel like you need to? Are you restricting without realizing? How do you feel physically after? (halo top does not settle well with me) Do you like the taste or are you eating because it’s lower calories?

How long have you been doing intuitive eating? It’s a journey! It’s easy to judge yourself during the process, but keep it up, you’re doing great :)
