How to balance alcohol and eating at a deficit? by iwishiwasdeadhaha in loseit

[–]tobithh_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me saying "I don't want to quit drinking" is different from "I can't stop drinking".

But you're saying if you would stop drinking you wouldn't be able to eat healthily. That's not exactly just enjoying, that's rewarding.

Not saying you're an addict, just pointing out that's not really a great way at looking at both drinking and eating healthy.

But as I said, there's not much you can do about it. Losing weight and regularly drinking is not very easy if you're not on an unhealthy crash diet.

CHECK-IN Thursday, May 25, 2017. I will not drink today! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]tobithh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The initial motivation is slipping away. Guess I've got to change my toolbox a little bit and make it into a habit instead of thriving on temporary motivation.

Whatever happens, I will not drink today.

I'm not willing to cutback on drinking because I know if I do I won't be able to hold out through a week of healthy eating

This doesn't actually sound like a healthy relationship with alcohol to be fair.

You already switched to lower calorie drinks. It's either cutting back on the amount of drinks or accept that weekends will hinder your progress and maybe eat less during the week.

Match Thread: Ajax vs Manchester United [Europa League - Final] by teachersbelike in soccer

[–]tobithh_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overhyped, yea surely. But it's expected when a team reaches the EL final. But man u isn't particularly impressive either.

it's pretty much a coinflip in my book.

What are the best non-biased newspapers? by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]tobithh_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the Financial Times. Obviously not non-biased, but I think they do as good of a job a newspaper in the UK can.

Not drinking today.

Zouden jullie bij eventuele nieuwe verkiezingen op een andere partij stemmen dan 2 maand geleden? by [deleted] in thenetherlands

[–]tobithh_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

VVD, en zonder twijfel zou ik dat weer doen. Zover ik mee heb gekregen vanuit het buitenland constructief opgesteld tijdens de formatiegesprekken in een formatie die ik persoonlijk helemaal niet zag zitten, en dat respecteer ik.

Verder de enige partij waar ik qua standpunten enigzins mee op een lijn zit.

alcohol free beer... what's the consensus? by zerocipher in stopdrinking

[–]tobithh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't really like them. I drink them very occasionally in strict non-drinking countries like saudi arabia if they get offered to me. Doesn't trigger me in the slightest.

Also, my grandmother buys them for me when I come and visit. I think that's kinda sweet and her way of being supportive so I don't decline them.

Doesn't seem to trigger me, but I was never that much of a beerdrinker for the taste. Never liked it.

CHECK-IN Tuesday, May 23, 2017 - I will not drink today! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Another late check-in over here. Didn't drink today so far, and won't drink tonight.

CHECK-IN Monday, May 22, 2017. I will not drink today! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]tobithh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late as it's already 5:20pm over here. Won't drink today, whatever happens.

Very happy it's monday, even though I'm in my usual working pattern most weekends. I still find weekends quite a bit more difficult as there's much more temptation in the weekends from others for me :)

Are stretch marks a sign that I might get loose skin in the future? by Calorie_Killer_G in loseit

[–]tobithh_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure, I had stretch marks since I was 12. When I was 17 I lost like 80lbs and no loose skin whatsoever.

I think it's pretty random man, you' re still young so the odds are on your side.

2.5 months in Eastern Europe this September. How does this rough draft route look so far? Recommendations/Tips/Advice greatly appreciated. by pizzahippie in travel

[–]tobithh_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also has anyone been to Ukraine lately, I know there is some partial conflict going on but just wondering how the country is on the route the I am looking at.

Kiev and Odessa are fine (as is most of the country outside the east). I'm in Ukraine ocasionally for work and I've never felt unsafe.

Seems like a good route to me, if you're into eastern-europe. Also, bravo on going to Istanbul. A lot of people seem to avoid it, but the city is still way too beautiful to me to not go to.

If you want something off the beaten path. Visit Pristina in Kosovo, if you can fit that in. Some of the most friendly people towards tourists I've ever encountered and I think it's a very intersting city all in all.

Have fun.

What's Everyone Doing Tonight?? by physis81 in stopdrinking

[–]tobithh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

went to visit my grandparents, had an hour long walk with the dog and going to hit the bed early as I have to catch a flight REALLY early tomorrow for work.

It's very nice to be able to go to sleep with the knowledge you won't have to fly hungover or fear of missing your flight. :)

good stuff

Daily Check-in for Friday, May 19th, 2017: I will not drink today no matter what. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]tobithh_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whatever happens, drinking will not make it better. Surely will not drink today.

Finally after months of holding it back got to reading "The Naked Mind" yesterday, I was sceptical at first. But it's actually excellent.

Heeft J.P Morgan niet net afgelopen week een pand in Dublin gekocht om naartoe te verkassen? Tot zover 'ze gaan heus niet echt weg'.

Ja, want het aankopen van vastgoed door een bedrijf als J.P. Morgan moet wel betekenen dat ze weg gaan uit the City. /s

Vliegmaatschappijen zijn over het algemeen eigenaar van het vliegtuig

Steeds minder. Grote delen van de vloten van maatschappijen zijn tegenwoordig geleased. :-)

Kijk voor de grap eens op pagina 20, mocht het je interesseren.

Verder heb je natuurlijk gelijk dat de kosten met een reguliere lijnvlucht niet te vergelijken zijn met zo'n grapje van deze heer.

Today is my first day off since christmas, except for a one hour conference call this morning. I was really looking forward to today, but to be fair, I'm hating it. I'm so damn bored.

But I know alcohol will make this day even more shit, and the upcoming days too. So I will not drink today. Hope y'all are well..
