Also screw Colorado, stop being better than America
I have historically always weighed less than 130lbs as an :amerikkka: man -- cannot wait until I am classified as a cryptid in 2035 for being the last skinny boi in the continental US
Observe: the common American twink, he is criticly endagered, perhaps the last of its kind
Their natural habitat is being destroyed by fast food restaurants and cheap unhealthy food :(
I like that the organization is called 'choices'
Maybe it isn't everyone's individual fault that our food is making us obese
Colorado is cheating. A shitload of athletes move to cities like Boulder so that they can train at high altitude and level up their red blood cells. It's also a mecca for climbing and outdoor sports in general while the hiking is some of the best in the country.
the US olympic committee put methamphetamines in the water supply across the state to facilitate low-dose performance increase with the deniability of the whole watersupply containing the same 'backround' compounds :theory-gary:
my dream cross country trip is to go there just to hike. tired of my baby mountains and hills.
Rocky Mountain National Park especially is such a cathedral to nature that I had to move to within daytrip distance. I've had morning coffee and/or psilocybin at all of these Glacier Gorge lakes surrounded by animals and wildflowers. While I have yet to go elsewhere in the state, the front range has some magical places.
They have sand dunes you can hike too, the remnants of an ancient lake. Colorado has cool fucking geography.
never seen a sand dune outside of a beach. one day whenever i have actual $ and time I'm taking an RV out there to stay for a month
Go to Crestone if you do. Its the closest city to the dunes and very nice to visit. Super small, but it has 2 of the biggest mountains in the country lurking above. Good luck w your travels!
The ones in North Park by Walden have shark teeth in them. Pacific storms blow them all the way to the Rockies.
I mean, yeah, you're not at all wrong.
I wasn't about to agree with someone saying it in bad faith, though.
It's very easy to take an interpretation that's essentially in line with this graph - that alienation leads to obesity and its associated issues.
Why are you invalidating my feelings? I'm triggered, are you defending fatphobia?
Fucking fr, what year do they think it is when they're using "triggered"?
Why are you calling me something I'm not? I'm highly offended and you are invalidating my feelings.
Why are you such a wrecker? Fuck off out of here
stress also causes weight gain, and life is fucking stressful under capitalism and needing a life of excess
I became obese between my last semester of uni and before I found my current job(gained 70 pounds in 5 months). I was working towards losing weight but recently I was gifted 16 traffic summonses by my own town's police department in one traffic stop which is fucking me up.
im currently awaiting my court date (preparing to pay 2k to my local parasitic leech government) and am eating myself to death in the process.
yes indeed, death to america :amerikkka:
High stakes tickets are the most stressful shit in the world. I feel you, fuck the cops, fuck the courts.
Dude kohl’s get the most petty ass customers I stg. i routinely see some old white asshole throwing a fit.
The way that you wrote it legit sounds like a fat fetish story., I'm just like... putting it out there, kinda sus
I was just drawing a comparison, I honestly dont even remember what your comment was about rbh

I'll just leave this here for ya.
It's the venom and the hate in the way you say it and, at a certain point, a pattern of behavior. If you need to bitch about people's boddies to make your ego feel better you do you, but those people aren't seeing it. Your comrades are.
Keep it up. I'll keep using it as an example of bad behavior for others. :shrug-outta-hecks: Who knows, maybe one day you'll some healthy reflection about the way you body shame. I know I did.
depressed and fat because of it but also depressed because you're fat gang gang :desolate:
Can never assume circumstance, but stay strong! And if you can manage, the important thing is prioritizing movement and limiting calories that don't make you as happy as others. Also probably good to look into macros, but not necessary for losing weight.
As someone who has been to borderline obese and has mainly fluctuated between "in good shape" and "a little out of shape" ever since, I can tell you that life for sure improves once you start working on it with patience.
Though be warned, years/decades spent fat will seriously fuck with your mental health long term and you WILL likely need therapy to move on from the many walls built emotionally.
Fuck this country and normalizing kids being overweight. Also, the disgusting amount of misdirection on diet growing up in the midwest is disgusting.
amphetamine overprescription was an ad-hoc CIA op to avert this eventuality whilst the USSR was still kicking :very-smart:
they've been slacking off since tho
I honestly don't even know where you'd begin teaching Americans to not get fat. I mean, teaching kids about calories in schools would probably help, but it's impossible when almost every social activity Americans get involves horribly unhealthy food.
Teaching calories isn't gonna stop anyone getting fat.
You have to go to the source - and that's the food companies are allowed to sell and the marketing they're allowed to use to sell it.
This. Food this made to feed people it's made to make profit. Ofcourse they provide all kinds of addictive shit
its not even all a teaching thing, Americans are just depressed as shit, and...
Dieting literally, literally does not work - it so rarely works it's basically not even a thing. It sounds exactly like it would work but it doesn't, it just kicks your body into starvation mode, and your brain stem can actually just warp your cognition into eating more food. People hardly lose anything and then gain it back and often worse. Also when you're depressed you can't do a lot of work, and in America, the shit food is the only easy food.
One time I was depressed but I didn't have a car and I had to bike 3 miles and strap groceries to my bike with my two belts I owned. Eating was such a chore, that I lost like 60 pounds and it felt like shit. I was starting to get a bit bony and old ladies were frowning at me. Now covid hit and i gained a shitload of weight in quarantine
Doctors are starting to see gastric bypasses as just, the medicine people need for a condition, instead of giving out medical advice that does fucking nothing
"We found that the majority of people regained all the weight, plus more. Sustained weight loss was found only in a small minority of participants, while complete weight regain was found in the majority. Diets do not lead to sustained weight loss or health benefits for the majority of people.”
Mann and her co-authors conducted the most comprehensive and rigorous analysis of diet studies, analyzing 31 long-term studies.
“What happens to people on diets in the long run?” Mann asked. “Would they have been better off to not go on a diet at all? We decided to dig up and analyze every study that followed people on diets for two to five years. We concluded most of them would have been better off not going on the diet at all. Their weight would be pretty much the same, and their bodies would not suffer the wear and tear from losing weight and gaining it all back.”

For a human body, losing weight is about as easy, physiologically but not mentally, as deliberately committing suicide from starvation. Individually obviously people get skinny from eating less shit, but it's about as likely to trigger weight gain, and doctors saying "ok go diet lol" has done more harm than good.
Yes eating less things can make you skinny. But most of the time, trying literally does nothing or makes it worse. That's what I'm posting about
Until the US has socialized gastric bypass surgery there is absolutely zero chance of ending the extremely high rate of obesity
Dieting literally, literally does not work
yeah it's like the doctors say right? It has to be a permanent "lifestyle change." A lot of people just want to juice/salad cleanse for a month and loose 40lbs so they can go back to the TGI Friday's all-you-can-eat butterbeef brisket without feeling bad. I get it, people like their slop, but all these diet fads surely are just pissing in the wind compared to the mountains of processed shit Americans eat and the massive marketing campaign to make them eat even more.
I've dieted and lost 30 pounds, it works. The trick is that you're not training your body to eat less. You're training your body to be ok with being hungry more. Doing that requires filling your time with more productive things, which absolutely means when you have a depressive lapse you'll put some weight back on. Thats honestly more why you need excercise with it than the calories excercise burns, cause the endorphins itll produce will replace a lot of the ones eating 5000 calories a day would give you.
Yeah I didn't mention it but I read somewhere that the obese people who DO lose weight by dieting often end up with worse health stats
It's a mixture of depression and just work exhaustion for me.
I work 7-4
babysittingteaching little shits. I get home and I'm just fucking tired. I don't want to cook because cooking = time = dishes = more time to clean = more time to get groceries = etcIt's so much easier to stop at some shitty fast food joint. I'm trying to cook at home more but I just want to go home and do nothing you know?
Thankfully I get enough exercise to not be severely overweight but it would save me money to cook at home
Does dieting mean stuff like keto and Atkins, or does it mean tracking CICO?
I only ask because ive successfully manipulated my weight with CICO, and it feels sustainable.
The entire design of U.S. cities and the economy that the U.S. is based on is completely antithetical to a healthy lifestyle. "Choice" can help, but only a complete overhaul of the country can stop this trend. Not to mention the low quality food in the U.S.
Wait, do you hear that? What’s the sound?
It’s the sound of me being ahead of the curve! Fuck yeah! :crying-wojak-with-happy-mask:
Today I weighed in at 239lbs. I have lost, from my highest weigh-in, 121lbs.
Congrats! I'm struggling to lose the 15 pounds I put on over COVID and I dont have the money for new clothes
