Not just happier but having a better quality of life and life expectancy.

Disclaimer: I am not referring to the 5% of individuals that have genetic issues that prevent them from losing weight.

I’ve lost nearly 50 pounds in the last few months. I don’t say this to brag but I say this because at times it was fucking miserable. It’s hard to be in a constant calorie deficit and doing a lot of cardio at the same time. It’s hard giving up the snacks and foods that you love. It’s hard when you use food for comfort and have to turn to something else.

That said, the satisfaction of knowing that I put in the work, I suffered on the stairmaster on a daily basis, and I gave up my favourite evening snack (a Smarties McFlurry with light caramel drizzle) made the accomplishment of this weight loss extremely meaningful. Of course, no one *likes* doing these things but if you accept that change is necessary, then why not put in the work for that change?

When you go on Ozempic, you don’t have to build good habits. You don’t have to exercise, which is good for you. You don’t have to learn how to say no to yourself because all have to do is take this magical drug that makes you forget about eating.

We shouldn’t be celebrating people taking shortcuts to do something that they should be doing anyways.

Edit: this post is proof that this subreddit has long since served its purpose. Everybody disagrees with me and yet no one is upvoting it.

For some reason I just remembered how Amare Stoudemire and LeBron went to Hakeem to learn their post game. If I recall correctly Kobe and even Dwight did it too.

Is this kind of stuff still happening?

Need a no frills, affordable option to repair some torn jeans. Thanks in advance.

Disclosure: yes, I do wash my ass in the shower. I also have a bidet and hate using it.

Reasons:

1. After using a bidet, you need to use TP anyways

2. Bidets make no difference as to making your ass cleaner. It just feels that way but doesn’t actually do so

3. Bidets can be tricky to install

4. If you have a big wagon like I do, you have to move it around to find the optimal spot. The time you use to do that can be just used to wipe.

5. the sensation of the cold water hitting your balloon knot is one of the worst sensations that a human being can possibly feel.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
