My mother yelled at me 5 minutes ago for drinking whole milk.
My guy, Iām gonna need the context behind that because that is very weird.
I was raised on 2%, I bought whole milk because of GOMAD. I was drinking it, and mother yelled at me saying I wasnāt raised on whole milk and says it is unhealthy.
I advocate for respecting your parents.
But I respectfully disagree with your mother.

Lots of people who grew up in the 60s-70s (based on your age I assume your parents fit into this) believe that whole milk is bad for you because of the whole āfat is bad!ā stuff during those periods.
My mom āknowsā that whole milk is better because thatās what all the nutritionists and health people in the shows she watches says, BUT she still keeps buying non-whole milk.
Incidentally, this is actually why I no longer criticize people for having a hard time adapting to new ideas.

I think 2% is too sweet
Yep theyāre definitely like that because they always make comments about beef being bad because itās fatty. Arenāt only certain cuts of beef fatty though?
Compared to what?

I confess I am extremely jealous of people who can consume dairy without consequences
I also confess that Iāve noticed that the consistency of the output after consuming dairy matches the consistency of the product consumedā¦
I further confess that Iām doing leg extensions bc Iām too tired/lazy for lunges and that 6 sets of deadlifts took me close to 40min
It gets us all in time. I used to be fine with dairy, drank about 2L a day with no issues. My body has made it fairly clear that itās no longer willing to do that.

True for all animals. But beef (particularly grain fed) will tend to have more of those fats be saturated fats, which can be where the concern exists.
These days, with how awful the typical American diet is, if you told me that some dude was eating beef every single dayā¦and thatās it, Iād say that dude is doing just fine. Much better than a diet of poptarts, braekfast cereal, donuts, french fries, frozen pizza, etc etc. Could that dude be doing BETTER? Yeah, sure, but we demonize EVERYTHING these days and donāt really take a big picture perspective. Itās like getting lectured about eating a fast food cheeseburger by someone who smokes and drinks.

I think there is a definite line between expecting excellence (doing the best to your ability) / discipline and abuse.
I will expect my children to give their all and best to anything they commit to do. Will they fail or come up short? Of course, that is part of life and maturing. That is where I will be there to show them how to get back up and support them.
At the end of the day / my life I want my children to be self-sufficient, responsible adults and to know that I love them and would do anything within my power for them.

I confess that despite my plans of disengaging with my friend (that one), I have agreed to join his team for a hackathon this weekend.
It maximizes my chances of being on the winning team and ending up with enough money to fund my study and treat myself to salmon
As Deng says, doesnāt matter if the cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice

I confess that I have survived 2 weeks of the in laws staying with us without any major melt downs. I am having to bite my tongue a lot so all my food taste like blood !!
I have nearly 3 weeks to go and may well be admitted before that time is up.
I also confess that bringing bulgarians back into my training has been a pain in the ass (literally) and shows me just how effective they are. Looks like I will keep them for a while even though I donāt really love them.

Iāve never been as hungry as I was today and it was all. Damn. Day

This is usually mental IME but making sure youāre hitting your major nutrients helps. I had a couple days early on in my first diet phase that i just wanted to eatā¦ not because i was hungry - just because i wanted to be freee lol
Personally, i found having a steady supply of red meat (i use 93% lean ground beef) in the diet tends to suppress my off-diet urges. Going hard on veggies never hurts either, though itās certainly not as satisfying as demolishing a bag of chips, at least you can feel full without going off diet

Dropbox is driving me crazy because Iām dumb as fuck and also think Iām driving their support team crazy too. If anyone here works there, Iām really sorry lol. Only used it on my home computer in case anything fucks up in my business com so Iām lucky I just backed them up in an external SSD.
Also, iIDrive is offering 10TB of cloud storage for 1 year for 4 dollars. I felt itād be criminal not to mention this. Didnāt bother to look up details other than you will not need to continue with the 19TB plan after that.
I confess that wearing a mask in the office has one advantageā¦ when in the toilet, number 2ās donāt smell as badā¦
