Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

In addition, I suppose there are certain PEDs making you more hungry and able to eat more.

I confess I’m going to use this flame free location to flame someone who isn’t a member here.

Some dude on a facebook group I belong to has been trying for MONTHS to find a way to get on TRT. His numbers are within range, but he swears he’s suffering from all the symptoms and he’s got everything else dialed in and NOTHING is working and he’s GOTTA get on TRT to fix his problems. He’s getting tons of sunlight and exercise and his nutrition is tight and he’s drinking plenty of water and etc etc.

Today, that same dude posted this in the group

Like, I genuinely wonder what it’s like to go through life so blissfully lacking in self-awareness.

Zero sugar.

That sounds too much like a sugar product named Zero for me to trust it.

It’s upsetting how ā€œTRTā€ has been used by folks to mean ā€œI’m running steroids without calling it thatā€ in order to twist the expectation of what TRT actually is. So many dudes think it’s just another way to get jacked, or that it’s some panacea that will solve all the problems that are a result of poor lifestyles.

Yeah. Some of the ā€œTRTā€ stacks I’ve seen were pretty interesting, to say the least.

I think this is what we are seeing more and more of.

ā€œTell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are.ā€ Well, eating sugar-free junk and Publix deli foods tells me you are probably experiencing your ā€œlow-T symptomsā€ from that.

I’m getting tested for TRT right now due to various factors but I want the most minimum does of whatever possible if I qualify. last time I had my T checked it was 276, we’ll see what comes back this time.

I just want my energy levels back. Lately even with enough sleep it’s been terrible.

And the classic ā€œyou are what you eatā€, or ā€œyou are what you eat EATSā€ as well. We’re seeing this with Ozempic now too. All solutions are just pharma.

@cyclonengineer If TRT is the solution, I hope that goes well for you. My doctor had a great quote ā€œYou didn’t come here for labs: you came here for symptoms. How are your symptoms doing?ā€

That’s a good quote. My doctor is pretty good at not simply over-prescribing things and asks me to call if things start changing.

I’ve started prep for this year’s menu.

Feel more nervous about it than I did for my comprehensive exam (or any major test I’ve taken)

This is why I’ll never be a chef

I also confess that I’m a сука in the kitchen when I’m making one of these.

I confess I just devoured The Intentional Father by Jon Tyson cover-to-cover in an afternoon.

I confess this book should be mandatory reading for every father raising sons (or daughters), whether he’s a Jesus-follower or not.

I confess I’m feeling excited, confident, and capable—but simultaneously convicted and almost unbearably overwhelmed—at the task I am facing over the next 6-7 years.

I confess that every so often I convince myself that I am not lactose intolerant and have some milk…… only to find out I am…. Very much…… lactose intolerant……

My husband and I ate 2/3 or more of this bag last night watching TV. I don’t even know what came over me. :grimacing:

Edit: I did not buy them.
