I thought this thread disappeared
Confession: I don’t understand how all these dudes have put themselves in situations where they have compromised themselves professionally with sexual allegations and what not, or where all these men are finding women to cheat on their significant others with. I mean…how does this even happen? The confession being that when guys tell me, or I hear them say, that they, “could get a girl.” or that the girl from work, “wants them.” I rarely give it credence.

This picture made me really nostalgic for establishment politicians and at least the appearance of decorum.
Bush with his arm on Hillary and Bill “photobombing” in the background. Just gold.

Confession: My wife just ordered an 8 quart instant pot. We already have a 6 quart. We also have a 6 quart and 4 quart slow cooker.
…and right now my training goal is weight loss.
I am so upset to have access to so much cooking stuff and not be able to effectively implement any of it. I could meal prep for a week in the span of an hour right now, but meal prep is even easier when you’re losing weight, because you just don’t eat anything.
On that note, I also confess that I think losing weight is super easy, because all you do is NOT do something, but since I’ve never actually gotten to bodybuilding lean, I’m probably talking out of the wrong orifice.

Well, you’re special and you probably don’t eat for no reason when you’re bored. I do. I have moments where I eat if I’m not full. I think there’s something wrong with me, but for now it’s all good because the goal is to grow.
When I’m cutting down it seems that I’m perpetually hungry. I eat, and then just think about eating until it’s time to eat again.

Oh I certainly feel the compulsion, but that’s what I’m saying; eating is doing SOMETHING. Not eating is doing nothing, which is so much easier.
I have never known not being hungry. I can recall 3 times in my life of feeling full. I certainly understand your situation.

You’ll note I was VERY precise in calling it “losing weight” and not “losing fat”, haha.

Sometimes not doing something can be just as difficult. Ever have an itch you couldn’t scratch because you had to hold still?
I mean, it sucked, yeah, but not scratching it wasn’t difficult. Scratching it would be more difficult.
Perhaps I’m going too Newtonian on this one.
We’re comparing mental anguish to physical exertion.
Now I’m picking up what you’re putting down…or not putting down - whichever is easier.

I watch the eagles on explore.org all the time -it’s eaglet season!
Right now, “everyone” is on pins and needles because Daddy eagle has been missing for days from a nest in Decorah, Iowa that has 3 eaglets. Daddy is/was old, so…
I watched a hummingbird nest where one baby died (of two), and the other had to be taken out of the nest in an attempt to save it’s life because it was no longer feeding. Googled and found out hummingbird chicks are way too fragile, so I don’t watch anymore.

I think you are going a bit too meta here, Punny.
Not eating isn’t quite “doing nothing”, because you have to resist the urge to eat, which IS doing something (resisting). If there was no urge and you just had to not eat as much, than I think you would be on to something.
But to have to ignore than hunger and gnawing hole-in-your-gut feeling, and resist all the temptation in the world you encounter… thats something.

Interesting philosophical inquiry; if no food was available to eat, would you still have to resist the urge?
That is one word for it.
What are some others?
I saw a sentence today:
The past few posts have made it come to mind.

Yin and yang. Matter and anti matter. Push and pull.
That’s why you deadlift more when you focus on pushing the world away, rather than pulling the bar up.

Similar to “if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.”
