Down to 13st 1.3lbs!! That is 16.7lbs lost. My app says I will be 13st in 6 days. I will celebrate with a great takeaway pizza from Tunbridge Wells, or get this fab cake from there. Then back to the diet again! Can't remember if I said, but I am wearing 0.5kg (1lb) ankle weights when I go on my...

In that case, why discriminate against the smart when you say, "don't deserve 1st world standards of living if you are not smart?" It affects both the smart and the not-so-smart, but you are favouring the not-so-smart over the third-world smart individual. Why isn't your argument, "Remove the...

Let me try angle #2. :p If you don't do the swap, aren't we simply saying that if you are smart (in the third world country), you don't deserve to have a first world standard of life? [Clue: this is a zero sum game.]

Interesting reasoning Bee. You could then say because you aren't smart, you don't deserve to have the same income as someone who is smart. Next step, communism! Or if you like, you could say because you are not smart enough to get a medical degree, we are being exclusionary to those...

Interesting points Doc. Regarding the Vits, I am using the term loosely. Instead, I am talking about supplements, some of which are Vits. My stack includes: - Pterostilbene - Tru Niagen - L-Carnosine - Astaxanthin - Vit D3 - Curcumin - Fish oil The Vit D3...you cannot get enough through a...

Thought I would update this thread after completing a journal post about identity change. I've been watching some YouTube videos about it. I think it is interesting to see where I was, where I am now, and where I will be soon. I think there is quite some lag in perception between who you were...

I am confident you will iterate your way to a decent routine. Little improvements will get you there. Having your own front door will make a huge difference, I am sure. Nothing like being master of your own environment - something I can only dream of!

Hit a significant milestone today. I am now 13st 2.8bs, with a bit of help from a stomach bug this week. That means I have lost one stone (14lbs). That represents half way towards my ultimate goal of 12st 4lbs. However, I am not that far off 13st which was my initial goal. Only a few pounds to...

Uncle, I think the term they use is "Mindfulness." Lots of therapy is based around that nowadays.

This reminds me of the basic tenant of Buddhism: Life is suffering. [and it is a consequence of human existence.] They refer to it as Dukkha.

And if you like some of Jordan Peterson's stuff, we have two threads on him here! This is the longest one: https://themindtavern.com/community/threads/dr-jordan-b-peterson-professor-and-clinical-psychologist.244/

That is why I suggest you start small, with few items on it. Life gets in the way. If you just do not have time to do stuff during certain times, block them out in grey beforehand. If you look at my grid, you can see that at the weekend, there are some things that I do not do. You could adopt...

Interesting post there Doc. I went to a few Toastmaster clubs over the years, and I believe the public speaking skills are hugely valuable. You put yourself into potential leadership positions, where your speaking ability alone is enough to raise your pay grade. I never stuck at it long enough...

The concept is indeed a huge one. When you are young and have time on your side, the potential implications are even greater. Have you still been using the grid?

I don't think I disagree with anything you have said there Doc, except perhaps the term "toxic masculinity", which I believe is a fabricated political ideology that does not hold up to serious scrutiny. A few of aspects to consider: 1. If a woman typically works fewer hours due to looking...

I came across this rather interesting video today. During a hearing about a wage gap of 15%, the guy running the meeting said that men work longer hours than women. He asked the representatives - who believed the wage gap was unfair - do they factor that in when trying to determine if the wage...

Update: 71% of Stage 1 completed so far. Predicted to complete Stage 1 on March 19th, which would be 18lbs lost. Then Stage 2 starts, which is to lose another 10lbs. If I know I can do Stage 1 (18lbs), I don't see why I can't achieve Stage 2 too (10lbs). It is just a question of continuing what...

Yes indeed Doc. These ones were special cases who lived in the woods. I think it was a low budget film so they probably forgot that part. :D

Just seen a movie called Howl. No prizes for guessing its a weirwolf movie. Anyways, near the end the guy sacrifices himself to save the woman, giving her his first and last kiss before offering himself to the werewolves. (Technically it was sexual assault since he had no consent from the...

I had to get that in when I saw it hovering at 2,999. :D We have quite a bit of content here now!
