Have you seen Jurassic World Rebirth yet?

People who explore caves and try to fit through the smallest spaces. Especially when they go alone.

Liposuction! JK, but they have come out with weight-loss injections like Ozempic. Have you considered trying those?

Seeing my friends I have not seen in a couple years. Lost a few friends due to death..so I look forward to seeing my friends who are still alive

It might help to have a general idea of your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure), keep a food diary for a short time and compare them. I'm seconding temporary calorie counting as being useful.
Foods that aren't calorie dense but are high volume are pretty helpful if you find that you get hungry later on. Also making a point to drink lots of water as you eat can help with satiation.

This is probably not helpful, but getting an active dog was one of the best fitness decisions I ever made!

I’ve lost 35 pounds this year! All because of calorie deficit. It’s seriously the only way. Like other stuff can help but calorie deficit is the way to go.
I usually don’t eat until like 2pm so it’s kinda like a fast I guess. But look for a calorie calculator then find the calories you should eat in a day to lose 1 pound a week or 2 depending on how fast you wanna lose. Then follow that strictly.
What helped me a lot was eating a ton of protein. I think it’s like a gram of protein for every pound you weigh. Protein keeps you full because it burns slower than other foods. Drink lots of water. It makes you less bloated, and I drink peppermint tea morning and night to also help with bloat. Also I shop at Costco so I get bulk fruits and veggies and since I don’t want them to go bad I find my self reaching for those for snacks a lot. Most importantly for me, keep eating the foods you love just make them healthier or lower calorie. There are so many resources from TikTok and YouTube. I’ve made low cal nachos, pizza, subs… list goes on.

Yeah this is very much something said by people that want to excuse their outrageous and problematic behaviour.
There's a clear difference with being unique and confident and being a twat and using 'sorry, not sorry' as a supposed get out of jail free card.

Any problem with a dog IMO is completely outweighed with how loyal and adorable they are.
Second vote for dog.

Second this. Or trying out the recipe boxes? Am sure you have them in the States, they're pretty good to make you cook something more healthy and repeatable.
My biggest problem at the moment is probably saving money! My rent is more than it's ever been, I have a dog, and still live a pretty eventful life. Getting a little pay rise soon which will help, I need to be more strict with treats and date nights and planning ahead rather than doing things on a whim.

I used to listen to full on music as I slept, I quite liked trying to remember what was the last song I heard before I fell asleep - spoiler, it's very hard to remember 🤣
Thing is my music taste is pretty heavy, so I would opt for like MCR or Linkin Park, so could be a mixed bag lol.
Now, my partner likes to have Twitch or something on YouTube playing, so I'm quite used to just sound in the background as I sleep.

I've always wanted to go! Love Edinburgh, have an amazing time!
Moving is such a fun life reset, enjoy!
I haven't kept up enough with the movie line up this year. Is Dune 3 due or is that next year? I think we're getting another Avatar too which will be good. What else is there?

Intermittent fasting is pretty effective, follows a similar philosophy as you've suggested not eating at night.
Otherwise it's pretty much being more active and being more disciplined with food. Calorie counting is not fun but you learn a lot about what you are consuming when you do it for a month. MyFitnessPal is a great app for that.
Try and get your 10k steps in per day, and do a full workout at least 3 times a week.
^^ when I was super disciplined I followed this and lost 10kg in 3 months.

So I've been trying to lose weight - so far I stopped consuming cheese, dairy in general, I stop eating before 7:30pm every night (metabolism slows down at night/down period supposedly, so better for me not to eat during that time).

But... not really losing a lot of weight... at all...

Despite being hungry at nights - I ask, what am I suffering for if it's not working?

Anyway - thinking about turning my diet literally to that of Little Foot from Land Before Time at this point - but then again, he winds up being massive so who knows.

What do you know works?

For reference, I look the same as always - not fat or anything, but not satisfied either.

Movies... there are good movies coming out to distract me from my thoughts.

I listen to the dark thoughts. (kidding)

Normally nothing.

I have an AC unit in my window so I just listen to that. When I’m sleeping somewhere else, I’ll listen to “Brown Noise” too. I can’t sleep in complete silence like I used to when I was younger.

I’m excited to move! And new beginnings. I wanna kiss this place goodbye and never ever come back

I listen to “brown noise” which just kinda sounds like when ur in an airplane. I also like this YouTube channel called “Historian Sleepy” and it’s just boring history to sleep to. I love history so much. Tonight my video of choice is “Could You Survive Working in a Victorian Bakery” lol
Anyways do you like silence while sleeping? Or do you listen to something?

Cutting off semis on the highway. You really don't want to play chicken with 50,000+ lb vehicles, and the amount of people I see swerve in front of them is bewildering.

Yes! That was my thought, too. I've definitely been shamed for my "quirks" in younger years, but I never uttered those words. I've simply lived as myself, without shame.

This is a good take. It could sometimes be a good concept in terms of reclaiming some sense of self you've been othered for, but those people are more likely to express it with their actions than their words. Saying that to someone is almost always a matter of conceit and combativeness, and it just comes across as asinine and unwilling to reflect.

The Edinburgh festival! I've got tickets booked for a play adaptation of a Terry Pratchett book, I'll see one of my friends who only comes here to perform once a year. I usually go to a couple of the free shows and meet a bunch of interesting people. It's a good time!

People who think absolutely everything is objective and they have the only correct opinion

its usually used by people as an excuse to be 'blunt' or 'too honest' aka a ****. Or when used correctly, by eccentric people who ignore the weird looks. - actually unapologetically being yourself.
