I can kind of get it. When I got the diagnosis I felt like shit for about 2 weeks to the point I think I skipped a couple days of work just from having next to no real motivation to do shit. It's not a death sentence but it's definitely something where you get the news and all you can think is "so I have to stab myself 4 times a day for the rest of my life?"

I'd be all doom and gloom at first as well. Eventually within weeks I would pull my head out of my ass and do what I gotta do, but yeah those first few weeks would be brutal. I just can't wrap my head around eating yourself into being an amputee. Really shows how horrible food addiction can be. Wish people took it more seriously.

That shit is really an issue now around where I live and is in everything. Street drugs were never safe before but now it's Russian roulette.

I'm so glad it wasn't around in my early 20s when I had to watch so many of my friends/family/acquaintances fall victim to opioids. Would have been going to more funerals back then.

That's awesome man. Like @CubicleGangster said, lots of people hear news like that and keep doing the exact same shit.

Losing that weight was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I always thought it would be easy because I'd been in great shape prior, I'm disciplined once I set a goal, and I genuinely enjoy working out every day. It was insane how difficult it was to break through those plateaus and get my body accustomed to exercise again though.

I lost 25 pounds during the pandemic somehow.

The fact that fat folks are the only acceptable group you can still make fun of for outward appearance doesn't help.

I'm not on the "being a fat fuck is healthy" bandwagon but just disparaging people isn't a great way to get them to change their lifestyle.

I can't believe I am referencing this but it's like the opening of Season 2 of Archer where Cyril talks about being a sex addict and that when he abstains from that he eats to fill the void then feels like shit about himself and has too much sex then starts eating again. The ebb and flow of gorging with food is similar to the binge drinking of an alcoholic.

Eh you really can't make fun of people for being fat anymore. It is totally verboten.
The ebb and flow is spot on though. Replacing one behavior with another. Usually happens because the cause/source of the addiction isn't being addressed.

My problem was self worth I think. I notied it looking at my friend group now and the one I had in high school and how toxic parts of it are.

Friends I had in high school used to always rip on me for things but I just tried to laugh it off save for like 3-4 guys that surprise surprise, are the only ones I still talk to.

My current friend group like 2 of the 5 seem to think the better you talk shit even about your friends means you're a better person and there's almost a part of me that wants to leave it behind because of it. If I streamed more consistently with different groups it'd be easier for me to analyze. I may laugh with the guys I know IRL that talk shit about me and others in the group constantly but I definitely laugh harder and more often and easier with the guys I play Destiny 2 with as we're making fun of shit IN the game.

Just depends on the person and the group I guess. I am still close with HS group of friends. We talk daily even though half of us have left the state. We rip on each other hard till this day. We don't rip on one of our friends for his weight due to his issues with it but we make fun of ourselves and each other for getting lazy and fat.

yeah, there's light hearted ripping and then there's just being a douche and some of it feels like it falls into the realm of being a douche.

@Buff it is here!!!!!!!

I set it up chilling on the corner of our couch. So far no calls or texts from the wife. Either she’s gone blind or our baby has been an absolute handful today if she hasn’t noticed this thing there lol

Always best to cut ties with the toxicity. This friend group use to be significantly larger but we dwindled it down to six of us.

What if your wife calls and accuses you of cheating to get it?

[Ruprecht]

That's better than the album version.

If anyone ever sees him doing something in Illinois or Wisconsin, tag me and I will absolutely show up there with the pillow and sharpie and do my best to get him to sign it

I’ll be sure to have someone recording, that way if nothing else I can share my ass kicking

He probably laughs about it.

I prefer the album version TBH. it's what I grew up to is all.

that whole album is great though in so many ways.

crazy to think Rush used to perform on MTV & was revered the same as Brittany Spears was too, back then right?

 

[Gregolian]

He's a male prostitute!

We’re they ever on TRL?

Raab Himself, Rake, or Art Webb 1986 for me

It's crazy and awesome how Raab turned himself around. Last I read he's been constantly trying to get Bam help and is all about preaching clean living

Lifeson is such a good sport haha
