My mom took this picture of me a couple of days ago, and I finally let myself enjoy all the work I've done this last year. It's been a tricky time finding my relationship with food, and with loving myself. But today, I think I'll sit back and let myself be proud. Losing weight fucking blows. I hate the gym. I would rather drop kick a baby than voluntarily eat a salad. But I've given myself a shot at living a long life, which wasn't an option before. Be nice to yourself :)

Maybe you can drop kick a baby INTO a salad...
xochiluvr
holy fucking shit. congrats!
MuttMinder
Great work! Also, I really like those chairs. Can I have them?
powerwagondontcare
They are nice chairs huh
FrenchHorny29
Great work! Congratulations on making the difficult choice to eat a salad instead of drop-kicking a baby.

What kind of arts do you perform?
Imademyselfsquirtle
Judging by the knees... Dramatic arts.

I see, you can't eat as much with the mask on. That's the secret. Seriously tho, you look fantastic.

I... I did. And I get it, but now I'm explaining why I thought it would be funny to ask why we shouldn't kick babies...?

Great to see that this is not about being ugly or attractive but a simple fact that lean people are statistically more likely to live longer
kenkenobi9
It's always about being more attractive......always!!
becameanyoneiwant
Evolutionary science says attractive people are more likely to find mates and pass their genes to future generations, kinda living longer
kenkenobi9
Yep. Like I said. Always!

I don't get why people hate salad, so nice and fresh
SMike369
It also comes down to food quality. If people are used to eat fast food that’s highly processed, salad= bad iceberg lettuce + 1lb dressing
SMike369
I grew up eating from natural food stores /farmers markets and you get a HUGE quality drop in taste when you don’t know what/where to buy
SMike369
Ex of mine’s mom shopped produce at the military base store and his experience with carrots/produce is that they tasted slightly chlorinated
FvcktangularBondulance
I'm unsure about how/why anyone would HATE salad, but some surely have a weird understanding of what salad is in the first place.
atalleywak5
It's the contrast. When you train your brain to crave high sugar, salt, fat, calories, etc, eating a salad tastes like leaves and cardboard.
krissboo
Try replacing the cardboard with chicken or anything that isn't cardboard. Then your salad won't taste like cardboard
Drywhitetoast
For real. I'm a bit of a fatty but I love me some salad.
MatrixCreatrix
Try a Nicoise: Use tuna in water (alabacore), egg whites, only 1 potato, leave out the olives and add mushrroms because they are umami. >
MatrixCreatrix
Make your own vinaigrette, replacing oil with lemon juice and add garlic. I like to add fresh cilantro to the entire salad too. Low fat!

ExplainingTheJokeIsFunnierThanThePunchline
Wear a mask, people. It makes a difference.
MomImHigh
I wear them although i believe other wise, because im not stupid. oh wait, shit, at least, i dont think i am? shit
PerformingArtsAndShit
Wish I could upvote this more
hoopsnek
@extraupvote, @extraextraupvote, and @extraextraextraupvote: do work guys, if you please.
TenEighty
I am curious what you look like without the mask now though tbh, given all the weight loss, I think thats what always amazes me the most
TenEighty
The changes visible in the face I mean
ratboy181
Why are you wearing a mask at home?
Kaadara
Her mask looks sketch when you zoom in on it like it was photoshopped. It doesn't sit right on the photo either & got some weird pixelation.
lilgypsy
The way her hair is pinned across her ear by the mask, which happens and is very annoying, makes it obvious she has a mask on.
hadtodownvote1
Aside from the photoshop angle, it could be that she no longer lives with her mom and was just visiting. So protecting each other with masks
ratboy181
Then why not take the picture at her place? It's bullshit.
PerformingArtsAndShit
actually taking care of my at risk sick mom during the pandemic and put on the mask to promote mask wearing. But thanks for the assumption.
ratboy181
You dodged my question.
hadtodownvote1
Mom just goes "You look beautiful! Let me take a picture!" or whatever. People don't plan these things when everyone has a camera
ratboy181
So she chose the picture with her wearing a mask for her after photo? It's bullshit.
hadtodownvote1
What? Are you having a stroke?
PerformingArtsAndShit
And it wasn’t an “after” photo. It was just my mom thinking I looked nice at home.
procrastinatingagain
Wow. Any suggestions?
MiguelCamino
Eat less, move more
IGetWetDreamsAboutTonyStark
Stop procrastinating

Carrots are sweet, filling, and incredibly low calorie. Great in between meals snack.
cominginhot
go for the lifestyle to learn a new behaviour not the day to day results
ruferto
dont do it again
AwesomeTeddybear
Raw chicken, it's the best in losing weight and preventing yourself from overeating
AwesomeTeddybear
Apparently, 7 people dont understand jokes...
Garbageperson
It's true. Great way to lose all that unnecessary water weight too. They give you back what you need at the hospital
SamArt53
Just two: eat less (95% of losing), exercise more (5% of losing). So easy... /s
pancreas
a sedentary lifestyle is a major cause of obesity, not overeating. also eating right is more important than eating less
Ynigmatyk
Everyone says that and it is true but I like to know what works for specific people. Like what did you personally change?
SamArt53
I reduced my portion size by 10% or so and cut WAY down on snacking at night. I also went from being inactive to doing 30-45 mins X daily.
ShadyVermin
Buy snacks you hate, then you only eat when you're really starving and not just cause you're bored.
SamArt53
My wife does this for Halloween candy. She won’t buy it until a couple days before Halloween and doesn’t buy candy she will eat.
ironglutton
Buy an electronic scale, they’re cheap. Weigh everything you eat. You’d be surprised at how much you underestimate. Eat high fiber foods
LifeIsARollercoaster
One of the easiest ways is skipping a meal. After a few days you don’t even feel hungry at that time
drmuelr
I started keeping track of my daily calorie intake and compared it to a typical basal metabolic rate for someone my size. Was immediately
drmuelr
clear I was overeating by a LOT, and gave me a calorie count to stay under. Knowing all I had to do was stay under the number helped a LOT.
drmuelr
I immediately started dropping ~5 lbs a week by just staying ~300 under the basal rate for my desired weight.
MissAizea
Start weighing food, learn how to make delicious low cal meals. I would always shoot for a 500-1k deficit. No eating out except cheat day
MissAizea
And cheat day would be eating to my goal weights maintenance, not going hog wild

MissAizea
Nah, I eat well seasoned chicken on Spanish rice w/ fresh Pico de gallo, 400 cal,it keeps me full for 4-6 hrs. Especially w/ diet soda
alchemist12345
Cut out sodas and sugary drinks ENTIRELY and drink only water/coffee/tea (without sugar). That alone can have a big effect.
Dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirepus
Done. No loss. Next?
Imapancakenom
Are you a vegetarian?
Itaru
Just count calories. It sucks, but it can't not work.
alchemist12345
If you have no loss after cutting off a huge calorie intake, you are making up the deficit by eating more other things. Control yourself.
UpvoteFairyCakes
Ban yourself from buying any bad foods. Easier to be strong in the shop than at home. Portion size is more important than what you eat. 1/2
UpvoteFairyCakes
By which I mean nutrition is important but it’s easy to think you’ve had a ‘good’ day because you are healthy, but if you eat too much 2/3
UpvoteFairyCakes
You’ll still gain weight. Calorie counting sucks but it works if you’re brutally honest. I used Jane Plan which sends you meals cause 3/4
