In France in conforama stores salesman use a ascii terminal GUI connected to AIX shells. Fast as hell to take your order. I’m always amazed at how marketing BS lead us to vastly sub optimal solution.
You get the vi bindings and modal behaviour which I find better _plus_ all emacs functions and most of the emacs bindings. I’m often mixing the 2 modes while editing.
What helps me doing something I don’t like on a daily basis (pull up for example) is thinking : I don’t have the choice. That way I consume much less willpower
That’s my point. Regarding people that maintain the same weight, I highly doubt they eat on average the _exact_ amount needed. There must be physiological adjustments that are broken in some people.
How do one manage to eat exactly the amount of calories one consumes ? Based on the calories in/out weight gain theory a little error of 50 calories/day would lead to 50*365=18250 extra calories/year ie 18250/9000=~2kg of fat. 20kg in 10 years !
Eat an apple a day and you’ll be massively obese in few years.
Seems there are some words seen as high level that a French would immediately recognise whereas the relaxed counterpart make no sense for him. Example : "facilitate". I’m French, this word sounds like horrible "franglais" for me but may look classy for an English (?).
Hi, I’m obese and struggling for 25 years. What I mean is life long normal weight people don’t do any effort. An obese who tries to loose or maintain weight make great efforts and is doomed to fail because no one can sustain it on the long run. We have to find a way to do it without effort. The first step is to avoid setting goals and don’t be in "warrior" mindset. Weight is not something to conquer, but a lagging result of your habits. Better to focus on strategies to avoid overeating each day. I’m trying this since few months. Keep the faith guys :-)
Problem is people want it all : health _and_ do whatever comes to my mind. Sometime reality is stronger than will. My advice : do not focus on a weight but on eating normally. If you can stop _gaining_ weight it’s the first step to health. Eventually and _very_ gradually your weight will decrease and in a very distant future it’ll be normal.
"I will be a health(ier) weight, if I continue to put the effort in. And who knows?" Fit and normal people don’t put any effort. As long as you’ll see this as an effort/reward thing you will fail. My advice : focus on eating normally every day. 3 meals / day. Don’t focus on long term goals.
