  1. Yeah, when I went from 240, to 205, I had the best bloodwork of my adult life. Put on 10 lbs, and my next round of blood work was worse than it was when I was 240. I was so fucking pissed I didn't even get a physical the next year. This year I quit drinking for 3 weeks before my physical to get a baseline, and sure enough, great blood work. Fucking drinking.
  2. Listen dude, I generally agree with what you're trying to say. I have a hormonal wife, who I swear eats less than 900 calories a day, and she's premenopausal. I know plenty of people that bust ass and can't lose weight. But you're so absurdly trying to mock the "fat is a choice" people, while ignoring the fact that for MANY PEOPLE, being fat IS their choice. And it's illustrated by all the people on this thread saying they made adjustments and lost weight. Lots of people don't have hormonal issues, medical issues, medication related issues, they just have shitty access to healthy food, or they make bad fucking choices. You mock the absolutists that say Fat is a Choice, while you turn around and insist being fat is NOT a choice. Despite all evidence to the contrary for MANY people, including posters on this thread that are/were fat by their own fucking choices. You're doing the same thing you're attempting to malign them of doing. For a massive chunk of society, being fat is a choice. And for a massive chunk of society, it's not really a fucking choice for a VARIETY of reasons, like attempted to say earlier. I'm 6'3". In High School, I was overweight and sedentary and we were poor and had access to shitty food. In college I started running, and I got down to 170 at my lowest, from about 220-230. After college I was consistently around 200 for awhile, then I started doing Crossfit, and got up to 220 of mostly muscle, but still a belly. Then I had a kid, quit crossfit, ballooned up to 240. Then I got a peloton, reduced my drinking, and got down to 205, while doing keto and loosely counting calories. Then I started drinking more again, worked out less diligently, and now I'm back to around 215-220. Except now I'm on Keto and and the Peloton, and counting calories, and guess what, it's not working the same way at all, and my guess is because this time around I'm fucking 45 years old. If I want to make a dent, I'm going to have to make some new fucking choices, which probably amount to almost quitting alcohol and adding more weight training into things. But those are choices. Maybe ones I won't make, who knows. But choice plays into it, for MANY people. Not all. But Many.
  3. Boy, when someone says Rice Triangle to me, that is not what crosses my mind. And I've been to Japan. Hell, BECAUSE I've been to Japan.
  4. There are some decent yogurt brands, like Two Good, that have high protein and low sugar. But of course you have to find them, and they're more expensive, because everything in the food industry that is "healthy," which basically means made as it was 150 years ago (and is probably cheaper) will command premium pricing. That's because you've been conditioned over your entire life to be addicted to sugar. Yeah, we absolutely are healthy with out kids snacks. The food industry and sugar is no different than the cigarette industry and nicotine. They knew they were creating addicts, and they did it because it's great for the business model. Our never gets anything at our house other than as much non-sugar added items as we can procure at a grocery store? Juice? Nah, Hapi Water or some organic juice if HEB is out. Capri Sun he only gets at other kid's homes.
  5. Well, they are aggies. It's in their DNA. I imagine a bunch of boosters mumbling "Line of scrimmage league" in their sleep as they toss and turn. And when they wake up, they Stewart Smalley themselves into the mirror every day with a mantra of "I'm the Big Brother, THEY'RE the Little Brother." Then they repress their homosexuality a bit and head off to their State Farm office in the strip-mall by the nearest Kroger.
  6. I'm 45, and I still drink regularly, and when I'm hungover, I'm pretty sure a regular delivery pizza still sounds orders of magnitude better than a gas station pizza. As Derka has referenced, I think people struggle to understand just how addicting sugar is, and how sugar is in ALL of our fucking food, often unnecessarily but just as a way to sell more fucking food. This is why I think food addiction is a real thing, because sugar addiction is a real fucking thing. Generative AI, so grain of salt, but: Now, in America we pour sugar into fucking everything. Specifically, Corn Syrup, which we basically created to be an additional government subsidy for farmers. I've been on and off Keto for a few years now, and the side result is that you look at all the labels. The amount of "Added sugars" in the columns for foods like fucking bread, or condiments, snacks, and sometimes even processed meats, is staggering. And that's before you get to sugary drinks, even "healthy" ones like Gatorade. We lace everything with sugar, to make it more addicting, and then ignorant parents feed this shit to their children from day one. My son has a friend who's parents are overweight. The kid is still a rail, but he won't be, and he's gobbling down just koolaid and candy and ice cream and pizza and such at all times. I think his relationship with food might have never had a chance. And it's worse for poor children, where their access to food is limited to processed, sugar addicting shit. For many people, and in many regards, being fat is a choice. Maybe for all people, on some level, it's a choice. It's also a choice for me to climb Mt. Everest. Technically, I can do it. But realistically, I'm going to fucking die. And I say that as a 45 year old, reasonably in shape person, who probably needs to drop 15-20 lbs and quit drinking the way I drink.
  7. Lets not discount the fact that he just likes fucking children.
  8. You don't know that for sure. There could be one or two. Of course, chances are high they're dementia addled and think they're a potato, but there could be a couple.
  9. I like how your “plan b” is basically the same kicker as auburn. Fucking stupid. oh yeah, you think even the fat pussies on this board are scared to shit talk a 6 foot 180 lb kicker?
  10. Gotta appeal to the idiots. The reading level of half of America is the below the 6th grade level, after all. I can think of a few posters who think it’s brilliant.
  11. I think it's funny that he thinks his offspring would want to fight for him. Or do his bidding in any way. Or even talk to him. Track record says otherwise.
  12. Just like Bert Auburn, you think you're good at your job as well.
  13. That is ALSO what she said.
  14. It's a shame we don't have an option to take this attitude with your posting.
  15. I'll give my own anecdotal evidence and let folks do what they will with it. I will say I attempted to get back onto ADHD medicine as an adult and didn't like it, so I slough through life without it. Anyway. I am adopted. My records indicate that my father was 6'1 or so, and my mother was 5'10, if I remember correctly. I was always the tallest kid in class when I was younger. My mom was a former teacher, she knew I was ADHD, but docs wouldn't prescribe me Ritalin because I made straight A's in elementary school. Finally my mom found a psychiatrist was like "Yeah, this kid is classic ADHD" and prescribed Ritalin to me when I was in the 5th grade. At the time, I was 5'10", and doctors had projected my growth in the 6'7" or 6'8" range. I took Ritalin through HS, and from 5th grade to puberty, I only grew 5 inches, and I'm now a hair shy of 6'3". Now, that worked out for me, because man, 6'7" would not have been super cool, but 6'3" works out just fine, assuming Ritalin did stunt my growth. Not sure if my genes are of the 6'7" variety or not, but also anecdotally, my wife is 5'3" and our son is also generally the biggest kid in his grade thus far. He's 7, most folks assume he's like 9-10. We'll see how tall he ends up considering he's got his mom's 5'3" weighing him down. If he also ends up around my height, well, maybe I did have those 6'7" genes after all.
  16. I'm all for violence, but I'm not super keen on seeing a Final Solution implemented on an opposing QB. Unless it's at A&M or OU, maybe.
  17. How long can the oil industry shoulder 60 dollars per barrel without laying the fuck off people and shutting down any field expansion, or even re-working older wells?
  18. That's a weird way for the guy to beg his peers to buy his family baseball tickets for Saturday and Sunday.
  19. To be fair, I'm still watching it happen. I'm just enjoying it now because it's happening in College Station.
  20. You say "the government" but it's really just one asshole. Sure, he's at the top of the government, but he fucking hates the IRS more than you do...
  21. I'm not so sure. I think it more likely that they'll eventually riot in the streets while enduring all of the pain regardless. Sigh.
  22. Some some prognosticators, maybe it was the Bank of America CEO, say they think the bottom is when the S&P hits 4800.
  23. I think the US Govt (elected and appointed officials) will be more keen to stay this course longer than the American consumer. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe 40% of Americans are too stupid to realize what has caused the deep recession we'll all be living in 6 months from now.
