Oh I do love New England. Don't get me wrong, but you have to be rather hardy to make it though the tougher months....or just a crazy skier.I think that's what's so interesting for me about relocating somewhere with real winter. We've definitely had bad winters but most of that is because we don't have the infrastructure for it. A week or two of cold weather with maybe some snow (or ice, more likely) and everything goes to hell. We may get that two or three times a winter, broken up by boring cold weather or decent days. I don't even have a proper winter jacket because a hoodie with a long sleeved shirt underneath will work just fine most of the time, even with my distaste for the cold. If it's colder than that, I just don't go out because there's nothing to do anyway. I want to go somewhere that requires the art of layering. I want to go somewhere that doesn't freak out because there is a possibility of snow. I know blizzards and all that can be brutal and I'm not trying to romanticize it but it is part of the appeal. I want that experience, you know? I've spent many of days in Vermont and it is as charming as it is made out to be. Not without issues, but the ideal isn't a fake vibe.Vermont looks incredible. I might spend a couple of weeks in New England because it seems difficult to pick one place to go. --- Spongebob is not a contraceptive. |

| TheLiarParadox 04/15/24 5:05:04 PM #147 | cjsdowg posted...
For me it seems like when people see themselves as just the fat guy it makes he harder to lose weight. It makes it harder to do so many things because they connect with that idea of being the fat guy. ( I got have lost some pounds) not on your level so I am also speaking for my journey and not trying to take thing away from yours . It is odd that we see the same thing and come out with different points of view. (not suggesting you are wrong in any way).I didn't see myself as just that prior to weight loss though. I had very little self-awareness or emotional maturity and was a very impulsive, reactionary creature, for the lack of a better term. Becoming the "funny fat guy" was not a conscious choice but a defense mechanism based on how I was treated. I was around 10 when I learned I could ingratiate myself to people that way and quickly centered my entire personality around it with all the maturity and foresight someone of that age can possess. I lost weight because my health plummeted and I didn't really have a choice. I was going to die because of my weight. Once I proved capable of controlling it and losing a lot of fat, all of this started to become apparent. If I never lost weight, I don't think I ever would have realized any of it. It's hard to explain because it is a little counterintuitive, I guess. But yeah, there's a lot of variation in how all of this is experienced, as with anything in life. --- Spongebob is not a contraceptive. |

That's possible. But think of nearly or more then 6 months of 17 to 35 degree weather, with some ligit -degree Temps scattered in and effectively no sun. And then turning around from that to all sorts of high temps and cracy humidity, and a shit ton of bugs.I've been looking through temperatures for the last few summers in various places in New England and I haven't seen anything close to what we get down here, not in severity or duration. I've actually gotten pretty heat tolerant in recent years and I have little issue spending time outside up to 100F, even when it's humid, so those summer highs in the 90s still look great to me. I had mosquitos in my house in January, so bugs aren't much of a deterrent either <_< The cooler months there are infinitely less appealing but that tradeoff is still an interesting prospect that I want to experience for myself. I know I could be absolutely wrong and hate it but I hate it here too so --- Spongebob is not a contraceptive. |

The topic only got like 6 responses and one of them was mine saying it looked cool but I have no musical talent. The TC, I believe, responded and said something about it taking time and practice to get good. I don't think there were many responses after that. Anyway, I want to get one now (even though the sale is likely long over) but I do not know what the thing was exactly. If you were that TC or someone in that topic, please help me find the instrument. I feel like wasting money. --- Spongebob is not a contraceptive. |

Fat does not define you; it is not your personality, nor is it an intrinsic part of who you are. You can shed fat, but you cant lose what truly makes you, you. I don't necessarily agree with this. I got fat as a child because I used binge eating to cope with a series of traumatic experiences. This poisoned me on a foundational level and kept me from every developing a personality outside of being the funny, self-deprecating fat guy, or someone with poor impulse control and zero discipline. I lost 150+ lbs and once it started becoming a regular occurrence for me not to be the heaviest person in every room I walked into, I had an identity crisis of sorts. I started losing weight and realized that there was nothing else about me, nothing serious at my core. All of my interests, friends, and perception of myself were heavily entangled with me being fat or with the C-PTSD that made and kept me fat. I've changed nearly everything about me, diet, hobbies, mindset, and seriously everything. I'm a completely different person because of the physical and mental process of losing weight in a healthy, sustainable way. The more I become my own person on my own terms and get to actually grow in healthy and positive ways, the more obvious it is that I was, in every sense, a big fat guy and very little else. I can only speak of my own experience though, and I know that it is not universal. Everyone should be able to define themselves how they want. --- Spongebob is not a contraceptive. |

| Topic | Does it cost a lot of money when people lose a bunch of weight and have to get |
| TheLiarParadox 04/10/24 10:31:59 AM #4 | It depends on how long a person has been overweight, their current age, overall health, and genetics. Some people can lose the weight and not have it that bad but most people are going to have it to some extent.
I went from 380 to 230 @ 5'10" and have it pretty bad. I've gotten a few estimates and to take care of everything without traveling is going to be between 25 and 40k USD out of pocket. It will be cheaper if I group surgeries together, like doing arms and chest at once, but that can yield subpar results, not to mention requiring a longer, more painful recovery. Doing it piecemeal is less risky with better results but more expensive. I don't have insurance but insurance, as usual, is very dodgy about when they'll cover it. It is more likely to be approved if the loose skin leads to infections or otherwise causes severe physical problems but that's not a guarantee either. --- Spongebob is not a contraceptive. |
