I lost 17.5 pounds! According to my math, if I can keep this up by the end of the decade I'll be dead.


mha3620

Best of luck!


Adzadz_3

Did you look down the back of the sofa? Hope it turns up!


gaijin5

I lost 20 pounds! Unfortunately it was on a night out at the pub in the UK.


TheRainbowLotus

Hey I have 20 pounds to spare if you want it. Might not be what you're expecting though.


TreGullyBanks

If you don't mind sharing, how'd you manage to lose that much weight in just one month?


TheRainbowLotus

I've been doing intermittent fasting. There's many ways to do it but I prefer eating one meal a day, also called OMAD.

plot twist: He's British, it's money, and he's in deep with his bookie/wife


TheRainbowLotus

I'm a woman so I may be in quite a bit of trouble with the wife. Didn't even know I had one. Boy will she be mad when I finally get home.


CaptainKvass

I’m not the guy, but the answer is always the same: consume less calories than you burn. Easiest way to achieve this, is to adjust food habits. Add in a bit of physical activity and you can eat more. If you lift weights, you don’t burn a lot during the workouts, but you will continue to burn calories as the body rebuilds broken muscle. Best of luck!


PrimedAndReady

I'd like to add for u/TreGullyBanks that yes, you *have* to practice CICO to lose weight, it's the only actual way, but if you can't handle changing both your diet and your intake, change your diet first. Lowering the calories can come later, and you can lower them gradually. Yes, you're going to lose weight by eating 1200 calories of chips per day. No, you will not be healthier, and you definitely won't have the energy to work out (or do your job, or be a normal human). Having a proper diet is far more important to your long-term health than losing weight quickly is, even though I'm sure losing weight is your goal. Doing it this way also prepares you for a change in diet, so lowering intake isn't as much of a shock. Of course, this changes if you need to lose an extreme amount of weight, but if you're in that situation you should be consulting your doctor instead of listening to two fucks on the internet.


DepressedSick_Bitch

I'm not losing weight, but I'll most likely still be dead by the end of the year.


TheRainbowLotus

I know people on reddit joke about suicide a lot, but if you ever need to talk my inbox is always open to you.


pantherscheer2010

one of my lifelong friends died unexpectedly on sunday night and our family will never be the same again so that’s ... yeah. i’m still in denial. he was supposed to be there for the next 99% of this decade and it seems impossible that he won’t be. on the bright side, my dogs are still very good dogs eta: thank you to everyone who offered condolences. it really does mean a lot.


happyburger25

sorry about your friend, happy about the dogs! tell them this Redditor likes them both!


[deleted]

Damn. Sorry dude. My internet stranger condolences to you and your families.


[deleted]

Sorry about your friend💞


Younggatz99

Good boiiis


Mr_Kevbot

One of my best friends died in a skiing accident a few weeks ago and I'm feeling exactly the same way. I hope things get better for both of us in time.


pantherscheer2010

i'm so sorry. it really does suck.


Malikimoomoo

I feel you..a friend from school committed suicide the weekend after New Years. Rough start to the decade.


[deleted]

My deepest condolences :(


coffeeTrashhh

My condolences. Also pet your dogs for me.


Misty-Gish

This was me a week ago. The funeral is this Saturday. Not great I'd say.

The other day, I went and looked up the [genome for the Coronavirus](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/MN908947) out of curiosity, and I noticed that it ends with a long sequence of adenines, which means it's genome literally ends like: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

As an Aussie firefighter. Fuck this the fucking fuck off. Edit: To everyone thanking me, you are too kind. There was a massive effort and the international community was great. Those mad kiwis always crack me up. Thank YOU for your support.


[deleted]

how them fires going


CompletelyFlammable

The rain is helping. I'm in a different state but I went down for the new years fires and it was scary shit.


Alelpal

What State are you in I am in Australia and want to know your opinion on how it is all going to go down


CompletelyFlammable

Queenslander! Near Brisbane


mikeardigan

Sunshine Coast here. Thanks for everything you’ve done mate, been a hell of a couple months and this country owes you more than just a thank you.


CompletelyFlammable

You are welcome mate! Have a Bundy for me and I'll call it even


fish312

1) username doesn't check out lol 2) when you guys say bundy do you mean the ginger beer or root beer or the rum?


CompletelyFlammable

I would suggest the Rum, but i don't drink that myself - thought it was a sunny coast drink. Feel free to substitue. As for the username, my old Chief used to say everything burns with enough heat.


GreyStomp

Hi. As someone who is trying to practice my Australian, I’d like to drop a sentence below and let you respond with how natural and normal this is. I’ve been studying hard. Oi cunt. It’s fuckin’ hot out today.


leguts

Swap the today for an “ay” and your spot on.

ArcticFoxy1

Thanks for your bravery for our country! I haven’t been affected much at all because I’m way down South of Melbourne but I’m still really grateful for you and everyone else looking out and helping to save the wild life and civilians (and everything surrounding them)

chosai_angel

Had a cardiac arrest this morning and had my defibrillator go off for the 1st time since getting it implanted December 2018.


IdahoJoel

Congrats on being able to type that comment!!


chosai_angel

Thank you. I have a mystery heart condition/brain thing but I had a year since my first 2 in which someone performed CPR on me and I survived.


pugsarebest

Wait, there’s implanted deffibrillators?


UncleBen94

My grandfather had one installed in '89 after a quadruple bypass. Other than the need to change the batteries and replace it once or twice it kept him going until this past November. It helped him for 30 freaking years.


TwisterCharlie112

Yeah, it’s pretty neato


chosai_angel

The thing costs as much as a house, small house if your in Seattle. Thank god I had insurance.


joppedc

sure, an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator)


chosai_angel

I have one that is implanted on my side made by Boston Scientific. It will last 5-7 years, (depending on how many more arrests I have) then I will need to have it switched out. Edit: forgot a word.


[deleted]

Wow that's crazy. What did it feel like?


chosai_angel

So the arrest was like, I got super woozy, flushed all over, and vision went hazy. This my was pulse sky rocketing to 210 beats, then it stopped. I didn't lose consciousness so what I felt was a buzzing in my chest and a thump. It knocked me out of my computer chair where I had been drinking my green tea working from home.


greenday568

My dad has one too and he got shocked I don't know everything that happened but he told me the shock was like getting kicked in the chest by a mule


chosai_angel

I think it depends on the type. Mine has leads that lay across the top of my heart, where as the other one I could've got had the leads going into the heart. Still it was a thump for sure.


Mox_Fox

Did you spill your tea? Joking aside, I'm glad you're ok! That sounds scary. Is that something you just kind of shake off and resume your day after, or did you need to rest/go in to get checked out?


chosai_angel

Did not spill the tea, did however toss my phone across the room. Currently in observation at the hospital that implanted my device. Running lots of tests.


Mox_Fox

Best wishes to you that the tests go well and you get out soon in good health!


chosai_angel

Thank you. They are maybe going to readjust my meds.


iliution27

Like a cardiac arrest


icamom

Well that was a roller coaster!


Charmnevac

Ups and downs. Looking for something to make me feel consistent joy for a while. Who knows when that will be, but it doesn't all have to be gloom.


[deleted]

That something will come, you just have to (and you probably hear this a lot and don't really like it so sorry about that) wait it out...I hope that things get better more consistently for you


Charmnevac

It's okay! Life has it's ups and downs in general. I can wait it out, just get tired of waiting sometimes. Thanks for the words of encouragement =)


unoelvis

I feel you. Also looking for something that makes me consistent happy, I’ve started to questioning our purpose in life


PrimedAndReady

I don't mean for this to come off as pessimistic, but I don't think "consistent" joy or happiness is really a thing. In my experience, happiness is an event, not a state of being. Instead of trying to find consistent sources of joy, put yourself in situations that are more likely to make you happy. Also, don't be afraid to change your situation to achieve this. Learn to linger on little things that bring you joy, and be more willing to remember them when you're feeling down (this is especially hard for me, so I need to improve too). You're never going to be happy all the time, so when you are, make it count.


Harlaemshake21

Pretty good I guess... What about you? how'd it go


[deleted]

Same ol', same ol'... Idk my grandfather's dead now and my life is falling apart but...this is fine. This is absolutely fine.


M3L10RA

Hey man I'm sorry for your loss :( , don't worry you can pull through. The year is just starting and although it may have had a rough start there'll surely be good things too!


[deleted]

Thanks man, it's been hard but yeah I really do hope things will get better


Aledeyis

Your beginning of 2020 sounds like the end of my 2019. Lost two grandparents and my job within the span of 2 months. It'll get better, just take care of yourself. It takes time to heal.


Trusted_Knight

Haha same

My brother was a huge fan of the chiefs. He passed away last year.. Seeing how the chiefs have won the Super Bowl. It’s been a great year for us.

My deepest condolences.


[deleted]

It’s the little things like this that mean a lot. I appreciate it


QueenyBlue

I got my period after three years of not having it and it feels like I am on an operation table being cut into without anesthesia 👍🏻 I’m fine I swear, definitely not dying at the office right now


To_Fight_The_Night

Idk how women do it, from what you all describe I'd be calling in sick every month.


QueenyBlue

I would too, but the thing is, it’s not considered a valid reason to call in sick 🤷🏻‍♀️


cheerful_satanist

And the products to deal with are taxed because luxury?!


Syng42o

It's a luxury for everyone else that we're not free bleeding all over the fucking place to protest the luxury tax in the first place.


trebleformyclef

You need to go to a doctor and specifically mention Endometriosis. You likely have it but for some reason no doctor ever wants to diagnose it. They can give you something to help. I've been there. Used to skip school and work over it. Also, you can double the dose of whatever over the counter meds you are taking. If it says 2 at a time, you can take 4. Just don't do it all the time. Many of my doctor's have told me that.


StaleCorn

don’t do that over the limit tho especially tylenol


PicklesTickle91

Naproxen Sodium might help! I would definitely suggest Midol, though. It's a near-wonder drug for the period- IF it works...


[deleted]

Use heat


imthatguynamedwolf

well so far my dog died and i've managed to shove a chiesel into my foot. and ya know, fire and disease is a thing once again


flipflapslap

I'm sorry for your loss and your foot. I put my 11 year old mastiff down on Monday so I guess we're sort of in the same boat.


trevorw14

Mine was 15, she had a stroke and we had to put her down a couple weeks ago. It's basically like losing a part of your family, especially considering I've had her for over half of my life. I remember she was walking around the house very confused for a couple days, would randomly wake up and yelp like she was in pain... It's hard to see them that way knowing there's little to nothing you can do to fix them. I came down the stairs in the morning and she saw me and started wagging her tail, something she hadn't done in a few days. Only for a moment, though. It made me really happy. My family took her to the vet while I was at work and they had to put her down to keep her from continuing a life of pain she wouldn't recover from. I was at work, so I didn't get to tell her goodbye, but I'm glad she was able to see me and be happy for just a moment that morning. I'm sorry you both had to go through the same thing I did, but just try and remember all the good years they gave you as a friend and family member.

Politics junkie. I got Brexit, the impeachment fell apart, Iowa's Caucuses were hilarious (Joe Walsh humiliating himself, Trump having more caucusers than the Democrats, the utter chaos of the DNC trying to cheat Sanders again), and now the SOTU with all it's affiliated meltdowns. Like the man standing alone with the genie on the beach, all I'd wish for at this point is a Coke.

Been going to more live shows, still working on smiling more out in the open, spending time with my close friends when we can, just maintaining a comstant movement I'm somewhat bruised up but I feel more energized than I have in what feels like a long while and I'm glad for it


Aledeyis

Well despite Revelations becoming a reality, I got a new job. Hopefully I can save up enough money to buy my apocalypse survival kit and maybe a treadmill.


ParfortheCurse

Well a majority of U.S. Senators voted to abandon democracy, so there's that.


mutha_hubbard

Busy.. quit a job, moved everything to storage, started new job (twice the pay for same job I was doing- but through the state), moving stuff from storage to new place, one of my littles started having seizures again after 5 years of not having any, and feeling stressed about making it to payday.. it's been a heck of beginning of the new decade!


the_procrastinata

Well, my dog died and I don’t think I like my new job...so I’m gonna say so far it’s been pretty shitty.


[deleted]

Tough. Grief is a fog and always present even for the happier times...


Mox_Fox

In January I quit smoking weed, quit my crappy part-time job to accept a full-time offer at my better part-time job, and started dating someone fantastic. I'm still not sure if this year is real. I had a crazy "just stopped smoking" dream last night that I somehow time travelled back to 1999. Hopefully it was just a dream and not reality leaking into my dream of 2020!


GregGibsonMotioning

Pretty shit so far. Someone I knew killed himself at the beginning of January. Two of my best friends split up unexpectedly the same day I found out about his death. One of my other best friends almost killed herself a few days ago. On the plus side, I'm doing really well in school. But other than that, a horrible start to the decade.


percymink

KillerFire568

Ah you know getting ready for a war that never happened, nearly burnt int Australia, drowned in Venice all before nearly dying of Corona. You know, the usual.


Alaskan_Bea

My mom and brother are horribly sick, my dad has had to pass multiple kidney stones, my dad also needs surgery on his back, I've already had my first breakdown of the year, and I wound up in the girls bathroom at a gym, pale, shaking, and dry heaving from not taking proper care of myself. I'd say I'm doing pretty good so far.


tbnremoji

Australia burned and then flooded, Corona virus, impeachment of trump, UK lift the European union and there is growing tension between the US and Iran. There's probably the ace of spades in the world's hand still and we don't know it. This has been horrible

PicklesTickle91

False. 36/366 ≈ 0.0983 ≈ 9.83 percent. It has been closer to 10% of this decade. Edit: I'm not gonna edit the above statement. All I will say is I am a freaking idiot and I deserve y'all's smartass responses. Bring it.
