Definitely hear that. That's not bad at all for 27 lbs through 3 months. Yep, and that's the deal. We're saving some money and also eating less **** food since I eat less **** food now lol. Kudos on the weight loss for you and the wife all around.
Don't need that (yet). I usually get to my ideal weight in March and hold it until November, when the holiday season kills me. It's just a cycle I go through. I can restrain myself when I have to, but I can somehow dupe myself into eating like a fool during the holidays. I just look forward to the day when I'm mature enough to restrain myself for the last 2 months of the year. This year, I told myself, "no sweets!" But that was a ****ing joke. I ate a year's worth of sweets in 2 months.
Not so funny story. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic 7 years ago right before my wedding in November. Got married, ate and drank like a fool over the holidays. Felt a horrible pain in my belly. Went to the ER, first time ever, and got diagnosed with ketoacidosis and spent the next 5 days in ICU with an insulin drip and a morphine drip just for added fun. I can honestly see how people get addicted to opiates. Cut beer and pasta from diet got off of daily injections, and take1 Rybelsus daily. I'm now in good enough shape to be an NFL kicker.
Spent too much in December. Trying to see if I can slow down on the dating. Season tickets kicking in for a few things (LOVB Houston Volleyball, Houston Roughnecks) fairly soon. Insane dinner bill for New Year's (Turner's Cut, but it was a great meal). My seasoning cabinet is overfilled
I had relationships like that when I was younger, although it usually ended because it became physical, which wrecks the balance. Those were some good times. Now, given my wife's proclivity to be jealous/possessive I keep strong boundaries up when I meet women who I think I could be friends with, and that happens a lot in the social circles I travel in now. Probably better that way. Not sure why these repressed women find a man who will further repress them. Actually, I do get it, they have daddy issues. My best friend had a thing for repressed girls with daddy issues, or maybe they had a thing for him; he would turn them out in the swinger scene, then complain when they were gone because they got tired of hard drugs and orgies and decided to settle down with some sugar daddy. Rinse, repeat.
Opiates are incredibly addictive - I compare it to being freezing cold and naked and there being a warm bath next to you with a beautiful woman in it calling you to get into the water.
Well - I am sure part of the reason I have fond feelings about my time with her is that I never pursued it turning into a long-term physical thing and in the past that is exactly what would happen. It would come up and I would want to have sex with women and we would have sex and then it would continue down that path and it would either ruin the friendship or complicate everything. That did not happen with this girl, and it wasn't because she isn't attractive - as she is attractive... but she was vulnerable and I didn't exploit it and I guess that kind of set course for me with my female friends going forward after that point. As for why so many of these girls are this way? Some have daddy issues - and some, like this one, she grew up in a situation where her father was overbearing and her entire community told her that is "normal" where the man makes all decisions, where his needs and interests come before the wife and children and where the wife has to take a backseat in all things. There are some women like that naturally and if their husband isn't exploitative, it works..... but this girl isn't like that naturally, she is more independent and makes good decisions when she isn't pressured.... I think she married whom she did because of low self esteem, believing that she is a **** up like everyone said and because she believed he would make her a better person. As for your friend - yeah, there are certain guys that are catnip for girls with Daddy issues and it can be great for a mans ego to know that he can get a woman to do anything he wants and anything to please him - be that emotionally or sexually - it is a sense of power. However - I cannot live with myself doing that to someone. I have done some highly immoral things, but always with people that reached that level of depravity on their own and without my guidance. Will I hangout with a girl that is a decent person and just likes to get spun? Sure - maybe, but I am not going to be the one showing her how to inhale vapors or where to find it.
