Randomly came up with the idea to start this journal of some random thoughts I have . Feel free to discuss something if you want. I wanted to name this “random thots” first to be a little funny for those who know the meaning but then figured nah it’s not that funny , or maybe . I’m laughing at it for some reason😂

Maybe try the more organic route of developing a social circle and finding girls that way.
-
Yes☺️
-
Hahah yea right . I see it though as the calorie deficit is working 😹
-
When I don’t eat much my energy tends to feel okay but what happens is that I get “dizzy” or whatever it’s called when I stand up if that makes sense. I’ve also considered doing some strength training. Apparently building muscle increases metabolism so it’s good for staying lean too
-
Hahaha that doesn’t happen to me, not anymore. But maybe it balances things out for you. You’re slim so it doesn’t seem you eat in excess
-
Yea I remember you mentioned that. For me that’s the sweet spot too, I don’t see the need for more. You’re quite slim yourself so it makes sense. I forgot to add but on weekends I tend to eat even once per day and something sweet. And it’s working for me I don’t get hungry.

Pain feels very real, suffering feels very real. But I’m suggesting it’s the self that makes all of this feel real, that’s what I think -
67: The calorie deficit is working. I don’t track my calories as I find it a bit too much work having to count all the details. But what I have done is just minimize my portion sizes, and only eating twice a day no snacks. I kinda follow the plate model so I fill half my plate with veggies, 1/4 of the plate protein then 1/4 carbs like pasta, rice , potato, and then some healthy fat like olive oil or avocado. It keeps the calories less and the portion sizes adequate but smaller than usual. I started of weighing like 68/69 kg and now I weigh 66 so I’m down like two kilos. My next goal is to limit dessert to once a week. Maximum twice. Usually I eat some form of sweets Friday, Saturday and Sunday so three times but I feel that’s a bit too much. 1 would be ideal max two as I said. Im not even hungry it has been very easy to eat less. I have incredibly stable energy levels and I feel very healthy. So im looking forward to loosing more weight

Because you feel real. The self is the base sense of solidity that gives rise to all other sense of solidity and otherness. So the question should be to investigate this self, why do “I” feel real? Is closer to getting to the core of the issue. -
See school as the opportunity to build self discipline and a good work ethic. So it’s not the subject at focus but rather the underlying skills that come from studying rigorously, that could give you a purpose for doing it. That’s kind of what I did

I doubt we’ll live long enough to experience this. If the climates change doesn’t kill us this will probably happen in the future as society evolves -
Yea that’s not what I meant😹
-
What was your interpretation of me writing “organically” like you and your chemistry talk?😹
-
Yea exactly. She might not be in the mood for flirtatiousness with a stranger, as you said she’s out with the girls for the girls. So sometimes it’s not about the guy, the guy can be decent and she can still reject
-
It means looks is not all that matters. Sometimes girls just don’t like getting hit on they wanna get to know a guy through other means like organically through social circle the very act of getting hit on can be tad uncomfortable I think
-
I understand it can be hard I can relate to that, as someone who doesn’t feel hunger much. But I think in general if you could drop all the “rules” around food, and instead just eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re adequately but not too full. Sometimes it happens I eat once a day when I follow this, and it’s okay. No rules as I said. Hunger is not to be mistaken for cravings , that can be a hard distinction to make, signs of hunger could be low energy and stomach sounds. Important to have a healthy diet overall so you don’t get significant sugar crashes. Reducing stress it’s important too because that could affect your cravings and hunger in my experience Drop the idea that it’s dangerous to fast or be a little hungry, some people think that, as if you need to eat often to avoid hunger, but we can survive some time without food it’s not dangerous . Depends also what your goal physique is, for example I like to be quite lean so that entails eating a bit less but still adequate, we’re not starving over here. You can be healthy with a little bit of chub too which would entail eating more , but still healthy foods which is important. Because it’s a bit harder to overeat on healthy foods as they’re more nutritious and satiating. When people overeat we have to take into account they might be eating a lot of ultra processed foods which is easier to overeat as they contain more calories and can be less satiating I like to sometimes follow the plate model, so it’s like half the plate veggies, 4th of the plate some starch like rice or potato, then 4th of plate protein and a little healthy fat. This keep portions moderately large and with moderate calories because veggies have less calories. It’s science behind the plate model
-
Okay I see, so like the sum of the individuals life story is their karma, which shapes who they are That’s wild. Yea if he realizes no self a lot of survival agenda goes away
-
I still don’t really understand what karma means lol But yea everyone is different and see different worth in different paths What do you mean to a suicidal degree? Like he didn’t care about living because he had no self?

Gaining it back could happen if you don’t watch what you eat. Caloric deficit is not sustainable but it’s only temporary to lose weight, then when you reach desired weight you’ll increase calories and eat at maintenance. I plan on counting my calories when I reach my desired weight so I know how much I need to eat for maintenance. I think that could work Becoming strong is a good goal in general I should incorporate some strength training too
-
From what I’ve heard more muscle mass means higher metabolism, so that’s maybe what you mean? You mean calorie deficits do the opposite, slow down metabolism? Maybe I don’t know but it’s necessary to lose weight and it’s working for me I’m already down a little. If I eat too much I will gain weight But bottom line athleticism is important I’m trying to gain better conditioning and I might start strength training down the road
-
I’m still trying to lose weight I’m following a caloric deficit . Diet is most important for weight loss. Ive started to workout like 3-4 times a week. It’s spelled “SKINTY” btw😹 I can get the Leo part. Not the first part but it’s ok. You mean accomplishment requires suffering maybe. It can be attractive to look tough yes ”women are from mars men from Venus” right
-
Intuitively intense exercise seems good to me. I’ve gotten much better conditioning because of it It is a bit masochistic what they do yes. Courtney has said in an interview she ENJOYS that place they get to go to in ultra running where it “hurts really bad” she has ran so hard she cried of pain even. She’s crazy yes. David Goggins is the craziest. Pro bodybuilding lowkey looks ridiculous but each to their own. Combat sport seems masochistic and sadistic lol. That’s kinda crazy too. If I’d be an elite athlete it be long jump or something
-
Your own mind, your own jokes
-
Isnt intense exercise good for heart and lung health, building that vo 2 max or whatever its called, when you go to your own limit? Not like David goggins but intense for your own standard
