Is "CICO" a well-kept secret?

[EiFit91]

I'm probably not going to get married just because statistically "something against would-be wife's will" is going to result in that outcome, probably with an undeserved loss of property as well.

Now you are starting to sound like a Miscer, should we worry?

Your version of «sloots gonna sloot» sounds more sophisticated though lol

Hopefully that impression stops here.

That's just an issue that very much rubs me the wrong way, especially the dishonesty about the inherently selfish motive.

Sometimes I say “good” when people ask “how are you?” Even if I’m having a bad day

I’m going to hell

Sometimes I say “good” when people ask “how are you?”

I say "Every day is a like a Friday, it feels like I've been working all week. I'm busier than a prostitute on a pirate ship."

No…you’re doing the right thing. This way no one can EVER complain about you.

“Hey you see Adam?” “Yeah man guy’s doing good, always has”

I always say I’m good even when my life was an absolute disaster.

And as soon as my reps recharge sir, very much appreciated!!!

CICO isn't a secret. The fact that there are no shortcuts is the secret.

I notice that half the time someone (who's not an actual friend) asks "how are you?" as we pass each other quickly in a hallway or on the sidewalk etc., I just say "hey, how are you?" in response. Almost like a greeting both ways since neither of cares how the other is doing.

It’s like when the Brits say “you alright, mate?”

I dunno, they usually say "cheerio, would you like a cup of tea?" to me.

You mean a “spot” of tea?

Or, “a cup’a”?

Was going to say “cup o’ “ but it came out Irish.

The oohnly thyng in ther is the look o' the Irish!

[GayCumLord]

it depends.


you can go astray adding in back calories from cardio and overestimating how much your body really burned.


Plus doing consistent cardio is going to lower your TDEE

I kissed the Blarney Stone. Had to lay on my back and some tour guides shoved me in a crevice at the top of a tower and someone else took a picture. The pictures were developed and for sale at the bottom of the tower. This is before digital cameras and wifi.

A friend was looking to rent his basement and was interviewing a couple of college kids.

"Ah, so you two are going to flat together?"
".... No, we're just friends."

I speak to a few people who say they have "tried everything"

I then talk about cico and weighing and measuring their foods, at which point they say it sounds too inconvenient or difficult. Which means not only have they NOT tried everything, but they're also not willing to do one of the easiest and most basic things.

Oh but they will spend a literal fortune making sure of this on their own.

“I’ve tried everything” is another way of saying “I’ve tried everything I’m willing to try”

There is kind of a joke about germans that I found out was actually true. In America, you ask how people are and 99.999% of people will say “good” or “fine” like a reflex no matter how they are doing, and the person asking doesnt care, they are just asking because it’s what they are “supposed to do”. If you ask someone in Germany the same question they will usually tell you all their ailments, how their big left toe hurts, and 10 other things. Its like they actually mean what they are saying, something is Americans just aren’t prepared for.

LOL, this is so accurate

The best response to this is “Well, I am” but in a less casual setting I wouldn’t offer anything less than “I’m fine” but “good” is too hilariously false. Always follow it up with an “and yourself?” to throw it right back at them while spicing up this stupid script with a dash of compassion. We’re all in hell already.

I have a close German friend, and this holds true in my experience.

I used to work with a guy who liked to mess with people. He would ask people how they were doing and when they said the obligatory “good” or “ fine” he would get closer and his face would get serious and his voice would lower and he’d ask “no, how are you really doing?” It was interesting how some people would react, some people would laugh and some people would just freeze up.

I would take them up on their offer and unload. Buddy get ready, you’re about to get rained on while I bitch up a storm.

Reply back and say "Tell your wife I said thanks for the fun the other night while you were working late."

That almost got me killed 25 years ago. I was having fun with a guys wife while he was working late.

It actually did get you killed, that is why you are here. Didn’t you wonder how you “survived”?

I did end up in the hospital, and so did the other guy. That was probably the worst thing that happened to me that month.
