Come to Saint Paul 23 of the folks I see are 30 years old <| sep |> As a 25 year old gamer , I agree with you . Can ' t tell you the hours I spent on guitar hero 3 playing through the fire and flames JUST to get 5 stars on it . Repetition and replay value are what used to make games great . <| sep |> Hey you ' re not alone Most people who try to lose weight go through this . With friends there is often envy . I can talk to my naturally skinny and sporty friends . They are happy for me and tell me that my achievements are great , but I can ' t talk to my best friend , because she is 10 cm shorter than me and now I weigh a little bit less than her . So she says things like yeah I would not stop drinking to lose weight and count all my calories and do sports and all that because I want to actually enjoy my life That ' s hurftfull , but mostly jealousy talking because I ' m achieving something she isn ' t . Your mum probably thinks she is giving good advice , because everyone was thaught that breakfast is the most important thing in the world and she is probably worried that your doing it wrong and compromise your health . You should show her research on whar your doing and when she sees it ' s working for you she will definitely come around . The taboo of talking with obese people about their diet is mostly because today you pretend they aren ' t obese and don ' t judge them for it . So if you tell people you want to lose weight and they tell you that you should do that , they judge you for your appearance . Even worse , when you were to give up and stay overweight , you know that they think your fat . Nobody wants you to think that . So they just don ' t talk about it . But that ' s what that community is for We are here to support you on your journey and as soon as your friends see that your consistent about losing weight and getting healthier they will be able to talk to you about your weight .
