A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Yeah. After I sobered up I went through about 3 years of intense training (may have had a hyperfixation) ... I was down to an A-cup, just lean muscle and bone. After a normal training session I'd get the greasiest half-pound double cheeseburger with bacon money could buy.
These days I look at a stick of celery wrong and put on weight :-/
Yeah, I looked like a piece of leather wrapped around a stick when I was training that hard. And I pretty much just lived on takeout
And yeah, 10 years later, older, no longer anywhere near that fit, and even as I train for a half marathon, it's hard to shift my weight to where I want it to be for my race
Well done for taking on a half marathon!
I'm just trying to keep my old baby bulge in check, lol
Had a friend training for Iron Man. He'd do like 15 mile bike in to work (and back), 5 mile run at lunch, and swim in the evening. Dude would eat sticks of butter straight out of the refrigerator for lunch. I couldn't watch.
