No wonder my coworkers at Accolade/Infogrames/Atari (same company, different owners, multiple personality disorder) accused me of not being a team player when I got my certifications and went back to school to learn computer programming. I still had some grey matter left when I made my career transition to clean out IT closets.
The problem is, it's not the job that you pick that matters. It's when someone ELSE hands you a job, not when you decide to become a janitor because your Asperger brain decided it.
I'm afraid you don't understanding how contracting work. I pick the jobs I want to do. If the employer wants me to do something I don't want to do, I find another job.
And since your weight loss regimen involves eating ridiculously high amounts of refined and processed sugar - nearly half of your claimed caloric intake is power bars and skinny vanilla lattes - chock full of sugar and rapidly digested carbs.
Actually, one-third. You're aware that a skinny vanilla latte is non-fat milk with an espresso shot and the skinny vanilla is sugar-free syrup? The equivalent to cup of yogurt?
It's easier to give useful advice on weight loss (which is really simple - eat less) than being a 47 year old virgin (surely there are deep-seated issues and at this age/weight, realistically a prostitute is your only option) or making a livable wage that includes health insurance (which is situational) or your lack of sufficient retirement savings (which is difficult for anybody, not just you).
Again, I have no interest in creating content for your blog and lining your pockets. I won't produce a long, well-written post for your blog so that you can reap the financial rewards.
If you had commented on my blog, I would have deleted it as spam. I usually get two to three weight loss comments per week from self-righteous people who think it's their God-given right to harangue me about my weight.
And, in the meantime, your high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides & cholesterol are all putting undue stress on your body, making it harder to get the rest and exercise you need.
Your assumptions are wrong. I'm feeling great since I lost 13 pounds over the last 13 weeis. I'm looking forward to losing a pound this week, the next week and the week thereafter.
However, I'm skeptical that you will be able to keep it up for 3-4 years, considering your entire life you have weighed 325+.
I was 400 pounds as teenager. I lost 70 pounds the summer I got a new bike at 16. My riding weight was 325 pounds when I rode 100+ miles per week for three years.
What makes you think that at 47, you've found the magic mantra, and it's as simple as "a pound a week!"
Because I've been fine tuning a low-carb diet and exercise program for the last five years.
Or keep doing what you're doing, losing small snouts of weight before pouring it back on, and be wheelchair bound, soon.
This is what the CDC has to say about weight loss (keep in mind that I lost 13 pounds in 13 weeks):
It's natural for anyone trying to lose weight to want to lose it very quickly. But evidence shows that people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping weight off. Healthy weight loss isn't just about a "diet" or "program". It's about an ongoing lifestyle that includes long-term changes in daily eating and exercise habits.
Creimer, I posted a lengthy, thoughtful set of advice on what you should do to ensure you live to see 57.
Yesterday it was 54. I wish you trolls would make up your collective minds (or lack thereof) about this stuff. Am I a fat virgin or fat fuck today?
That makes them fair game for discussion.
Feel free to carry the discussion on my blog.
If you choose to ignore it, you're only shortening your life.
Which I've been hearing about for the last 48 years of my life. If it wasn't ten, it was 20. If it wasn't 20, it was 30. If it wasn't 30, it was 40. If it wasn't 40, it was 54 or 57.
Why would I read your blog post and comment there?
If you have read my blog, you would have read this passage:
Or maybe it's losing a pound per week. When I first got my digital bathroom scale, I weighed 370 pounds. I now weigh 357 pounds after 13 weeks. I've always felt the need to take a nap after working out at the gym on the weekends. The last time I felt this good physically was in my twenties when I rode my bicycle 100+ miles per week and my riding weight was 325 pounds. While my typical weekday isn't as physically demanding as my weekend workouts, perhaps my body during the week requires nap time to build muscle and burn fat.
That's how I know you didn't read my blog post. You posted a rant about what I should do without ever considering what I've already done because you're just a self-righteous troll.
I've often had to deal with people that my coworkers didn't want to deal with.
When I did help desk, I got the users who wanted to rant and rave for 15 minutes. While they're ranting and raving, I'm quietly fixing their problem in the background. They're often shocked that I did fix their problem — and raved to management that I was a miracle worker.
As a lead video game tester, I had the older testers who were married with kids and/or grandkids. Older testers want to be listened to and their ideas for testing taken seriously. People skills that younger lead testers haven't acquired yet.
Having worked at Google, "The Internship" was utter BS. Especially the part where it shows going back and forth between Mountain View and San Francisco as a short Google bike ride without breaking a sweat. Experienced bikers could make that commute in 30 minutes but would require taking a shower.
Local corruption in elections has been a mainstay in U.S. politics since the American Revolution. Russian interference is a far more serious threat to the country as a whole. Any article that tries to take attention away from Russia is drivel.

You're aware that sugar-free foods are actually worse for you?
That's why I read all the labels.

Again, this doesn't add up. You lost 70 pounds in a summer, but then just "sat" at 325 for 3 years?
I maintained 325 pounds for 20 years while riding a bike everywhere.
The body, and physics, and reality, don't work this way.
You think?

Its easy to make assumptions based on ignorance.
His narcissism, megalomania, and OCD also add to the fictional reality that is creimer.
FTFY
It took you FIVE YEARS to "fine tune" a process that got you 13 pounds over those five years?
It took me five years to get to where I am to lose a pound per week effortlessly.
I'll bet he loses 5 pounds in sweat just from the effort of squeezing out a log from his toned cyclist's ass.
Diamonds, bro. Diamonds. I'm not building a cabin out in the woods.

Character matters, as much as you've tried to assert it doesn't.
Getting the job done is a true test of character.
This CPU will deliver phenomenal performance but only during solar eclipses.
5 years of fine tuning, and you weight 350+? Your fine tuning doesn't work.
Let's ignore the fact that I lost 13 pounds in the last 13 weeks to dwell on the past.
And fundamentally, weight loss is simple, there's nothing to fine-tune.
If weigh loss was simple, there wouldn't be a weight loss industry.
Your neck is going to look like George Lucas' neck.
You can fill that under, "People Who Need to Get A Life".

Until it is the last time you hear it.
That's 72 more years. *sigh*
Have you ever considered the notion that you weren't hired because they think you're a flaming asshole?
I wouldn't be working in IT if I wasn't an asshole. Someone has to get the job done.

"my skinny vanilla latte"
Racist.
Especially since the black woman barista is always hitting the "white chocolate" button before correcting it to a latte with extra syrup.
I've often had to deal with people that my coworkers didn't want to deal with.
