I wish duolingo had an option to turn off all the streak and competition elements because I find all that stuff distracting and upsetting

So my dash is doing a thing talking about how there are all kinds of studies showing weight loss is unsuccessful but not actually linking them

Is there actually something more recent than that one study from the 1950s saying 90some% of diets fail? I’ve gone looking for something more recent in the past and not found it.

Also iirc that 1950s study really didn’t define a diet clearly and carefully, though I’m not looking at the criticisms of it this second.

A lot of people use “diet” in different ways. Some people mean “any intended change in habits, such as smaller portions of desserts,” and some people mean “things called ‘diets,’ which prescribe specific patterns of eating, usually involving limiting, excising, or focusing on particular foods.”

Those seem different to me, though I’m open to examining something post 1960 that gives evidence they should be considered statistically identical and would gladly eat crow if it was unambiguous that these are the same.

resisted my compulsions almost entirely tonight. pretty incredible experience. I knew even giving myself a bit of leeway to do mental rituals would end up with me in the same place so I tried this instead. I thought this would cause huge mountains of anxiety but it has actually resulted so far in low-level background noise anxiety. not too bad. it can build and get worse but generally speaking if you don’t do the compulsions pretty immediately, even tiny amounts of rumination, you forget what most of your intrusive thoughts were only a few minutes later. I hope I can somewhat keep this up.

Oakydeer remains the one streamer whose stream I once watched most of while it was LIVE, rewatched the whole thing later as a VOD, then sat down a friend and rewatched it with them.

They're great and they're back and I am probably going to be very annoying about them.
