so usually when people talk about weight loss, they think about it in terms of “I want to be in X caloric deficit to lose Y lbs per week” I’ve never seen it framed as “I am going to eat at maintenance for someone of X weight until I reach that weight”

basically, if you want to be X person in your general social circle, it’s relatively easy to do that. however — going from being X person in your social circle to X person in a room full of people competent at X is much more difficult

@QiaochuYuan gotta start with the smallest possible executable step, and use the feedback from the experience to determine the next smallest possible executable step. usually you know this step is small enough because part of you may scoff at it.

maybe one thing I find helpful about this observation is that it decouples social reward from excellence, as someone who used to strive for excellence because I thought the social reward would scale

disentangling the two and realizing that social reward is pretty easy to attain allows you to pursue excellence in a skill for the right reasons (e.g. internal gratification vs external praise)

If you want kids, you need to do some serious math about when to end a relationship. Just 4 relationships in which you date for 1.5-2 years and spend 6 months-1 year grieving/meeting the next person will eat up a decade of your adult life.

how to accept the passage of time? up until this year, I felt like I had infinite time to spend. this year feels like waking up from a dream and realizing, hey I’ve already spent the majority of my 20’s. now I’m frequently fretting about aging, which does not seem productive.

sharing what has been stuck inside of you feels liberating, like you just lifted a weight off your shoulders. conversely, keeping things in (emotions, ideas or values you aren’t expressing fully) feels heavy, like there is a wet blanket draped over your ability to express freely.

the thing I did not communicate well here is that I'd imagine doing this incrementally -- e.g. if losing 50lbs, doing this at 10lbs increments and intentionally plateauing until you're used to the new maintenance calories, vs a consistent deficit
@simulatedsnow
snow
2 months
@PiquantParvenu yeah! and it's better for setting milestones -- like I'm going to eat at maintenance for a person 10lbs lighter than me today, and then once you reach that goal maybe chill there for a bit until it's easy, and repeat
