Losing weight

[CandiCame]

If we're talking about nutrition rather than just losing weight, a thing I do that's helped me, is I try to eat like my kid. Basically, if I wouldn't want BiteSize to eat it, I try not to eat it. Like a lot of people will say, with a pop in their fucking hand, "No you can't have another pop, it'll rot your teeth out!" And then they drink it. They know it's bad for them, they wouldn't give it to their kid, but they'll drink it. So I try to think like that. This advice assumes that you're a good parent.

Then I smoke, completely negating the entire effort.

It's not ironic. I still eat a bag of pixi styx at a time and I lost weight. Because it's just math and everything else is fooling yourself. Terrible for my teeth tho. Fun fact! If you run out of sugar, and you put pixi styx in your coffee; it will taste horrible. 1/10 do not recommend.

Math changes with age. Try eating like that in 15 years.

I have an 8 year old and a 5 year old and neither have ever had soda. I tell them it is a grown up drink (just like mommy's wine, lol).

That's what I mean. So if you ate like a kid you'd cut it out. And I ate waaaay more candy and cookies and stuff before BiteSize. Because I'm not just gonna eat junk food in front of her like a fucking monster. Especially if it's something that she would just strait up choke to death on. I mean I give her ice cream every so often but I don't eat it every day like I used to. The difference is, you actually give a shit about them. You don't give a shit about yourself. Or at least, that's my thing. And I think that works for a lot of parents.

Sugar itself isn't particularly bad for your teeth because it's washed away relatively easily. It's the starchy stuff that's bad for your teeth because it contains a lot of sugar but it also sticks to your teeth. Even gooey candy isn't as bad because it dissolves faster than breads, biscuits, cookies, crackers etc.

Bottom line regarding teeth: if you really want take good care of your teeth, floss, brush and rinse (in no particular order) after every meal, including snacks. Or at least floss. That gets the stuff that brushing misses around some of the more common areas to develop cavities.

Don't get me wrong though. The high calorie content and low nutritional content (e.g. none) of sugared sodas is enough reason to not drink them.

Actually, it's more that you should just pray for good genes. I've had shitty teeth my entire life and most risk factors are genetic, I've learned from a lifetime.

-If you have cancer, the treatments fuck up your calcium absorption forever and fuck up your teeth, so one genetic mutation fucks you forever
-if you have certain genes, your saliva is more acid and fucks you forever
-if you have certain genes your proteins in your salavia suck at adhearing to the things they're supposed to and just leave them to your teeth to rot
-if you have certain genes your face and mouth are smaller than they're supposed to be and your gums will be weaker because of it
-if you have certain genes your blood doesn't clot properly and changes the ph balance in your mouth because it seeps out around your gumline

There's a bunch of other shit but the truth is that over half of your tooth health is determined by your genes. CNN says 60% Tho other sources put that number much higher. Sometimes no matter how hard you work, how much you watch what you eat, life just fucks you.

That 60% is not a valid excuse to ignore the other 40%.

I'm starting to think that I don't even speak English. But some bizzaro version where everyone just hears the exact opposite of everything I say.

Also medications that slow and change your saliva. Thanks to medication to treat a result of a drunken driver car accident, I have to use magic mouthwash or else, although or else is happening big time this year.

That sucks! Tooth pain is awful. I've actually been out of work because of my goddamn teeth. That's how bad it was. I couldn't go work because I couldn't fucking talk. They took out all 4 roots and that didn't fix it so they had to do surgery, and then I wouldn't clot, and then I had a dry socket and now I have an implant. I still can't eat on that side of my face and there's still a big ass hole there. Teeth are ridiculous. We need to have teeth like cats where if you lose one you just grow a new one. Forever.

you cant eat with the implant?

Not until it heals up. I just recently moved on from the liquid diet. I'm just thankful for the ability to have any food at all. You know what's not great for losing weight? A diet consisting mostly of milkshakes and ice cream. Also, I misspoke. It's not an implant as in a fake tooth, it's a packing. Like where they put the painkiller in there and just pack it down. I can't have another tooth in there or anything tooth sized. This one fucked up so bad because there wasn't really room for it. My mouth is tiny so the teeth in the back suck because they're all crammed in. I've had problems with this bunch in particular since I was about 12. Inconvenient.

That is rather enlightening.

Even just losing 15 pounds I've noticed I get more attention from the opposite sex. Maybe its misleading and my own bias is at play (self esteem goes up as weight is shed) but I've noticed more looks from women when out and about.

It's a vicious cycle!

I've lost a lot of weight in the past two years, and I do notice a lot more women looking at me now. It's a wonderful boost to the self-esteem.

I know my opinion don't mean shit. But if that is you in your av you don't need to lose weight. Seem like you thick in all the right places. Just my thought.
