This was me as an OCD car detailer, moving cars around the small lot... until they drilled into me that we ARE the repair shop... if the shop breaks something minor... they just fix it

anyhoo

Because my OCD demands a clean and orderly Sift.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Fascinating. I'm struck by how messy everything is. If you had even a little bit of OCD, I think this place would drive you nuts. They need interior designers.

I poked around. Nothing was said. I got a distinct feeling of OCD from that site....

Or as James Franco has re-named it -- CDO. So it is alphabetical.

OCD is no laughing matter, kymbos

I'm typically not one for anecdotal evidence myself, but I don't need to rely on it. There is very little data on successful techniques for long term weight loss. Here's an example. Now, not everyone will interpret these results in the same way that I do. On my reading, people that maintained weight loss needed to check their weight, reduce their fat intake, and expend more energy than people that are naturally weight stable at that weight. In fact, people that lost weight, and regained it had effectively the same habits as people that are weight stable at the lower weight. In other words, weight stable fat people and weight stable thin people exercise and eat the same amounts. Granted, there were some that were able to maintain this increased activity level and highly restrictive diet, however I would suspect if you were to investigate that group you would likely find a higher incidence of psychological issues surrounding body-image, and likely an increased incidence of OCD. Now if your claim is true, the people that lost weight down to an average of 167 pounds or so (the average weight of the weight stable controls), should have been able to have equivalent habits to those controls and maintain that weight as their BMR should be equivalent. Clearly the data shows your claim to be false. They need to maintain an increased activity level and lower fat intake in order to maintain the same weight.

@bmacs27 You're using every cliche in the book. Basal Metabolic Rates vary in negligible amounts between people of the same gender, age, height, and weight. If your body doesn't get the energy it needs from an outside source, it will break down itself for fuel. And your anecdotal evidence means very little. Argue all you want about how body fat has little to do with health, but don't go saying some people can't lose it (genetic conditions notwithstanding).

@Duncan And yet this is the commonly suggested course of action for those overweight. Eat 1000-1200 calories a day, and exercise. That's a recipe for disaster. Further, your claim that if you intake fewer calories than you expend you will lose weight. This is not necessarily true. Your body is not a bunsen burner. That's why we have terms like "metabolism" as in so and so has a high metabolism or a low metabolism. In other words, some people can eat and eat and eat, and their body will simply convert the excess energy into heat. For others, that energy is stored as fat. My claim is that there are people for whom prolonged caloric restriction will not result in continued weight loss. Instead the body will continue to store the energy it receives as fat and your brain will be deprived of the energy it needs to allow activity levels necessary to burn anything off. Even with continued restriction. There are cases (e.g. with OCD patients) that prolonged weight loss can be achieved, but often it's simply impossible.

With regards to "life-style change," I agree. It's necessary. However, losing weight isn't. Much more success has been reported encouraging an active lifestyle. Eat until you are sated. That's okay (assuming you don't have a broken sensory system in that regard). People that pursue this approach will usually not lose weight, but they will become healthy. All of their bio-markers (e.g. cholesterol) often come into check. They are active, happy, and healthy. Yet still, people would somehow feel justified sending them a letter telling fatty to get off their ass.

I'll give an example. I watched my girl eat 1200 calories a day for six months. She's 5'2" at 180. The first month of this brought her down to 165/170, but the following five brought her no further. I watched her. She measured every meal with a measuring cup. She's also a geneticist, so she knows a thing or two about the relevant biochem. She was depressed as hell, and her activity level dropped. She was miserable and didn't even really lose substantial weight.

Now, she bikes at least 10-12 hilly miles a day, swims a couple miles three times a week, and does yoga. She eats when she's hungry and stops when she's full. She eats healthily for the most part, but rewards herself with a sweet now and again. Every measure known to correlate with health shows that she is healthy despite her weight. People call her fat all the time. There's just no need. Her doctor doesn't, because many doctors these days know BMI is a bullshit measure. She's not a weird case. I mentioned by buddy the pullup champ in a previous post. The dude was vegetarian in boot camp. He doesn't have an ounce of fat on him, and can do effectively perpetual pushups. He's technically "obese." For a medical term, it's about as useful as "idiot."

The fact is evidence is mounting that your disposition towards retaining fat probably has more to do with what was eaten by your mother during pregnancy than anything you do in your lifetime (other than maybe early childhood). Your body has a weight it would like to keep, and it will succeed in keeping it. If people would just change the societal pressure towards becoming healthy rather than losing weight people doomed to carry extra pounds wouldn't have to feel like outcasts, and would probably be more likely to pursue the correct goal. Instead, most people here seem to think it's okay to berate strangers about their weight. Let them talk to their doctor. If their doctor is good with it, you probably should be too.

@scannex Dude... are you really citing a marketing campaign for weight loss pushers? I bet you I could find data that shows the effectiveness of penis enhancement pills too. If you took a few you might find you like 'em thick ;-). Try some primary literature, and I'll respond in kind.

Try to refute this claim: "Overweight or mildly obese individuals with otherwise normal bio-markers show no decrease in life expectancy from normal."

If you can't, then tell me why it is okay to berate someone about their weight knowing nothing about their health overall?

Anybody who is remotely OCD would be checking their phone every few minutes to make sure their house is locked.

I'm afraid your child has severe OCD. Recovering will be a challenge, but you can always start by not giving him medals for it.

This video depicts the disturbing mental retardation of puppies generated from puppy mills. Goddamn sick fucks.


Ok dude, firstly, it's a great dog as alll are when trained according to breed properly. This dog was bred for show and is a non-sporting (useless otherwise) kinna endeavor. THat this pup, fed and exercised well and happy as fuck goes apeshit for a big red bouncy ball???...He's better off than most of them poncy one's that go to shows and get hammered with OCD owners and hairspray....

So he can;t round hurdles for the judges and jump around on a lead n turn corners...Little fuckers havin' a life n his charges look like they're entertained....BEST OF BREED!!, EVOLUTION iN aCTION, baby...

What he was actually doing was marking crosses on various parts of his body... with saliva.
It really pains me that this religious tard is representing America in the Olympics. Granted there are plenty of religious tards in America, so this guy is actually representing America... just the ignorant superstitious part of it.
This is a perfect example of reducing religion to its core principle... control. This guy is crossing himself in the hopes (deluded and baseless as they are) that it will prevent any accidents and/or help him perform better. He is seeking to remove himself from the seemingly chaotic nature of the universe where events may/will occur beyond his illusory control by giving himself a ritual that he believes will protect him. It's no different then people who have OCD and have to do things a certain way or certain number of times. Heck, all sorts of athletes have things like this... his is just religious. It's all about control. "If I do this, I can exert a form of control that will prevent bad things from happening."
But... you can't. Control is an illusion. Bad things will happen. You deal with them. You learn from them. You move on. Unless you're a religious tard who does the same thing over and over, thinking that, "I must have missed crossing myself somewhere.", or "Last time it was because I didn't use enough saliva when I crossed my leg.", or "Maybe God doesn't like the sports drink I had before crossing myself and he would prefer Orange over Grape... yeah, I'll drink Orange next time!". Yes, I'm aiming for a laugh or a chuckle... but the reality is that this practice... is just as absurd.
Look at you... you came in here looking to laugh at the oddity of a guy appearing to rub his own saliva on himself and you got all this. Sorry bout that.
Crazy guy licking himself! omg! Ewwww! ; p


Well he's representing his country...and there's tons of religious people in the country sooo it makes sense.
