    So would you say that smut can be gratifying and purposeful? That's mostly what I mean to ask, since I've seen a lot of advice that says there's no reason to really get into a sex scene in writing unless you're writing porn.

    That's debatable, but I don't put stock in most horoscopes. Now birth charts, on the other hand...

    I'm gonna give this thread back to the rest of the forum now :'D I think we're pretty much on the same page, and the bottom line is it all takes personal effort and the determination not to be malicious to others, even out of hurt. Good talk.

    I understand what you're trying to say. I think it's a good lesson to teach, I just worry that it may itself be used as an excuse to shame and criticize people who have trouble losing weight for whatever reason.

    This all looks good on paper, but something crucial is missing. Yes, it is all in your head. Yes, we make mountains out of molehills by overthinking them. So? Recognizing that doesn't always make the problem easier to solve. This is something people with anxiety, depression, or really any form of mental illness of any severity may run into; your head is not perfectly under your control.

    Until I started taking medicine a few months ago, I hadn't the motivation to do much of anything. I didn't take care of myself, I didn't do anything fun or productive... I just ate, slept and surfed the web. I tried to overcome it with willpower, recognize that my reluctance to do things for myself was my own design, but something kept me from getting the ball rolling. Chemicals that I couldn't will into place made me in turn lethargic and hypersensitive. All of the techniques my therapist recommended to me, all of the mantras I tried repeating to myself, none of them worked... until I got a boost.

    Eventually, I had to look at myself and make the executive decision. I had to recognize that willpower was not working, and opt to try something else. And I'm fortunate enough to have loving parents who will go to any length to ensure my health and well-being. But I found out, in the end, that medicine is what it took—no more and no less. What if someone in the same situation couldn't afford it? Would you still tell them to power through it? You can't heal a broken leg by telling yourself it's not that bad. (Well, some people probably have, but that's a whole other sack of potatoes)

    Honestly man, some people have body types that don't let them thin out. Like I said, I'm big-boned; I can lose all the weight I want but I'll probably still be a little pudgy in the end. That or malnourished. It's not about encouraging people not to take responsibility imo, it's about celebrating our differences and letting people be happy with something they really can't control. I'm not talking about people who are 400 lbs, mind you, there's no excuse for that. But for instance, I'm 6' and 310 and I don't believe I'm in any danger of a heart attack. I'm developing better eating habits daily, and I've drastically cut back on my sodium intake and general portions; but I'm probably not gonna drop below 290 just from that, which will probably still leave me looking fat.

    I'm trying to think of ways to help identify people who change names frequently. Working under the assumption that the username history field will remain as it is (which is probably for the best, especially for people like me who've been b& before and had to restart), I thought of this idea. Basically a field where you list what people typically call you or what you'd like to be called.

    The way this would differ from username history is that the latter serves purely informative purposes, while the former can also be a convenience for the user, thus there is a different incentive to use it—not necessarily a better incentive, but one that may appeal to more people and thus see more widespread use.

    Trufax. I'm especially guilty of it and I'm trying to catch myself more often. A bad argument is one with no questions in it, good discourse is at least half-&-half.
