Confessions of a 890lbs Man
What’s your daily food intake like, can you give an example of a typical day’s meals you consume?
Food intake is all over the place. Typical day varies some but here’s an example:
Breakfast: a couple boxes of microwavable breakfast sandwiches and or hot pockets. Other times it’s hotdogs, eggs, potatoes, cheese and butter in a big bowl with a few bags of chips.
Mid morning meal usually a plate of corn dogs, rolled tacos and or chicken nuggets. Some more chips.
Lunch is usually a family meal from local Chinese or I get taco burrito packs from del taco. If not take out, I’ll have a few boxes of pasta with butter and cheese.
Dinner: 4 frozen pizzas with a few boxes of pasta with butter and cheese.
Dessert: a couple family pack of cookies, half gallon or two of ice cream.
Midnight meal usually a few microwavable meals.
Roughly a liter or two of coke or Dr pepper with every meal.
“How Do You Get Over a Really Attractive GF Who Cheated?”
I was with my ex for 7 years she’s 36 and I miss her all the time, I look at other women and they all seem like downgrades in comparison to my ex. She was perfect, great ass, great boobs slim waist, nice face. Everything about her physically was great, the internal not so much since she cheated on me and was manipulative and abusive at times.
But part of me still wants her and I am extremely jealous of the guy she cheated on me with as he is now with her in a relationship.
Whilst I can’t find anyone or am attracted to anyone. It’s been 8 months and I just feel stuck fantasising about her and what she’s doing and how I am never going to be with a woman as hot as her ever again in my life.
“My parents are never satisfied with me”
My parents have always had unspoken expectations for their kids. If someone in the family is doing well, it’s like I have to do better so they can stop feeling sorry for themselves. If someone buys something—like electronics, clothes, or a house—it’s on me to work harder and buy it for them too. I used to be okay with this because it seemed to make them happy, and if I could manage it, I didn’t mind.
The Most Important Thing a Child Learns Is How You Treat Them When They’re Difficult
The most important moments in parenting are usually not the happy ones.
Anybody can love a kid when they’re adorable. When they’re laughing in the backseat. When they draw you a crooked picture of a dinosaur and tell you it’s you. When they run into your arms at the end of the day like you’re the center of the universe.
That part is easy.
The real parenting happens when they’re difficult.

How Do Intelligence Agencies Recruit Spies?
Most people imagine spy recruitment happening like it does in movies.
A mysterious man in a dark suit approaches someone in a bar in Vienna. A coded phrase gets exchanged. A briefcase changes hands. Suddenly someone is betraying their country for millions of dollars.
Real intelligence recruitment is usually slower, quieter, and far more psychological than that.
“My friend blocked me after I questioned her babies’ paternity”
A few years ago, my close childhood friend gave birth to triplets. Her husband is a light Black man. Two of the babies had the same skin tone as her husband, and the third was much darker. That made me suspicious that her husband might not be the father.
“My uncle is marrying a prostitute…”
My divorced uncle decided to start paying for companionship.
He flew to Thailand and met a prostitute with a child and began paying her for frequent sexual encounters. She does not speak English, but that is not an issue. He does not care what she thinks.
He pays both her and her parents hundreds of dollars a month for her love and devotion. He is also including her in his will. He is rich, which I am sure has nothing to do with anything. She loves him for him. Not a gold digger or anything. And he loves her for her. It is definitely real.
