I just went to my calorie counting account and tried to figure out why I couldn’t finished tracking calories for yesterday… and it was because I did it last night. Like a responsible person.
SMART.
Do I have the nads to wear the too tiny shirt outside today???
HI MOXY!!! I’m so sorry about Fatten. But I’m reblogging this pic to talk about that damn rhino graphic I’ve been seeing around here.
1. Rhinos are perfect the way they are. Nature made them that way to survive intensely harsh conditions including deserts where few other species can thrive. They are badasses, feared by pretty much all other animals. Few predators can touch them. And yeah, they are chunky. You’ll never see a thin rhino, because their bodies are made to be that way: massive and intimidating.
2. Unicorns are NOT REAL.
So this is a picture of a creature which is already perfectly embodying its own body-type, dreaming of transforming itself into something which does not even exist. There’s literally no amount of work that would accomplish this dream. It’s literally impossible. That’s what literally means: actual, in real life. That’s what impossible means: not at all possible. This is literally impossible. (Other examples: it is literally impossible for me to grow a third arm; it is literally impossible for me to win the lottery if I do not buy a ticket; it is literally impossible for me to flap my buttocks and fly away.) It is literally impossible for the rhino to become a unicorn.
So what, exactly, is this graphic saying? At first, you might think it’s saying, “dream big dreams, work hard and achieve them.” But as we have already seen, this dream is (say it with me now) LITERALLY UN-ACHIEVABLE. So what’s the message, then? “You are a rhino, a large, lumpy, wrinkly, fat, big-nosed creature, and no amount of work will turn you into a slender, white, sleek creature.”
Oh, that’s really nice. Thanks for that encouragement.
This message should in no way be construed as having any negative slant towards Moxy, who is awesomeness personified. Literally. Say hi to the Cube Ninja for me.
I LOVE to see weightloss blogs who get it!!!! Thank you for existing, blissmanifesto.

This is what insanity suggests you use. Take off 500 a day to lose 1lb a week :)
(You should also times this by your activity level)
I don’t count calories anymore, but this is really helpful if you do! Mine is 1,492.8 (or basically 1500)
mines 1,590.. wtf i thought it was like 1200
Mine came out to 2000 :3 But if I understand, that is the number you need to exist AT YOUR CURRENT WEIGHT (since that is part of the formula). So that first comment up there makes sense, if you decrease it by 500, then that’s what you need to eat to lose weight. It’s not really giving you a dangerous low though, for people who are very small as it is, does it? There’s gotta be a better formula somewhere…
mine’s 1643. to clarify, that’s how many you’d need if you were laying in bed all day. this doesn’t take into account any sort of moving you do!
Wow mine’s 1609…I should be eating more! No wonder I always seems to lose weight after cheat days!
My BMR is about 2100, according to this, which means my intake is about right for gradual weight loss. :) Coolio!
