My mother has tried every dad diet under the sun, and is convinced that she gained weight last summer because warm weather destroys your metabolism. So yeah.

I have a very dear friend who is (was?) a genuine bona fide HAES type. It was one of those awkward things where I never exactly hid my shitlord tendencies but I also noped out of certain conversations and feared it might come to a confrontation. But then she actually did lose weight for health reasons and seems quite happy about it so idk. I'm happy for her but afraid if I tell her that she'll be offended.

My partner doesn't really have fatlogic and knows perfectly well how calories work but he has certain stubborn behaviors that make me want to slam my head against the wall. He actually has "outrun the fork" before by just doing a fuckton of endurance athletics, but lately he's gained a lot and keeps bitching about it but refuses to address it any way except for with intense activity that takes most of a day to do. But it's winter and he has a full time desk job. So you can guess how well that's going. He refuses to even consider addressing his intake. I suggested MFP and he said it was "too time consuming." Whyyy.
