As an adult, you have the money but not the time. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 16 points 5 days ago (1 child) or the metabolism permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 days ago* (1 child) It's the metabolism one. I could consume 4000 kcal most days as a teenager without putting on weight. That is no longer the case and adjusting has been difficult. I'd need to go near 2000 to lose weight. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago Yeah, as a kid in high school, one of my go-to high snacks was an Entenmann's All Butter French Crumb Cake (~1740 calories) and a half gallon of 2% milk (~950 calories). It wasn't an everyday thing, but I'd house it no problem, and it wasn't the only thing I'd eat that day. I also swam competitively, although as I've grown older I've learned that it's essentially unrelated, and that your metabolism is just your metabolism, essentially regardless if your activity levels. I had trouble breaking 140 pounds at 5'8. That all stopped. It's pretty incredible how it all just stops. I'm still fairly active, but I wouldn't consider eating more than a serving at this point, and I instead have trouble cracking 165 (except from above this time). Oh well, this is life. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 8 points 4 days ago (2 children) I use the example in the meme a lot. As adults we're in a post-scarcity mindset. If you tell a kid you can eat chocolate ice cream for 3 meals a day and don't do it because you don't want to (because you know you shouldn't), it would blow their minds. You're growing up when you get access to things and stop thinking "if you can" and start thinking "if you should". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] gandalf_der_13te@feddit.org 7 points 4 days ago (1 child) for me it's not that i think that i shouldn't, but i can't. i just cannot ingest that much sugar at once, i get really bad feelings from that! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mig@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago My knee swells up.
