@johnjs37 I'm right there with you. I combat the resentment by telling myself that it forces me to stay strong and healthy. I don't know how old you are, but as our taller peers age while not attending to fitness and nutrition, it catches up to them by surprise and then they're the ones envying you.

@zastari It's great reading how everyone is enjoying their holiday treats! I don't have any regrets. I'm eating more "fun" foods but not stuffing myself, and I'm timing carby treats right before workouts and hitting PRs, but not stressing about being perfect at it.

@woollybear As an American who does a lot of professional work with people from Germany, Switzerland, Iceland, and the Netherlands, I've noticed that people are much more polite in Europe, and the misogyny I see here, I don't see there. Something about our culture seems very broken to me.

@conservativechristian Yes, I do. I did a cut for four months (it was a very small deficit) and am now finding my new maintenance calories. My goal now is recomp, so if all goes as planned, I won't need to cut. I'm still open to doing so if I end up gaining a bit of fat with the muscle. But in...

@theeverydaykingdom That sounds amazing and it is such a needed public service as well!
