    The other side to that is realizing how sick you feel after eating three giant KitKats

      Shortly after moving out on my own I realized I could just buy broccoli and steam it and eat it whenever I want. Keep in mind I LOOOOOVED steamed broccoli; especially with lemon juice and butter.

      I have binged on candy and felt awful afterwards but never in my life have I felt as miserable as I did the night after I ate a whole head of broccoli. The trapped gas in my abdomen literally made me wish I was dead.

      …and my dumb ass had to do this twice before before I made the connection…

      Well being an adult is taking a giant bite through a bunch of giant kitkats, then putting the rest away for another day.

    But being an adult is realizing those choices are accommodated by consequences. Like all your friends giving you shit for being ‘lol random’.

      No! I specifically ordered my increased autonomy without any adulting! I demand a replacement or a refund!

        Refund granted and adult status revoked. Credits were added to your adult account, which requires you to be an adult to sign in! Have a good day. :)

      If your body reacts this way from eating too many sweets once, then your problem started weeks before.

      The human body needs way less nutrients than people generally assume.

        If I ate something like this, I’d feel awful in a matter of minutes, probably about 30. Oh, it would taste awesome until then.

        I’m not diabetic, but hypoglycemia sucks balls. I can’t even eat a fucking banana unless I’ve just had a meal. 😕

          How does a banana give you low blood sugar, and how could eating a meal (= more carbohydrates) help?

    Me, as a child: “I want to eat four KitKats at once.”

    My parents: “You’ll give yourself a tummy ache and spend the rest of the day puking and shitting.”

    Me, as an adult: puking and shitting noises

    I was 26 before I realised that I could have as much bacon as I wanted whenever I wanted.

            Actually, I think I’m doing pretty well for a guy my age. Certainly better than the average. However, I could stand to do better.

            I don’t actually eat bacon everyday. Just because I can do something doesn’t mean that I do.

            Got any tips for an older gent that’s looking for some gains? Not trying to look like Chris Hemsworth, but a healthy muscle tone would be nice.

    I was in college and loved Arby’s beef and Cheddars. Ordered 5 at the drive through, ate them all within 20 minutes. Oof. I still remember how heavy they were.

      What weighs more, 5 Arby’s beef and cheddar or 5 pounds of Tungsten? The 5 Arby’s beef and cheddar, because you also gotta carry the weight of what you did to those Arby’s workers
