In case you ever wondered, here's why submarines fly pirate flags when they return from a mission.
I had no idea. Interesting.
Bunnies frighten me.

The pounds all came back, with friends, because I am one of the 95% for whom that happens.
Yeah, I'm fully on board the "diets don't work" train, BUT I also can't fit into most of my outside clothes, so I'm going to try some minor changes to see what is sustainable.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
DH has been on a strict keto diet since he was diagnosed with diabetes almost two years ago. He lost 40 lbs and his sugars have been in the normal range with no drugs. He loves meat and veggies, so he’s pretty happy. I am still eating carbs, but less of them, and I’ve cut out refined sugar altogether. Not diabetic and I want to stay that way. Also, I have NO willpower, somI can’t cut down on sweets. I can eat none, or all the chocolate in the world all day long.

That's reasonable. And smaller weight loss amounts are probably a lot more sustainable and enough to make a difference.
One of my favorite breakfasts on that diet was two scrambled eggs and half an avocado with salsa and sour cream. You have to not go crazy with the salsa to meet the carb limits, but you don't need a lot to get flavor.

That's what happened to me as I slid back into carb-land, plus my joints started hurting more.

I have never heard of Super Duper Burger before, and am intrigued but the closest one to me is across a bridge so probably not something I will experience any time soon. Someday I will see a sign and think "I should try that" I am sure.

That's interesting about the submarines. I am particularly boggled to learn that "first sea lord" is a meaningful term, apparently.

I have been ordering a few things in my size, and the jeans I just tried on are comfortable and a good fit. Now I just need to do a load of laundry so I can wear them while I'm out and about tomorrow running errands and getting a haircut.

Is that more war as a sport or sports being like war, I wonder
