[Meta] proposal — a flair for struggle posts

Struggle

Putting this to the board: proposal — a flair for struggle posts.

Text-only posting removes the comparison mechanism that makes image boards difficult, which is why this community adopted the rule and has kept it.

Rate of change is not a virtue. Slower trajectories are as durable as fast ones and are considerably better represented on this board than the front page suggests.

Weighing under consistent conditions — same time, same state, same scale — removes most of the apparent variability people find distressing.

Ask me anything specific. Anything general I will probably get wrong.

A goal weight chosen before starting is a prediction made with the least information you will ever have. Revising it is ordinary rather than a failure.

Disagree that the pace matters as much as you think. Durable is better than fast and nobody posts about durable.

Correction: 18kg over 13 months is a different claim from 18kg in a month, and the post reads as the second.

Push back on the goal number. You chose it before you knew what any of this felt like.

About c/progresspics

Progress posts with no images, by design. Starting point, current point, timeframe, dose history, what changed besides the scale. Text-only removes the comparison trap, the body-shaming pile-on and the entire question of who owns a photo of your torso.
