(wall of pretty decent explanation snip)

Some comments for more accuracy:

It's not a linear chain of actions. Like sugar->fat->protein.

Normally, all of these happen, to some degree, the primary difference is in how fast each process happens. When your metabolism demands 100E of energy, it will consume all three at the same time, except it can cash in (arbitrary numbers) 9 molecules of glucose for 6E, 4 of fats for 10E and 1 of protein for 6E at one unit of time.

So, in the end, when you look at the expenditures, it's a mix of all three, just in various amounts.

That also means that if you overate by a very small amount of energy eating a perfectly equal mix of calories from each of the three, the calorie surpluses wouldn't be equal - the sugars are processed the fastest, so a lot of them would be turned into the energy to cover the actual energy needs before you hit the surplus amount; the fats are slower to process, so a much larger part of energy released from them would be the surplus.

I'm deliberately omitting proteins here, because I don't remember and CBA to check the data on how reluctant the body is to let them go to waste compared to fats.

But if you overeat by the same amount of surplus calories in pure sugars, pure fats, or pure protein doesn't matter. You'll get fat.

And going back to the non-linear thing, glycogen also stimulates the release of fats from the adipose tissue, so at any time, it's a mix of sugars and fats.

I got a happy in my PMbox o_o

You know, on Wednesday it'll be your five-year anniversary of joining Bay12. I'll be working that day but I thought I'd... mention it? Congratulate you? Something anyway... in advance.
[...]
Really I just wanted to say hi since I haven't seen you around in like a week.

It made me happy not merely because someone remembered the anniversary date thing, but that someone PM'd this thing and it made me happy.
I'm too happy to put detail into the action.
But this made my week. o_o

Edit: ARGh, nutrition discussion D: Exactly what I studied in the past years and my mind is drawing a blank on it all because of being tired from studying! (Ok, eyestrain. E/Books. Reading. :v)

-healthy snip!-

Also don't forget that a person's metabolism also plays a key role in how all that works.
Along with their thyroid gland. And other factors.

i have no idea

:U

Also, went to the library to turn in some books for mom. They have a music section that i normally just brush past, but since my brother decided to browse for finance/economy books, i figured i might as well browse through their HEAVY section. To my surprise, i found two CDs from Korpiklaani and one from Therion. They also had one Finntroll CD, but i already have that album. But hey, i know what to listen to now. :v

You know what's great for self-confidence?

Looking at yourself in the mirror, and staring yourself in the eyes,

and saying nice things.

I did that just now, saying what I always say to other people, and it really made my day. And today was already great, so yeah.

Saw a fun self-esteem suggestion the other day.

When your inner voice says negative things about you, turn it into Donald Trump saying those things.  Suddenly it's really easy to tell that inner voice to fuck off, and disregard its negativity.

YAY Other people do this!

I'm remembering a post by i2amroy and others detailing the background of 'Blood is thicker than water' but forgot where or which thread to specifically locate it in from the searchengine >_>
Thinking to use some details of it in writing my mom a card. Then writing my dad a card. Because I'm finally getting around to making cards for people I care about ._. Then making other people a card, then emailing that card to them via picture and text.

...GAH where is that post D:

Yeah..... I kinda feel down now though, for reasons I will not put in the happy thread.

Also, Tiruin PM pls

[TheBiggerFish]

*hugs*
If you want to talk, my PM box is also open.

Aye.  Hugpile.

Also open PM box.

[Amperzand]

For that matter, I'd be happy to talk shit over with somebody, though it'll probably take me like two days to notice I have a PM. :V

[spümpkin]

Thanks, all. I am kinda feeling better now.

Also, I'm just waiting for Tiruin to send me a PM,so yeah.

[Putnam]

I figured out how to wobble!

Turns out I was tapping A at tempo 200 instead of 210, lol

Also, the drugs (ritalin for ADHD) are... working? At least, I just managed to practice melee for a while and think of what I ought to be doing while playing instead of thinking of a million other things and then stopping and doing something else.
