Who is Goat Ribbon?

It's a goat. It's a goat that is one thousand and seven hundred years old with no set personality. Sometimes he becomes an animal taxi.
He has an incredible ability to jump to unexpected places, and loves those mushrooms that you cannot say in places with overzealous filters.
It's a really good thing that I finished the CVVC tester ust files, because this is a CVVC bank. Cool!
I actually thought fat camps were something made up for television. And yes, this is a very random hard right into not talking about the UTAU because what is there to say? It's a goat that delivers mail.
There were movies and episodes of cartoons about characters going to fat camp, but it just sounded so bizarre. Would parents really send their kids to a place called a fat camp?
Well, they were a real thing! They tended to not use that name, but the people who recount their experiences seem to drop the pretense and call it that. Fit farm was one of the possible euphemisms.
Fit farms were places where overweight youth were sent to lose weight. Some kids had a wonderful time going from being the fattest kid at school to the thinnest kid in the summer camp. Some were emotionally tormented. Some came back the next year even heavier!
The reason is really simple. Sustained weight loss for a child requires the participation of every member of the family, even if the child is the only one who is overweight. There are exceptions, like the kid getting really into sports so that food isn't as important. But for the most part, it is a family effort.
Now, there are many kinds of people. There are supermodels who can pack away a box of doughnuts and then work them off. There are people who just eat when they're hungry and don't exercise… yet remain thin.
Then there's people like me! Intuitive eating doesn't work. I'm a binge eater. Exercise doesn't work, because I immediately eat more than I burnt as a "reward". (Exercise is extremely important for health in the long term, but it doesn't help people like me lose weight without dieting.)
I need to be on a diet, and I will need to be on it for as long as I don't want type two diabetes.
Now, I've been doing well and I've gotten down to 173lbs at the time of writing. I also have potato chips and vegan candy bars on my bed. What gives, right?! Crisps and candy bars on a diet?!
And the answer is that your diet is forever when you're like me. I need potato chips in my life. I need vegan candy bars in my life. I can't live without some junk food, so I find places in my life for junk food. Like my bed. Well, the chips are just in my bed until I get up the energy to put them in my closet.
The most consistent and easiest way to lose weight and maintain weight is the calorie deficit model. You simply figure out how many calories you need to eat to lose weight or maintain weight, and you eat that many calories. Do you want pizza? Just shuffle some stuff around. Ice cream? Sure!
But it's important to not have "cheat days". If you eat an entire pizza, you record in your food diary that you ate 2,269 calories. You can blow past your goal, and we all need those days, but the second you stop logging your calories is the moment that you think you don't need it anymore and whoops you just binge ate every day for a week.
Does that sound horribly repressive and resemble eating disorders?! It's literally the only way I won't get diabetes, so I live with it.
