If I were still fat, I probably would not have gotten so involved in the Occupy Providence movement. How come? | ||

Have to do with occupying too much space? Have to do with transportation challenges getting to the site? Have to do with the availability of food and drink? Have to do with being embarrased about being seen at a heavier weight? Have to do with how your clothes fit at that time? | ||

Challenges is the corporate-speak PC version of issues or problems. We in the corporate world do not have problems, we have challenges that we can overcome....harumph harumph. Was they kind of food you ate not likely to be available? Does occupation involve a hunger strike? You less likely to be able to go without food back then? | ||

so you wouldn't have gone to the park to join the occupy movement when you were fat? and you wouldn't go on one of your eating days now? is it somehow difficult to eat cakes etc when with the occupiers? would you refrain from going because you would not then be free to eat what you want? do you think it would somehow go against the 'cause' to be seen to be overindulging in treats? not in the spirit of the protest? would somehow give the wrong impression of you? of the occupiers? is there an element of wanting to show solidarity with the poor? and this would seem less sincere if you were eating treats? | ||

I probably would have, but nowhere near as oftenand you wouldn't go on one of your eating days now? That's rightis it somehow difficult to eat cakes etc when with the occupiers? no would you refrain from going because you would not then be free to eat what you want? nodo you think it would somehow go against the 'cause' to be seen to be overindulging in treats? no--any cause that was opposed to eating treats is a cause I would not touch with a 10-foot pole!! not in the spirit of the protest? see previous answer would somehow give the wrong impression of you? see previous answer of the occupiers? see previous answeris there an element of wanting to show solidarity with the poor? yes but irrel and this would seem less sincere if you were eating treats? see previous answer but one | ||

so we know that you would have been less likely to join occupy on a particular day if you had been eating indulgently that day - correct? and now it's OK because you only eat indulgently infrequently? allowing you to join occupy for most days? so we need to find out why you would not have joined them if you were eating indulgently? and it's not related to any feeling of shame for eating indulgently - correct? and not related to having to share your treats - correct? would it actually be possible for you to attend occupy on indulgent days? is it just that you would choose not to? is that because you would somehow lose a benefit by doing so? gain a disbenefit? would your choice not to attend be in your own interests? in the interests of others? would it be altruistic? selfish? sensible? is it related to the physical effects upon you of being indulgent? would you be physically uncomfortable if you attended on an indulgent day? psychologically uncomfortable? | ||

If you currently indulged every day but were for some reason not fat, would you go every day? Some days? No days? If you were still fat but only indulged one day, would you go every day? Some days? No days? | ||

What you seem to be getting at is right: the crucial factor is not whether I was fat but how often I indulged. If Occupy Providence had been around when I was fat & losing weight, I would have gone there as often as I actually did (2-3X/week). | ||

HINT: I've already said that I didn't carry posters or shout slogans. So find out what I was doing when I went to the Occupy Providence site. | ||

Lightbulb time (Maybe): Were you actually feeding the occupiers (not necessarily with goodies)? or serving them in some way, e.g. with tents or other shelter, first aid, etc, etc? | ||

Good point. *tries to push through cold-medicine fog* Because you'd be spending money on something else and couldn't afford extra goodies for OP? | ||

Would you have thought that people might look down on a fat person bringing them goodies? Have you become more aware of the joys of getting a treat when you haven't had one in a while since losing weight? So because you now only indulge once a fortnight, you realise how hard it will be for people who are there all the time and can't get much nice food? | ||

Would being served by a fat person have put them off their goodies i.e. 'Gosh I could end up like her' | ||

No, I'd never bring goodies to such bigots!! Have you become more aware of the joys of getting a treat when you haven't had one in a while since losing weight? No--I LOVED eating everything I wanted. I stopped because I think that the quality of life is much less important than the quantitySo because you now only indulge once a fortnight, you realise how hard it will be for people who are there all the time and can't get much nice food?

Do you have more free time? More money? Is it relevant how difficult you find it to keep to your diet? Does going to the protest help distract you from wanting treats? | ||

So does being involved with the movement help you stick to the diet? Because you physically can't get the treats when you're there? Because you'd be expected to share anything you brought, so couldn't sit there and gorge yourself? Because you give food to the protesters so it isn't in your house tempting you? Does providing for other people make it easier for you to deprive yourself? | ||

Since I don't get to eat anywhere near as much of these delights as I long to, I'm hungry for vicarious thrills. So when I learned that people at the Occupy Providence site wanted food donations, I got vicarious thrills 2-3x/week by bringing them what I wanted to eat. I would have done this occasionally even if were eating everything I wanted & hence didn't need vicarious thrills, but I probably wouldn't have gone to the park as often. So this is my THIRD puzzle that Enjay solved today. Thanks, Enjay (as well as everyone who did the groundwork). Please check out my THIRD new one!! |
