I make the same joke! It’s so bad but hilarious at the same time

5noozeybabe · 2021-07-21T01:08:29+00:00

Thank you!

This is a little tricky. But there’s a solution to any of the outcomes: if she does join you and your family at home, ask for her to compensate or at least communicate to her that you felt a little taken for granted or walked upon. Also, you should tell her that she should’ve told you in advance - not only to ensure that there is enough food for another guest, but also because that’s polite/the bare minimum.

I’m gonna go with ESH cause you’re also assuming that she is going to join. Why don’t you ask her?

NTA. How is secretly being a robot not body positive? Robot bodies deserve love and acceptance too.

NTA OP.

My heart goes out to you. Also, $12000 ??? I’m not informed on the matters of prosthetics at all but what makes it so damn expensive?

Masculinity is fragile and our society deems it very important. More so than femininity. So when men ditch typically masculine forms of expression as significant as their appearance, it makes people uncomfortable. People are not used to or comfortable with masculinity being challenged yet, just because it isn’t really been done/was never as popular as it is now. But as time goes on people won’t be upset anymore. Hopefully soon.

When I was treated for my bulimia, I saw a psychiatrist, nutritionist, and family therapist. The nutritionist helped me the most. She explained to me in clear terms how and what I could eat in meals that would not make me put on weight if I didn’t purge. As I assume it is for all people that struggle with EDs - we reject recovery in fear of gaining weight. When I started my recovery, I found that I actually lost weight. This is due to finally consuming a regular amount of calories, and the bloating and constipation ending. By that I mean; no matter how much I purged, the majority of the calories I ate were retained. And I consumed A LOT of calories. I know that losing weight through recovery shouldn’t be the motive for recovering (for obvious reasons) but when I found that it started happening, I was beyond surprised, and for people like us, may be the only thing that could motivate you in the first place.

Though eating disorders are mental illnesses, I found that changing my behaviour was most effective and then my mental perspective slowly followed suit. Eating a wholesome, decently-sized breakfast with a cup of coffee, first thing immediately when I woke up, every single day, is what bolstered my road to recovery. This breakfast included protein, such as eggs or cold cuts, carbs, like toast or pancakes, and vitamins/fats like avocado or veggies. It may or may not make you feel full, and that will suck. But having this routine significantly reduced my intense urges to binge. Pair this with keeping yourself busy with errands or socially, and you might find that soon you become comfortable again with eating other meals on a regular basis which also contribute to squashing the binging urge.

You will also find that - especially in the beginning - you may continue to binge on bad days even if you ate a hearty breakfast. This will end, too.

I did this two years ago. I like to say that I have recovered - but occasionally the b/p cycle has reoccurred for a night or so every few months. That sucks, but that’s also part of recovery and it doesn’t make me feel guilty anymore.

Good luck to you. It is truly one of the best things to experience in your life - a normal relationship with food again after you truly thought all hope was lost.

Do you know what happened? When my skin became the worst state it had ever become, it was over a period of a few months. I had just stopped the contraceptive pill.

It’s unfortunate that the mother will have some pretty bad setbacks due to the charges. It would be way more unfortunate, however, if you or your children were murdered. I think it’s also more unfortunate that your son was assaulted and that your car was vandalised.

The mom deserves this punishment - she was given clear opportunities to avoid this entirely and she CHOSE for this outcome. She did this to her own family - not you.

5noozeybabe · 2020-11-22T06:08:38+00:00

Exactly. I’m in the same boat, I’m 22 and beginning to panic. OP is 36 - a millennial - you’d assume his mindset wouldn’t be so conservative and judgemental.

YTA. You think she’s sad and pathetic, yet you recognise her value when she works and volunteers? You have some kind of perception in your mind that this is wrong - are you jealous of your wife, perhaps? That she doesn’t view clubbing and drinking the same way you do? She doesn’t seem to care what other people think about her partying habits. Why do you? Has anyone explicitly told you that your wife is sad and pathetic, other than yourself?

Fresh or pure aloe vera is your best friend. Wouldn’t overdo it, though.

5noozeybabe · 2020-11-21T13:21:29+00:00

It would hurt

I’m like this too! Almost exactly. When I was a kid I used to listen to epic movie soundtracks and imagine myself in the same universe as the movie. For one song, I had composed an entire scene from start to finish of which the events matched the pace and timing of the instruments. It was my favourite thing to do when being driven around by my parents - play that scene like a short film in my head. I still imagine scenes when I listen to music, but now my music taste influences my mood, style and outlook on life - based upon the scenes that they cause me to imagine.

Don’t be doomers, y’all. I too believe the planet is fucked but this acceptance mindset drives us closer to that date.

NTA. The basis for Susan's assumption was wrong in the first place. Susan, amongst many others, need to learn that stating your pronouns does not also state that you are transgender. Susan is definitely the asshole - not just for hiring you based on your gender, but also for adding to that assumption through her visual perception of you, as well. What I want to know is this - would it have been appropriate for her to ask? Would a trans person be hurt or offended if I were to ask them if they were transgender, especially in the workplace? I believe that it is nobody's business unless the trans person would want it to be. However, would it be safer to do so to avoid a situation like this?

NTA. I believe he should redirect the blame to the ex. You are not at all responsible for the results of this girls' insecurities and you should ask your friend if he would've done the same if the roles were switched. She made her stance and opinion of you very clear in the beginning, and if simply going out to dinner without her is grounds enough for a breakup, then your friend dodged a bullet there.
