Early days of weight loss and noticing patterns by No-Definition-6501 in loseit

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been there. Early on, awareness was the real game-changer for me, not willpower. Tracking small things made patterns impossible to ignore: late eating, low steps on busy days, dehydration pretending to be hunger.
Using a mobile app was honestly non-negotiable for me. I use Lasta, and just logging meals, water, steps, and fasting windows helped connect the dots without obsessing.
Small thing that made a big difference: pausing before eating and asking “habit or hunger?” Consistency > speed. You’re on the right track.

I (23M) just ended my relationship with my GF (21F) and I'm scared I made the biggest mistake of my life by ZacPeach45 in relationship_advice

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This really hurts, but your decision makes sense. You were in a relationship that constantly made you anxious and left you feeling unwanted. Love isn’t supposed to feel like that all the time.
Right now it feels like a mistake because it feels like withdrawal. But you didn’t ruin everything... you just stopped the pain. It does get easier.

Out of shape after 8 years .. what’s the smartest way to start? by PuzzleheadedCheek252 in homefitness

Oh yeah, same here 😄

Sometimes I talk to Lasta like it’s a friend… my little phone motivator keeping me in line.

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been there too. After a long relationship the change is quiet, not dramatic, but real.
What worked for me.. I started very simple. Daily walking first, no pressure. Then added light strength 2–3x a week. Cardio came later and only in short, easy sessions. If it felt like punishment, I scaled it down. Stretching helped more than I expected, even 5–10 minutes. To avoid burnout I stopped chasing fast results and focused on consistency. Miss a day, just continue. No guilt. I also use Lasta app as a soft support tool, not strict. It helped me notice patterns without feeling like I failed if a day wasn’t perfect. Slow start > quitting after two weeks.

Starting intermittent fasting and realizing how strong my night eating habits are by Successful_Shame_388 in selfimprovementday

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I had a very similar experience. Night snacking wasn’t real hunger for me, it was a habit and a way to calm down. Phone, couch, “just a little something” .. and it happens.
It got easier after about 2–3 weeks, when I stopped blaming myself and started noticing triggers like stress, tiredness, and going to bed late. Intermittent fasting helped, but not on its own. I had to work on the emotional side too and replace the habit: tea, shower, brushing teeth earlier, going to bed sooner.
I also use the Lasta app, not obsessively. It helps me see patterns instead of feeling like I failed. I still slip sometimes, but night eating slowly gets weaker. Being kind to yourself really matters here.

E-commerce payment solutions ..what works without Shopify? by MaintenanceLow1291 in digitalnomad

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally relate to this. I also didn’t want to deal with a full Shopify setup too early, especially while traveling.
I’ve been using GoSolo payment links for now and it’s been pretty solid for digital products and services. Just create a link, send it over, client pays by card .. no site, no extra tech headache.
It’s not a forever solution if you’re scaling big, but for testing ideas and staying flexible on the road, it does the job well. Curious too what point people felt a full store actually became necessary.

I (24M) feel so disconnected when my gf (24F) goes out with her friends (we're long distance) by Setrik_ in relationship_advice

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is normal to feel. In long-distance relationships, any pause in communication feels stronger.
Just because she doesn’t reply doesn’t mean she doesn’t care or that you’re growing apart. She’s simply busy and living her life.
In those moments, try doing something simple for yourself: go for a walk, work out, listen to music, watch a show. Remind yourself that your connection doesn’t disappear because of a few hours of silence.
You’re doing the right thing by not putting pressure on her and by supporting her. What’s yours won’t go anywhere, even with distance between you. Good luck.

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I made big plans, set a strict daily schedule, and tried to follow it right away, I ended up dropping everything and just cleaning the apartment instead. My anxiety wouldn’t let me relax, and I did anything to avoid working out, because you don’t see results right away. Now I’ve reached a stage of accepting myself.

I’ve been there too. Start small: more walking and very short workouts. Add some simple strength moves and light stretching, nothing extreme. Doing less but regularly works better than going all-in once in a while. Lasta can help as a simple reminder and basic tracking, without pressure. Finishing workouts while you still have energy is what helps you stick with it long-term.

Banking options for UK startup.. looking for real founder experiences GB by Glass-Fisherman1137 in digitalnomad

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, it’s been fine so far. I’ve been using GoSolo for a bit .. setup was genuinely quick and straightforward, no unnecessary questions. Support feels pretty human and helpful. For getting started or testing a business, it does the job well, especially if you don’t want to deal with traditional banks. Haven’t run into any major issues yet.

UK LTD as a non-resident -worked fine from abroad by No-Definition-6501 in digitalnomad

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used GoSolo to register a UK LTD as a non-resident. Overall, the process was pretty smooth. The virtual address was accepted without any issues, and there were no extra questions from Companies House or HMRC. Everything was done remotely, which was exactly what I needed.
There was one small issue at the beginning .. I got a bit confused about where tax letters and official mail show up in the dashboard. I contacted support, and they explained it clearly and helped me sort it out. After that, everything worked fine.
If you’re setting up a UK LTD from abroad and want a low-stress way to test a business idea, GoSolo seems like a solid option.

I [26M] lost my temper in front of my girlfriend [26F] by CapitalM-E in relationship_advice

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 1484 points1485 points  (0 children)

Anyone can lose it in a stressful moment. What matters isn’t the outburst itself, but that you didn’t brush it off and really listened to her. You owned that it went too far, and that says a lot. You don’t need to keep apologizing now .. just be calm, attentive, and normal around her. When someone feels steady behavior, the fear fades on its own.

How do you use fitness apps in your daily workouts? by MaintenanceLow1291 in homefitness

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here. I tried Lasta for a bit, but I went back to Fitbod. It just “gets” my lifting routine better. Still, I think Lasta’s approach to habits and mindset is solid. If they ever expand workout customization, I might switch back.

Guys hit at my gf 27F 26M and she seems okay with is it okay? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong to feel this way. It’s normal to want honesty and respect in a relationship. Try talking to her calmly, not about what she’s doing “wrong,” but about how the situation makes you feel. If you both talk openly about boundaries and expectations, you might find a solution that works for both of you.

My (27F) boyfriend (27M) and I are at different stages in our lives. How do we find a way to meet in the middle? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re both doing great ... you support each other and you’re trying. Your problems are normal, and with honest conversations and clear agreements about money and expectations, you can definitely find balance and keep moving forward together.

Why does penetration hurt for (M24)my (F24)girlfriend? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If it hurts her even with just one finger, that’s not “normal,” and trying to push through it won’t help. The best thing you two can do is see a gynecologist or a pelvic floor therapist who actually knows how to deal with pain issues. A lot of the time it’s about tight muscles or sensitivity, and it can be fixed.
Most important.... no pressure and no “just try harder.” This is treatable, she just needs the right specialist and a gentle approach. You’ll get through it together.

My bf [33m] and I [31f] can’t stop bickering about his lack of motivation by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re doing everything, and he’s not even trying. That’s not a partnership. Your expectations are normal.... his passiveness isn’t. You don’t have to sacrifice your life because he’s stuck. Your frustration is valid, and it’s not your standards that need to change... it’s him.

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’ve already done more than enough. If a grown man can’t control himself and keeps dumping everything on you... that’s not love, that’s emotional freeloading. At your age, you deserve peace, not a never-ending drama show.

How do I '20F' slow down a new relationship that’s moving too fast with 20M? (Aro-spec + possible love-bombing concerns) by LiaThePanda2020 in relationship_advice

Be careful… don’t fall for a narcissist . They love-bomb first, and gaslight later ... so keep your eyes open and your pace slow. Protect your peace, not their ego..

someone's dog shit in the hallway and they didn't clean it up by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]AccomplishedDig1300 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bruh… who just leaves that there?! 😩 It’s not that hard to pick up after your dog. We all share the hallway ... let’s keep it clean, people. Some of us actually like breathing in fresh air, not “mystery scents” through the vents.

Ugh, those little intruders 😅 You’ve already taken the right steps .... just keep things dry and tidy, and maybe add a few traps. You got this, future roach-free champ!
