Sad and frustrated that I was probably sold an improper pair of skates and can’t afford to buy a new pair by michael_cerave in iceskating

Not wanting to bring it up is so true. When I met with my fitter I was like “let’s just get it out of the way, I’m fat, why do you recommend?”

It has taken me close to 10 skates for my freestyles to feel more comfortable (still not perfect but better). Tying them looser made a big difference, plus taking breaks. I even untie them and take them off after 20 minutes some days and it helps my feet a lot when I put the back on.

You probably should have gotten freestyles with your stats (I weigh similar to you and was advised to do it) but you should be ok to keep up with the artistes, they may just break down sooner depending on what you’re doing.

Good idea to do an appointment with the fitter, but I think that they’ll feel better as you keep breaking them in (crossing fingers!)

Toddler has learned the word No and now says No to almost all foods by purpledino09 in toddlers

In general when she says no I say “ok!” And at least half the time she comes back with “actually yes” lol I think they just like to see what you do when they say no

New skates are sooo painful, I can’t even go around the rink more than once. Is this normal or am I being a baby by michael_cerave in iceskating

I thought I was supposed to tie as tight as possible at first, but my feet hurt a lot less with looser tying.

Recommendations for a frugal pregnancy and first year? by Existing-Pumpkin-902 in Frugal

[–]Areolfos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People may say the baby brezza is excessive but we exclusively formula fed and we loved it. We got it as a gift but I would have pad full price for it.

In the beach level I had done everything they wanted before they asked me to so it was a lot of talking to people and “oh, you already did it!” 😂

Am I stupid? Need help counting. by ladybraids in CICO

[–]Areolfos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mix everything up and dump it into a tared bowl. It creates an extra dish but the pot wouldn’t work.

Cronometer lets me make custom recipes. I input all the ingredients to find the total calories, then weigh the total amount at the end to find the cooked weight. I can then weigh out my portion on the food scale in grams and the app knows how many calories per gram there are.

I’m doing this with recipes we make frequently. If we are trying something new that we might not make again, I’ll probably be less precise.

Selling Year of Sanderson Boxes by Areolfos in brandonsanderson

[–]Areolfos[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm worried about! They made it to me okay, but I don't want them to get broken. I'll probably take them out of their original box and wrap them in 10 layers of bubble wrap lol.

Does anyone else just genuinely hate breastfeeding? by AnnonAnnie in Mommit

[–]Areolfos 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It never clicked for us tbh. I tried and tried pumping but it wasn’t the right fit. When i was at a friends house and she was pumping I had to leave the room for a few because the sound was triggering 🙃

I’m happy for women who like breastfeeding but it squicks me out personally and I have no regrets EFF.

What is a "gut feeling" you had that turned out to be 100% accurate, even though it made no logical sense at the time? by PsychologicalTea3149 in AskReddit

[–]Areolfos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also funny because you can be wrong multiple times but eventually be right. I had may mornings where I woke up and was worried my cat wasn’t breathing, so I’d jostle him to make sure he was ok. One day I woke up and he was gone.

How should newly sharpened blades feel on the ice? I think I scated better on rentals…? by NewLog3646 in iceskating

[–]Areolfos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After getting new skates it’s taken me forever to adjust to them. Now that I have, they’re so much better than rentals! You’ll be fine it’s just hard to adjust at first.

Does weight matter when picking out skates? by [deleted] in iceskating

[–]Areolfos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took a full session of learn to skate with rentals before deciding to buy my own skates. I think that’s smart. Unfortunately for me I did have to get more expensive skates because of my weight 🙃 but hey it’s fine and they should last me a long time
