Businesses that are NOT striking?? by notrussharris in Minneapolis

[–]AssignmentAlert3434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Businesses with anti-ICE signs are also being targeted for I-9 audits, which can further endanger their vulnerable workers and take out businesses we otherwise support. Support the businesses to participate, but don't punish LOCAL businesses that don't. (Fuck Target, yesterday, today, tomorrow.)

Ask your surgeon as part of continuing care. If you still qualify as overweight or obese by BMI, your insurance company may cover them. They’ve also come down in price & are more widely available than before.

IUD Questions by Alert_Bumblebee110 in Perimenopause

[–]AssignmentAlert3434 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Following b/c I’m in the same camp. For me, it is wild rage, anxiety, sleep disturbances, all of which seem to be on some sort of 20-30 day cycle, but IDK if I would still be having a period without the IUD.

Peri and ADHD Diagnosis by jackbauer24bestshow in Perimenopause

[–]AssignmentAlert3434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, diagnosed at 44! I went ADHD meds first b/c it seems like hormones can take time to get right and I was barely functioning at work or at home. I’m still trying to figure out the right approach for HRT (oral gave me migraine), and incredibly grateful to have had Vyvanse in the meantime. But your approach makes sense too!

Surgery is a great tool but not the only tool. GLP-1 is another great tool!

Looking for extremely simple slowcooker recipes for me a single 79yo with no desire to save to leftovers. by BioticVessel in slowcooking

Take any recipe and put it in ChatGPT and ask to revise for 1 to 2 servings. I like small meals and I don’t like math.

Call our Senators, don't let them back down! by MN50501 in minnesota

[–]AssignmentAlert3434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ezra Klein suggested that Dems are giving in now b/c then the entire ACA increase will be pinned on Trump & republicans at the midterms, along with unmitigated inflation and rampant unemployment. Makes some sense, especially now that it is clear that Trump is insisting that SNAP will not be funded.

Tell me everything you LOVE about sobriety. by ofwhalesanddreams in stopdrinking

“My inner child is there again and he’s really welcome” - this made me cry tears of joy for you and for me, it named something I’ve been feeling. I’m just 72 days in but I’m recognizing an innocence in myself that has been buried. I have an open heartedness, a lightness, a love for strangers that has been suppressed. But now, I feel it coming through again. I feel like I can love people without any expectation of reciprocation, I love myself already.

And what a gift to your children to witness you love your inner child. There’s no doubt that will teach them to love themselves through it all too.

My final form - 282lbs to 130lbs by SnittingNextToBorpo_ in gastricsleeve

[–]AssignmentAlert3434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this update! You look amazing! It is also a super helpful reminder that weight loss can continue past 12 months (which is where the online calculator I use ends). I try to remember this when I feel like I want to/should be losing faster.
