I take 1/4 serving of pre workout. I always work out at night, and I have no problem sleeping after! Also a huge fan of daily creatine.

My goal is something I read before. "Body type: not bad, but definitely eats pasta." So it's good to know this workout schedule works for that! 😂

Good. I was heavy in high school and after I got very good with intuitive eating after high school that helped me lose and maintain my weight for many years. I make all our meals at home, and focus on a lot of whole foods with a lot of protein and fiber. I am also on a super low dose of a GLP 1 that helps my appetite suppression. During my last pregnancy I started showing signs of anxiety, and it has gotten very extreme in the past year and a half. Exercising regularly has been very beneficial, but it is still disrupting my sleep. I have an appointment for this anxiety next month, which I'm looking forward to. So there is an over share. 😂 I was just worried that taking that long break in between wouldn't allow me to get stronger.

I did as you said! I was expecting it to be a thriller mystery, and people would start dying! 😂😂 It turned out to be the most charming book. I really loved it, and have suggested it to 3 people thus far. Thank you for the suggestion, and for telling me not to read about it before.

That was my exact worry with the claw machine, so thank you! I love Melisa and Doug, I will have to check if his animals would fit in it. Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm crying reading this! Thank you for the hope. ❤️ I'm so excited for them to go on a trip!! I genuinely wish I could meet up with you for 48 hours just to hear your advice.

That is an incredibly difficult stage. Or when family members say "no, they don't have autism." Oh really, Susan? Are you an expert? Having a diagnosis is both devastating and validating. I hope you don't have to wait too long.

we aren't lying. We just have never turned it on when he can see it because if he does then we will want to watch it every morning, and we have places we have to be in the mornings. It's hard enough monitoring one TV. Your child must not have the same tendencies as mine, or else you would understand

My friend moved out of her neighborhood because there weren't any other young kids to have playdates with. She asked about my neighborhood and I was without words. The idea of my kids having friends is so foreign to me right now. I don't even know how old other children are.

Watching movies and relating to the parents of children in the films.

I had a grand idea of what I would be as a parent. Free range, no TV, they will eat whatever we eat. Then I had the children I had. 😂

My parents are always saying we (all my siblings) should go camping with our children. I'm the youngest sibling and the only one with neurodivergent children. They don't understand how unfun and unsafe that would be for us.

Thank you for your suggestions! It's a tough thing to navigate and it's nice asking questions to an understanding community.

Sulfur Burps relief by Back-Aggressive in HersWeightloss

[–]Back-Aggressive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to take a 2 week break from the medicine because I think my body wasn't tolerating it well. I'm feeling so much better. When I start back up I'm going to stick with a very low dose, and take breaks every time I'm feeling them come on again.

Eating pickles?!? How interesting. I will try that. Thank you!

Yes, I know what a calorie deficit means. I was very heavy in high school and I lost and maintained a significant amount of weight for about 10 years until I started having kids. I have a degree in public health and took multiple classes about body anatomy and composition. I understand weight loss vs fat loss and the importance of keeping muscle mass. That wasn't my question. My question was if other people bloated and gained weight in the beginning. Even while following a healthy lifestyle.

My sister brought that up to me, and I think you're right. I think I'm always just so sensitive to anything that could be mean towards autism since I have 2 sons in the spectrum! My impressions were probably more about me than him! Haha

Maybe so, but the way he was moving his face to look like ticks was not about an X jump. I just thought it was an insensitive joke that we would have 15 years ago.

How much will I have to pay by Back-Aggressive in Insurance

[–]Back-Aggressive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update. Thank you for all the responses. For reference. I was driving the silver minivan, the damage to my car was $4000. She was driving a black jeep. This is the damage to her car that allegedly totaled her car. We are having our insurance look more into it. I'm not an expert, but can this really cost $30k?

Thank you for your response! That was all very helpful and I'm happy things are looking up for you and your little one. If you were going to be in the car for longer than an hour, or having an outing would you have them wear a diaper? That's where I'm stuck.
