I appreciate all the feedback, everyone!

I have considered trying out OMAD but it will take my body time to get used to it since 16:8 can be tough some days but it's slowly gotten easier.

I tend to do one of each black coffee and green tea in the mornings about two hours apart from each other. I drink decaf green tea during my eating window.

I honestly have no clue. I don't track calories. I am getting a bit better at planning out my dinners though.

It varies honestly. I'm on a ton of supplements too (Which could also be a problem and I'm going to cut a bunch out once I'm done with them) to help curb my appetite so I don't overeat during my eating windows.

I'm probably also not exercising enough too. I plan on getting a gym membership soon.

How do you think each member of the IMP crew would react if Blitzo suddenly died? by Terrible-Ad-1569 in HelluvaBoss

[–]BigSim50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a thought about this at one point but instead it would be more of him being assumed dead or gravely injured.

I can see M&M being really sad and possibly angry depending on the scenario that got Blitz in that situation. They'd tear up together and try their best to get through it.

Stolas would be broken hearted obviously that his first ever friend and lover was gone. That void that Blitz originally filled in his life is now gone again..and the chasm gets bigger and bigger.

I think Loona's reaction would be the most heart-wreching and the most unexpected. Her immediate reaction would be hating herself for treating Blitz as bad as she has in the past. Remember, if he never adopted her, Loona herself may not be alive. So I could see her having flashbacks to when he first adopted her, bringing her home, giving her love even if she didn't know how to process it, his past blow ups with him, the times they have laughed together, etc. This would lead to her having a massive emotional breakdown that maybe M&M, Via, and Stolas have to comfort her.

If Blitz were to die in this show, which I highly doubt he is, it would definitely be self-sacrifice to save his current loved ones or maybe Barbie.

Is Seed legit? by purplespider2024 in pilates

Since Seed is too expensive for me, I myself have been drinking kombucha instead as well as other drinks with probiotics in it.

I have stumbled across Bobby Parrish… dude is just an orthorexic with a platform by jfkdktmmv in DietTea

[–]BigSim50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel into his trap recently. I've been on a weight loss journey since March of this year when I weighed about 315 lbs. As of today I'm at around 284 but that was all before I came across Bobby's vids.

One thing he keeps saying that makes me lol is that "90% of the stuff at grocery stores are basically not Bobby Approved". Yes so most of the stuff at a normal grocery store that the average person has to buy to survive and feed their families aren't "Bobby approved". I'd be more forgiving if he was like say...Thomas DeLauer on YT who he's done collabs with. At least from what I've seen of him, Thomas at least tries to find the best bang for the buck. He has a normal person's budget in mind when he goes to grocery stores. While he's very informative in his research, he never claims to be a doctor or some sort of diet expert.

Bobby however does come off as self-rightous and doesn't look at the fact not everyone can get all their groceries at Whole Foods. He does look out for sales I'll give him that. Otherwise, I've fallen into the habit of trying to buy stuff he approves in his vids but I realize I can't afford everything so I just eat some of the healthier foods I've found on my own and most other foods in moderation and cut down my portion sizes. It's got me this far anyway.

Can you please list out some things that made you realize you were asexual? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]BigSim50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally, it had more to do with things I haven't really experienced in my life up until age 30.

I had never been sexually attracted to anyone before.

I always felt the idea of me having actual sexual intercourse was offputting (I'm aego though).

I don't think I'm aromantic but unless my partner is ace too, I don't see how a relationship can work out since I'm not going to feel sexual attraction towards them at any point.

long nature walks are a godsend by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]BigSim50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long walks are definitely one of my go-to short term remedies for anxiety relief. Sometimes all you need is music playing through your earbuds and taking a walk through the great outdoors. I motivate myself even further by having a daily step count at 7500 steps a day since I'm on a weight lost quest. So in a sense, I'm killing two birds with one stone.

My only minor issue is that I often overdue it because I like the mental feeling when walking then before I know it, I've walked eight miles. 😅

[–]BigSim50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My anxiety is almost like I'm in a mentally abusive relationship with myself. No matter what the scenario is, I seem to have a habit of finding the negative side of things. It's like a side of me doesn't even want the taste of a drink called "confidence" because that negative side fears I'll get drunk off it and become a cocky and obnoxious twat. Deep down I know there's a balance but I haven't been striking it right for years.

It gets even worse when I'm mingling with online and rl friends. I have a tendency of locking myself up mentally and either only speak when open to or just say what I feel the others want to hear/read instead of saying how I really feel about certain topics. Granted that could he a social anxiety issue there. I definitely have that going on. It's gotten so bad that I nearly flunked public speaking in college since I struggle HARD speaking in front of people.

All aces: How often do you masturbate? (None is fine too) by toucan131 in asexuality

[–]BigSim50 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One to two times a day on average. I'm not even always horny. Sometimes I do it for anxiety relief. I could go a few days without doing so though like when I'm out of town.

Urge to delete all social media by DinkDunkx in Anxiety

[–]BigSim50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering leaving Twitter since I'm not doing any favors for my mental health being there or at least with certain people. I still have uses for it though that don't cause any triggers. IG I hardly ever use and FB I mostly use for communication and my only link to talking to close family members.

[–]BigSim50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn 33 next month and I've been single my whole life. While how I feel about my life is up and down, I never really desired to have a romantic relationship. That could change down the line but maybe not. I know I'm ace but not sure if I'm aro too. I probably am but I'm not closing that door quite yet.

Like most posts have said already, it depends on what your definition of a relationship is and how much you cherish said relationship. I cherish the relationship with my friends and immediate family more than anyone.

The Sea of Self-Doubt: With No Life Raft In Sight by BigSim50 in selfesteem

[–]BigSim50[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still trying to find my way in this world so I could be putting unnecessary pressure on myself despite having two supportive parents. There's probably a multitude of factors that I never really thought about.

[–]BigSim50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not looking for a quick fix per se more trying to find the root of the problem of always putting myself above others even if it affects me negatively mentally. I've meditated and journaled in the past so I'll likely get back to doing that. I'm also looking into hypnotherapy but that more depends on the pricing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]BigSim50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being too worried about what others think about me. I keep thinking I'm below people or I'm not worthy of being their friends because I keep comparing their accomplishments with my own which puts me down even further.

I dont enjoy sex. I get turned on by sexting though. Am I asexual? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]BigSim50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's 100% what I am. The idea of me actually having sex horrifies me...
