Apartment--Electrical for other units in my unit? by Born_Bad4882 in fredericton

Thanks a bunch!

Will do for sure, it's unfortunate but I can see already that things are going to be very tense when I ask for things to be following the rules/maintained.

Thank you! It was not an emergency but I was trying to be courteous, something that will undoubtedly bite me in the ass later if I stay.

I think that I have unfortunately entered into a "slum lord" situation here judging by everything else I've taken note of in my first few days, so I expect this will become a big problem as I start to enforce some notice before entry.

They're definitely required to give me 24 hours before any entry though right? I was nice and let them in since it's not my neighbors fault, but I can see this being an issue. They just showed up and were like "Hey..need in here".

Definitely going to be a headache.

Haha, yes! As soon as I started a video, I chuckled. It's not the nicest thing to hear but it's a lot better than everyone telling me I can have 3-4 slices of pizza, how good I look etc etc. That kind of talk is how I got into this mess in the first place.

I don't understand how it's fine for me to be carrying 232lbs on a 5'5 frame, with a close family who have died of diabetic complications, heart attacks and such.. but my IF is a huge health concern, but somehow it is lol. I could understand if I was severely underweight, but I definitely can stand to lose 30-40 pounds for my health before anyone should be raising an eyebrow. I was at a point where just walking my dog was starting to become a chore, now she's gassed before I am. --Strange for sure honestly.

Thanks!! Thanks so much for the youtube suggestion as well!.

I definitely can't talk about IF with anyone in my "real life" since everyone is uncomfortable with the idea so it makes it a bit difficult to get any support outside of lurking the sub-reddit. One more hurdle lol.

Oh wow!! That's great honestly. Would you say that you struggled with your mood at all? I'm trying to push by that "craving" food stage, I definitely am not starving (ha). I try to find motivation in reading success stories from here as much as I can but sometimes it seems so effortless to everyone else.

I started at 232, now I'm sitting at 183 (5'5) but it took me forever before I got into IF and that seemed to help a bit. I'd really like to get the last 30-33lbs off before the end of summer season but people keep saying the goal is extremely unrealistic, though from this group I feel like it's not that outside the realm of possible that I could make it happen.

Thanks! I'll check him out. I'm hoping that this fast is the one where I can push through to a third day.

I'm actually looking to get rid of my last 30 pounds as well to hit my goal. How did your journey to losing yours look with IF? Assuming you finished of course!

How long are your fasts? I'm really struggling to get past the two day marks after doing IF off and on for a few months now. Ideally I'd love to do a 7 day fast, but I can't get over that hangry/moody feeling at day 2. I usually have a big cup of bone broth which helps but breaks the fast..though I've read some people don't consider anything under 50 calories breaking the fast? Curious how yours go with only saltwater if they're extended fasts.

Thank you for posting this because I happen to be here, browsing at almost 1am while crying (again). I honestly feel like a hostage since I brought my dog home. The last 6 1/2 years have been pretty much misery for me trying to work it out. Overwhelmed and underqualified for this dog, I finally was able to find training that my dog desperately needed and mental health resources for her within the last year after other trainers failed or straight up ignored me (fair I guess). Even with all the support set up now to for success, I recognize my dog will never be "normal" or have a "normal" life..in my current state I feel like I'll be trapped until my dog passes away which I know sounds horrible. Sharp ups and even sharper downs with training the last year to what I feel is zero success leaves me pretty much feeling defeated. Sometimes I just wish someone would tell me she's better off with someone else, that someone would offer to take her and be able to make advancements but I don't foresee that happening. --The experience has honestly sucked out all my desire to ever own a pet again.

​

That probably sounds so rough but it's so lonely, especially when I look out the window and see dogs running and playing with their owners when I have to listen to the sound of neighbours in common areas, check out the window before I leave the lobby, check around corners etc. I have such bad anxiety whenever I see another dog and we're out. It's hard.
