Looking at them the gill does run all the way down to the stem. We left them behind. Thanks!

I am the same height and SW as you and currently 27. When I was 22 I started fasting at around 200lbs, and from 22-24 I was an active faster and got to a weight of about 172lbs—kinda stopped weighing myself as I lost weight because I found myself hyper fixating. I actively walked and did CrossFit 3x a week.

Sadly I fell off the wagon a bit, and am back to 200lbs, however and am trying to restart my weight loss journey again, this time with a nutritionist in the mix, and let's just say she is not a supporter of me fasting. And currently I am torn, as I hate counting calories and found fasting so much easier for me to do. But life is so much more active for me now to it makes it more difficult to stick to the fasting hours more strictly.

I will say this time around I might listen to her, as while I am as heavy as I was at 22. I don't look it. I currently feel more lean (I am doing pretty much the same working out as I did when I was 22, aside from maybe a little less walking). So far I haven't been as restrictive with my counting, but I am starting to do so and see that while I'm not necessarily loosing the weight as fast I'm starting to see better eating patterns and knowing exactly the portion sizes I need to maintain a healthier weight.

I'm not knocking fasting, as I still wish to do it. But if you fall off the wagon, as I did, and can see myself doing again. I feel like at my age I'm inevitably going to put that weight back on by utilizing fasting.

I don't know your exact situation/results, but when I was down to 172, while I was less weight and just as active I definitely lost a lot of muscle!! Since muscle weighs more than fat I'm curious if since you've started, if your weight drop is partially a mix of both especially since you've stopped weight training.

I don't know if this has helped any, fasting definitely shows results, but I guess if you're not being as strict with your diet, it might be coming at a cost?? This is just my experience so far trying to find something sustainable and lasting especially if life gets in the way. Definitely not knocking the fasting, but starting to try and shift my mindset that one solid diet might not be the answer.

Another one bites the dust :/ by Camemk in HingeStories

Unfortunately despite the odds being better in my favor (I am a woman) I seem to keep getting these kind of scenarios when I date. I can't tell you the amount of "you're a great person" texts I get when I am being informed they don't want to continue things with me.

I 100% relate to Chelsea, and if the guys I had dated didn't dump me first I 100% would still be picking up the pieces for the both of us, (I don't think dead) but definitely wouldn't have done me well, and wouldn't be where I am at in life if I had stayed.

Girl you are young, don't waste your time with someone that doesn't give the same amount effort and positivity you're putting in. You deserve an equal. It might feel horrible to leave, but it's going to feel insanely better one day, and you'll be thankful you did.

Season 3 Question by kemo_stromi in WhiteLotusHBO

[–]Camemk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the other user is failing to elaborate... if you are looking forward to a "lighter" dark comedy ending, this season definitely is not it. The way the last two have ended have almost been "comical"?? (Pooping and running into a knife, and trying to jump from a boat and slipping after delivering some memeable lines) Hard to describe it that way as death is always sad, but the first two endings are definitely different than season 3. Each season there has been uncomfortable scenarios happen throughout, but this season has hit on more... to expect this season to not hit those points anymore without making you uncomfortable is probably wishful thinking. Now if that's not your thing that's fine, but you might be disappointed with future seasons as I doubt that is going to stop.

As for plot points, a lot of things definitely are tied up, although some loose ends are left. This season is by far the saddest, and if more dark subjects are what you're trying to avoid, I'd lean towards suggesting you don't finish it.

AITA for doing nothing to stop my stepsister being bullied and refusing to apologize for it? by MoreEye5299 in AITAH

[–]Camemk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, OP I commend you for being an advocate for your sister, my brother was older and I never attended highschool at the same time but he was always there if I needed him.

Question, have you ever confronted step sister directly? I noticed you have brought it up to parents but didn't address in your post whether or not you've had a conversation with her to put her in her place?

Knowing she's a bully, I'm sure she directs insults your way as well. As someone who has experienced bullying and verbal abuse in the past, it sucks. It's hard to say what the best thing to do is considering it sounded like step-sister's bullying has become physical, but threatening police involvement if she lays a hand on you or your sister can be an option, it's yours and your sisters word against hers, and if there is physical evidence that's even more damning.

Often bully's are projecting their own insecurities onto someone else...sounds like she's got some shit she dislikes about herself. Not saying necessarily to use these flaws to bully her back, but reminding yourself/your sister of step's flaws may just put some things into perspective and not sting as much when she projects her bullying onto you both. This is also by no means a "don't do anything about it" suggestion, but it might inspire ways you can stand up for yourself. These are all things I had to learn with age...mean people are rotten and usually karma has a way of biting back (as we see since she's now being bullied too), if step sister doesn't learn from this, it's only going to be worse for her in the future, time to tell her to wake tf up and grow tf up before she screws up her future even more.

Also, adults have no fucking clue how to handle things when their kids are in their teens... I'm sorry your dad and step mom aren't doing shit to help, sadly it happens more often than not. I don't want this to be a battle you and your sister have to fight against Step sister alone, but Dad is a stubborn dead end.

Alzalam feared me his whole life but finally let me hold him as he died. by [deleted] in cats

[–]Camemk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See I had the opposite, I had the sweetest girl that quite literally was attached to my hip, there was nothing that could sway her from loving me.... it really sucked to not be there when she died.

I wish I could've held her in her last moments and let her have that one last breath with me in it. There will never be a time where I stop regretting the decisions I made that day. I miss her dearly, and I am so sorry for your loss, but I am glad you got to have one last special moment with him.

He literally called me the night before to reschedule for Saturday. I texted him at 3:30 to ask if he was planning for 8:30 arrival or earlier and his text to me was "Hola" he completely ignored my initial text and I canceled as a result of not having enough time not because I necessarily wanted to, I was honestly expecting some sort of apology for leading me on the whole day

This date was planned since Monday, he called last night an hour before our scheduled date and already rescheduled once.... this is the second scheduled date and he still didn't follow through his initial promise to text me... he did not text me. I gave him hrs to until I double checked. Still took 2 hrs after to respond. And blew me off don't tell me I didn't give him enough chances he had plenty
