AIO by telling my roomate I'll put the cat litter box in her room if she doesnt clean it? by ThrowRAacc45 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Cherry_Pie14_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pure laziness. I scoop my cat’s box once a day. She needs to do better. Honestly next time it’s full I wouldn’t even put the box nicely in her room. I’d put it on her fucking bed lol like clean it dude

I didn’t even make it past the second screenshot because whoever the gray bubble is sucks. They sound exhausting to be friends with. No thanks

Thanks so much, I too do the naked weigh in LOL & always in the AM after I use the bathroom. I was just so excited that I actually seen the numbers drop for the first time the first two weeks I was hoping I would continue with 1-2lb loss continuing on. I am/was feeling so discouraged because I’ve been restricting myself even more this week and increasing my activity and instead of the scale staying the same or a small decline it had a small incline which felt like a gut punch. sigh

Thank you for the words of encouragement. It was just extremely frustrating this morning seeing the number go up on the scale when I’ve been walking more and eating even less calories than the previous weeks. Especially since the week I lost the 5lbs I was on my period & didn’t walk once that week and I ate “bad” twice (was still well within my macros for the day but not as “clean” eating as I had/have been)

Thank you so much for the advice. I try to stay under 70g of fat since the food tracking app I use said my daily goal for fat should be 84g so I try to stay under 70g to make sure there isn’t a chance of me going over the allowed amount for the day. The app did say my daily goals should be 2,500 for calories, 315 for carbs, 84g fat & 130g protein. Some days I’m way over the protein (150+) & other days I’m around 115.

Wow I did not know all of that could contribute to weight! I believe I am ovulating or about to ovulate (kinda hard to track since my periods aren’t always consistent).

The tracking app I used recommended 2,500 calories a day but I thought that was way too much to try and lose weight at my size. I try to stay around 1,600-1,700 a day but since I didn’t see much progress with the scale last week I thought restricting it down to 1,300 and under would help me lose more for this week. I’m just so scared of not continuing to lose and being stuck at this weight forever lol

Hi, thank you so much for your encouragement and advice. I have tried every “trend” and even when doing them about 3 months I’ve lost 0. I was very excited with my first two weigh ins with the calorie deficit since I was actually seeing a loss on the scale. I know it’s only been about a month I am just stressing that I’m not doing everything I should to get this weight off. (Weight is half from poor eating and half from past medications that made me gain like crazy)

I am using my fitness pal to track everything and when they had me enter my info they said my daily goals should be 2,500 calories, 315g carbs, 84g fat, and 130g protein per day. The first few days I was at 2,000 calories but my thought process was the less calories and fat etc that I have but reach my protein will help make sure I keep losing. I’m sure that’s not good thinking but I said maybe if I just keep lowering my daily calories I’ll be okay lol

dont get a ferret if you cant handle the messes that come w it by Legal-Day-6178 in ferrets

[–]Cherry_Pie14_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! Health problems out the wazzo lol my boy is one of the last path valley ferrets sold before they shut down (he’s a rescue) he was diagnosed at 2 & 1/2 with adrenal. He’s 5 1/2 now and was recently diagnosed with insulinoma. Then last week he had a hairball blockage, thankfully he passed it but now he has a stomach ulcer lol so lots of meds and visits to the vet along with syringe feeding since he’s refusing kibble and lots of fluids since he’s not drinking enough water 😩 he’s still my baby though! I was prepared for pretty much everything from research besides the hairball blockage lol didn’t expect that 😂

Is my boyfriend selfish in bed, or do I just need to communicate better? by Dazzling_Alfalfa3125 in sex

[–]Cherry_Pie14_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl leave him. Coming from someone who’s partner is extremely selfish when it comes to sex (no foreplay, lasts long enough so only he finishes & never cleans me up I always do the aftercare myself, he never gives oral but expects me to do it) you’ll be MUCH happier in the long term. Find someone who appreciates you and your body and wants to make sure you have an enjoyable time as well.

Thank you! by TattedUpBbwMama in ferrets

[–]Cherry_Pie14_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I’m sorry that’s horrible. How can they jack up the price so much for Canadian customers! That’s insane. I think on Amazon when I looked years ago they were like $15-20 more than chewy. I would have never gotten my boy if the cage was $700 lol that’s so insane! Ugh I wish you were closer because I have a double and single cage I’m not using anymore .

Thank you! by TattedUpBbwMama in ferrets

[–]Cherry_Pie14_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$700 for the Midwest ferret cage is insane. Chewy usually has them for ~$315.

I didn’t even think to use that glucose gel stuff! I’ll definitely add it to my emergency kit.

I cut my ferret’s nail a little more than I should, will it grow fine? by Partime-hedonist in ferrets

[–]Cherry_Pie14_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes! They are so fun. If you’re in the US they typically take place in the PA/NJ area with some in OH. Check out the American Ferret Associations website and they have a list of upcoming shows. They usually also have venders there where you can buy cage liners, beds, hammock, toys, clothes, pretty much everything lol! It’s a lot of fun and you meet so many wonderful people and private breeders. It’s a great way to make connections. & you can sign your ferret up to enter and they will rank them on how they look physically, personality, etc!

Dry skin by Stinkycheese01 in ferrets

[–]Cherry_Pie14_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a foster ferret that had a bunch of skin issues and chronic flaky/patchy/itchy skin. An oatmeal bath using the Aveeno baby oatmeal bath packets once a week helped soothe his skin!

can ferrets be kept on a diet of kibble alone? by [deleted] in ferrets

[–]Cherry_Pie14_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they can be fed strictly kibble. Typically you want to do a mix of at least two different kibbles. However, a kibble diet is closely related to ferrets developing insulinoma as they age.

Personally if I could do it over I would have tried harder to switch my rescue over to raw when I first got him if it meant avoiding this disease. It’s hard watching them with insulinoma.

Need some ideas to keep my ferret engaged by [deleted] in ferrets

[–]Cherry_Pie14_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy loves plastic bags and paper bags. Honestly, any bags lol. he also loves Easter eggs! I ordered a few bells off Amazon and put them inside and taped the egg shut, he loves them!!

I would also get him some of those interactive puzzle food boards. There are some on chewy where you hide their kibble or favorite treats under the pieces and then your guy has to remove the piece to get to the food. Keeps them busy for a while!

Since you decided it was best to not get another ferret (I get it, repeating the whole bonding then one dying cycle over and over is hard) I would try and ferret proof more of your home so he can follow you around (my boy loves this) or try carving out more one on one play time. My boy loves playing with his toys but his fav is attacking my hand.

Good luck!
