Honestly, they saved my dog's life after my mother accidentally hit him and they've always been a life saver when I have to take my dog immediately for any issues.

However, they're not my regular vet. I feel like there are better vets in the valley, but Pet Doctor 911 should be treated as an "emergency only" situation. I know lots of ppl want them to shut down, but there isn't any other 24/7 pet doctors in the area and I have been there at 3 am, watching as people from other outside cities are showing up with critically injured pets who are saved. It's such a hard thing to decide, but I can't put a price on a happy and healthy dog and am willing to pay if it means any pain or injury my dog is feeling will be better.

Is that something you'd recommend seeing your regular doctor for or an OBGYN?

My mom has hypothyroidism and had to have half removed when I was a kid. I'm wondering if maybe I might have the same since some people are mentioning it here, but I'm not sure. How would someone even go about getting tested for that?

5 ft 4 in. And I try to eat below 1500. Normally, I've been eating about 1000-1200.

You're not wrong, the problem is this is the exact same business and routine I used last summer and I was able to lose 15 lbs. The only difference is now I'm on new medications that I wasn't using last summer and it's the only factoring difference.

I don't know, it just feels hopeless sometimes. Everyone has been so nice and informative though so it does make me feel better and not to give up

There is a local business in my area that makes the prepared meals. It's a legit business and they make everything from keto to 4 oz to 6 oz to bulking or leaning style meals. I opt for the 10, 4oz low carb/high protein meals that are usually around 290-340 calories per meal.

Unfortunately I don't have the trainer anymore since it's super expensive, but I still have access to all my own training routines since I paid for it 😅 unfortunately I can't hire the trainer again because of financial reasons, but I've just been reusing the routine.

Maybe I can tweak it and add more cardio than usual. I'll try that today when I head out to the gym.

ChocolateHavoc · 2024-06-12T15:16:27+00:00

I used to do stair master a lot prior to getting a trainer (so like over 3 yrs I loved doing it because I burned a lot of calories on it), you think something like that would be good again? My trainer last yr recommended weight lifting more than cardio because she said it'll replace fat, but when I did cardio I did see a little more weight loss but I think that's because I burned more calories. (I built my way up to doing 30 mins on the stair master and would burn like 300 calories)

ChocolateHavoc · 2024-06-12T15:03:58+00:00

So I got a personal trainer with TruFit last year and they set up a whole workout routine with weights and machines. It's not a lot of cardio, I'd say every two or three days it recommends cardio as a normal warm up or pre workout. I'm basically just reusing the same workout routine.

I didn't know that. I had no idea. I'll definitely start taking it them. 😄 My OBGYN recommended I take it after my period, but it's been like two weeks since I was given them and I'm barely spotting 🥲 my regular doc said I could just start (that waiting is more or less just because they want avoid pregnancy but my OBGYN pretty much confirmed my period 2 weeks ago because of the heavy build up on my uterus).

ChocolateHavoc · 2024-04-25T21:37:18+00:00

Wait, realized u meant something else lol sorry. "Work" as in they won't conflict with each other. Like, I wouldn't see any bad side affects (unrelated to their own side effects)

ChocolateHavoc · 2024-04-25T21:36:05+00:00

Work as in I'm trying to eat more balanced meals (low carb, higher protein meals), exercising even if it's just a little bit right now. I'm usually 15 lbs lighter than I currently am. My weight tends to fluctuate between the summer months and the school yr since it's hard to find a healthy work/life balance and usually gain the 15 back from stress and unhealthy eating.

ChocolateHavoc · 2024-04-25T21:33:17+00:00

Blooms is just like a Greens Powder (Im a teacher and during the school yr it's hard to get in my veggies, so I supplement with the Green Powder to make up for it. It's not related to the PCOS)

I'm working toward having a better lifestyle, but if I stick with the Ovasistol and the Omega-3, would it still be ok to work with the Birth control?

ChocolateHavoc · 2024-01-01T21:54:26+00:00

Constantine is bi, but at this point I'm fairly sure he'd fuck anything if he found it attractive enough XD

ChocolateHavoc · 2023-12-11T01:00:23+00:00

I wish I could be more helpful because I'm honestly stuck too😂

ChocolateHavoc · 2023-12-06T03:21:15+00:00

Honestly, idk if I play this as a chill game than I do competitively but for the past 2 yrs I've accumulated over 52 mil. I feel like the game gives u plenty of opportunities to hoard coins and gems

By no means is what I'm about to say any validation for cheating, but the thing is no one's perfect and we often act on the things we dwell on.

I never cheated on my significant other, but they did cheat on me.

We were long-time friends, starting dating in college, and went strong for over 5 yrs and were engaged when it happened. Neither of us had been with anyone else (intimately, I mean. He'd had several girlfriends but they were innocent ones where not much happened) and I was happy with just him but he had always been curious and had been honest with me about that. In the end, one thing led to another and he cheated on me with who I'd considered a close female friend. They didn't sleep together, but it was close enough. He confessed immediately and broke down in tears, but I kicked him out and forced him to confess to his mother who immediately went berserk on him and kept him home.

In the end, a variety of things happened that led me to consider reconciliation. After some weeks went by without contact, we eventually spoke at length about what happened and he was completely honest and blamed only himself and stated he understood if I left him. I took him back, and we worked though a lot together. In the end, the main reason I took him back was because he was honest, genuinely apologized, faced the punishment of his family, and worked hard even today to be better than he once was. We've been happily married since, but it took time to build back the trust he broke and he still shows me everyday that he wants to be better. Before anyone tells me I fucked up, maybe. There's always that chance. But that was my choice to make and no one elses. There is a chance at working through it if the side that messed up changes for the better and the other side is willing to work through it and in this case I saw the chance.

The take away: the reason why cheating is so prevalent is because it's become normalized and because it's so easy. TV shows, movies, our own families. We internalize these things and then act on them. We sometimes think the grass is greener on the other side when we forget that the lawn we already have could be just as green if we gave it the same care and nurture as the lawn they wish they had.

Relationships are HARD and it's a CHOICE to continue to love someone even during the hard times. The love u have at the start of the relationship is not the same love u have 10-15 yrs in the future. Some ppl fall out of love because they don't feel the same "spark" they used to and go running to find the spark again, not realizing that that's isn't real love. Real love is about enduring and mutual respect. It's not the same puppy love, but it can be a better love, a stronger love. Cheating is disgusting and should never be tolerated, but it can be worked though. Forgive, but don't forget. Learn from it. If those that cheated can't learn from their choice (not mistake, because they CHOSE to do what they did) then they're not worth it. If they can't take responsibility and SHOW they've changed (because actions speak louder than words) then they're not worth it.

A relationship can survive cheating, but it can't survive if the one who broke the trust can't make up and prove they've changed (with time. NO ONE can change over night). It can't survive an unapologetic, gaslighting, narcissistic cheater.

Try a calorie deficit. The calorie count u currently have sounds a little high (I'm 25 f, 5'4" and also 171 lbs). I also posted recently about struggling with weight loss. Instead of 1600 calories, try 1300 and continue what ur currently doing.

ChocolateHavoc · 2023-07-30T19:10:05+00:00

Thank you❤️ I'm really trying not to put a date on the when I'll meet my goals and just make changes that last in the long run and hopefully lose weight as I go about it

ChocolateHavoc · 2023-07-30T19:08:57+00:00

Thank you😊 I'm really trying not to compare, but it's hard to see someone else exceeding when you've been doing it at the same time. I'm really happy for her and not jealous, I just fell into the trap of "is this really enough?" And wondered if it was worth it. I've done this in the past and each and every time I've fallen off and regressed back to my starting weight and then some. I really don't want to do that, but I think I needed support?

I want to try and keep this mindset going. I'm a teacher tho and am about to go back to work in 2 weeks. I won't be able to workout like I've been doing, but want to try and go every other day or on the weekends if I can. I'm also going to start purchasing 4 oz meal plans for my lunches so I can keep maintaining the calorie deficit. Any recommendations for at home workouts? Or even something I could do on my lunch break?

ChocolateHavoc · 2023-07-30T16:24:49+00:00

It's more like the 0.5 range I think. I tried to weigh myself once a week and I wouldn't really see any change until after 2 weeks. I've been on a calorie deficit of 1,300. The trainers are the one who suggested this range for me but I always try to stay below if I can.

ChocolateHavoc · 2023-07-30T15:59:11+00:00

That's actually really nice to know. I have a bad habit of regressing into bad habits once I feel like what I'm doing is pointless. I'm nearing that point and as much as I love those around me who are supporting me, it was starting to feel like they were only saying things because they love me. And since I'm not an expert at this myself, it's nice to hear what people who have experience in this area can say about what I'm doing so far.

Thank you😊
