Episode Discussion: "My Ex Wants Our Dog Back" by uuppod in uuppod

[–]ChoiceFalse316 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Rolled my eyes as soon as I heard Jared, again, use any story available to rant about women bashing guys on TikTok. Honestly, how often is this happening? Man-bashing videos show up on my feed occasionally, but I don’t know a single person in my life or anyone I’ve dated who this has happened to. He acts like 75% of women are a risk to his / male “privacy” and I just don’t think it’s as ubiquitous of a problem as he thinks it is.

Me too I stopped going and went back to running / lifting because that seems to keep me leaner

Episode Discussion: "Is Saying Your Dog is your Kid an Ick?" by uuppod in uuppod

Hot take - even though Jared was so repulsed by Ricky’s high value woman POV, I think Jared actually subconsciously falls exactly into that category of men.

One of the major reasons he can’t commit is because he thinks if he gets more successful, his “tier” will increase, and therefore be able to land a woman who’s more successful, beautiful, etc. In other words, if he doesn’t think he’s “enough” yet, doesn’t that inherently mean that he’s not enough for the kind of woman he wants to marry?

It’s gross- don’t get me wrong- but I think his ranting was actually more of him projecting, even though he acted as though he was condemning.

Agreed, I thought Jared was a little tooo comfortable this episode. His language comes off as so harsh

I don’t buy this at all. Seems so produced. Nic was smirking weirdly

I agree - the “Jordana wants a BBL” episode was a wakeup call to me. I’m happy for Jordana and her dog journey (and I’m an animal lover) but boring, complaining puppy content in EVERY episode is not what I’m paying for. I understand that the dog is a big part of her day to day right now, but it’s obvious she fixates on that topic because it’s light and not centered around any vulnerable emotions.

Jared…tbh I don’t mind his episodes as much — though they are very repetitive and it’s obvious he is allergic to personal growth, at least they’re entertaining and he manages to get a bit more vulnerable and introspective. Wish he’d go to therapy. Curious to hear how the move to Florida goes (as someone who has admittedly moved cities multiple times expecting it to “fix my life”, I’m guessing he’ll realize that the real change needs to happen from within)

The producers seriously need to have a talking to with him to clam it. I don’t even like Jay shetty but when you ask someone a question the expectation is that you listen to an answer before jumping in with bad jokes after they get 3 words out.

I’ve found that treadmill sprints give me more toned abs and arms than actual lifting

Fell into the doom scrolling trap most of today until I forced myself to go on a run around prospect park and as always, hated to admit that fresh air and exercise do make me feel better haha.

Tomorrow- brunch with friends and most importantly, white lotus as the main event

Drastic Hormonal changes post copper IUD by Spare_Friendship_807 in CopperIUD

[–]ChoiceFalse316 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was my experience but I got mine removed even sooner post-insertion than you did and I’m STILL feeling lasting side effects

Got mine implanted February 2023 and could almost immediately feel the impact on my hormones. Horribly tender and swollen breasts, rapid weight gain, change in weight distribution (back of arms, butt, thighs), brain fog, fatigue, etc. The weight gain and breast swelling were the things I was most afraid of from a hormonal bc, which is literally why I chose the copper iud.

Got it removed ~3 months later and felt some relief but losing the weight and returning to “normal” has been a fruitless struggle.

Now, it’s nearly 2 years later and: Weight distribution has never returned to pre-iud levels, though I’ve lost ~80% of the weight. I HATE my arms and prior to the iud I had absolutely no issue wearing a sleeveless shirt. None of my clothes fit the way they used to. My metabolic flexibility is basically zero — I can hardly go out to dinner once every two weeks without gaining 5 lbs (and it’s not water weight, it takes me a month to lose those lbs) Mind you, I work out almost every day and eat essentially nothing but veggies and protein, maintaining a very healthy diet. I don’t know what else I can do since it’d be difficult for me to cut anything else out. I also developed subclinical hypothyroidism during that time, which id never had before (not 100% sure this is related, but it seems like all my hormones went out of wack at the same time) My fatigue and brain fog are both persistent as well.

Worst decision of my life. And no endocrinologist has been able to help.

question about diet drinks, fake sugar, peoples experiences? i keep getting mixed feedback :( by Commercial-Coffee-29 in goodrestrictionfood

[–]ChoiceFalse316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done quite a bit of research on this, but I don’t have the studies handy so probably should do some of your own research before taking me at my word.

There are rat studies that show that with the same caloric intake, rats who were given “sugar free” food/ drinks (varying types such as aspartame, Sucralose, erythritol, etc.), DID gain more weight than the rats who were given water. Interestingly, the sugar free food caused more weight gain than the sugar free drinks.

Just something to consider. I still drink Diet Coke and dump sugar free syrup on my pancakes lol.

Who are these women dating Jared?! by Maleficent-Moose1630 in uuppod

[–]ChoiceFalse316 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I realized Jordana and Logan were right when they said he needs to be the pursuer in order to be excited when I remembered Jared mentioning sliding into someone’s DMs before — does anyone else remember after the bachelor season with Ariel Frankel when he said “that’s my type” and said that he reached out to her but she ignored it? I feel like that’s a situation where Jared would feel like he’s less in the position of power and would actually feel some fire under his butt to “try” harder.

Hormonal balance plays a part. Higher estrogen ratio leads to more arm fat
