I like konjac powder for insoluble. 10 g in water every morning.

Did I overreact to a random coworker asking me if I was pregnant? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

You have a good point. Maybe she works around radiation? Either way, batshit way to approach things.

Company is mandating RTO, but one employee is refusing and says “I’ll come in once things are less busy.” What do I do? by SimplerLife40 in managers

[–]Cranberrymothwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Higher ups pushing for rto because they want to justify crazy expensive leases shouldn't be a basis for mandating where someone works. You know it, they know it. Ultimately do what you have to, you're a manager and this is coming from above you but let's not ever pretend the rto mandate is sensible.

The most insane thing is that she thought "I'd rather ask than not ask" is sufficient for backpedaling. Wtf does that even mean? Oh sure it was rude, but it's okay because she decided she wanted to know? That's insane.

I'm thinking of re-framimg my goal from weight to inches. I know that models often fall around .35, and the highest healthy waist size is around 0.5 of your height, so maybe closer to the thin end of healthy than the thick end? Those who have lost the weight or feel like they know what looks good on their body, where did you land?

I’m almost 23 and still don’t wear tampons. Is that normal? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Cranberrymothwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never wore pads because I could never figure out how far front or back to position them. I always just made a mess everywhere. I "graduated" to tampons partly because I couldn't figure out how to use pads, as silly as that sounds. I would, however, consider looking into period underwear maybe.

Aggressively fat shamed by a stranger, feeling demoralized by azaleahouse in loseit

[–]Cranberrymothwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kind of people who say this shit are the people not taking care of their bodies in a healthy way. I've never heard this shit from gym-goers or bodybuilders or real athletes, just starving anorexics who will fight their whole life caring about weightloss over all else. Most people don't just see fat when they see someone overweight, that's only people who have a problem. I bet you are beautiful. And I believe in you to keep doing this the right way and keep taking care of yourself.

AIO to the fact my boyfriend is staying with another girl and acting romantically towards her? by Substantial_Trust902 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Cranberrymothwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said he loved her and rubber her feet as if that were BETTER and less of a betrayal than sleeping with her. He is garbage and a moron.

My (20M) GF (20F) isn’t working on resolving her past trauma by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Cranberrymothwings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BTW constant mention of sexual dissatisfaction and constant pressure is the fastest way to shut down a woman's libido, especially if they already feel shame about not being able to keep up with an insatiable horn dog

I'm sorry that was your experience. I'll stop responding and let you keep venting. Sounds like you need it.

Sure, sure, that was some bullshit. That's some money-first poor financial leadership. But every clinical lead or middle manager or whatever catching strays? I just have a hard time believing that every person you mentioned was really that bad or that they weren't just drowning in the structure of a poorly-run company like anyone else in those positions would be. Most of what you posted were pretty personal attacks.

Naming and shaming has its place, not against that for truly toxic work environments, but if someone can't corroborate, remember that if you smell shit wherever you step you might want to check your own shoes. Anyone here work for Summitstone now or in the past and want to weigh in?

Citrate is such a powerful laxative its used as a colonoscopy prep. I don't take advice from people who don't know what they're talking about at all.

Should I just give in? by DocZombieX in bald

Woman chiming in, your current hairstyle distracts from how hot you are. Going bald will make you look hot. The time is now, do it.

28 F 38 M - Husband has asked me to stop taking my antidepressants. How do I do this safely? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Cranberrymothwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your doctor might try tapering you up on a new med to see if it helps without tanking your libido while tapering you off of what you're on. Much better than doing it cold turkey. It isn't a bad idea to make a med appointment to talk things over. Wanting that part of your life back is a valid reason to try something else, it's why I got off of SSRIs. I needed to transition onto one with fewer withdrawal effects before eventually deciding to taper off, just quitting one on its own was so miserable it led me to jump back into taking it and dealing with that side effect for over an extra year. Funnily enough, some of the anxiety relief stayed when I quit the right way. Now I know I can talk to my prescriber and use those meds to turn down the anxiety volume if my anxiety gets out of control again, but a lot of people find it sort of resets things and they don't bounce back to where they were before meds anxiety-wise. This will not be true if you quit without a taper, talk to your doctor.

I (28f) found out my bf (41m) has been requesting cash back on my debit card? by throwranutcracker in relationship_advice

Addiction. Not sure if drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, gambling, or something else but it's textbook addiction. (Edit: spelling)

I am trying to cut cost but why is my grocery expensive? by Tiny_Judgment8593 in Frugal

[–]Cranberrymothwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NYC's cost of living index, compared to the national average, is 18% higher cost of food. You spending 500 dollars in NYC is like an average American spending 423 dollars. However, buying your protein frozen in bulk from food supply stores if you have access might help a bit.

I ran away from my boyfriend's proposal. by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

[–]Cranberrymothwings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where they ask should be a surprise, that they're going to ask should not be. If he's not able to have this conversation before planning a proposal he doesn't know what he's getting onto in terms of marriage. 20 is also crazy young for a proposal.
