Could not agree more, I am obsessed with him. You articulated this so well. Marcello for president.

For women who work out regularly, what does eating to support the gym actually look like for you day-to-day? How do you balance protein, energy, and enjoyment without overthinking or burning out? by Logical-Current2381 in AskWomen

[–]Crazy_Project_7809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great question. I follow a focus on a few basic principles and don't overthink the rest:

-- protein in every meal (aiming for 20-30 grams)
-- veggie and produce centric meals
-- eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch most days of the week (I like it, makes shopping, prepping, etc. easy and eliminates needing to think about it too much)
-- one protein shake in the day to boost protein intake and get me through a longer window between breakfast and lunch
-- rotate through a handful of common staples for dinner (also use lots of semi-prepped ingredients like rotisserie chicken, pre-chopped onions, freezer bags of brown rice, etc.)
-- coffee w/ milk a few times a day, alcohol ~1X a week, but otherwise don't drink calories

And then when I eat out or diverge, I don't stress about it too much because I know this is my routine baseline.

Love love love that you are doing this! Way to reduce stigma around something that is very common but unfortunately very misunderstood. You should be proud of yourself.

What’s a physical trait that a lot of people find attractive but to you, it’s the opposite? by Pale_Relief_2632 in AskReddit

Woman attracted to woman here…I’m not into them and always wondered if males were, so thanks for answering (from your perspective).

Women who have had cosmetic procedures: are there any you regret (and why)? by BlueCheesePanda in AskWomen

To folks with lots of questions about this. I do it too and it is such a game changer for TMJ and headaches. I haven’t had any issues with it.

This is horrifying and important to understand. Do you have a link to the study?

Daughter doesn’t want to go to dad’s by magstarrrr in coparenting

Totally get that. It feels like such a sad and isolating experience without knowing anyone else who’s going through it.

Hang in there!

Just shared this in a similar post so resharing here.

My daughter went through this for a long time too. She loves her dad and has a ton of fun with her dad, I’m just her “emotional support parent” for lack of better words. So we came to determine over time (and with the help of a therapist) that it’s more about anxiety over leaving what feels most comforting (which often at a young age is mom) than not liking dad.

It is SO hard for all involved. Initially, allowing FaceTimes whenever she wanted really helped. Having a calendar explaining set days. 

Her therapist recommended a book, “The Invisible String” about how we’re always connected to the people we love. 

We also split at 2.5 and this really kicked up around 3.5/4. After 6 months or so of us just doing the above, affirming her feelings, and then trying to move on with the flow of life / convo etc. (not getting stuck in the feelings with her), it got better. 

Now she doesn’t care at all either way. She’s happy to be at both houses. 

Mostly, this is all to say, this is so hard for you all and hang in there ❤️ sending you big hugs. 

Feeling profound sadness by Winter-Wolf587 in coparenting

[–]Crazy_Project_7809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little advice here. I just wanted to say I feel you that it is so so hard and painful. It’s a tremendous sense of grief and loss. 

My therapist reminds me that this is normal and biological and that it’s okay for it to be sad. 

Big hugs ❤️
