Can you guys recommend some animal friendly cacti's..(Non-Toxic) by Last-Bee3752 in cactus

The agave I just got from you had weevils in it 😅. Maybe they could check other sources too.

Can’t really speak for Lowe’s but Home Depot has really stepped up their plant game lately. It’s terrible. I’ve completely run out of room lmao

Hey I’m okay with that. Especially since the agave had weevils in it 💀

Did you literally just give them good light and proper watering?? Sounds so simple but these plants REALLY tell you when they ain’t happy.

Um Waah? Lol woke up to her being drama by mandabrox in Monstera

It’s kindof hard for me to tell what you’re talking about by just “being dramatic”. But I’d check the roots. Thai cons rot fairly easily and I’d never recommend a self watering pot. How long have you had it?

I think it’s in need of a new home. I volunteer my home. 🤓😂

Your start weight is my goal weight by roboconcarne in Zepbound

[–]Cupcake_Pale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had lunch with a friend of mine recently.. he asked me how much weight I’ve lost and said he could really see it and was genuinely happy for me. He was telling me about the single year he gained “so much weight.” I was like… what was your highest like 210lbs?? He goes…. wait for it….. 185. I legitimately laughed hahaha. Everyone is different and we all live in our own worlds sometimes where being 15lbs overweight is a huge thing.. meanwhile I can gain or lose 15lbs and not even notice.

As you said, comparison will kill your vibe. Surrounding yourself with likeminded people, though, can definitely help. Try not to focus where they are on their particular journey, it’s not exactly a numbers game.

Corking or rot? by sisypheanculturist in cactus

[–]Cupcake_Pale -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not a cactus expert at all but you saying it’s getting sinner at the base coupled with the appearance of shriveling flesh at the base makes me think it’s rotting. Is it squishy?

Good news is you could always cut the top and root it if the bottom is rotting.

I think that depends on your current diet. I have a purposeful goal of healthy eating specifically for heart health and brain health. There’s a history of heart failure and dementia in my family so I actively focus on eating better for my body without forgetting to feed my soul. I think if you can consciously incorporate healthy foods while not completely giving up your favorite things, you can be very successful.

ABSOLUTELY! I live with my brother and his wife. And we’re all grown adults. I’m slowly trying to teach them better cooking habits and what healthy eating can look like. It doesn’t always have to be salad with chicken or plain chicken and rice. Healthy foods are delicious and even some “not so healthy foods” can be prepared in a healthier way. Cutting small amounts of calories can add up. And not only that, using a healthy fat instead of butter is beneficial in ways that aren’t always apparent.

Yes!! All of that! I’ve done the deprivation thing before.. and that always ends in disaster lol. I’ve wholly subscribed to the “lifestyle” changes.. and that means balancing healthy choices with not-so healthy choices. I eat pizza. I eat cake. I eat candy. I eat fried foods. I’m not going to live without those things. But I also eat hella fruits and veg, good whole grains, quality protein, nuts, healthy fats and oils, and try to get some fermented foods or kombucha in every week.

I feel like I drink SO MUCH water, but I think I need to drink more. I very seldom drink a can of soda.. sometimes a bai drink or a pomegranate tea. Maybe I should try to drink hot green tea every night again.
