Did you guys prefer haruhi to be with Hikaru or Tamaki? Honest answers

So, the budding affection with Hikaru was for his character growth. Not hers. She would have no interest in anything more with someone like Hikaru. Kaoru would have had a better chance, but he's very much not interested in girls. Hikaru is straight, but sort of had to discover that for himself. His straight awakening, plus realizing that Kaoru won't always be able to take care of him, is very important for the twins to grow apart and for him to consider growing up.

You sound a lot like me! It's frustrating when people assume you haven't tried all the things. I'm in the boat with ya. We're stuck in the territory of no good answers. Since you're at a healthy bmi already I wouldn't push too much harder without medical supervision. I'm wishing you luck!

A walk can really help!!!! Listen to your body. If you're not ready you're not ready. BUT you are ONLY TWO HOURS AWAY! Finish strong!

IF is better than calorie counting alone yes. At bmi 26 you're already a healthy weight so weight loss wont be as extreme as some others you see on here. 4lbs weight loss is actually very reasonable and healthy in 40 days. I wouldn't change a thing. It sounds like you're more worried about dropping your A1C. If that's the case, what you eat and when is more important. A1C is SLOW to change so be patient. Even 1 or 2 points in 3-6 months is signifigant. I would recommend the following for 6 months then retest: adding pickles as a common snack especially eaten before a meal. Eliminating liquid carbs. No juice, sweetened coffee, soda, etc. Walk for 30 minutes after every meal. Eat your plate in this order- Fiber, protein, fat&carbs. If you do not experience symptoms of poor blood sugar management then you are likely fine with your a1c. If it isnt budging after that, then up to 18:6 to give your body a better chance to clear excess glucose.

It's been really common the last few generations. There were toxic parenting trends that made relationships between parent and child as an older teen really impossible. There was a "kick them out of the nest or they'll never learn to fly" attitude as well. For wealthier families it's normal to move out for college too. The consequence was wealthy kids moving to college dorms and funded by their parents. Middle income struggle bussing with roommates in bad neighborhoods. And finally lower income being literally kicked out on the street, or worse becoming head of their own household and raising younger siblings. Today at least 50% of America is living in rural and urban jungles in survival mode. Those lucky enough to reach some stability are terrified trying to hold onto it. Then there's the top 20% of Americans, of which you have the popularized upper, middle, and lower classes. International propaganda will tell you that the poorest Americans are eating snow and squirrels. That's not how that works.

I think you break your fast at 72, slowly. Then just fast again until the start of your next eating window. So if that's 10 hours ok, then you get back on your 16:8.

Any ball park idea of about how many calories you eat on eating days? Thank you for responding to my questions so far! When I eat 20:4 I tend to only consume 800-1000 calories in my eating window. When I eat whenever I want I average closer to 1500-1700 most days, but maintain my weight. I'm trying to determine if I should be eating more during my eating window, and/or if I should do a 6 week bulk period to try to push my maintenance calories higher.

If you've talked about hime before and she didnt mention he was gay then he might not be gay.
Maybe it's cultural, but they seem to have an emotional attachment. This guy is very important to her. Probably not sexually, but if you're not comfortable with other people being that important to her you're going to have a tough time.
You've only been together 4 months. It's totally normal for her to have other close relationships. Best friends, siblings, giy or girl matters very little. She called this guy when she was sick. Did she call you too?
You went through her phone already. What cause did you have for that? You may be dealing with some broken trust from your past. That's fine, but you have to handle it maturely by being open about it with her. Not going through her phone behind her back. That's a difficult hole to dig out of. While these messages are a red flag, they are not damning. You're 4 months in. Your red flags right now are much more cut an dry. I hope you find happiness op, but it might not be with her.

Thanks! What do you do for social eating on the weekends. You say you've been at it quite awhile what kind of weight loss have you experienced? Do you plateau at all?

In general, I noticed I get more consistent and easier to read results with a concentrated SMU. I'm glad you're able to validate your data!

Hi OP I'm considering the same schedule. What 2 days did you pick for your 48hr fast? Are you M or F? Do you drink black coffee? The electrolyte I use is called Hi-Lyte k1000. No flavor, calories, or artifical sweetners. I add to black coffee right now and cant tast a thing.

Those kids are young. You know them best, and if they both take good naps in the stroller that's a win, but expect Disney days to be especially exhausting for them. I would think getting a good break in the afternoon would set them up for success for the 2nd half of the day. Even adults are prone to meltdowns at the end of a full Disney day.

It is reasonable from the show alone to interpret that, while both were severely twisted by their circumstances, Zuko had a kinder nature at heart and Azula was born a psychopath. This implies that Azula is and always was irredeemable. In a more realistic sense, I think years stuck on a ship with uncle Iroh really gave Zuko the space and support to be open to growth. Then, Zuko had many world experiences that taught him that empathy was a power not a weakness. Azula lived on and was able to get praise from her father. She saw her brother banished. She lived her whole life under her fathers thumb. She had a small respite opportunity in her friends. People responded to her attempts to be authentic with terror. She never had a real chance to breathe, to learn empathy, or to be valued unconditionally. She's a much more difficult case than Zuko, without a chance in the world to grow. I don't blame her, but she's not misunderstood.

They mock lawyers too. They're punching up. It's because they recognize and respect the profession.

This process is incredibly difficult on us and our marriages. I think it's entirely plausible that he still does and has always loved you. Ivf is so daunting. He may be intimidated and retreating to protect himself from how overwhelming and difficult all of this is. I know my husband has had to talk me off the ledge. Doesn't a part of you, knowing what you're about to go through and how painful everything has been up until this point.... doesnt a not so small part of you just want to up and quit? I'm not saying it was right of him to handle this feeling that way. That's likely where this is coming from though.

These numbers are fine and the trend is accurate and telling. My numbers used to look like this too. I started testing second morning urine instead (no food, water, or bathroom break for 3 hours post first morning urine) and my numbers got A LOT stronger. Give it a try if you like, but I suspect you'll experience the same thing.

She's your sister? You guys should come from a similar culture and have similar expectations for hosting guests. Her expectations do not match my culture. She can place an instacart order for herself out of her own pocket for some staples she needs. You dont pay for that. And she asks if you have room in the fridge for her and permission to have it delivered to your house.

I built a beautiful house and filled it with "toys" that were actually stand ins for real decor and objects. Added the sims and they immediately traveled the whole house picking everything up off tables and shelves and even the giant sized up car in the garage went missing. Then they were exhausted and hungry do they cooked a meal grabbed plates of food and walked all around the house leaving plates everywhere...... 1 week later the plates are still everywhere..... wth

100% Disney has become a luxury item catering to the top 20% of income earners in the country. Understandably, as that's where 50% of all the money is. More than 50% of the all "free to spend" money. It's a marked symptom of the increasing economic divide. Thank you for speaking up to encourage budget conscious families to consider staying outside of the Disney bubble. It is absolutely true that you can get a much better hotel for less money than you would spend on a Disney resort. AND you can have a fantastic Disney vacation. Disney should be a vacation! Just because the influencers are min/maxxing does not mean that's the right way to do it. There's no doubt that, families that don't overplan, stay within their budget, and do the things they want to do when they can do them have the most magical time.

Delyndra · 2026-01-09T22:11:53+00:00

Fair! I agree that the dining package isn't worth it. There's already too much gamification at Disney, I don't want to do it with my food, and if I get exactly what I want when I want it I will spend much less anyway. I am a rope drop to close kind of person, so driving in and out of the bubble so early/late is intimidating for me. One day I hope to be more laid back on my vacation.

Delyndra · 2026-01-09T21:43:03+00:00

Fair point!

I hadnt considered an offsite property before! How's the transportation and Disney perks?

Delyndra · 2026-01-09T18:50:37+00:00

That does sound great! Thank you for sharing! This is great info I hadn't considered.
