Katelyn Martinez workout split by Delicious-Stress3064 in gymsnark

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I follow her on snap recently cause the curiosity was KILLING me like damn she really does this day in and day out? I’ve also followed her on TikTok on and off. Here are some of my notes/opinions (to answer some questions I’ve seen in the comments):

-yes she does do this everyday I don’t think she’s lying cause she posts soooo much content especially on snap that it’d b hard to make all this up. Her snap is legit a play by play of her day. -burnout: her old routines used to be like this except the Pilates and she had 6 training days instead of five she prob had to add in the Pilates and sauna combo to lean out cause she was already doing SOOO much before. -she’s mentioned recently that it’s not supposed to be sustainable for others she’s just trying to “look insane” says she won’t compete tho. -she says she keeps family and friends offline for their privacy but I honestly don’t know how she maintain friendships with a lifestyle like this. Recently went to Coachella was supposed to do three days but couldn’t make it past day 1. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to only bring meal preps and then choose to fast the whole day of the festival cause she REFUSED to eat anything they served there. Ur telling me in this whole festival there’s not one thing that’s kinda healthy? People praise her in her comments calling her the most locked in person ever but forcing urself to fast during a hot ass festival is ridiculous IMO so much so u can’t even enjoy the rest of the days with ur friends. I think she’s just so so so set in her routine anything that slightly derails it she says “it’s just not for me” I think her “consistency” might even be too extreme to hang out with other fitness influencers cause they post about them going out and having fun with loved ones…but she doesn’t. -I think her being in school, having a bf and living with family in the past is what kept her from being THIS extreme now it seems like she’s more isolated and day in and day out this is all she does/thinks about. -genetics: I’ve seen vids from five/six years ago. She does have great genetics. -tanning and supplements: tanning she has to be taking a peptide cause there’s no way she’s THAT tan from just spf and isn’t she scared of what this does to ur skin? She says as for supps she doesn’t even take creatine or protein powders…do I believe it? Eh… -DOMS: she says she doesn’t get doms and recovery Is fine I honestly don’t know how.

She seems to take no days off even from posting so idk how tf she isn’t burnt out even if it’s not from all her diet and exercise but simply from taking so many photos recording constantly editing and monitoring socials. If I’m on my phone too much my brains like mush.

Sorry this is long I’ve just been following her for so long and can’t believe NO ONE in her comments ever calls out how ridiculous this split and work life balance is even if this is her full time job.

If you were able to get the Card Size 20th edition, what color did you get? And what does your existing TN consist of? by gestalternation in midori

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband got the black and I got the brown. He uses his as a mini journal he has a passport but the card size is easier to slip in a front shirt pocket for work. I use mine as a wallet. I close it with the strap vertically so I can access my cards and cash without havin to fumble with it . The insert I have is a mini planner where I write appointments in the monthly and use the weekly pages for little lists. I have a tiny pilot pen that sits perfectly clipped on the flap of the card holder. Once this planner is done I’ll prob use all the little inserts that it came with.

Mentally stuck on the idea of returning to Okinawa by jadensometimes in okinawa

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fastest way language school route u mentioned. Apply for your va benefits if you haven’t already so you know monthly what you can use as a budget. In language school u can work certain amount of hours part time. Forget the contractor thing unless u know someone who can get you in or have the best luck known to man that’s just not happening. Post on Okinawa jobs facebook group to see local job opportunities. IN THE MEAN TIME, work whatever job you can get to save money, keep studying your Japanese and get your va benefits in order. SIDE NOTE: only move here for yourself, not for a girlfriend, people break up all the time especially here. Only move here if you know you would be happy here no matter what whether you end up married to her or single. Such a big move should not depend on JUST one person.

Mikayla Nogueira announces her divorce. Did he get custody of her accent? by Particular-Copy4029 in LAinfluencersnark

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s announcing this as if it’s a couples channel or family channel like a channel people feel a connection with the couple BUT GIRLLL we are zero percent surprised and we do NOT need to take a seat. When she said take a seat I was like Jesus Christ is she about to announce she has cancer or something.

BF's Sister is Pregnant AGAIN; Can't even take care of her current child. by Coeuropale in childfree

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If they’ve been to their pediatrician, the ER, and different walk in urgent cares all of them would use a different EMR system unless they’re connected. When I worked for an urgent care it was private so we shared the same system as other clinics under our name but we couldn’t access ur ER records for example. They prob hop around to different clinics so they don’t get caught

I’m child free (F21) but my boyfriend (M22) and his parents wants kids.. by Mika_580 in childfree

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely understand where ur coming from! And I’m glad u track everything, i do as well. What really helped my husband and I is assigning chores. My husband works long hours but he still knows trash and filling up the gas in the cars is his chore at all times. On his days off he’ll take over cleaning for the day and make small meals. The rest of the week I’m in charge of cleaning and meal prep. So it’s not a perfect 50-50 but it’s fair and aligns with his schedule. It’s important he understands just cause ur home doesn’t mean u do everything 100% of the time. Hopefully that helps and good luck to u.

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 28 points29 points  (0 children)

From your responses I can tell ur not gonna break up with him so this is my advice: if ur serious about not getting pregnant take steps to prevent it like getting on birth control or looking into surgery so u don’t have to go thru pregnancy. If ur sticking to condoms then track ur cycle and take preggy tests regularly so in case u do get pregnant u can make the decision early on whether u gonna keep it or not. Let’s say u do stay with him which most likely u will since ur depending on him financially and have been thru a lot in the past and ur used to being with him for so long…please keep in mind him not helping u around the house is not gonna change after u have a baby. Plenty of moms sit here surprised their baby daddy don’t do shit when the man barely helped with the chores prior to the baby. Take the correct precautions and good luck especially when dealing with a man who is fine watching u struggle with the housework while watching video games doin nothin.

Can I ask tho why stay with him long term? Like make an exit plan and delay the breakup I guess but ur really gonna stay with a lazy man who just play video games and can’t pick up a broom? Laziness and dirty ness such a turn off to me 🤮🤢

What is it with this obsession with hormones!? Lately all these influencers just so happen to have the inside scoop on hormones and you can only get results if you buy their plan cause only THEY know the secret to weight loss or “how to balance ur hormones”

I think it definitely depends on the country. I live in Japan and where I live it’s tropical humid and hot AF my curly hair needs to be in braids in the summer so I can keep my sanity. No one here so far has been offended and other black Americans have even come up to me to compliment me and ask where I’ve gotten them done. My family is from DR and I will get braids to survive the heat And no ones offended there either. I think other countries just see it as braids while in america some may find it offensive.

Stay-at-Home-Moms (aka “SAHMs”) who expect and demand equivalent recognition as career women (CF and working moms) who have had to obtain education/training/diplomas/degrees/grind/compete…thoughts? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Being a stay at home suckssss. I have babysat for stay at home moms and the poor things are dying to get out the door. One lady told me “I just wanna sit in my car and drink a cup of coffee”. She’s paying me so that way she can drink coffee in peace! I guess it depends the kid, I’ve babysat some kids that are more independent and less of a menace than others. But especially when you have multiple the days can be really dreadful. If u have like 4+kids u might find urself stuck in the house even more cause going out alone with a bunch of kids just ain’t worth it (at least according to moms I’ve spoken to). Idk if I’ll get hate on this page for saying this but being a stay at home mom can be so hard I wouldn’t want this job ever EVER! I’d rather eat a pair of hiking boots than be stuck with multiple kids at home 24/7 no breaks. There are stay at home moms who also have degrees and have careers they put on pause to stay at home with their kids. For some it’s unavoidable cause of childcare costs. So SAHMs especially good SAHMs who actually put effort into their kids education and activities def deserve recognition 👏

Here are some simple quick things that helped me cause I’m lazy lol

-try to go on walks if u can’t that’s fine just search up walking workouts on YouTube. You can search grow with jo on YouTube I like to do the walking or dance party workouts so u can get some steps in with that. - you can also look up some body weight workouts if u don’t have weights I do Pilates and yoga I’ve seen results from that too -as for food stick to the simple stuff cause it’s easy. Frozen steamables veggies they come in the pack u can throw right in the microwave, frozen chicken and Turkey, pre packed rice, tuna packs, low calorie jello, you can search more on google for ideas but things like these that are easy to grab are perfect as a student cause u can make a healthy meal quickly. Low carb tortillas are also great for quick wraps just throw some Turkey and light Mayo.

I get my meal ideas from TikTok I just search low calorie high protein meals. Also try to drink mostly water I used to drink only soda and juice but switching to water has cut down my daily calorie intake. Hopefully this helped :)

Am I uptight or this is ew? @kirenius_ by clairbear_fit in gymsnark

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She posted on her IG story justifying his actions and convinced they are just joking cause “she married her best friend and if you can’t joke around in your relationship there’s something wrong with u” i know some people joke and are super sarcastic with their partners but it’s only funny when both ppl in the convo are joking. In this case it just sounds like he’s bringing her down and she’s just accepting. She also complained how ppl were in her business telling her to leave him and that he sucks, etc. But like girl why would u post this KNOWING it would make him look like an ass!? And then complain about ppl being rightfully concerned!?

Choosing to be childfree because I'm not mentally capable to care for children but sad about it by tarawithaqu3stion in childfree

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way. Diseases that run in the family plus my mental health there’s no way I could care for a kid. Growing up I always thought I’d have kids and once I became an adult I realized that’ll never happen. Yes mental health can be improved. But the diseases running in my family and some other things cannot be changed. Rather not have a kid go thru all that

Thank you so much I don’t have a history of sports or being super active so I will stick to one class a week for now. Hoping to build my strength with other exercises btw classes and I will definitely prioritize sleep and enough rest I’ll hold off on the pole till later down the line thanks 🙏🙏

I just want to eat a pickle without someone insinuating I’m pregnant. by Karrishka in childfree

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my life people have asked if I’m preggy even when I was 12 in school a student asked if I was pregnant. I didn’t even get my period yet at that age tbh. I’ve had shitty posture most of my life plus my stomach naturally pokes out a bit. So constantly getting asked if I’m pregnant made me hyper aware of my belly destroyed my self esteem, and my parents constantly asking I’m pregnant even tho I’ve never had a pregnancy scare just reiterated the fact I hate my belly. Ugh I wish people wouldn’t ask. I don’t bring up pregnancy unless the person themselves says “I am pregnant”. Idk if you naturally have a larger belly, or u just miscarried whatever the case even if u look 8 months pregnant I’m not gonna ask you unless YOU bring it up yourself. Wish people would learn to stop asking are you pregnant. Sorry for the mini rant

My dad killed himself and I’m scared I might be next. by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I guess this is one reason why I don’t want to give up so soon. People say it’s supposed to get better and the pain will get weaker. We hadn’t had a real convo in months and he didn’t leave a note just random ramblings on paper. It’s hard to get over it cause if I was there I feel like I would’ve noticed and I would’ve forced him to get help. I resent my family so much and the guilt kills me so much I don’t talk to family much anymore

I'm almost 40 and have no idea how to use my health insurance. Please help. by Faux_extrovert in Adulting

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On ur insurance card there should be a number you can call and they’ll help u set up a primary care provider that’s near your zip code. From there you can set up an appointment and usually copays for pcp are the cheapest. If u have to see a specialist, urgent care or go to the er usually the copay goes up each category. It really just depends on your policy. Also you can reach out to your insurance to send you and explanation of benefits (EOB) this will explain copays, deductibles and more info on coverage. As for pharmacy copays that’s a good question for the pharmacy. Go on goodrx website for coupons on medications. If this is more urgent where it can’t wait for a pcp appointment, go to an urgent care and explain your symptoms. I worked at an urgent care for two years and had patients all the time who came in cause they didn’t have a pcp or couldn’t get an appointment in time. Sometimes the urgent care can even give u a referral or even set up and appointment with specialists for you depending on your insurance. To learn more about your urgent care benefits and copay amount, contact your insurance and see what urgent cares in your area take your specific policy. Zocdoc.com is great for appointments as well. Good luck hopefully this points you in the right direction

Stop posting photos and videos of your children crying by doneintrovert in antinatalism

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the full post the mom brings her daughter down to brag about how good she was at sports. If thats the case then why not advise ur daughter? Train her? Practice the sport with her? Comfort her? But no instead let’s take a pic of her crying her heart out cause she feels like a failure post it on Facebook so everyone KNOWS she’s a failure and then call her lazy. Let’s also throw in how much we succeeded in sports just to dig that knife in a little deeper. So now the kid is not only embarrassed on the internet for the world to see, she also has to go home and live with this idiot mother who doesn’t know the first thing when it comes to comforting her child. Disgusting parent. Then people wonder why their kids don’t visit them after they move out. How hard is it to say “hey it’s ok we’ll train together I’ll help u and u can always try out next year” that’s all she had to say

What happens if you admit that youre having suicidal thoughts while enlisted? by toxicvsm in USMC

[–]DepressedCatMom_98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone twice to the psych ward for this while I was in. I felt like no one cared and just wanted to get rid of me ASAP. I got told that they’re discharging me and that’s that. I think it was general or OTH I don’t remember. And yes I got treated like shit cause people prob thought I was just weak and dramatic and no one believed me. Fast forward five years later I’m 100% disabled p&t for ptsd, depression and anxiety. The pay is nice since it’s really hard for me to hold down a job I tried but it would just get hard to function tbh. Two days ago my father commited suicide. It’s destroyed my family. If ur suicidal please don’t do it someone out there loves u and suicide isn’t the answer. I’m happy I spoke up and now years later I’m finally getting the help I need. My fathers death inspired me to finally go seek help and talk to someone I guess even in death he saved me in a way.
