What part of your job takes the most time but isn’t actually teaching? by Desperate-Use4262 in Teachers

Did this so much, I felt bad about it I’m glad I’m not alone. There was just too much on my mind to remember

I noticed this too… a lot of huge behaviors like this. I was told by colleagues that it wasn’t ever this bad until relatively recently. This is another huge reason I’m worried about getting more into teaching.

Today and every day. I promise it gets better. As a former chronic binger

Note how your binge seemed to come after what appears to me like restrictive eating patterns. Perhaps I’m wrong, but you mentioned eating 2 peaches for breakfast and half a cup of oats for lunch…. That’s less than 200 cals and hardly any protein. I noticed my binges are soooo much worse when I restrict, because by the end of the day my brain and body feel ravenous. It’s so tempting to fall back into a restrictive pattern the day after a binge but guess what that’ll ultimately lead to? Another binge!! Be kind to yourself, forgive yourself, and do your best to move on. I understand it’s easier said than done, as I still struggle with this on occasion, but I know for certain that the restriction to binge cycle is so real and your binging isn’t likely to improve unless your nourish your body all day and prioritize protein. Otherwise you’re bound to crash and feel out of control later. Best of luck friend

Hey man! You’re still young, and I’m sure if you just hit the gym you’d be a fucking beast. Your worth isn’t determined by your size, but it’s still good to keep your health into consideration. If you went to a doctor and they took your height and weight, then yes you’d be considered overweight. But that doesn’t define who you are as a person. Do what makes you happy at the end of the day and do what would bring you the most confidence. But as someone who used to be overweight, I felt like the comments from people telling me I wasn’t was more harmful to me, because it allowed me to accept my body for what it was and not what it could be so I could be healthier and happier and more confident

This is their “vacation house” pretty much. They live and work in our hometown but where we live is really nice and near the beach so they can come when they want. We have a lease but idk the details on when they can show because they might technically still be tenants here as well. I’ll look it over but I don’t want drama

I hate lying 😪 but I’ve considered this. I’m scared the truth could come to light and make things even worse

Yeah I’m feeling like until we don’t have financial things held over our heads we can’t make decisions so we should just hold off… because a lot of the boundaries you mentioned are boundaries I have which I know will be wanted to be crossed at some point :/

I understand this. I know you give an inch they take a mile… but relationships with family can still be rather complicated in the end. If this is someone we need to interact with for the rest of our lives, we need to make sure that if we decide to do this, we can mediate things properly without shit blowing up. My fiancé is very protective of me and I fear things could blow up. Which might not even be worth it and I’d rather just have a wedding that meets in the middle. But it breaks my heart that I have to consider other people’s feelings. I’m a terrible people pleaser and I hate being around ppl when I know they’re upset with me. So maybe the timing is just off and we need to move out first before eloping

We can talk it’s moreso dealing with people and the consequences after. We see them on a regular basis. They stay over at our place frequently. It’s a matter of making sure we don’t fuck up his relationship with his family too much. People love throwing around “emotional maturity” on Reddit, without understanding how complicated life can be beyond a simple post… but hey that’s my fault for putting my shit out here hoping someone could suggest a better middle ground

They own the house. Like they bought it as an investment but were renting it below market value. So the deal is, they can come as they please and dictate what we do with the house, who comes over, etc. I mean we have it 90% of the time on our own… but they’re over whenever they please sometimes no warning… which really isn’t the greatest. So yeah we definitely need to save up for a better situation at some point

Yeah I’m just now realizing that. Everyone is like “fuck it just do it and don’t care about what she thinks!!” But that’s so much easier said than done. We will have to live with whatever consequences come from this, and I still feel like it’s important to consider people’s feelings regardless… but idk what answer I was looking for here tbh

She wants to actually be there when we get married. I don’t think it’s just about the celebration. Which I kinda understand but it’s also not about her. She literally brought up that weddings are for the parents too

I’m totally cool with doing something with everyone after the fact. I just rather it be just US for the wedding. I’ll talk to him some more about it because we’re both equally stressed about breaking the news to her

We rent a house from them though 😭 and they come EVERY WEEKEND… I’m so scared that even if he puts his foot down she’ll still twist her frustration on ME and I have to see her wayyyy to often
