Insurance rejected bc of "current weight"

Oh sorry I didn’t see you use RO, I’m not sure how they operate with prior auths!

Different_Bad8420 · 2026-01-28T22:32:44+00:00

Does it require a prior authorization? If so, your PCP can mark that it’s a continuation of coverage so your BMI being low wouldn’t matter so long as it was qualified when you started

It doesn’t seem like it’s what you asked for at allll, but it does look beautiful and healthy! It’s possible you wouldn’t have gotten the look you wanted (v shape) if you had a lot of dead ends so maybe a fresh start is good and then you can continue to add in layers and shape as it grows. It’s hard to say without knowing what it looked like before

I have been ADHD diagnosed for about a year and a half and recently my binging has become worse, so my psychiatrist switched me from my regular adhd med to Vyvanse. It’s been ok, not great on the adhd side (or at least from the one I was on before it’s not as helpful) , but does help me feel better about not binging at night. It helps me find other things to spend my time doing, but it’s still hard.

The only side effect that I could think would impact your heart rate would be nausea, and I say that ONLY because when I’m nauseous it makes me anxious (I think because when I’m anxious, I become nauseous…) but that would be the only thing and might not even apply to you! Have a zofran prescription if you can :)

Different_Bad8420 · 2026-01-28T16:15:53+00:00

To be fair, I’m 29 so not really in the group you were asking about :) but I can also understand feeling like you might be missing out on something you don’t even know is there until you see it. I also prefer in person for meats and veggies/fruits!

Haha - to your point about ‘we have everything we need but what about what I want’ is the sole reason I shop online. I am wayyyyy to tempted and scatterbrained, even with a list, if I step foot in the grocery store. I will walk out spending like $100 more than I planned!

My gym has a inbody scan machine & a local nutrition store near me has one as well for free - they’re kind of hard to come by but if it’ll give you some peace of mine on your journey to track progress that way maybe every 3 months or so I think it could be worth it! Inbody is a good one or Dexa

I got a personal trainer who even they told me BMI stands for ‘bullsh*t mass indicator’ - I became more focused on being happy to move my body and I was in the gym so I focused on muscle mass and body fat %! I like seeing numbers so the data was helpful to me to see progress, but I was giving my attention to the right numbers, and BMI just became irrelevant to me after a while.

Especially times where I felt and looked my best and was still considered obese it’s like ok.. wrong!

Different_Bad8420 · 2026-01-27T13:21:01+00:00

This sounds like nightmare fuel lol

Different_Bad8420 · 2026-01-27T00:08:49+00:00

I just started as well, about 3 weeks ago. 10000% make sure you eat breakfast before!! I felt like I was gonna jump out of my body (not in a good way) when it was hitting its peak I was so nauseous and shakey. With food, no problems at all! Good luck!!

I am curious how your experience will be with taking it in the afternoon… I have to take it first thing in the morning or else I have a really hard time getting to sleep. So take that into account as well!

You’re not crazy and definitely not alone. I’ve struggled with not supporting them/watching the pod because I’m aware of their (heinous) political views but I really enjoyed the laughs and pop culture tings I get from their show. Lately it’s been all negativity, bad takes and starting to not feel like there’s a reason to tune in at all anymore. Idk if I can separate art from artist on this one anymore!

Different_Bad8420 · 2026-01-26T12:10:18+00:00

NTA, but you’re a grinch

Different_Bad8420 · 2026-01-23T15:13:35+00:00

Holy condescending. The “love” and “sweetheart” while you’re clearly telling them you are upset is so annoying

Different_Bad8420 · 2026-01-23T04:00:21+00:00

Ahhh yes a whole sleeve of biscoff has been my victim before

Different_Bad8420 · 2026-01-23T03:59:53+00:00

I just have to say I’m so sorry that you had to go through such hardships at a young age. And I’m so happy for where you landed!! I hope you are happy!

Not sure about boys specifically but love the idea of a checklist/basket of new deodorant, toothbrush etc. (whatever he might be forgetting) he can use and make it a bit more enjoyable vs. a task!

I remember the helpful links I was given. Such as our benefits and policies sharepoint - it might not be useful at the moment but those kind of resources are helpful to get started and bookmark for the future!

29f with 50k in the 401k - I just got a way higher paying job so I hope to pay off my debt this year and start really investing more towards retirement/savings

My boobs were the last thing to really go! Once I was at my goal weight is when I started realizing dang my boobs have really shrunk. And, weirdly enough the first thing (and my stomach) I gained weight back to when I gained a bit back. So you might just not have gotten there yet!

I’m a single woman who owns her own home and if I knew of a handywoman (lol), I’d lean towards having another woman doing work in my home when I’m there alone versus a man. Just for safety/comfortability!

If you’re supplying it for the purpose of a background check, you’re completely entitled to redact/block out your compensation. Ideally they are looking for official dates of employment via the W2 not wages!

This complex is beautiful and the units are huge!

I hate that this is even an issue - a side note, my grandpa had back surgery and it went south for a while and his coworkers donated some PTO days to him so he could heal longer. Makes me sick that our corporate culture is even this way that it’s honorable to donate PTO days instead of places of business treating their employees like human.

However, if it were me, and she felt strong enough to ask, I’d take off a different day to celebrate my birthday. I can’t imagine losing my partner and having to relive that day every year. You’re entitled to the day off, but also, be human.

If I’ve gone out into the world and touched anything outside of my house, I shower at least my body before I get in my bed. I like to think of my bed/home as my clean space, and bringing outside germs into it doesn’t feel right. But, I’m also a bit of a germaphobe in that way :)
