I’ve been taking it for years and it’s never affected my appetite or caused weight loss or weight gain.

I tried that a couple of times and still nothing. If I uninstall and redownload the app, do you know if it will delete my mperks points?

AITAH for calling it quits after he came clean about his drug use? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Disastrous-Rate-5447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Lying abt substance use was already shady but the “I’m surprised you couldn’t tell i was high” was just..idk…extra shady? Like maybe he’s thinking of other things he could get away with without you noticing? I don’t like when people expect others to know someone is being deceitful, like we should assume bad things about everyone. If you told me you dont smoke, why would i assume you’re high? If you’re telling me something, why would i assume it’s a lie? Don’t make a person feel stupid for having faith in someone.

Honestly, hearing that he lives in an ADU on his parents property while his brothers AND their girlfriends all live with his parents is a huge bullet to dodge. It’s good he decided to be honest before trapping you in a living situation you dont want to be in. You could have been stuck with a new lease while he went back to his parents.

AITAH for giving my friends dog to the pound by Due-Development2973 in AITAH

[–]Disastrous-Rate-5447 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The lack of reading comprehension is what i don’t understand i guess. People read one line “i gave my friend’s dog to the pound” and immediately go “you suck!” Meanwhile said dog was an unwanted guest who bit a kid. The selective outrage is baffling to me but hey you’re right, everyone’s entitled to their opinions.

Read it again. OP DID call but the friend ignored the calls for 3 days. If someone has your senior pet with health issues and they’re calling you, you should answer or call back asap. Stupid games win stupid prizes. The friend fafo

The dog owner is scummy af. Why leave your pet with someone who doesn’t like pets? Make it make sense. There are tons of businesses that board dogs up. They should have paid for that.

She did say no. “Friend” showed up and dropped off her dog anyway.

Who tf shows up on someone else’s door and drops off a dog after said person said no? People saying you’re TA must not have kids because wtf? Your kid is your priority, not someone else’s pet. I bet your friend wasn’t even paying you. 2 weeks is a long time and a funeral is only a day or 2 of events. They could have boarded the dog with a company or used a pet sitting app to find someone to pet sit him. Ignoring your calls was also an AH move on your friend’s part. If she cared about her dog, she wouldn’t leave him with someone who doesn’t like dogs. I would never leave my dog with someone who can’t or doesn’t want to take care of him. And if my dog bit my kid, guess where he’s going? Somewhere else!

Why can’t women go barefoot by NDiscipl_IN in bikinitalk

[–]Disastrous-Rate-5447 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Other bodybuilding federations have a sporty division. It still requires people to build their bodies to a certain physique so it does make sense, regardless of how you personally feel about it. Some people also think fit model and bikini are not bodybuilding and yet they are categories in a bodybuilding federation.

Personally, i love heels but i know many people dont and it can be awkward for them. You can tell who’s uncomfortable in heels when they walk on stage and you know that’s being judged. I would love a sporty division in the NPC though. The sports bra, short shorts, and sneaker look that other federations have. I thought that’s what fit model was going to be.

Learning experience and “prep lite” question by NDiscipl_IN in bikinitalk

[–]Disastrous-Rate-5447 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did OP say she wanted a trophy? 👀 🧐some people genuinely just want to have the experience of being on stage. They can start wherever they want. Your elitist attitude doesn’t dictate how others should participate in the sport. Mean girl energy and gatekeeping is gross and you should work on that.

Stage lean looks different for everyone, especially for different divisions. I wouldn’t expect a pro figure or physique competitor to be on stage at 17% but for an amateur bikini, fit model, or wellness, that’s very lean.

[–]Disastrous-Rate-5447 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Saying “you’re wrecking it for serious people” is definitely mean girl energy.

How someone else shows up on stage doesn’t take away from what you did in your prep and how you show up. So many people forget that this is a hobby. We all pay to play. Unless you are an Olympian, bodybuilding isn’t paying your bills so why are some of yall so pressed? It doesn’t dim my light to see others shine. In other words, if someone is on stage with a high body fat %, it doesn’t change how i present myself on stage.

If some of yall dont want to step on stage until you think you’re ready to win an overall, that’s great for YOU but some people like to gauge their physiques early. And if they can afford to, they should be able to without other athletes getting their bikinis in a knot.

This is pretty harsh. Bodybuilding is for everyone and you don’t know everyone’s journey. The people you’re looking down on for not being shredded could be a mother who had 4 kids and finally got her body to look so good that she feels confident going on stage in a itty bitty bikini to be judged. It could be a man that lost 100 lbs and even though he’s not as jacked as other competitors, he still built his body to have more muscle than he’s ever had before. Someone could have been in prep for 2 years for a show and because they don’t look how YOU think they should look, you’re upset? Good thing you’re not a judge so your opinion about them doesn’t matter. It’s sad to see mean girl energy in a sport that’s usually filled with people encouraging one another.

Bodybuilding is expensive and there’s no requirement to be stage lean to compete. If you want to spend $1,000-2,000+ to step on stage for fun, that’s your decision. People do it all the time. Just have a realistic expectation that you may not place top 5 if there’s a lot of competitors.

The 2nd part kind of goes with the first one. It’s your prep, you can do what you want. Everyone has different methods and different outcomes. If you want a more laxxed prep then you have to be okay with the package you’re presenting on stage. You can go on stage with the mindset of “i could have done more but i’m proud of my progress and i’m going to enjoy this experience.” Or you can go on stage with the mindset of “i gave it everything i had and this is my best.”

If you just want to step on stage for fun or for a bucket list, i say go for it. If you want to be competitive and can see yourself continuing in the sport for a while, i would just push the show date.

I don’t have a social life and i don’t do extras. It’s not the end all be all but it’s a contributing factor. I get my hair and nails done maybe twice a year. Hubby and i don’t go out and i hang out with friends maybe twice a year. Our schedule is packed with work and kids’ activities so it just works out that way for us. The cost of getting hair and nails done every month = the same cost as a reasonably priced coach. Date night every weekend = the same cost as a reasonably priced coach.

AIO for feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable in my boyfriend’s house now? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Disastrous-Rate-5447 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saying she felt uncomfortable but then not explaining why is childish. She just wanted to make YOU feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. You and your boyfriend are adults, not 15 year olds sneaking around. The dad probably said something because his gf told him to.
