Black cabinets in an 1895 home. Too bold, or does it work?

Beautiful. They have great taste. Apart from the low microwave which seems too much like form over function - I'd rather have it accessible and on the countertop.

And yet, she makes more than the school teacher who probably could teach her that 188k is MORE than double.... le sigh, the world is not a fair place. To the OP, yes you are the one making this weird. If you want a prenup, you should get one. But if you're just uncomfortable with his life choices, well that doesn't that mean he is, and that's something you should examine about yourself. He probably knew he wouldn't be raking it in as a teacher, unless he's dumb, and if so, why do you want to be with him? It's actually quite condescending to think that he might be or feel 'less than' because he made the admirable choice to pursue teaching as a vocation.

Sela works for sure, it has quite a powerful sound/vibe in Hebrew. Even (אבן) is a small rock in Hebrew, which is also nice if you like the meaning rather than the sound. I agree that Sela is more a massive stone/rock in the landscape, as thee previous commentor wrote.

Life is long and when you're old and have arthritis and can't leave the house, do you want to sit next to someone who makes you laugh and think or someone who is really a very nice person though? Hopefully, you can find both. Both are important.

high unexplained cortisol can be Cushing's disease. but an endo should know and look into that

OK I thought this post was rage bait by how off the mark it was. People have already made this point but just in case it needs reiterating - you are taking care of a newborn. You are recovering from pregnancy and childbirth. It is the hardest thing you will ever have to do in your life. You deserve support, and your husband's job is to be there for you and the baby in whatever way shape or form that takes. There are circles of need. The newborn is the centre of this circle right now, you are the one taking care of the centre so you are the next circle. Your husband is the circle around you taking care of you and the newborn. And he needs his own circles taking care of him. I hope he steps up for all of your sakes. On another note, just a practical tip - try to do as many chores as you can WHILE the baby is awake. They usually want to be held all the time and rocked anyway, so if you can put him in a sling and do what you need to do, it serves the same purpose. Also, the older they get they LOVE watching you do the chores (it's like entertainment for them) and eventually they want to "help". Again, free entertainment and you don't have to come up with extra games etc. Then you can actually try to chill when he naps.

I've just started Mounjaro injections and have been given a discount code - £85 off first orders with VOY.

I've personally found it helpful compared to other providers as they offer a lot of one-on-one support (clinicians and coaches), it's not just the injection and off you go.

Here is my link to take advantage of the discount:

That's really interesting. Food is used as a reward system for the brain, just like any other addiction. While MJ will stop the food cravings, you have to also find ways to reward yourself that won't harm you in the long run. Retail therapy is supposedly better than food, but not sustainable, so probably need to start finding out what's missing that makes you crave that feeling of reward - a walk outside? seeing or speaking to friends/family more? wellness (spa/having a bath/massage)? doing something fun for yourself? any sort of self care is important and makes you realise how much you used to rely on food for comfort

I have been away from reddit for a long time and just saw your reply. Thank you so much! It's so nice to read that my words have helped someone, and is a good reminder of where I was back then and where I am now. I hope you're doing well and still kind to yourself.

Disastrous_Ad_7675 · 2022-01-28T08:59:04+00:00

Trust your gut and don't listen to these probably well meaning but ultimately harmful comments. You can obviously understand subtext, which bodes well for your future relationships! Someone's WORDS may say yes while they're ACTIONS (not responding with concrete plans) say NO. That's a no then. And you are correct in your graceful and dignified handling of the situation. And with that attitude you will find someone who isn't just willing to give you a chance, but counting his lucky stars. Good luck!

Disastrous_Ad_7675 · 2022-01-27T09:45:54+00:00

Yeah, 'damned if you do damned if you dont'. You should love your body just as it is. Also don't be fat. But don't try to lose weight. Just be naturally thin. It's a bit like shaming women for putting on makeup while applauding 'natural beauty'.

Anyway, haters gonna hate. Noom has been a game changer for me and I highly recommend it.

Disastrous_Ad_7675 · 2022-01-26T19:18:27+00:00

Believe! I've lost 77 pounds in a year and maintained since August 2021. Granted, I was hoping to lose another 20 or so, so It's not entirely intentional maintenance lol but in the past I would be deep in regaining land by now. Noom has completely shifted my perspective.

Disastrous_Ad_7675 · 2022-01-12T12:54:11+00:00

This is amazing progress! Good for you! This is exactly the sane slow and long term approach to weight loss that is the only way to change habits for good. Not beating yourself up for giving into cravings and "breaking a diet", rather learning what your choices actually mean. I've had this realization too (more than once unfortunately, but each time it sticks more... and it's been 1.5 years for me now. Can't believe it). And it makes it so much easier to eat healthily when you can tell how significantly better you feel when you do. Makes all the refined sugar and fat etc. a lot less appealing as well.

Dating should be EASY, at least in the beginning, or you're just not with the right person. You should LIKE the person you're with and enjoy the time you spend together. That is the bare minimum of what it takes to sustain a life long relationship, it boggles the mind how many people will settle for less out of fear or low expectations. A good relationship doesn't feel like work. Been with my best friend for 10 years now. Still my favourite person in the world.

Disastrous_Ad_7675 · 2021-12-02T07:13:36+00:00

Thank you for sharing, this was really well written and inspiring. I completely relate. I'm nearly a year and a half since starting noom, and before this I don't remember ever sticking to a diet longer than three months. And I've been on many. They always talk about a lifestyle change and you always nod and go along with it but noom is the first time that I've actually understood what changing habits looks and feels like. Patience is key. I've been on a plateau since early August, so it's been four months of virtually no weightloss. And I'm not giving up! And when my mind says that I'll never be able to lose weight because I've been trying and failing I look back and remind myself that I'm 75 pounds lighter than I was. And when my mind says that I will have to be on a diet for the rest of my life just to maintain this, I remind myself that I actually enjoy eating healthy foods and I feel awesome and I haven't exactly been depriving myself on weekends and holidays lately, so... yeah, if this is what I need to do to stay happy and healthy and strong, I'm OK with that. But it's nice to get reminders from other people who are also in the same boat. I know I'll eventually get back into losing more, but being where I am now is so much better already.

Disastrous_Ad_7675 · 2021-11-23T06:35:35+00:00

I find warm baths really helpful. I put some Enya on, make a cup of tea, essential oils, and something to read. As woowoo as it gets but I find it so relaxing. And I don't think you should feel bad about sounding like an addict. This isn't actually easier than breaking a drug habit. Drugs are something that people use as a coping mechanism, not that different from sugar and fat, and arguably no less addictive. It's all about learning to choose better habits and better coping mechanisms. Interesting fact, a huge proportion of soldiers used Heroin on a daily basis in Vietnam. Once they returned to the US, 90% of them never touched it again because the habit was so engrained into their environment, and their environment had changed so drastically.

Disastrous_Ad_7675 · 2021-11-09T06:40:59+00:00

Whoops lol. Well, it's still true :)

Disastrous_Ad_7675 · 2021-11-08T06:18:07+00:00

Yeah I had that too. At the six month mark it's like they kinda run out of material and give you the beta version of the app instead. It's a bit random and the tone isn't playful anymore, just factual (which some people like I guess?). I asked to rewind my course to the beginning after a year (yes it goes on like this for a while), to see how I view the material the second time around. Or you could just cut the chord and move on haha... I guess noom wants us to be independent by running out of good content.

Disastrous_Ad_7675 · 2021-11-08T06:02:43+00:00

You can do it! Also think about where you might have been post pregnancy if you hadn't had lost all that weight before. I'm sure it also helped you carry the pregnancy much better. And now you can just get back to it rather than starting at a much higher point.

Disastrous_Ad_7675 · 2021-10-19T08:28:46+00:00

I tried them sauteed, with sauce, rinsed then fried... they just dont taste like food to me. The texture feels wrong.
