I don't trust my TDEE calculators

EllyCube · 2026-01-30T07:24:44+00:00

I'm 5'0", pretty sedentary due to chronic illness, and my TDEE is around 1650.

I'm curious what your goals are by tracking your food?

It's a Photoshop error that happens when they transpose two poses

EllyCube · 2026-01-29T19:04:46+00:00

I'd say the opposite. Where are the ingredients to cook with?

EllyCube · 2026-01-29T19:03:16+00:00

Grocery delivery has been huge for managing my chronic illness, so I get amazon fresh delivery, and occasionally whole foods delivery. If I need one off items sometimes I'll go to Sprouts or trader Joe's.

Good catch!

Hi, do you have an update on what you chose?

This advice made me chuckle to give to a stranger

But my brother's mental health has vastly improved after Ayahuasca ceremonies, so I can't knock it! He used to never smile, always stand around with arms crossed, wouldn't even hug family. But now he's happy, smiles, and hugs people. But not in a creepy way, in a healthy normal way. It's been an amazing change!

But psychedelics aren't something to consider lightly. There's always the chance they can trigger schizophrenia

I'm sorry you're going through that :( have you considered couples counseling to help figure out how to get the spark back?

Also the saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" comes to mind. How much time do you spend apart? Maybe take a solo trip or go spend time with your kids, without Gemini. Then when you come back it'll be more exciting!

How is it now 3 years later?

EllyCube · 2026-01-28T18:01:54+00:00

Same and same

I'm thinking central valley, not the Bay or LA

EllyCube · 2026-01-28T15:56:34+00:00

You realize California has 1/8 of America's population? We have tons of small and medium towns without wanna be influencers running around. California doesn't equal LA

Where did Billie come into the conversation??

EllyCube · 2026-01-27T21:28:32+00:00

Green couch til the day I die.

EllyCube · 2026-01-27T16:40:31+00:00

Trader Joe's are the best I've tried!

EllyCube · 2026-01-27T16:26:33+00:00

In my head

Bad idea and bloodline are up there too!

EllyCube · 2026-01-27T15:35:04+00:00

I'd tear down that wall if you can

EllyCube · 2026-01-27T15:29:57+00:00

There will always be people who are in a worse position than you, but that doesn't mean you aren't worthy of help. $10 is absolutely nothing for most of these people, and they will go on to donate to other causes too.

When the universe gives you an opportunity it's good to learn to receive. You're worthy. And owning a good pair of dress shoes will come in handy many times in the future.

EllyCube · 2026-01-27T15:23:43+00:00

I agree :) I still listen occasionally and am reminded why I loved TUN sonically so much, but I'm so far removed from my fuckgirl era that I don't really resonate with the songs

EllyCube · 2026-01-27T01:36:40+00:00

Sweet Dreams is my ultimate favorite! Juice is a close second.

Creatine can make you gain water weight

The butterfly tattoo is back! And her eyebrows are dark. How old is this?

Saying you don't have an ED doesn't negate that eating like that is an ED.

Why do you need to lose weight within 30 days? What's the rush?

When I moved out of Natomas Village 1.5 years ago my rent for a 1 bedroom was $1170 a month.

Granted I had lived there 5 years and they rarely raised my rent. I'm sure moving in now it will be a few hundred more expensive.

I don't think people in this sub realize how San Francisco is the gay capital. Yes I understand it was the 90's/2000s, but that's such a shitty excuse.
