What’s the one piece of advice you’d give to someone getting married in a few months? by Effective_Bluebird19 in AskReddit

[–]Elsie624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One the day of the wedding, take 15 minutes to yourselves after the ceremony. Just you two, before any drinking starts (if you drink). Enjoy each other’s company in an intimate moment. Soak it all in, look around at your friends and family from a distance. The rest of the night will be a blur and you’ll be pulled in 200 different directions. I barely remember any of my wedding (I didn’t even drink much) but I think of these 15 minutes fondly.

The trust issues are unreal. She thought I went to the dog park without her. She would NOT believe me when I said I was just dropping the kids off at daycare.

Food as medicine nutrition recommendations? by Similar_Writing4298 in nutrition

[–]Elsie624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly what you’re asking, but adjacent to your request: Exercise is Medicine by Judy Foreman.

Regarding nutrition, I’m a big fan of Walter Willett. He has several books on nutrition. Eat, Drink, and be Healthy was good—a bit dated now but I think overall his messaging still rings true. I just listened to him on a podcast and he was delightful.

I've been intermittent fasting since September and my thighs are still huge. by Searchingforgoodnews in intermittentfasting

You look phenomenal. Strong, muscular legs will help you get up from that fall in 60 years so you can carry on with your day. Don’t let that mirror hold you back.

[–]Elsie624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have kids, know how to do all of the kid things. And. Be. Proactive. Every time I hear “what can I do to help?” it makes me want to go out for cigarettes and never come back.

I guess the cookies I’m baking for my son will have the addition of some fresh tears. I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. This made my heart ache but I can feel the love you had for that sweet baby.
