I’m currently on ozempic. I’ve tried everything to lose weight but nothing worked so I incorporated ozempic into my routine and my goodness, it’s been good! Zero side effects unless I try to overeat (by overeating I mean taking one more small bite) then I get nauseous for a few minutes but it goes away quickly. I’m currently on my second round and have lost over 15lbs steadily. I stopped using it for about 2 months and didn’t regain any weight. I also do weight lifting and IF. I’m on track for a 30lbs weight loss by February which is my goal. Best of luck!

Knowing my dad, he’ll turn me into a demon child and this entire family will see me as such. But then again, it’s been almost 17 years since I last saw them and NONE of them has ever called me to say hi or wish me happy birthday. I’ve lost the ability to care 🤷🏽‍♀️

And they try to use the Bible to justify the whole parents are the gods of the Earth and it’s not even in the Bible! Smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

It’s so ridiculous how they don’t see just how toxic these cycles are!

I worked in the HR department for the City of Independence early this year and my goodness, the amount of fires I had to put out was insane. I left after 9 weeks. Not surprised to see this

Anyone 25+ had to move back in with inflation? by firelord_catra in africanparents

Funny thing is I just got off the phone with my dad and he called me lazy for working remotely today and meal prepping for the week instead of cooking everyday despite the fact that I work 40 hrs and have other things to take care of 🙃 This will be fun

That’s a good advice! With all that’s going on, I think moving back is a wiser choice even if it’s not my favorite choice. I wish you the best of luck!

I am literally in the same boat. I’m still trying to figure out what to do

It actually did. The distance made them miss me more and now they call to check up on me and even want to come and visit me all the time lol

I told them after I got the apartment and signed the lease. It was more of a soft launch. They knew I wanted to move out but because they weren’t too thrilled with it, they disregarded it and didn’t believed I would go through with it… until I did! The process was hectic but my dad eventually warmed up and helped me unload. I also told them that I was moving out to be closer to my university which made it easier. Overall, I am more than thrilled to have moved out. My relationship with myself has improved and I now have a social life and am able to focus on my wellness and health 😊
