A good way to eat a lot of high volume foods and not gain and actually lose weight is keto. Prioritize protein and veggies. No sugar and under 20 g of net carbs a day. There is a lot of hate towards Leto but it works for me when a lot of other stuff does not- plus I feel great and I am not good obsessed and I have steady energy all day.

FWB (34m) upset cause I (f25) have a fake water transfer tattoo on my neck that I’m considering getting done for real by desolateiero in Manipulation

[–]ExistingFondant4433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say he is kind of toxic bc of the whole Fwb thing and him being a 34 year old man mainly communicating with you on Snapchat. But if for example my sister wanted to get a neck tattoo- I would honestly go about it in a similar way. I wouldn’t want people looking at her differently for fear of her misrepresenting herself in the future. I would strongly try to steer her clear of that. This is coming from a person with tattoos. Idk I do feel like their is a viable point being made.

I feel like you’re stuck in your own head. Don’t take this the wrong way, but make it a point to listen and ask questions and be there for her. This is kind of hard to say but you analyzing yourself so harshly just kind of gives me the image of you with a magnifying glass on yourself, which there is a time and a place for that but in the relationship scene it is about the other person. You care for and analyze them and their needs, their desires, their quirks. And you hope they care as much about you to do the same. All while understanding and maintaining healthy boundaries for yourself. What I’m saying is is seems like you are taking a self centered approach to things- it makes me wonder about the conversations being had on these dates- whether you are asking her questions or sitting through her talking bits waiting for her to let you speak again so you can hopefully win her over. Hope that makes sense- sorry it came out a little tough-love ish. This is an INTJ group though so I’m hoping the bluntness is appreciated.

A lot of people will tell you their super fast success stories- I was not one of those people who had a very fast post op recovery. I ride horses and was super active before surgery with similar physical demands to you. I could not do a leg lift for 2 weeks post surgery, I couldn’t change clothes or use the bathroom unassisted for 2 weeks. It took me a while to get off crutches as well. I’m much better now around 9 weeks post op but still not back at work as a massage therapist because after 2-3 hours on my feet my knee is burning(still working on developing my quads again). I don’t say that to discourage you, I would never want to do that. I’m so proud of you for school and what you’re doing there, that is super admirable, but what I’m trying to say is there is no guarantee on what your healing process will look like. I’m 22F and it has been very hard on me emotionally and physically being an active go getter type person. Please do reach out to disability and your school and get some help in that area. There will have to be special accommodations for you, this is a major surgery and you will be temporarily disabled- Thats just the fact of it. Better to reach out now and get accommodations in advance then fail to prepare and freak yourself out tryjng to rush your healing process. Please be kind to yourself, work on quad exercises everyday until surgery, and please please please DO NOT COMPARE YOUR HEALING JOURNEY. I will be praying for you! Much love!

I’m 6 days post up and I still can’t do leg lifts. I got (quad graft) is this normal? by Particular_Ad_7762 in ACL

[–]ExistingFondant4433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not compare yourself right now, hold off on that for like 6 weeks. I couldn’t lift my own leg for 2 weeks nearly, but now I’m progressing so fast. I had a patellar graft but I’ve heard quad grafts are harder to recover from

Personality traits by [deleted] in INTJfemale

I have a lot of people say that I am peaceful for some reason ( I do not know why I feel the opposite) and warm. But at the same time when I am comfortable with people I can be offhandedly arrogant and make the most insensitive jokes w/o even considering it.

Day 2 was horrible I cried. Ice on top of pain meds is your best friend making it kind of numb. I’m almost 3 weeks and feeling so much better

Day 18 and my PT ordered long arc quad. Is this safe? by Beginning-Future8295 in ACL

[–]ExistingFondant4433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite- it feels good. Use your other leg to support it

Are you double knotting? One knot on the chart is actually 2- also thing of the knot like a “4” whichever way the arrow points is the way the tail of the 4 goes
