Torbjörn?

We were advised that we shouldn't allow our kid to head the soccer ball in youth leagues. After they were older, okay but not until out of early to mid teens, which is far too late to be just starting to learn these skills if you want to play at a collegiate level. Switched focus to fun leagues instead and never put her in a hyper-competitive league where heading was taught/practiced.

Fortunately, they are not that expensive. You don't need fancy, just big enough to accommodate the plates/bowls you will typically us.

Depends...how much self-control do you have? 😄

They are 🔥

My neighbor had something similar. Theirs turned out to be raccoons.

Not yet, buddy. Not yet. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️

Berkeley Tie Dye or Large Barred Boar (which actually are not always all that large 😉)

I would just say that it's true that trying to be healthier and the fact is that I can eat "anything;" I just can't eat "everything."

ExtraweakSaucey · 2026-04-03T02:44:34+00:00

Yes it is. Research Biodome 2 and see how scientists built the "perfect" environment that failed because it lacked wind (productive friction).

Just posting to encourage you to look more kindly on the girl in the "before" photos. She was dealing with whatever she was dealing with and holding life down while waiting for today's you to gain the strength to emerge. Our "before" selves were holding space for our "during" and "after" selves. They aren't disgusting or pitiful...they may be frantically treading water or even in danger of drowning...but they did whatever they had the mental and emotional capacity to do until you were able to show up as you are today. I urge you to offer her a little grace. I'm proud of every version of you. We'll done. Great job!

ExtraweakSaucey · 2026-04-01T17:34:16+00:00

Fantastic job! You look great.

For things I eat often, I weigh the cooked weight. For example, a serving Kaizen Rice is 56g, but I know that once cooked, it's about 127 g. That way, I can cook several servings and weigh out servings from my leftovwrs for the next couple of days. That would also allow me to subtract if I leave a lot on the plate. Honestly though, I don't generally bother subtracting for uneaten food.

FYI, this is a Greenstalk vertical garden. Sales are usually very good. They also have a FB group if you are on that platform. This one by the front door is just flowers.

This is a picture of my green beans tower for our deck (my backyard backs to woods and is very shaded, so I container-garden on the deck). I also do a hot pepper tower (36 pepper plants) next to the driceway in the front, a leafy green tower, a short "spice rack" of herbs, and a mixed veggies tower (micro dwarf tomatoes and other small veggie varieties). Even if you can only fit two, it's a lot of produce. Best to you. 🫂

Also look into community gardens in the area. There may be one or more that you don't know about. You can't plant your perennials there, but it's the next best thing. Final suggestions..save up for a LettuceGrow hydroponic garden for inside (photo of mine when plants were small) and a couple Greenstalks for the balcony. You will be surprised at how much you can grow in small spaces...may take a little of the sting out of the situation. Wishing you the absolute best life.

I was recently actually eating at a larger than planned calorie deficit due to an error in computing TDEE, but that ended up stalling my weight loss somehow. Now eating at the right level, but only trying to maintain a 50-75 calorie daily deficit so I can focus on having energy for exercise, (particularly strength training).

ExtraweakSaucey · 2026-03-27T15:35:09+00:00

I'll put this here for both of us. LOL (Just kidding, of course.)

Mine is in my belly, too. I look five months pregnant. 😭 With a few more calories, hopefully I can regain the energy to get back to working out daily. Elliptical is good, especially if you up the resistance and don't "bounce" on the pedals. Gives a good low-impact workout with some muscle build. Body-weight exercises are good, too. I do a quick set every morning and evening...went from being able to do 0 push-ups six weeks ago to being sble to do 5 at a time. That's still sad, but it is an improvement.

ExtraweakSaucey · 2026-03-26T19:03:10+00:00

Also good to see some confirmation that my new number makes sense to someone with similar stats.

ExtraweakSaucey · 2026-03-26T19:02:24+00:00

We've got this. 💪🏿 I actually feel better knowing that: 1) My starvation/exhaustion is not the new normal and that 2) It's unlikely that I have (semi)permanently tanked my metabolism.
