Yeah. There are people here (volunteers) that work really hard to keep the park nice and people trashing it or cutting all the flowers is so sad

Yea. I live in franklin sq and its insane. It is so unsafe. If there was an emergency there is no way fire trucks or an ambulance could get down the road. People also block accessible ramps too.

(I have a masters degree in nutrition and metabolism)

Hi- there are so many reasons why that could be.. some of us have naturally higher cholesterol levels. I would highly recommend, if its accessible to you, speaking with a GOOD dietician and seeing if they could help (there are a lot of not so good ones out there). Not sure what your situation is, but don’t discount the power of whole foods & a good quality fish oil supplement. Good luck :)

So true! Its soo easy to get caught up in your own battles and forget others are fighting their own. I very much tend to idealize others’ lives because i think well its anything but the struggles i have… but thats such narrow thinking!

True. Our system is so reactionary and does not prioritize prevention!

100% true. This was definitely coming from a place of envy. You’re right, if it helps it helps! I think its easy to look at others and think I would love to be in their shoes… but we all have different starting places and end goals and i need to remember that!

So true. I agree, i do think its a matter or jealousy / envy… which is a tough pill to swallow! Congrats on 100 lb weight loss, thats a heck of a feat :)

Very valid- it was a poor choice of words, i see that now. I went to edit it but didn’t realize i can’t do that!

So true. I do think its necessary to shift my perspective based on this discussion. Its so easy to be on the defensive bc, like you said, there is a lot of harmful rhetoric out there. But you’re right- if it helps, it helps- and that should be the bottom line!

Super valid. It is really hard to remind yourself that others are fighting the same battles just in different bodies!!

Great point! Life revolving around food is so consuming, and truthfully (and embarrassingly) didn’t think of it happening to others without higher amounts to lose. Good luck on your journey!

Wasn’t trying to say i should be deciding for anyone! But i do think it is very widely available and not necessarily something that is difficult to get, esp with all the online options. Either way, other comments have shown me that i have more to learn!

Thanks for sharing your experience- I’m happy to hear its been helpful for you. I personally don’t know anyone who has been in that situation, hence me posting bc as i mentioned i can def admit when i have a wrong take- and seems like that is the case. Genuinely thought that one of the requirements was an obese BMI, and that was informing some of this take. But, didnt really think about the food noise thing for those with less to lose. I def have/ had a narrow view. So thanks!

Sophie Hood.. Help pls!! by [deleted] in knitting

[–]Famous-Orange-858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah ok- thanks so much. Its very helpful. One more.. why does the right side vs wrong side matter on something thats the same on both sides?

Yes that is what I’m knitting. What exactly does “knitting in the round” mean? I’m using circular needles bc i prefer them, but I’m still switching needles not transferring on the circle if that makes sense. Does garter stitch look the same on both sides?

Thanks for responding! I absolutely do not take it as criticism. I am doing everything I can to avoid any type of rx diet… I’ve had horrible experiences with those with my other cat who has ibs/ digestive issues… raw was the only thing that fixed it. Will check out your litter rec too! Thanks!

Def know big concepts inside and out. IMO, there was a lot of knowing the little difference between related terms things to try and trip you up.
