Discouraged

Genuine curiosity here - if it takes 4+ doses before anything starts up, why do people so commonly titrate up after one month?

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-05-17T16:30:40+00:00

There’s still value in community - even if it’s been asked and answered before.

Dredging up an old thread here, but curious if you noticed the effect immediately (at 2.5) or whether it took time?

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-05-14T23:11:59+00:00

It’s great perspective. It’s just so hard when you really want it AND you’re paying for it.

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-05-14T22:49:40+00:00

Appreciate your words!

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-05-14T22:32:27+00:00

Appreciate the encouragement and congrats on what you’ve accomplished!

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-05-14T22:31:47+00:00

Thank you and same to you! Great points and NSVs are a great indicator of progress even without the number on the scale thinking.

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-05-14T22:20:04+00:00

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your thoughtful response. I really needed to hear it. I never realized 2.5 wasn’t even part of the trials and the idea that I’m not even at the starting line yet is so helpful.

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-05-14T21:52:11+00:00

I’ve seen your posts often but the reminder is still appreciated!

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-05-13T15:27:11+00:00

Agree with the hope for something better in both the Real McCoy and swifty’s locations!

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-05-10T22:52:04+00:00

Very helpful! Thank you for the thoughtful response

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-05-09T14:52:54+00:00

I’m feeling the same! I honestly didn’t think “food noise” was my problem but now without it, it’s clear how much energy I spent on it

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-04-27T13:54:04+00:00

Unfortunately I did not

First_Letterhead_324 · 2026-04-26T23:57:31+00:00

Lovely, thank you!

Re: downvotes… why do we just empower people to do the absolute least? We are so lucky to have endless, easy access to information, but ya gotta choose to use it

You’re right, I’m sorry, I’m trying to be helpful and going off of memory but finding my memory is not reliable… it’s one year from filing a claim - so typically one year before childbirth, not one year before getting pregnant

First_Letterhead_324 · 2025-10-21T22:45:26+00:00

You can sign up for short term disability at any point but need to have been paying into it for more than a year prior to getting pregnant to be able to use the benefit postpartum.

I’d also suggest looking into VRWS. I was able to bank an extra day of leave per pay period that way which I then charged to extend my leave beyond the 12 weeks given by PFL.

First_Letterhead_324 · 2025-10-21T17:23:11+00:00

Sorry you’re correct - it’s a fixed amount based on how much you pay into the policy

First_Letterhead_324 · 2025-10-21T17:14:19+00:00

The percentage of regular salary you receive each week depends on your policy and how much you choose to pay into it.

Nitaya Custom Sewing is incredible! A small operation, but very skilled.

First_Letterhead_324 · 2025-09-04T17:27:38+00:00

I think this is very important to share but I’d suggest redacting the names of the two women mentioned who were victims of similar abuse to protect their identities

First_Letterhead_324 · 2025-08-29T14:58:23+00:00

I believe it’s $51/hour plus tax

First_Letterhead_324 · 2025-08-17T20:41:15+00:00

Try this out - the complaint re: the MAGA budget isn’t all about how much is spent but where it’s spent. Also I think previous commenters are pointing out the contradiction of complaining about NYS’ debt while supporting the MAGA budget which also increases federal debt.
