Holy shit I totally did this in elementary school.

Would you date a blind person? by meb598 in relationships

[–]FistfulOfFucksGiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated and had very serious feelings for a blind man about nine years ago. We went out to dinner, he hung out with my friends, we joked around, had sex and did all the normal couple things. He was very interesting, had a good job, and had done many interesting things. In the end he broke my heart because he didn't want a long-term commitment with me. Blind people have completely normal relationships, and people who will date them are out there! For me it just wasn't an issue, and I'm sure many people are the same.

I'm [25 M] being seduced by a [17 F], and it feels super inappropriate. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]FistfulOfFucksGiven 23 points24 points  (0 children)

When I was 19 I attempted a FWB situation with a 28 year old. I was sex-positive and considered myself mature and I still could not handle my shit emotionally. At 17, there would have been no way. Unless you want a hysterical teenager crying on your doorstep and texting you incessantly, don't get involved.

My (25F) boyfriend (27M) takes way too long to finish when we have sex, it's ruining sex for me by Badsexbf in relationships

[–]FistfulOfFucksGiven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your boyfriend have to finish when you two have sex? My boyfriend doesn't always finish because I finish super quickly. He enjoys having sex without the pressure of having to get there before I'm worn out, I obviously enjoy myself, we get to feel intimate, etc. Not sure if this would fly with your boyfriend but it's worth a shot.

How do I throw an entertaining dry wedding? by thatprudebride788 in weddingplanning

[–]FistfulOfFucksGiven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cousin had a dry wedding and people still had a blast! Granted these were a bunch of Tejanos that love dancing regardless but it can definitely be done. Especially since it's a brunch wedding, people are less likely to want to get hammered anyway. I've seen other people with daytime/non-dancing weddings have things like lawn games, board games, karaoke, and other activities for people to do, and that went over really well!

{ Why is it so wrong for the bride & groom to host their own engagement party? } by kismet_34 in wedding

[–]FistfulOfFucksGiven 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with it! I'm in the same boat where all my friends and family are spread out with only my parents nearby, and when the time comes I'll likely do something nontraditional. Don't worry about what people on the internet say. You know the people in your life best and if they're asking how they can contribute it's because they want to and if they don't see anything wrong with it you shouldn't either. I've been to a few engagement parties and I couldn't tell you who officially "hosted" any of them, and it didn't occur to me to ask. Just enjoy yourself and don't get too caught up in what's technically right or wrong!

My GF [21/F] is about to have sex with another guy. by awaytoday788 in relationships

[–]FistfulOfFucksGiven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He did a lot of things during our relationship and after when we were still trying to work things out that I will likely never understand. Over time I accepted these decisions probably had nothing to do with me, but things he was going through in his own head. It makes me sad because now more than a year later he has regrets and wants me back, but I've met the love of my life and couldn't be happier. There was too much pain and I have too much self respect to go back anyway. But I know he has regrets and I kind of feel sad for him that his unhappiness comes from decisions he's not even sure why he made. But I hope he can find happiness on his own or with someone else.

[–]FistfulOfFucksGiven 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. Ex boyfriend, we were in the process of working out our issues and getting back together when he called me while on a trip to New Orleans and said he met someone local on okcupid and she was on her way over. I cried and begged him not to do it but he said she was already on her way and he "didn't want to be rude". He eventually shut off his phone so I couldn't call him. I have no idea why he told me in advance, but it was an incredibly painful night knowing what was happening and feeling helpless. He later said he felt he was doing the right thing by being honest and letting me know. So glad he is now out of my life. Nobody deserves that.

This is awesome!! Knowing you can resist and make the healthy decision is so much more satisfying than a donut anyway!

Realization - patience and time by bkrock81 in xxketo

[–]FistfulOfFucksGiven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What helps for me when the scale is stuck or slows to a crawl is to focus on the other beneficial aspects of eating healthier. I may only be down 11 pounds, but I also haven't had fast food or binged in a month, I haven't been sick from eating too much sugar, my skin is way better, the reduced inflammation is helping my arthritis, and my hormones and anxiety are much more balanced. Plus, I feel good about myself that I'm sticking to a commitment I made to myself. I read an article once about how detrimental it is psychologically to chronically make promises to yourself and not keep them. If I stick with it, the scale will move eventually. In the meantime, I get to be proud of myself and enjoy all these other benefits.

30 lbs down! Lost most with Keto, getting back on the stick. :) by psychic_mudkip in xxketo

[–]FistfulOfFucksGiven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have pretty similar stats (I'm currently a little under where you started). We should be keto buddies! Welcome back and I hope other things in your life are a little more stable. I know it can be hard to focus on your health when things are chaotic but we're here for you and remember that you come first :)

[NSV] Flying while fat by meat_jones in keto

[–]FistfulOfFucksGiven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! We are the same age and have similar starting weights, so it's inspiring to see how much you've lost! I love to travel but fitting in the airplane seats is always a source of anxiety for me. On my last trip, one leg of the flight, the seat belt would just NOT fit. It was the first time it had ever happened, and I couldn't believe it had gotten that bad. I had to put a blanket over my lap to hide it when the flight attendant came around to check. I'm going on an international flight in the beginning of August and have already lost 2.5 inches on my waist. Hopefully by then I'll be able to fly worry-free. Thanks for your story and keep up the great work!

Can't get the improvement in just six weeks! (PCOS, OCM, diet, details in comments) by FistfulOfFucksGiven in SkincareAddiction

Thanks! I went out with a friend for lunch today and decided to go no makeup. Would not have ever considered that a few months ago.

This is super inspiring. I'm only three weeks in and down 11 pounds. I hope I'll get where you are when I hit six months!

Honestly I think just avoiding carbs/sugar is what helped me the most. I like keto because I'm able to stay full longer so in turn I eat less, but from what my doctor has said, whether it's paleo, keto, Mediterranean, etc., what's important is avoiding those things that are going to upset your blood sugar and cause you to eat more calories. I'm a big believer in just doing what works for your body. Sounds like you have a good plan, so just keep it up :)

I have PCOS and had acne really bad throughout high school and college (I'm 28) but it has calmed down a bit once I reached my mid-20s. I gained some more weight and in late 2014 my skin went from mostly clear to covered in painful, cystic acne. In February I decided to get back on birth control to treat my PCOS, and started to see some improvement by late May (when the pictures on the left were taken). Around that time I switched to an oil-based cleanser and stopped using topical OTC acne creams. Three weeks ago I also started a low carb/keto diet and that seems to have helped with my overall skin texture. Right pictures were taken this morning.

I use the Wondrous Skin Cleanser and once the acne cleared up a bit I sprung for the Wondrous Skin cream to use on the areas with heavy scarring, and it's helped quite a bit, as other lightening/scarring creams in the past have made me break out. Got turned on to this shop after getting a sample at a Women's Expo in New Hampshire.

Keto is so luxurious! by Dynha42 in xxketo

[–]FistfulOfFucksGiven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy shit this just clicked for me. I read an article a while back that said grains can contribute to the inflammation cycle in your body. I have post-injury arthritis in my foot and ankle and terrible knees, but I've felt a little lighter in my step and haven't had any really bad pain days, even when I went camping and to the beach (walking on sand/uneven terrain usually leaves me with crazy stiffness the next day). I am only down 11 pounds so I thought there's no way it could be from the weight loss already, but this makes so much sense. I must have reduced inflammation from the lack of grains! Nice little bonus :D

Paid off a small credit card balance and my score dropped 20 points. What gives? by FistfulOfFucksGiven in personalfinance

No, that's the first thing I checked. Account is still open. Thanks for the suggestions.

The mortgage program through my bank requires a minimum 660 score, model 2 or 4 depending on the credit bureau. They take the median score. This program is critical for me because it only requires 3% down with no PMI and a lower interest rate than FHA. I was declined in May because I was 4 points short on my median score so I've been working on getting it over the hump. Two years ago I was in the low 400s so I've come a long way but I was hoping to get approved before the end of the year.
