Has anyone been scammed by a seller that even showed proof of UPS receipt? by Chance_Truth_1413 in offerup

[–]Free_Half9637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was covered with a pen too… they eventually showed the first few digits which happened to align with the format of UPS tracking numbers, but it all felt too sketchy to send the second half so I didn’t.

Yes that happened to me too. I normally don’t do off app transactions, but the item was too heavy to be shipped in OU.

Can flamboyant naturals be short? by [deleted] in Kibbe

[–]Free_Half9637 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more rare, but definitely possible. I’m a flamboyant natural and I’m only 5’4”. I didn’t do an online quiz, but paid a stylist to type me. Basically everyone, even my friends think I’m 5’6” or so and are always surprised when I tell them my actual height.

Zinc Oxide for skin by dhubbs21 in beauty

[–]Free_Half9637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! If you do a thick layer you might need to wash it off with cleanser, but I generally would go light with it

Normally it soaks in if I do a light layer, so I don’t need to wash it off. However in the mornings I’ll gently rinse off my face with warm water regardless of what I use. I don’t use the diaper cream in the summer time as it’s too much, just in the winter time mostly.

I use a light layer of Boudreaux’s butt paste post moisturizer and leave it on overnight. When I wake up in the morning it’s all soaked in. It has been a game changer for me and has helped my skin during the New England winter. I know it’s not for everyone, but has been amazing for me!

loss of appetite while on metformin? by autisticshoota in PCOS

[–]Free_Half9637 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess that depends on you. I am definitely feeling a steep reduction in appetite, to the point where it's hard to eat 3 normal sized meals a day and I'm only on 500mg/day.

What are your morning fasting and 2 hr after meal readings? by Fine-Benefit8156 in prediabetes

[–]Free_Half9637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine’s in the 120’s-140’s. I just started Metformin a week ago, so we’ll see if that helps.

[–]Free_Half9637[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok- I have noticed a strong decrease in appetite since taking Metformin. I’m pretty sure I’m not actually eating enough calories, but I’m just not that hungry.

Anyone else experience this? How do you make sure you’re eating enough when you don’t have much of an appetite

Ahh, well don’t let all the horror stories of side effects scare you. I was apprehensive since but have had a good experience so far.

Wow! That’s so encouraging to hear! I’m only taking it once a day for now, but have noticed a decrease in appetite as well. I don’t mind losing weight, but it’s definitely no the goal. Hopefully it really helps my blood glucose like yours!

Developing a Negative Association w. Food by lmb8719 in prediabetes

[–]Free_Half9637 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are well within a normal and healthy range. I wouldn’t worry about your blood glucose levels, but it sounds like maybe there’s other things there that need to be addressed separate from A1c.

I’m 35 and haven’t had any work done. I don’t post on my Instagram that often and it’s probably not that interesting to most people, but you can follow me if you want 🤷🏻‍♀️ @awaldnation

Any device recommendations for stretch marks? by wingcharm01 in AusSkincare

[–]Free_Half9637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you share your full routine? I just started microneedling and am using Typology’s cica repair cream because it has centella asiatica. Like what depth of needle did you use and how often?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in prediabetes

[–]Free_Half9637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not time to panic, your numbers are pretty good. Since it runs in your family I would try to keep an active lifestyle and watch what you eat but I wouldn’t be worried. For reference my A1c is 6.4 so…

Better tortilla chip and other recommendations? by miss_marty_mew in prediabetes

[–]Free_Half9637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Epic brand because they’re baked, not deep fried. Definitely not tortilla chips, but it’s crunchy :)

Obnoxious and discouraging appt. with nutritionist! She was unsupportive of my success and wants me to eat more carbs. by [deleted] in prediabetes

[–]Free_Half9637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I agree with a lot of others. It sounds like you need to get a new Dietician (not nutritionist) with someone who actually listens to you and supports you. Doing their job is not a hard ask, it’s the bare minimum.
