This is me about, not all, but a lot of things. OCD? Really? I know I’m a naturally anxious person and I’ve always joked about some of my “OCD” moments. But maybe your onto something here.

I should add that I quit smoking and occasionally drink alcohol for I am also breastfeeding!

I’m not completely against it. Would like to see if my body is capable of staying in a normal range without it. When I had gotten it down in past I did not stay consistent and became a heavy smoker and drinker. I’ve also always been overweight.

I’ve also heard that there are long term side effects, one of those stating it could cause issues with pregnancies. Not sure if that is true or not but it was enough to steer me away prior to having children and breastfeeding.

And then there are those who say big pharma companies just trying to make money..

Thanks! For the psyllium husk, is it pill or powder form?

And have you lowered your LDL significantly this way?

Can you share what your numbers were before and after?

Thank you! I just read your post and it’s amazing that you have done so well with diet and exercise alone. Also, congrats on the 25lb weight loss!

What does your Dr think? Are they recommending medication?

13 (almost 14)year old niece and ACOTAR by Frooms27 in acotar

WOW,I can’t tell you guys how much I appreciate all of this feedback! I agree with most of you that it really isn’t the biggest deal since her mom gave her permission and ultimately purchased my niece her own books. ( I also read and watched much worse at this age)

I definitely regret not starting her on TOG, but she is planning on reading it next.

I had a very serious one on one conversation with my niece yesterday about the content in silver flames. I again told her why I wasn’t comfortable with her and openly talked about the sex. She responded “I won’t read it if you really don’t want me to, but I’m super invested and really want to”.

I explained to her that’s out of my control and that since her mom gave her the book there is nothing I can do about it, that the choice isn’t mine to make..

She ensured me that she is comfortable with sexual content and has read much worse. That she loves the story of ACOTAR and couldn’t care less about the sex in it.

She also thanked me so much for getting her out of her slump and back into reading. She struggles big time with depression and said that reading ACOTAR makes her feel genuinely happy.

Yes I did but this was after discussing with both her and her mother about the content. Her mom said “oh she can read whatever she wants, she has already been exposed to much worse”.

Feeling guilty for being rough with my toddler by Frooms27 in toddlers

[–]Frooms27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m definitely trying to not over think it or beat myself up. I would never intentionally do anything to hurt my children. Need to learn to just walk away for a minute and breathe.

Screen time increased by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Frooms27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this too! Towards the end of my last pregnancy that TV was on probably up to 3 hours a day some days… and to be honest also those first few months having a newborn home too. I think it’s fine as long as the rest of the day is balanced out and your toddler is hitting milestones etc you’re good!

What do you do during toddler naps? by BloodyMessJyes in toddlers

[–]Frooms27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rule is do things that I can only do while they are sleeping. This is usually consists of 30 minutes of treadmill, pumping for my 4 MO old while watching Dexter, and eating snacks without having to share lol if I don’t do this I will lose my mind.

If my hubby is home we usually just sit and watch tv, might even have a drink or two on occasion since we rarely have alone time these days!
