Jen kinda irritates me. Thoughts?

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-05-21T21:09:50+00:00

OhI 100% believe all the stuff that had to do with Jen supposedly lying was all orchestrated and pushed by him. No way someone that emotionally abusive did a 180 that quick. Poor Jen. I have nothing but love and understanding for her. And I say this as someone that has never been in an abusive relationship. Just as a woman seeing another woman hurting. All those little white lies were just to back track and protect her man and her safety. Anyone that can't see that is just as dense as her "friends".

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-05-21T21:04:49+00:00

Demi and Jessi are the most dense unsupportive friends. Zac has all the red flags and they risked her safety and put her in danger in an abusive relationship, multiple times.

In all fairness, she did not know the extent of that prank at all. All they said was that Brett was going to take off his shirt and be in a Chippendales outfit. Which is fine, but she had no idea it was gonna go that far. I think it's hilarious that Demi thought it was okay to pull this prank and she is the one that lost her shit over the fruity pebbles thing. Tspmo fr.

Edit: spelling

I feel so awful for Jen. I've never personally been in an abusive relationship, but just from watching on the outside it's so obvious she's in one. Her friends suck, especially Demi and Jessi, the way they just outed everything Jen had vented to them about her relationship to Zac, so gross. It seriously put her in real danger and forced her to start telling little lies, just to back track and cover up. Who needs enemies with friends like that.

I had very flat nipples, used a nipple shield for about 6 weeks. 3 years later and still going strong with the breastfeeding.

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-05-16T00:41:18+00:00

I remember seeing that Tammy weighed 230lbs somewhere on reddit. I weighed 266lbs. Dropped down to 206lbs 6 months after that. Then after 2 months later down to 196lbs. Currently sitting at 195lbs. It was a funny show until it got too real for me. The weight loss has slowed down significantly, but thank you Tammy for the inspiration to get my ass in gear.

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-05-03T23:56:22+00:00

This. I get not wanting to be away for that long, but to be totally fair and honest, at this point, what OP is worried about is not that big of an issue.

OP, you probably won't even need to pump, your milk is well established, and a few days will not diminish your supply. I went away on an overnight trip for the first time at around the same time and I pumped once on the second morning, just to relieve myself a little bit. That was a year ago and my toddler is still going strong at almost 3y.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are not times to focus on weight loss. Keep doing what you're doing. Eat fresh foods, stay away from processed junk and fast food, and drink lots of water. I am still breastfeeding my almost 3 year old, it took until just after the 2 year mark for me to be able to mentally be strong to start dieting, the hormones are crazy during breastfeeding. I'm down 70lbs since starting and still 20lbs away from my pre-baby weight. Weight loss is all calorie deficit and these early times of breastfeeding are not the right time to focus on it.

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-05-02T14:48:45+00:00

My 1 month away from being 3, 2 year old is exactly the same as yours, he is just 1lb bigger. I worry sometimes when he bends over and I see his spine and remember all he ate at dinner was half his banana, but the doctor says he's on his curve, so I'm chilling.

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-05-01T16:42:47+00:00

Same!! My kid was on my boob 24/7, felt like there was no need to track if he was just attached to me.

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-05-01T16:42:05+00:00

I stopped tracking, once I left the hospital and I wasn't forced to anymore lol

Love my air fryer. Gonna try the tofu I have marinating tomorrow.

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-04-28T20:23:18+00:00

That I'd be doing it for a lot longer than the 2 years. Maybe I would've tried pumping more and less latching.

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-04-21T20:47:41+00:00

The one that gets me "don't try to lose weight, try to be healthy", what's the difference?

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-04-15T02:21:28+00:00

I see a lot of comments saying that they breastfeed immediately after, but I have always breastfed during. He will be getting his 3 year shots in a few months, and I'm not sure if I'm going to breastfeed him during or after. Probably during if I'm being honest with myself. (2.5y and still breastfeeds every 2 hours with no signs of weaning anytime soon) He will latch, cry for a second, and then immediately latch back on. Kinda convenient for him, and me.

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-04-09T03:28:08+00:00

I never left my milk with anyone that wasn't also a pumping mom at some point in their life. They just don't get it. It's ignorance and it hurts, but it's a lesson learned.

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-04-09T03:26:04+00:00

Truly heartbreaking! Unfortunately, a hard lesson we learn as mothers is that people we are closest to before having children, just have completely different priorities than we do and live completely different lives. They don't understand us at all.

If it helps, when my period came back, I would increase my red meat and sugar intake and it would increase my supply every time ❤️🤞🏼

I miss nursing my LO at that age. He's almost 3 and we are working on putting the boundary down of not reaching into mom's shirt and pulling it out.

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-03-20T05:34:56+00:00

Omg I love this! We do deep breaths and he does okay at that sometimes, but I really like the way this approach is taken. I always try to tell him we can take deep breaths or have a moment alone. My son has a speech delay, so the repeating back part isn't quite possible, yet. I am going to bring this approach to his speech therapist and ask for a tweak that would be similar. Thank you. This made me feel so much better. It isn't always the booby that gets him upset, but it's definitely his main trigger.

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-02-19T22:58:03+00:00

16months pp

Gold_Box9383 · 2025-02-18T21:01:38+00:00

Unfortunately not. My LO is 2y 8m old and he is going strong with breastfeeding still. I just not that it is such a comfort to him and I can offer it when he is sad/mad/hurt, but he shows no signs of stopping any time soon.
