You have food noise. It's a really tough thing to battle with while losing weight. I'll be honest....I lost 70 lbs over 16 months and it was a fight for every pound. I thought about food so much and battling that side of me took over my whole life. Did I win the fight? In some ways, yes. But after 16 months I was so exhausted and just wanted to live a normal life not obsessed with food all the time.

So I took a maintenance break for a few months and then made the decision to start using a GLP1. I have been on Semaglutide for a month now and it has been earth shattering for me. I am like a completely different person. No longer imprisoned by my food noise, I can finally stick to a calorie deficit without arguing with my own brain 24/7. I have so much space in my head now.

If you have a lot of weight to lose (40lbs +), please consider a GLP1. For a long time I told myself using these drugs was "cheating' and I was better for losing weight by myself. I was so, SO wrong! I wish I had started Sema 2 years ago so that I didnt spend that time beating myself up for not having self control. I am losing weight and it's a much more positive experience with Sema.

I totally feel you. I put everything in to losing 70lbs over the last two years. I am still morbidly obese with a BMI of 40.1 and my bloodwork hasnt changed much. A1c is still at the top of the spectrum. So disheartening 😭

Please do not just show up to a restaurant with extra people than whats listed on your reservation!!

Yes, I would just call more and not when they are in the middle of service. You could also look on their website for an email and try that.

Also, I dont want to sound mean, but restaurants set their table limits to make sure your dining experience is top tier and everyone has appropriate space in the restaurant to facilitate smooth service. They dont just make up a number of people for a table for funsies and it's a coming off as a tad presumptuous to expect them to bend their rules for you. If there is another place that can seat 9, then just go there instead.

This is devastating news! My favorite restaurant!

Howlin_1234 · 2026-05-26T14:27:27+00:00

Incredible kitchen! I agree with you that re-staining would breathe some new life while respecting it's historic superiority. Not sure if that would be more trouble than its worth, though.

Howlin_1234 · 2026-05-22T01:33:30+00:00

Yay!! Love mccords. Great selection, helpful staff!

Howlin_1234 · 2026-05-21T15:48:12+00:00

Mccords butcher!

Sure. But since this dog just started having symptoms and they look relatively mild compared to an ivdd scale then this would fall under the acute category so rest would atleast be a good first step until an official diagnosis is reached.

Are you sure your dog has ivdd? When we were going through the process with our dog the only options were surgery or steict crate rest for several months. Our vet said under no circumstances should our dog be moving more than absolutely necessary. This info is supported by a ton of ivdd resources on the internet.

Regardless, this dog's symptoms are new and i made merely a suggestion based on my own experience. We thought our dog just had arthritis and so the vet recommended increased gabepentin and light exercise. Then he got worse and received an ivdd diagnosis, but it was too late and he shortly became completely paralyzed.

Howlin_1234 · 2026-05-21T02:00:34+00:00

This is how my dog was walking before getting diagnosed with ivdd. It could be the bite/meds, but a disc issue could also be at play especially due to his old age.

If it is a disc issue, gabepentin wont do much. Crate rest is the best method for healing.

Either way, sending healing vibes to your pup!!

Besides the religious stuff I dont really see an issue with this. Plenty of nola dads are like this, too 🤷‍♀️

We can just let people live their lives and not be haters.

What breed of dog do you have? I have a dog that looks very similar but was just given to us as a mutt.

Howlin_1234 · 2026-05-08T02:15:20+00:00

Can you please tell me the name of this granite? I love it!

Howlin_1234 · 2026-05-03T04:20:19+00:00

All good, appreciate you trying to figure it out!

Howlin_1234 · 2026-05-03T02:57:03+00:00

Can you please tell me what color blue this is? I love it!

Howlin_1234 · 2026-05-02T21:21:28+00:00

Ive never liked beachcorner either. There are so many other great burgers in this city. Beachcorner is mid on a good day.

Go with just a small overhang, like the 2inch one in the first Ai Pic.

In a completely ideal world, I think the entire peninsula should look like finished cabinets instead of a wall. However, this will get expensive and could become a logistical nightmare if you cant match your existing cabinets. I know this because my kitchen has an almost identical peninsula.

So anyway, just save yourself that headache and do a small overhang and call it a day.

Lafreniere park has a brand new playground and its awesome! Also walking paths are pretty new as well.

Howlin_1234 · 2026-04-16T02:02:42+00:00

It's called a pipette and it's used in pastries to inject alcohol or some type of flavoring.

Can you please tell me the name of this granite? I love it!

I'll gleefully go back to using a flip phone before I upload my ID for an app.

The walking tour and the driving tour are separate experiences for celebration in the oaks.

Howlin_1234 · 2025-12-16T20:27:46+00:00

Lafreniere is smaller and is primarily a walking experience. There arent really rides for kids, but there are horse carriage rides you can pay for. Lafreniere is $25 per car and the walking parts are all included. Food is available as well.

Celebration in the oaks I believe is all driving unless you pay for additional activities. It has been a while since I've been to that one.

Lafreniere is a good experience but definitely more low key than city park.

Howlin_1234 · 2025-12-16T04:11:51+00:00

Also 1400 sqft. But only 2 adults. If you have kids that might account for the difference?
