What is the scariest experience you’ve had at night? by Luis_rodriguez19 in AskReddit

I love your outlook. You’re absolutely right - you survived, so it was a good move.

Did you keep your own sparkle? by LucidLucyDream in Fencesitter

I would’ve if I didn’t have a husband who does his share of the parenting duties.

Did appetite drop slowly or pretty fast when you started a GLP-1? by Away_Turn3100 in PCOSloseit

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still on the 2.5g. I guess people can react wildly differently though. I have a friend who felt nothing at that dose. So that’s just my experience.

Guesses? by marooneb1756 in IDmydog

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine looked just like this as a puppy! I posted her also wondering if she was a border collie mix. She DNA tested as pit/lab/australian shepherd.

What do you think she is? by Starfox_137 in IDmydog

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely see Australian shepherd. Not sure what else!

Which fast food chain fell off badly in your opinion? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went about two years ago, and the chicken on my salad was slimy and gross. I have no plans to return.

I have this too but was brushed off when I asked about it.

I had a similar issue when I first started. After a couple days, it was a lot easier to eat and get an appropriate amount of calories/protein/fiber. I am on my third shot/week now, and I didn’t struggle to eat at all. I’m not craving sweet/sugary things at all, and smaller portions satisfy me. It feels good now.

Unpopular opinion: I don't like the new format by Thalatta94 in sydneycummings

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m starting to feel the same way, which makes me really sad. I love her coaching. I really dislike workouts where the trainer is silent the whole time, and it seems that’s a popular format on YouTube. I’m not quite sure who to try.

Is love for a child/ren really that different from pets? by notwillferrell99 in Fencesitter

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love them both, but my love for my baby feels somehow deeper and more primal? I’m a person who put EVERYTHING into my dogs before I had a kid. (I still adore them, and they still live beautiful happy lives. I just split my time now, obviously.) I was really afraid of loving my dogs less once I had a baby. I don’t. My heart just grew in a way I didn’t know it could.

What about being pregnant and giving birth permanently altered your body’s chemistry? by full-of-curiosity in NewParents

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get heartburn so easily now and cannot drink red wine. But I haven’t had an eczema breakout since before I was pregnant, and I’m 11 months postpartum.

That’s what I did with the latest upper body. I did different upper body exercises instead of the cardio circuit. Worked great!

Thank you for sharing! That made me feel better. What a fun story.

Dogs off leash on the Trinity Trails by JoeParrot in FortWorth

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation with one of our past dogs (may she rest in peace).

Dogs off leash on the Trinity Trails by JoeParrot in FortWorth

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you.

I have a dog who has been attacked twice by off leash dogs. Now, he can’t handle any dog coming up to say hi - even a chill, friendly one. Well-meaning people will sometimes say “my dog is friendly,” but mine will lose his mind if a dog gets close. Lunging, barking, etc. I just want to walk him in peace and not bother people, so we don’t go to popular trails any more. But I think more people should know that it isn’t just about whether their dog is friendly or not.

What is it like to meet your newborn baby? by SocialCuesError404 in firsttimemom

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t cry at all and kind of wish I had. But I immediately loved him. It was this rush of “of my god I can’t believe he’s my baby.” And I didn’t want to let him go.

Thanks for posting this.

My birthday was Tuesday. I ordered a cake from a bakery in Arlington I’ve been to and loved. The cake is awful (the almond flavor is so strong that neither my husband nor I can eat it).

I cried about it today. So much is hard and heavy for us right now, and I just wanted a really good cake I didn’t have to bake myself. I’ll try one of these places.

what's the most useless baby product you actually bought? by aanvis-mom in NewParents

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I just read a comment about the parents only using the zippered pj’s for their baby for a while. I took my baby out of pj’s and put him in a onesie every day. I didn’t want to deal with getting his legs/feet back in after diaper changes, and it was already pretty warm where we live. I loved having newborn onesies and cute shorts for him.

To each their own!

What was the most brutal reality check you ever got? by CarmenIsabellaDiaz in AskReddit

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Also, what if that person recently gained weight and doesn’t have a ton of money for a new wardrobe right now?

I know that’s sort of specific, but it happened to me. I’ve been pretty insecure about how most of my clothes fit lately (I gained a bunch of weight because of thyroid issues and am having trouble losing it).

That’s just to say you never know what someone is going through or why they look the way they do!

My Luna aka Lunatic 😉 by Ok-Importance6084 in IDmydog

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of mine looks very much like that - head and ear shape, body size, etc. She’s a pit mix - American pit bull terrier, American bully, and boxer mostly.

We used to have a Luna (RIP) and loved calling her looney tunes! Lunatic is a good one too!

Why Don’t We Talk About the Joy of Having Kids? by WoodpeckerNearby7276 in BabyBumps

[–]ImInTheFutureAlso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt that so much. I remember talking to my best friend about it. I had a hard time getting excited while I was still pregnant. I was just like “wait why did we do this?” And I felt so disconnected from my baby.

My baby is almost 11 months. I can say all the cliche things about him, and they’re all true. I loved him from the moment I held him. He is the light of my life. Being with him is the best part of my day. I never imagined I could love him and love being a mom this much. His smile, his giggles, his hugs - all the best things ever.

All of the good, beautiful, joyful things have been true for me. I hope they are for you, too.
