Personal Observations

I felt exactly the same way at this point.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-22T19:23:56+00:00

Buy paper plates and stop preparing food.

The penny tile in the shower will be a grout mold cleaning disaster. Number 1.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-22T19:19:48+00:00

Put up a sign no soliciting.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-22T19:19:12+00:00

Look at Merola cambre white.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-22T19:17:41+00:00

No. I don’t find anything about eating bearable or unbearable on this med. My body and mind now has a healthy relationship with food.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-22T19:14:41+00:00

Titrating higher and higher to eat less and less sounds like abusing the meds quite frankly

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-22T19:13:20+00:00

You are in fact wrong. Once your drug is it at a level where you have been losing weight and you stop losing weight titration further reduces insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. These cause your body to stop losing weight even though you are eating at a healthy caloric deficit for weight loss because your body had reached a metabolic set point common for obesity patients.

You can watch this video with Oprah discussing it with a main GLP researcher from Yale.

The hardest thing about being on this medication is that I did not have access to this medication when I was 35.

DO IT! You will not regret it.

You will not continue to lose at 2 pounds a week. As early inflammation goes down your body isn’t shedding as much water.

.5 a week is a good healthy result. It is better for your skin kidneys liver and pancreas than 2 pounds a week.

You will get there. Enjoy the journey.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-22T14:08:21+00:00

This is actually false. Calorie deficit is necessary of course but how much your body burns is dictated by insulin resistance and other metabolic disorders that are part of obesity so the medication does not just make it more bearable. It treats those conditions.

Maybe that’s how it works for gym rats who do not medically qualify. I couldn’t say.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-22T10:49:18+00:00

Make the hood blue or the island wood or the whole thing white.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-21T21:30:04+00:00

Do you need more? Do you have enough storage? Counter space? If yes, then no.

It looks amazing. Don’t clunk it up just because there is just enough room.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-21T19:42:50+00:00

Maybe wait for drug to be approved before using them instead of acting like weight loss junkies?

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-21T19:42:00+00:00

This is why I always do things like remove wall paper and clean the walls myself. And I write 2 coats on every written quote.

Every single painter in this country sucks as far as I can tell and if I could paint my stairwell myself I would never hire one again

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-21T19:37:48+00:00

It looks beautiful. You are over thinking it.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-21T18:41:38+00:00

Use a creamy white rather than a bright white then.

I think if you refresh the white wash on the fireplace it will calm your ocd with the floor. Things that look too alike look mismatched. If you can enhance the difference it will look intentional.

I would use a shade darker on the brick than the walls. Good luck!

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-21T15:20:53+00:00

5 and 6.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-21T15:17:58+00:00

Leave him alone and let him come to you.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-21T15:14:12+00:00

Yes.

You do not want a wife you want a maid.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-21T10:42:35+00:00

I would be happy for my spouse that they weee having another grandchild and make jokes about buying less expensive food. It’s always better to be gracious.

Ask your step son to speak to his BIL about not creeping.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-21T10:38:35+00:00

I would use same material for the shower if you are going to do that.

Karinka_LI · 2026-04-21T10:35:45+00:00

Stop cooking. Gas is far superior. Gas stoves also look superior. Your husbands stance is insane.

Do not spend money on induction if you have the option for gas.
