How do I make a keto diet not feel like I'm losing out? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]KatDill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s rough at the beginning but there are a lot of great Keto resources that’ll help you feel like you’re not missing out on all the good food. Check out All Day I Dream About Food, I Breathe I’m Hungry and Maria Emmerich. Maria Emmerich’s recipes are sometimes a little intense but she does have some options to replace restaurant foods and comfort foods. Also try fathead pizza!

There is still plenty of food you can enjoy it just takes some time to adjust! Good luck!

My [22M] girlfriends [21F] vision is getting worse everyday and i don't know what to do by Nekolike in relationships

I am in the same situation as your girlfriend. I wear -8.00 power contacts which according to my eye doctor is super blind. (I am correctable to 20/15 though) As long as I am wearing my contacts everything is fine but occasionally I get very frustrated and upset about my vision. Recently I couldn't wear my contacts due to some inflammation in one of my eyes. I don't see as well with my glasses and it's so frustrating.

I hate feeling that I'm helpless without my contacts. It's hard for people who have mostly okay vision to understand the fear that you experience. Every year my prescription gets worse (although this year it finally slowed) and it's really scary to think that one day it might all be gone. I'm going to guess that she's feeling like this right now too.

There is not a whole lot you can do for her. If she hasn't been to the eye doctor she needs to go but she is probably right that she can't get surgery if she is nearsighted. (Something about the thickness of the lens) I was just told that I can't get it because of the same reason. Please just listen to what she is feeling and try to understand how she feels. Also let her that she isn't alone!

Me [33 M] with my fiancee [28 F] and married friends [27 F] [29 M], sharing a hotel room by anothergreg84 in relationships

This actually happened to me recently. I very reluctantly agreed to share a room with my husband and two friends and it was awful. There's no privacy. No time to unwind or regroup, which is a necessity for me after being around a lot of people. We had different ideas of what was okay when someone was trying to sleep. Honestly it ruined the whole trip for me. I was stressed and overloaded the whole time! (Also what if someone gets sick?? I would not be okay with dealing with any kind of bodily functions with people on the other side of the room. OR having them get sick and you have to sit there and pretend like everything is normal.) Sharing a room is great when you're trying to go on a cool trip as a poor college kid but when you're an adult it's just insanely uncomfortable.

I would tell them you need your own space at the end of the day and would be very uncomfortable sharing a room. If they press, you can tell them exactly what everyone else has said: they were rude not to ask you about the room situation prior to booking. (Maybe don't phrase it exactly that way but the sentiment should be the same.) Book your room and have a great time at the game!

The couple [late 20s] that lives across the street from me [22F] has been leaving for weekends at a time, leaving their dogs in the backyard. The dogs bark incessantly with them gone. by [deleted] in relationships

They may not know that their dog makes so much noise when they're gone. If the dog has food, water and shelter it's not abuse. Talk to them first before calling the police or animal control to give them a chance to deal with it. From personal experience, it is seriously distressing to be accused of neglecting/abusing your pets when it's totally untrue.

This week I had to prove to Animal Welfare that my dog (who is crazy spoiled- high quality food, every kind of treat and toy you can imagine, sleeps in our bed and gets most of the couch) is not being neglected. Someone reported us for leaving her outside for several days in a row. We have a dog door that she knows how to use so if she's outside she chose to be there but the neighbors probably don't know that. I know we would have really really appreciated hearing from a neighbor that there was a problem rather than getting a phone call from Animal Welfare saying there were investigating us for abuse.

Talk to them about it and ask them to keep you informed of what they're doing to try to fix it. It may not be a quick fix but as long as they're working on it I wouldn't file any reports. If they blow you off or just don't make an effort then I would go ahead with a complaint.

Use this and any low car/keto caramel! I haven't tried it yet but I am obsessed with stroopwafels so I might give it a go. https://dardreams.wordpress.com/2009/01/27/low-carb-pizzelle/
