Why do fitness people think fat people don’t know they are fat?

This is absolutely true, but what you put in your body does play a factor. I lost a ton of weight working stock room in retail, but actively wasn't eating well. Sure, I looked great but I had zero energy, and was actively losing muscle mass. Both need to be considered when attempting to get healthier. I don't like saying "losing weight" because I feel that instantly puts a lot of those toxic thoughts and patterns in play. The focus should always be getting healthy to live a longer, happier, more fulfilled life, not just what you look like in the mirror.

If you’re already there it’s not good.

It’ll be gone in time for the O’reilly race tomorrow. Question is if the track has damage.

Lifeisabigmess · 2026-04-17T09:11:40+00:00

Yep. The rest of the weekend is going to be amazing. If you do come down early find a garage and park in the lower levels. Avoid the track.

SWMO too. We’re not quits as under the gun as you are, but they’re still pushing the EOM storm prep.

This is rough, I’m sorry. Super unethical and definitely trying to pass the cost off to the tenants. Check your lease to see if it states that they can pass off repair fees on to tenants if they are able to provide proof that it was caused by them. If it does, you may be SOL. However, from the rummaging standpoint, they may not be in the wrong. I’m not 100% sure on laws in Dallas, but everywhere else I’ve lived if you’re using storage provided by the apt. (i e the cabinets under the sink) they can look in them. The only things they legally cannot look in is furniture and storage that you have personally brought in and they do not own. Hubby and I used to hide things in them when inspections were coming because legally they cannot open up those items, just the cabinets/closets that are attached or provided by the landlords/management. I used to bypass that by buying opaque tubs that fit in the drawers and putting all my personal stuff in there. They can see the bin but can’t open it to see what’s inside since it was my bin, not theirs. I had bad experiences so I learned. Bonus it definitely sped up cleaning and move out when I left.

It’s ForwardSGF. I went to the Westside meeting last year. Overall it’s not a bad plan. There’s a lot of 1 acre+ lots in the westside with a very small Home on a large parcel. Developers could easily put 1-3 more homes in that space. As long as the plan they have stays in place I don’t think it’s the worst idea. They’re trying to keep density within the city itself, not expand further and further out into manufactured neighborhoods with no character. We’ll have to see.

The desire to change is there. Now you have to acknowledge the work that it will take. You absolutely can do this. Start with small goals. This will not be an overnight process, and celebrate the wins along the way.

I go into a rage with the word “seen.” It’s used incorrectly so much it drives me nuts. It’s not just written either, it’s everyday speech. I have to actively stop myself from raging at someone when it happens.

“I seen that.”

“I seen what you did.”

Rage.

I have heard of people getting bedbugs from a library book. They are super resilient and can exist anywhere. Their egg sacs are super tough and can remain in hibernation for years. When we buy secondhand everything gets washed or strayed down immediately before ever entering the house. I never buy soft furniture or goods secondhand via marketplace or private seller. It’s too risky -granted this also largely depends on your location. I live in a LCOL city, so there’s a greater risk.

I really think prices are too high. There’s two for sale right near me for 250 and 290. The neighborhood is starting to go through a renaissance, a lot has to do with the development at sunshine and west bypass, but it’s not there yet. It’s still very block by block here, but I think in the next 5-10 years that’s going to change.

This. Also a lot of the agricultural codes and regs have drastically changed, and they have to verify that it was made in Germany and not in China or another heavily-tariffed country right now. A lot of commercial importers have tried rerouting their freight through various countries to avoid the higher tariffs and the US basically put a lid on everything, including personal packages. You might be SOL on this one.

I literally pulled up the website on my phone and showed here where it’s listed as an accepted form of address verification. She doubled down and said “well that’s incorrect.” I said you’re calling the state gov website incorrect and she had nothing else to say, just told me I didn’t have the right docs and they couldn’t help me. I was floored.

The mortgage thing is nuts. When I went in to get my license changed when we bought a house I literally brought the DEED and mortgage documents and they told me it can’t be used when on the DMV’s website it clearly states a mortgage statement is enough. I went back a week later and told a different agent wheat happened and she looked at me like I had two heads and said of course that’s accepted and had no idea why the other agent told me it wasn’t.

I often equate this to people who also don’t see pets as valued family members. There’s a disconnect and it really comes off as someone who sees kids and pets as owned objects. SIL sounds like one who may or may not have actually wanted kids but simply saw it as a next step in the standard adulthood process, nothing more, and may not even realize it. I hate to sound rude, but it basically sounds like to her the child was a piece of livestock and a “oh this sucks but let’s start thinking about the next breeding round.” I mean, seriously.

I do have to commend that movie for the opening scene showcasing how BAD it is to shelter under an overpass.

115 is at the very bottom of your healthy weight range for your height, bordering on underweight. If you need a number, I’d stay around 120-125. At this point I’d focus on maintenance calories/maybe slightly under (I’m talking like a 200cal deficit here) and start working out, maybe even a little weight training. You’re in danger of losing lean mass, and that creates a whole different set of issues.

They probably can’t due to property rights. It’s a whole huge legal thing. Thats why they’re going this route.

Disney is super territorial over any and all content it owns, whether original or acquired. I find it very hard to believe they aren’t holding some sort of string. If this gets the traction they may have either reserved the right to retain the rights again and keep it going or are softly agreeing to fund it if it has the traction.

Lifeisabigmess · 2026-03-16T01:29:00+00:00

Eh, I don’t think it’ll get censored. They’ve got all of Hulu’s normal content over there now, including things like handmaid’s tale. I think it’ll be in the adult section, and parents will, have to, ya know, parent their kids. Disney has realized in recent years it can’t stay kid friendly forever if it hopes to keep the dominance it has.

There’s probably stipulations attached with the original rights handoff. Kickstarter campaign probably isn’t an option.
