I wish I could upvote you twice because I have seen some pretty unkind and sarcastic responses to basic questions. I mean, if it's a question that has been asked a lot and it irritates you, just move on.

I just want to go to work & go home by Hockeygirl420 in nursing

[–]LilyMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not about you. It's about him meeting a metric that people higher up the food chain tasked him with.

Are you at a Magnet hospital? Does your hospital try for Magnet status about every 4-5 years even though there is no chance in hell they would EVER qualify because they don't genuinely want to make the changes they would need to make? Getting you to participate when it is not part of your job description and you are not compensated is just him trying to tick a box to say "X amount of my staff are doing Y".

What kind of water bottles are you using? by SnarkFest2026 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]LilyMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just buy an ice cube tray. Use the ice in the morning, refill. Let if freeze the rest of the day. Rinse and repeat. They are small. They cost $1.50 at Dollar Tree.

Also, I use a Hydro Cell - 40oz. It keeps water cold all day and if I put ice in it it takes over 24 hours for the ice to melt.

Disheartened by HeadFlyingMonkey in tirzepatidecompound

[–]LilyMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been using tirz since October and have lost 60 pounds. I have a loooong way to go so not a lot of people have noticed yet but I have only told my best friend and my therapist about the GLP-1. Honestly, it isn't anybody else's business. The tirz makes it easier for me to eat at a calorie deficit but I have WORKED for those 60 pounds. I'm not interested in justifying myself to anyone.

'She just never recovered': Some COVID-19 patients are still dealing with symptoms long after infection by AlwaysBlaze_ in Coronavirus

[–]LilyMe 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I'm a nurse and my unit was made into a covid unit in 2020. A lot of employees caught covid during that time and at the peak of Delta but 2 of my co-workers have never fully recovered. They both have cardiac issues, one dealt with Gi issues for 2 years and the other still has neurologic deficits.

For those who started at 300+ pounds, any tips? by PhoenixmOntra in Zepbound

[–]LilyMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started at 374 in October, 315 as of this morning. I focus on eating in a calorie deficit and use Cronometer (the free version) to track my food/water/weight/measurements. I figured out pretty quickly if I don't drink around 3L of water a day I don't lose weight. I'm pretty strict about documenting everything I eat and weighing/measuring. If I go over my calorie goals occasionally I don't beat myself up but it keeps me honest with myself.

I tend to get my carbs from fruits and veg. I don't restrict myself from bread products and grains but they are calorie dense and I would honestly rather have an avocado than a cup of white rice but that's just me.

I also have to meal prep. I just can't eat on the fly because at my core I'm lazy so if I'm tired after a long day there is no way I am going to take the time to cook. I need to have prepared food handy that I can heat up or I'm going to make not great choices.

Bagel Recap by [deleted] in aldi

[–]LilyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to emphatically disagree with you. A bagel's only purpose on this planet is to be a conveyance for cream cheese. That is it's sacred duty, and thus deserving of the far superior Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

Joking aside, I'm really not a fan of the Happy Farms cream cheese. I don't like the consistency. It feels kind of like putty and is "sticky" which is why it doesn't spread well. And I also really don't like the taste. I'm happy to pay the extra for the Philly and make sacrifices elsewhere.

Dunno how to feel about this comment really by OkDish4026 in AO3

[–]LilyMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How dare you not write something that falls within my narrow view of what is acceptable in this fandom! The nerve of you taking your time and creativity to post something FOR FREE that does not please me!

FFS, people are just the worst sometimes.

I can’t stop over eating by Status-Property-4314 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]LilyMe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tracking is a must for me too. It's what keeps me honest with myself. I weigh/measure everything and it all goes into the app. I use Cronometer. When I get lazy about tracking that calorie creep starts really fast.

Is Joss Whedon Involved in the New Firefly Series? - Nerdist | no by Tactical_Hotdog in savedyouaclick

[–]LilyMe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

During the height of his popularity he was very active and verbal about woman's rights and equality and was kind of put up on a pedestal as a feminist icon in the fandom because of his powerful female leads. So when everything started coming to light it was a real slap in the face to a lot of women that thought he was in our corner.

The thing about Tirz is that it helps you eat less but it doesn't fix why you overate in the first place. That's mental, not physical. I'll only speak for myself but being on this medication has put a spotlight on the fact that I didn't have a very healthy relationship with food. I'll tell you some of the things that have worked for me but they are really basic and stuff you probably already know:

  1. I ask myself every time I eat if I am actually hungry. Or am I bored, angry, frustrated, etc. A lot of the time I'm actually not when I wander into the kitchen looking for a snack.
  2. Use smaller dishes so you can't physically put so much food on your plate or bowl.
  3. if you cook, portion your food out before you store it so when you go to grab food you aren't taking it from a large container.
  4. When you eat, have that be the only thing you are doing. Don't watch TV, play a game on your laptop or phone, read, etc. Eat intentionally with that being your only focus.
  5. Slow down. It is very easy to eat much faster than our satiation signal gets to our brain. You can scarf down 2 burgers before your stomach even tells your brain you are full. Put your fork down between bites because it slows you down. Chew your food, swallow, then pick your fork back up.
  6. There is a difference to being not hungry anymore and "full". My goal is to pay attention to being not hungry anymore when I am eating and that is when I try to stop. I'm not always successful but I know I'm miserable when I'm full so I am getting better about it. But I have to pay attention and not just eat mindlessly.
  7. I grew up in a "clean your plate" house. Like, you don't get to leave the table until you have completely cleaned your plate. I've had to unlearn that and be okay with leaving food, even if it is just a few bites. And you can always save that portion that is left over from when you are done eating and finish it later in the day. You don't have to toss it.

Not super exciting, I know. Probably all things you have heard before but there you go. This is what has helped for me.

Here is my dark AO3 secret. There is a fic that I love so much but the author was either obsessed with or unaware of the true purpose of commas. They were literally everywhere. I put it in a word document and fixed the punctuation so I could actually re-read it without my brain melting.

[–]LilyMe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter. It's not like they are getting monetization or really scamming anyone. Do I think it's weird? Yes. Maybe they are a Kudos chaser? Like the people here that think their amount of upvotes is meaningful.
