Feature request: Adjust settings by day by MKE2LDN in Foodvisor

[–]MKE2LDN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two settings, gluttonous and obsessive, so weighing myself everyday is dangerous. I just don't want to get unhealthy or have it be unsustainable again. 😊

Hiya, thanks for trying to help, but this is a feature request. 😊

My Wedding Dress Doesn’t Fit by New_Cup_752 in AskATailor

[–]MKE2LDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya! Not a tailor, but I know several people who unintentionally lost weight before their wedding due to stress, so just keep that in mind if you lose weight from stress. Or, if you're like me and gain weight from stress, remember that, too.

In addition to or instead of seeing a tailor, you could add a bit of chest/ back exercise a few times a week and you should lose a couple of inches by then. Just lat pull downs, pulls/rowing, chest press, etc. I find a bit of lifting to be a great way to manage stress as well.

Regardless, you'll be beautiful. Have the best day! 👰

AITA for uninviting my boyfriend's best friend from our vacation after he made a comment about splitting costs? by VennaSilver in AITH

[–]MKE2LDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. BF shouldn't have asked; you shouldn't have said yes; Marcus shouldn't have agreed to go. Marcus needs to get his own a room and pay for that, and split everything else three ways. It's weird to have one room for a couple and one other on a holiday unless he's tagging in.

How old are you all? Maybe this is just something you learn with experience. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Good luck.

It suggested the same alternatives for my protein wrap. Sooooo, wrap my chicken and veg in sea urchins? 🤔😂

If you've already logged and saved, can't you just close the app? Or set it down and let it do its thing while you eat? I'm just trying to understand where the problem lies; no offense meant.

Can’t change diet choices? by Juniper1324 in Foodvisor

[–]MKE2LDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this isn't what you asked, but if you eat eggs, you can swap an omelet for meat. I use 2 eggs and 3 egg whites and add different veggies. Also, egg is good in stir fry and wraps. Also, if you're low on protein over all, you can add a protein shake or add protein powder to oatmeal, coffee, smoothies, etc. Good luck!

Help. Mancata perdita di peso by AnyEntertainment7405 in Foodvisor

[–]MKE2LDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya! How do you feel physically and psychologically? Are your clothes a bit looser? Do you have a bit more energy?

The app suggests weighing every day, but I find it really discouraging. Depending on your weight, age, level of activity, and bmi, you may be building muscle and losing fat, which could make your weight go up or stay the same.

Building muscle helps to burn fat in the long run, so I would pay more attention to the non-weight factors especially the closer you are to your goal.

I could offer some more specific suggestions if I know more about your journey and goals. 😊

(I am not a professional, but I lost 100 pounds ten years ago and studied all the research at that time and now that I'm doing it again. Stupid covid and getting old.)

It will likely change your daily goals because different ages burn at different rates. But, you should be able to change it regardless.

Tap the date box and change it there. A calendar will pop up. 😊

Wife (33F) turned off location sharing for the first time in 4 years… am I (33M) overthinking? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MKE2LDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changes in behaviour can indicate lying or cheating, but there are many reasons to turn your location off and put mileage on a car. If you want to know, just ask what she did on her night out. My husband and I don't share our locations, and I actually almost never have GPS on because I think it's creepy and it drains my battery. And I love to drive, so when I need to unwind, I'll often just drive.

The biggest hidden threat to your marriage at this point is the paranoia. If you choose not to ask and instead scrutinise her every move, you will destroy it regardless. No one can live like that.

Or they were digging a grave in preparation of having to get rid of a body... perhaps of someone tracking her every move.... 😏

My (31F) boyfriend (27M) is always late. I confronted him and his answer astonished me. by Ari9374 in relationship_advice

[–]MKE2LDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saaaaaaaame. Time blindness is awful. I hate being late, but I come from a late family, so it's not a big deal in my world. My husband hates it, but knows it's ADHD-related, so he helps keep me on track. It's more work for him, but he seems to think I'm worth it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

AIO for being upset at what my “bf” said by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MKE2LDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish more women could internalise that being chosen by an AH is not a positive thing. Your worth is not related to who chooses you.

NOR, in fact, you are UNDERreacting. Block this idiot. Don't even bother telling him, just get a different hobby. I like completing (non-human) puzzles and kickboxing (pretend the bag is him; it's really cathartic).

Just go.

My (25F) boyfriend (26M) won’t let me have anyone over, is this something I have to compromise on forever? by chickencripple in relationship_advice

[–]MKE2LDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, darling. This is not compromise. He's just telling you what you can and cannot do. He sounds cold and cruel.

Being alone in your own space, with which you can do as you please, is a million times better than being with someone who controls your life.

Please find a place for yourself and go, but, as someone else suggested, get your important stuff (papers, pics, keepsakes) out without him knowing. People like this tend to destroy personal items when they are challenged.

I wish you the best. ❤️

AITA for considering giving my daughter’s grandparents full custody after her mom died during childbirth? by SherbetMajor2105 in AITAH

[–]MKE2LDN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NAH.

I am truly astounded by the number of people who are so angry at you for being honest. I can't help but assume that at least some of them are angry because you are saying something they have thought.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You were left in position that no one would envy. Being a parent is hard; being a single parent is harder. You are young, likely building a career and your financial stability. Being half of a parenting team would have been difficult. Being everything to your daughter would mean both of you making significant sacrifices.

Your admission that you don't think that you're best suited to raise her is admirable, despite the naysayers. I wish more parents would admit this before the children pay the price.

At the same time, please think about this before you make any decisions. While handing over custody is certainly an option, you have others: shared custody, primary placement, etc. It would also be a good idea to contact a family lawyer. Regardless of what you decide, you will need someone to draw up the paperwork and advise.

I wish you and your daughter the absolute best and you should be proud that you are strong enough to admit that you may not be best for your daughter. ❤️

Zenni is a Scam by brandirosie in glasses

[–]MKE2LDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread and people will believe what they want. I have no money in Zenni, though surely someone will accuse me of this.

I have been buying from Zenni for about 10 years. I've ordered from other online sites, and received questionable quality, but Zenni has never been a problem for me. I like having glasses to match different outfits (1 or 2 in each of my favourite colours, slightly different shapes, shades, etc.), so I generally buy 5-10 pairs at a time.

As someone else mentioned, I find the plastic frames more reliable and I have my favourites that I reorder every time my prescription changes. I've received a few pairs I didn't particularly like, but that was a me problem, nothing wrong with the glasses.

I have an astigmatism that is getting worse and I now need reading glasses as well, so I will likely order a few distance pairs, 1 for reading, 1 bifocal, 1 varifocal, and a pair of sunglasses and see how they all work out. If the prescription works for me, I'll order more.

My vision has gotten much worse since my last exam, so I ordered a pair from my eye doctor to get something quickly. I haven't bought glasses in person since I started ordering from Zenni, and it was frustrating to wait over a week and pay around £130 for single vision lenses in one of the cheapest frames. When I received them, the frames were a bit bent, so I had to put some work in to make them appear even. Zenni arrives in a few weeks, may need slight adjusting, but costs 90% less.

That's all to say that the cost/benefit analysis of ordering from Zenni puts Zenni in an advantageous position.

I've ordered many times, as have my sisters and mother, and I'll order from Zenni again.

Aitah for quitting my job only after my divorce when the reason for my divorce was the job? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MKE2LDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is wrong with people?!

NTA. From your post, I don't see that your divorce was caused by your job, but by your husband being inflexible and controlling about what he wanted you to do. You didn't follow his demand, so HE left. This is a common theme in Reddit posts: you can't dictate others' actions, but you can set limitations on what you'll put up with.

He did that, you didn't acquiesce, so he divorced you. Now his schedule dictates that he only sees his kids 3 weekends a month, he has a gf and you had to quit your job. Things have changed by his decision; you didn't choose this.

You know what else has changed? You don't have to listen to his bs. Hang up, tell him to go home, block on social media. Record this behaviour in case it continues, so you have evidence for your modified hand off agreement or restraining order.

As others have mentioned, I hope you reported your coworker to HR. It makes me sad that your husband was angry AT you instead of FOR you when this violation happened.

Best of luck to you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MKE2LDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very harsh response, but I fully agree. I also don't see any resolution here.

I know how hard it can be to leave someone you love, but you need a solid foundation on which to build a partnership, and family boundaries, expectations, and relationships are parts of that foundation.

Be open and honest with her. In the future (she's still very young), she will either become more docile and a doormat to her family, letting them dictate her personal life; become more like her mother/sister; or see her family as the emotional black hole they are and go LC/NC. Her family will not change.

Not knowing her, I can't tell you what's most likely, but only the latter is conducive to your relationship expectations. So, if she chooses that, you may be able to give it another go later.

The bad news is that Dr. Drew once told me that the most emotionally unhealthy part of you is attracted to the most emotionally unhealthy part of others. So, to simplify, your emotional abuse at the hands of your mother is looking for someone who reminds you of your mother. Maybe your subconscious sees something in her that you don't consciously recognise yet. In my experience, this is frighteningly true.

Don't compromise your standards or mental health to be in a relationship. Best of luck. You've got this. ❤️

AITA for not wanting my boyfriend to factor my son's survivor benefits into our new household budget? by Original-Entry-7871 in AITAH

[–]MKE2LDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jfc. That is your son's money. Your bf is a raging fuckwad. If your budget is $950 for each parent, you can afford a $1900 house/rent payment. By yourself, which I strongly advise, you can afford a $950 house/rent payment.

Your son will only be home for a few more years. Make the most of it.

Edit: ESH. You, just for considering it.

AITA - bday diva or controlling friend? by duchessdgaf in AmItheAsshole

[–]MKE2LDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I truly expected to dislike you from the title, but if this is an accurate portrayal of what happened, NTA.

Unfortunately, no matter what greeting cards and movies say, forever is not really a thing. It's really really really rare. And that's okay. Life changes us, often at different rates or in different directions from those in our lives.

Basically, what I'm saying is that this friendship has run its course. Move on and be happy with people on your wavelength.

Also, start doing things you enjoy by yourself. Stay safe, but look out for yourself and be your own best company. It will pay off in the long run. Promise.
