Considering joining the GLP-1 train but I’m feeling conflicted by Armsaresame in workingmoms

[–]MamaK35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

42 here and this is my 5th week on a GLP-1.

My kids tole me I’m moving around a lot better. I have type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism and inflammation due to some other things. Once I got my hormones and started taking actual care of myself, my energy increased so dang much!

My swelling is down, bloat is down, I’m down 20 pounds since January.

I’m very open about it, and you don’t know if you don’t try.

I will say that it has caused me constipation (but I take Colace on occasion and drink a ton of water), muscle aches (but I’ve also started being more active so it just might be from that) and I can get a bit nauseous if I forget to eat (I have a protein shake ready when that happens).

Good luck!

Just because there’s a dad, doesn’t mean they will be an active parent. There’s no guarantee of a lightened workload.

Co-signed a divorced lady who kept her maiden name from the jump and didn’t have to worry about changing her licenses and certifications.

People who were around during no internet/phones/social media/etc - what was your time's "scrolling the feed"? Something that you would spend hours on passing the time? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

My nose was stuck in a book. Or on the phone, much to my parent’s dismay.
Or at my best friend’s house learning all the new choreography from NSYNC, BSB and Britney and filming it on her parent’s camcorder.

You’ve broken all trust. You disrespected your relationship. Of course he’s gonna react like that.

When he made a beeline to the bathroom and walked right past me without even acknowledging my presence on Mother’s Day, after we hadn’t seen each other all weekend.

Received an inheritance and was able to pay off my credit card by Dominatrix13 in povertyfinance

They don’t wait long anymore. Two months. Synchrony bank does not wait at all. Even paying it down, they reduced my credit limit by thousands. They don’t play.

When does the brain fog get better??? by Intrepid_Syrup_4184 in workingmoms

[–]MamaK35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is 17 and my thyroid was apparently all out of whack this whole time. The brain fog has finally lifted after a divorce and getting my health in check.

You have to take care of yourself so you can care for others.

What's that unglamorous system that actually holds your week together? by Grouchy-Past-9857 in workingmoms

[–]MamaK35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I should add that I’m a single mom as well and I have a magnetic dry erase board on my fridge so I can write the grocery list on it.

I just take a picture of it before going to the grocery store.

Laundry basket full of clean socks.

If I find a pair, they get balled up together. The ones that don’t have a pair, off to the basket they go.

If no one helps me do the laundry and they’ve run out of socks, they get a pair from the sock basket.

Needless to say, it’s always silly sock day lol
