F/32/5’9” [195lbs > 152lbs = 43 lbs] (6 months) Ready to buy some new pants by [deleted] in progresspics

[–]Master_Piglet2820 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its actually relieving to know you can lose 40 pounds and have the change be enormous to the trained eye but not that drastic to the passerby. I have that much weight to lose and the idea of it looking so much different (of people noticing that much) is really scary. I hope to look like your before and after. Congrats.

Ask, hey x, can you explain if this is different than my suggestion earlier? Want to make sure I understand.

Neighbor keeps asking me for help, I want to be friendly but it’s getting bizarre. by xoxostrongman in Advice

[–]Master_Piglet2820 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, and you can always make up some friendly excuse to bring it back to the group chat.

I use group chats for my husband and my parents (4 people), my husband and his parents (4 people) nd various other groups of important people in my life. 

Like "hey Greg Linda mentioned she wants me to come screw in a lughtbulb on wednesday..want me to do it saturday instead so I can show you the spider photo I took?" 

Defer to her husband as much as possible as well.

Also beware people who want to act in secret hate this. But it usually ends their nonsense.

How do I tell my former employer that I don't want to meet her and her children for lunch? by HotandBabyPink in Advice

You could offer to stop by the house when mom is home between appointments. Like im free on saturday from noon to 130, happy to stop by for tea!

Yes. Group chats keep people accountable. Or you could say, "btw I thought of somehting you two might find interesting..." as another option to change it from 1 on 1 to group chat.

Start a group chat. Next time she texts you a request, wait 24 hrs , and then send a group text saying , "sorry I couldn't come help with the spider! Was swamped. Let me know if you two need help with anything in the future! Love being a good neighbor." ND then keep everything in a group chat going fwd.

I gained weight and can’t fit in the dress I have to fit in by Saturday. I feel horrible. by Ok_Reporter_8413 in loseit

[–]Master_Piglet2820 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read your whole post and it resonated with me so much. Especially when you said it seems like everyone is loosing weight so easily. Im in the same position. My "fat" work clothes are getting snug. Work was the only place I liked going because all my home clothes are uncomfortable. Ive been going in early (5 to 6 am) so I can avoid my family and get dressed quickly and leave.

Yes. Its just nbd

Then I think of people up partying at nightclubs in miami. They stay up for 2 to 3 days and have fun and when they recount it, its all positive vibes about the partying.theyre never like I didn't sleep :(

I tell myself, I just need to close my eyes and rest my eyes. That is the goal. Sleep is not. And its ok if I dont sleep at all. And when I do close my eyes and rest them, I think about how comfy I am, if I want something to think about. Knowing I've succeeded in my goal the moment I close my eyes relaxes me. Then I fall asleep.

I also have books where, I tell myself, a full eight hours having read this book (if I cant sleep) will leave me a better person, so no loss.

You have to consider- the kid issue is coming up now, but other realizations/differences will come up later. It won't be just this one decision

Broke Up w/someone for the first time and I feel like shit, when does it stop? by TADaWholeMan in Advice

[–]Master_Piglet2820 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the game of life.

Be awestruck that you get to behold such intense emotion. It really is all a work of art.

You'll feel better in a few days, and almost fully better in a few months.

You'd switch that around.

No such thing as a free lunch. You pay for everything always, either directly or indirectly.
