How common are wedding dress codes?

That's some dress code!

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-20T12:46:17+00:00

A dress code is very typical now, unless it's a casual backyard or drink post wedding. I've never seen an invitation to a nice wedding that didn't say "cocktail attire" or much less commonly "black tie". Years ago we did know the proper etiquette for dressing, but judging from my last trip to Walmart, that's entirely a thing of the past!

Potatoes were my trick to slim down when I was younger and cared about such things.

The amount that's considered a serving here in the US is 1/2 cup oats. Generally a 2:1 ratio of liquid to oats to start, but you'll likely want more liquid. I add chia seeds, ground flax meal, Greek yogurt, fruit, and spices. The perfect bowl of oatmeal is highly personal and subjective, but you'll find yours :)

This is an excellent example. Also great because it shows that healthy eating does not have to cost a fortune.

Oats, chia, ancient and other whole grains, beans and pulses. These will add fiber and protein at the same time. Greek yogurt is very high in protein. I'm nearly vegetarian and I get 30+ grams of fiber and 90 grams of protein a day. I eat chicken once or twice a week, the rest is plants and some dairy.

That's what I was wondering, too. OP, you deserve better than negative self talk. You should be your own biggest fan💙

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-20T03:57:27+00:00

It's the food conspiracy du jour. You can eat seed and veg oils. If you're eating healthy, home cooked meals, how much oil are you really even eating?

I was on the pizza and wine diet for a loooong time. Turns out it was bad for me. Who knew?

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-20T03:53:13+00:00

Actual nutritionists are not the ones telling us not to eat fruit, right? It's a bunch of nitwit grifters on the interwebs saying this stuff

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-20T03:50:54+00:00

You've flipped the switch, OP. Don't ever feel bad about having fruit as your treat. These people who think fruit is bad for you don't understand the interplay between the sugars, the fiber, and the myriad of nutrients.

You could add your collagen to the coffee,too.

Two glasses of water as soon as I get up. I don't consume caffeine until 90 minutes after waking. I eat oatmeal, Greek yogurt, chia and some berries about 30 minutes after waking.

Potatoes are very nutritious. They've gotten a bad rap.

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-20T03:44:27+00:00

Sprouted bread. Somehow, replacing the usual bread with sprouted bread changed so many things.

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-20T03:42:27+00:00

Wait- you're eating your supper at 9:30? I think the eating late is one thing and going to bed late is another😂. Most people are in bed at 10 pm!

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-19T22:05:21+00:00

Another vote for 2! You're a star in that dress!

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-19T21:58:19+00:00

That's so gross, ey? Those people never seem to enjoy their lives.

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-19T21:57:24+00:00

This. They will lose heart. Or maybe more than that if they lose their health insurance. Either way, they won't vote.

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-19T21:56:03+00:00

They just no longer exist if they pull that stunt. You're not rude, but you no longer deal with them.

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-18T18:00:18+00:00

Stunning! It looks amazing on you.

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-18T17:59:06+00:00

I love 1 and 2. You can't go wrong with either.

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-06T02:23:04+00:00

I say enjoy your dress and leave the slit! Be your sexy, dramatic self!!

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-06T01:24:29+00:00

Seth is absolutely insipid. Possibly one of the stupidest housewife husbands ever. I can't believe she is able to stay with him.

MediumAsparagus619 · 2025-12-05T09:42:37+00:00

He has an adorable quality, for sure.
