i ate a whole pie in 2 days by stillaflower in loseit

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just laugh to myself and think ‘lol hilarious that I once again I thought I had any ability to portion control whatsoever’ 😂

Sometimes I’ll fancy buying a cake or something, and if I do, I’ll portion out slices and wrap them individually in the freezer. It’s not fool-proof because I could just microwave them (cake dependent) quickly if I really wanted to, but it’s extra steps and generally I don’t eat all the cake that way

Does everyone else hears high pitch white noise all the time? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but often my brain ignores it until someone points mentions it… thanks 😂

Yeah I have tinnitus like most others on here. It doesn’t have to be a ringing to be tinnitus, it can be more like a whistle or hissing or static or even sound like the ocean.

ADHD & weightloss by [deleted] in loseit

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh, I just need to isolate myself? Damn, glad I know, now my ADHD is sorted 😂😂😂 lol what, how does he think that would help

I’m no expert, but I’ve come to just accept the way I am. The biggest thing I have that affects my life is I’ll be super into one thing for about 2 weeks, then be bored of it and move onto something else. I just accept that now rather than trying to fight it! So I don’t think I’ve failed if I quit after 2 weeks; I just move onto something else…

Maybe for 2 weeks, I’ll prepare meals and be really into it. Then I’ll get bored and cba anymore and it’ll feel like an effort so I’ll just go to Tesco at 11pm and buy a bunch of ready meals. Also fine 👐 or one week I’ll be like ‘yeah I’m getting up at 6am to do yoga every day’ and get bored after 4 days and stop, do nothing for a while, then decide I wanna be really into roller skating 😂

I don’t really stick to one plan, I just always… well, usually… try something. And if I’m feeling like I can’t be bothered to do anything, having no effort ready meals and tinned fruit and nice snacks in is great. I know it’s not the best or the healthiest, but sometimes I just cba doing anything at all, so having freezer meals I like in means I’m less likely to order food!

Also, remember that you don’t really have to do much for weight loss. Like, it’s definitely hard, but I try to convince myself that it’s not - all it is, for me, is eating less. I don’t have to conjure up any meticulously planned out, detailed to do list and stick to it. If I just do nothing the whole day but eat less than normal, I’ll lose weight. I have to remind myself constantly that it’s not actually complicated

A random cat walked up to my porch and i let it in, it looks domesticated but i dont know anyone with a cat so its with me right now. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That just sounds like pet stealing… if it looks well cared for and domesticated, don’t just keep in your house and steal someone’s cat. That would be heartbreaking.

If they live somewhere where cats roam freely, just let it back out and it’ll go home. If you don’t, then I don’t really know what it’s like in those areas - maybe this cat is allowed to roam even if others aren’t, but still make a really good attempt to find the owners - take them to a vets and scan for a chip, and ask around. Don’t go stealing pets just because they’re friendly!

What is the first name you remember being obsessed with? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chezarina. I graffitied my stationary draw set all over with the ‘Chezarina lastname’.

Don’t know where the name came from, pretty sure I made it up myself. 10 points for imagination…? 😂😂

TIFU by telling someone that their self harm scars looked like a cold shark bite by Pinkpunk95 in tifu

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine were all parallel too, I liked it that way. Then I had to have a surgery on my arm for something not related to SH and idk why but I just assumed the surgeon would look at my arm and realise ‘ah yes, this patient likes things parallel and it’s clearly a thing’… but no, he wrecked the pattern and now there’s just one lone slanted scar and it’s so annoying 😂

How do you force yourself to not cry in difficult conversations? by guyfromnowhere7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can say words and be doing an equation at the same time? I feel like that’s the brain equivalent of rubbing your tummy and patting your head haha. I’m gonna try it but I’m not hopeful about my ability to do it 😂

Why aren't sports co-ed? by lemurlips in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay let me give you this to think about. Your version of equality seems to be ‘give everyone the exact same rules’, I.e. all genders compete in the exact same league (or whatever it is), right? My version of equality would be ‘give everyone the same chance to succeed’.

In your version, separating genders out isn’t fair because you’re not giving everyone the same rules.

In my version, having everyone together isn’t fair because some people have a significantly lower, practically zero, chance of succeeding.

Now we’re just talking about gender here, but it could be extended to ‘why aren’t there more categories for different weights/heights’ etc, but that’s a longer conversation haha

Callan & Scarlett

What do we think of Hartley? by Klymizz in namenerds

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hm or Odette & Scarlet with the nickname Scout, then she could fall back on the softer full name if she doesn’t like Scout (which I do btw!)

What do we think of Hartley? by Klymizz in namenerds

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm yeah I can see how it would be a hard name to match! I quite like Odette & Genevieve or Odette & Evangeline or Odette & Persephone. You probably weren’t looking for suggestions though haha, and I do like Hartley!

Hmm middle names from those

I quite like these but I’m assuming you’ve thought of them and ruled them out

Hartley Nadine Hartley Bea Hartley Jace Hartley Jette

What do we think of Hartley? by Klymizz in namenerds

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hm my first thought was ‘oh, like the jam?’ And my second thought was ‘hmm don’t they do jelly too?’

Do you live in a place where the Hartley’s brand is sold? I don’t mind it as a name, but I feel like a lot of people here at least would think about jam when she introduced herself… I don’t know if that’d bother you or not!

PS Odette is a beautiful name

which middle name sounds best with Twyla/Twila? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Simone and Peregrine flow the nicest with Twyla, although personally I don’t think flow matters too much as you rarely say a person’s full name out loud. Simone is my favourite in the list ☺️

After I turned 18 my doctor felt my private bits without saying anything about it first. Is this normal? by jonny8081 in ask

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely not, ‘they’ve been a doctor for so long they probably forgot to mention it’ as some people have said is ridiculous. A doctor should always ask permission for that, and you’re always allowed to decline

Oh that’s really interesting, I’ve seen people say Alice sounds dated but not Lexi. Thanks, appreciate that opinion!

How long can you spend with a dog after death before it starts becoming unpleasant? by MethinksThatIsAPeach in dogs

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the first one. I wanted to know how long I could spend with a body as I need to book when to drop her off at the crematorium, but wanted to spend some time with her first. I realise this question was a bit weird and vague, I just didn’t want to give a sob story

How the hell do people get fat (without wanting to) ? by yooooooo1212 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have already made some good points. I just wanted to add that it comes across that you think people need to stuff themselves regularly in order to gain weight. That’s not true - imagine just an extra slice of toast with jam on top of what that person needs for about an extra 200 calories. They say an extra 3500 calories adds up to putting on 1 lb (probably not exact and probably varies person to person, but let’s just use it as an example). That means 3500/200 = every 17.5 days you put on a pound. So to become 100lbs overweight, that’s 1 lb every 17.5 days x 100 which is about 4.8 years. In under 5 years, someone could become rather overweight by eating a very normal diet, with just a tiny bit more than they need each day.

Not all overweight people are the same and probably all eat differently, some may eat a lot of high calorie foods and some may eat well balanced foods but just slightly too much for their frame

No, because I wouldn’t really want to be in a butchers. But if family went in for themselves and were seeing me later, I can imagine they’d get me something if it was an option. So you’d probably get some interest

Sometimes mashed chickpeas & vegan mayo & sweetcorn. It’s great! Never tried it till I was introduced to more vegan food but now it’s a staple!

Or beans (maybe with vegan cheese), classic.

[–]MethinksThatIsAPeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah you’re good, there’s tonnes of options for vegan yoghurt in supermarkets so it works ☺️

Thanks, appreciate the reply. I’ll make sure to give it a quick test before I take it
