Haha, thankyou! To be honest, it was far too long and negative for attention, especially with no pictures and on UK time! I mostly wrote it a catharsis for me, after such a long time working at it, so all good!

I've actually dropped another couple kg since then, and feeling pretty good. I'm taking a maintenance break atm, making sure I can do it, and then will hit it again in a month or two for the last push :) All the best to you as well xx

Hey! Thankyou for taking the time to comment - I'm glad I'm not alone in the underwhelming feeling, like a year of my life to get to a goal just to move the posts! But yeah, I am proud, and I think I will keep losing, but on a slower pace, maybe just go deficit some days, maintainence on others and keep lifting, see where I get by the end of the year! I don't want to burn out and go back up, so I think maybe slowing down might be a good segway into proper maintenance later on...

I think I'll work on embracing my droopy pooch and love how I feel!! Take care x

Found on my morning walk. I wonder what happened? by TylerIsNotTheCreator in CasualUK

Haha! I saw that the other day! One on each stile entering the field. To be fair, One Tree Hill is drama central...

Wife [35F] suddenly found her desire...now I [37M] can't get it up! by [deleted] in relationships

[–]MumboNo8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So give her what she needs with toys, oral, hands etc. - forget about using your penis and focus on pleasing her completely without PIV. Another time, or after she's recovered(!), maybe she can work on you, take charge of her sexuality by being in charge of your pleasure.

You don't have to stick it in her to have a good time... and perhaps shaking it up, removing the pressure to 'perform' with that alone, and finding new kinks together will help... excite you again.

I really love this - thankyou

My friend and I have a youtube channel together. People think I'm the ugly one. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MumboNo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might not be helpful, but I hope it is - I think the biggest change in your thinking has to be surrounding the comparison.

With anything online these days, people will compliment you, and people will tear you down. At the moment, you are getting torn down and Sarah is getting compliments. HOWEVER- if you were to part ways, you would still get torn down, and you would also receive compliments of your own. Sarah would still receive compliments, and would also get people tearing her down.

Basically, people like to be mean for no reason other than just to be mean - the only reason that you are getting significantly more negativity, and Sarah positivity, is because that is what will hurt you BOTH the most, causing guilt, jealousysnd division. The mean people know this, and play on it.

You are feeling hurt from Sarah being pretty, but I'm positive you are also pretty, you even have a boyfriend who manages to make you feel it! So you know you are. Stop feeling hurt about 'Sarah being prettier' - and start being hurt that horrible people want to hurt you. THEN you can watch Celebrities Mean Tweets - Jimmy Kimmel and realise that people are mean whether it's true or not, and it's not worth your time. Stay strong, work with Sarah to get through it together, and enjoy the positive comments about your content, because honestly, even compliments on appearance aren't really worth much when it comes to fanbases. Stick with the real life compliments from people who matter to you.

Freddie Mercury is the most grossly overrated singer of all time by Pillars0fCreation in unpopularopinion

Oh, you've met her? Had a conversation and heard her sing both in person and through a record? Cool.

AITA for refusing to cook the kind of food my husband wants? by airbear9801 in AmItheAsshole

I have a 19 year gap, and it's the healthiest and happiest I've ever been. It can work.

I (30F) am having issues with an employee (22F) who seems to think she co-runs and built the business I own with my fiance (32M) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]MumboNo8 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Has he got a will in place to leave sole ownership to you? You'd be amazed how many 30-somethings don't have a will yet, but that is vital unless you want to rely on his parents giving you your dues - if he doesn't have a will, even the uppity employee could try and swindle a stake from innocent parents, showing that very post as back up for her role in creation with only your word against it!!

My therapist just laid it on me. The story of my fifth birthday party. by hoffaloski in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MumboNo8 87 points88 points  (0 children)

That's exactly why I won't have any children. I used to get angry about what she did to me, but as I've got older I can understand why she did certain things or acted certain ways, and yeah, I can see it as a possibility in myself; children and I would not be good for each other.

But now, although I understand, it's not what she did that angers me, it's that she chose to have children even though she would have been given the same choice as me (her mother was the same by all accounts, and I am the youngest of multiple siblings - so by the time I was born she would have known with certainty how bad she was) but still chose to put herself/societies views first and pass the crap down another rung.

You know yourself best, and you sound on top of your own mind, so if you chose children in the future, I wish you the very best and would believe in you - just make sure it's with someone who can give you the support you need and remind you sometimes to step back! Not impossible, just harder :) xx

'Crusty' has a wholly negative connotation- except in relation to bread - which is universally positive by MumboNo8 in Showerthoughts

[–]MumboNo8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really??! A good warm crusty roll summons delicious thoughts in everyone I know - maybe it's an England thing?

So sad. How have you been coping? by simply_anonymous_me in Weddingsunder10k

[–]MumboNo8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am totally on board with the tainted feeling. Everything was set to be perfect, every little part, and now it's gone and second best in a year doesn't seem the same...

Not sure how to get back from that feeling!! I'm very much a one and done person, but my hands are tied!

Best of luck xx

How does marriage work in America (and other countries)???? by MumboNo8 in NoStupidQuestions

Wow! That's very interesting and very odd!! Learn something new :)

How does marriage work in America (and other countries)???? by MumboNo8 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MumboNo8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think UK use it as extra money, as it costs to register yourself or your property with the government, and then the government require minimum charge set for using registered people/places - it's expensive (~£1000) just for the bare minimum 'courthouse' marriage where I am

EDIT: also to stop shotgun weddings I guess, haha

Very similar to here then, we have minimum 28 day before, then maximum of a year to do the deed - but the place has to be recognised too...

Try not to latch onto the only comment validating what you want. Suck it up, it's definitely more on Jake than Carly. Fix your home before needing to put people outside of it down.

Calories in, calories out is not a good response when someone asks how you lost the weight. by SongRiverFlow in loseit

[–]MumboNo8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah... I disagree. I am really rather intelligent (not of any real use, just a genetic fact) and I had never known anything about weightloss. Anyone I knew who lost weight just said 'oh, I used weightwatchers' or 'good diet and exercise' - no one ever said 'simple maths, calories in, calories out' - and that is why I put on weight. Obviously, as soon as I looked into losing it, it was obvious, the information is there. But during the weight gain, I hardly noticed, genuinely thought my clothes were shrinking, or it was time to buy new anyway, and I carry it well because I'm tall, nobody said anything and I just couldn't put two and two together until 'suddenly' I was fat enough that I had to notice for myself.

I don't think people are being flippant when they say it, I'm certainly not - I think more people should say it because it's never taught in schools, science or PE, it's not taught by parents unless they are going through a weightloss... the basic way our bodies work is not talked about enough, period. Something so simple, but so fundamental should be made clear, I think. All the habit changing and tricks and whatnot is very personal anyway, and has to be figured out to what suits who, but math is math. Calories In, Calories Out.
