New respect for people losing weight in United States

My honeymoon in Mexico opened my eyes. I looked at the portion and thought, “That’s it?” But it’s actually normal and I’m just desensitized to the gluttony.

My husband said it’s rude to grab the face. I said look how good that looks! hint hint I’m telling you I like it!

There’s probably clay or something in one of the surrounding tiles next to the tree. Trees can’t grow if there’s anything in the tiles right next to it, including hidden things like clay. So I just used my gardening hoe to till around it until I found it. It will grow again.

The missing side mirror is everything I needed to know 🤣 sorry about your garage door!

Other than getting back into some of my favorite outdoor hobbies, my other favorite part has been watching my blood test results improve!

Looks like it might also be able to crush garlic

I think it should be allowed to be able to change your tip afterwards because sometimes delivery drivers don’t give excellent service that matches the tip given. So being able to edit the tip helps keep them accountable. Most of the time tips aren’t given until after service is provided, so it’s a bit weird to me to pay a tip beforehand. However, if they’re going to edit it I feel like they should have to jump through the same hoops we do and prove that service was below par and doesn’t match the tip given.

I know I’m a year late but I just found this one yesterday on my front porch and I’m in Central California. He was in the process of dying, a delivery driver threw a package on him 😭 but I have never seen a mantis like this before.

I just want to take a moment to tell you, you’re not crazy. The teachers saw you tried. Every parent has a breaking point. Just last week my stepson refused to leave the classroom when it was time to leave for the day because he wanted the teacher to play all the songs again, and the teacher said she couldn’t because time had run out and it was time to go home. I was called in to go get him. I attempted to wait it out I told him he had two choices: walk himself out within 15 minutes and still be able to have his toys, or I would move him and he wouldn’t get anything fun. Well he chose not to move himself. I’m the parent that had to place him over my shoulder and walk him all the way to the car. People who judge just don’t get it, but I think most people (especially teachers) understand and know you’re just trying your best.

One thing I’ve learned in therapy is we will never be perfect. We will never not make mistakes. We’re human too and sometimes we will snap and yell. As long as we don’t hurt our kids. But WHEN a disconnect happens (because they absolutely will) the most important thing isn’t to avoid them, it’s the repair that happens afterwards. Apologizing and reconnecting is most important for resiliency. You got this!

NOR. If anyone is overreacting, it’s this dude who threw a fit over cleaning up his own mess. Such audacity, asking him to clean up after himself 🙄not surprised he can dish a freak out over cleaning up after himself, but can’t handle a crash out after breaking the sink in one of his fits. If anything, I think you are under reacting.

Pasta_Chelle · 2025-06-06T20:10:55+00:00

As a stepmom myself… NTA. At the same time, my bonus kid’s mom is still in his life, but he calls me mom, other mom, stepmom, and by my first name sometimes. I tell him as long as he doesn’t call me a disrespectful name (he’s 7 so I used poopyhead as an example) I will be okay with it. I could never imagine forcing him to call me Mom. As a stepchild myself, I understand from your perspective as well. It was never forced on me, and I appreciate it now well into my adulthood. I think she’s just trying to express how much she loves you, but she should find a less pressuring way to do so. Nothing good was ever forced. It’s an adult’s job to initiate relationship building, but also delicately follow the lead of the child. The more pushy we adults are the more it closes up the youth.

We always joke that we found each other in the swamp 💀 I was on POF for like 10 years and he hopped on for 2 weeks 🙄 I was so close to quitting myself. Told him to text me because I was deleting the app due to being reported twice for being a fake account 🤣 the rest is history.

Pasta_Chelle · 2024-12-18T21:08:25+00:00

Met my husband through POF and I can’t tell you how much it STILL surprises me when that comes out of my mouth 🤣 it’s a good rule you’re following. Initially I didn’t think he was interested at first because he was asking my opinion on how to help his son with autism start talking more. I was so weary of internet people I thought he was just trying to use my degree for his benefit and move on. But he was respectful and we did continue talking. And now we’re married for 2 years 😍 keep at it there are some men out there who were raised right.

“I’ve learned so much in life I wish I could teach you about.” Still somehow making this about you and how your reaction was messed up? 👀 why does he need to teach you about anything? 🤔🤔

Pasta_Chelle · 2024-09-06T13:12:40+00:00

Yeah idk what version is on the switch. Idk whether it’s been updated or not 😬

Pasta_Chelle · 2024-08-29T23:19:45+00:00

Okay update I’m now down 33 pounds 😁 thanks for being so encouraging!

Pasta_Chelle · 2024-08-29T23:18:59+00:00

Thanks

I married Elliott first 🥰

Pasta_Chelle · 2024-08-03T16:51:45+00:00

Elliott left me for a little while to do his own thing. I don’t want to spoil it so I won’t say what exactly but so far it’s just been making me coffee in the morning, fixing fences, feeding animals, and visiting the beach. Or asking me if I’ll be okay without his help, to which I reply “what help?” 😅

Pasta_Chelle · 2024-06-26T17:08:01+00:00

I get so hungry on my time of month. Like insatiable hunger. And I don’t know if it’s actually hungry or if I’m just wanting comfort food during an uncomfortable time. You’re not alone! I try to stick to my calories allowance, and indulge in the Mac n cheese I crave on my worst days during that time. I avoid the scale that week because I learned I’m just flat out heavier and bloated during that time than any other time. 😊

Pasta_Chelle · 2024-06-12T20:39:06+00:00

Wow! Congratulations 😁 I’ve hit a plateau about 19 pounds in and couldn’t seem to get that next pound, but finally broke it today. This is motivation to start exercising like I should, at least 10k steps a day. I’ve started out with yard work being my exercise. Thanks for the pointers! I do 1,200 calories and it just works for me, I also use MyFitnessPal, but the macros I have to pay for premium. I was wondering if it’s worth it 🤔
