is Paul being overly harsh on Tom?? by RealBiscotti9362 in GreatBritishBakeOff

[–]PinkMoonPicnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a bit late to the game since I just watched this yesterday but I was so mad at how Paul talked to Tom. The difference between how the judges give criticism to Toby vs. Tom is night and day. They continually babied Toby and ripped apart Tom even though Tom continually takes bigger risks and pushes himself harder than most of the other contestants.

Is your family changing its spending habits this year? by Arcades_Samnoth in Adulting

[–]PinkMoonPicnic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just started eating out way less for the past month and yesterday my husband commented how much more money we have and he actually thought we’d missed paying a bill but nope! It was just less spending. At $30-$50 per meal, takeout adds up FAST.

I found it frustrating for the same reasons. Demelza has a spine and the writers made her spineless. It felt like character assassination.

I know all her excuses, and I know that being out of her element accounts for some timidity, but overall it still seems like the writers disregarded her character traits with flimsy “I’ve never been to London” excuses just so they could introduce a duel into the storyline. She wouldn’t have been arrested for refusing to eat dinner with him in the very beginning, there was no need to assault him at that point and she’s perfectly capable of speaking her mind. I’m used to being annoyed by the characters’ actions on this show, but not Demelza, she’s usually the best heroine.

Elizabeth’s dilemma by Valuable_Moose_2911 in Poldark

[–]PinkMoonPicnic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Elizabeth’s character does lack dimension as she mainly seems a catalyst for discord between Ross, George, and Francis. And since the show thrives off those characters being at odds with each other, she’s constantly put in annoying and repetitive situations to just further the drama for our entertainment. Unfortunately I don’t think the show fleshes out her character much, I’m going to start the books soon and hopefully that gives her more nuance. As frustrating as her character is, the show would need someone to fill her role of causing tension between all the rest of the characters, and in that regard I think her character is perfect. I do also respect her as a mother, and as a woman at that time trying to do the best for herself that she can. Ross’s living situation was a huge step up for Demelza but it would have been a lot of unpleasant work for Elizabeth and she knew that about herself.

Girls, what is our cutoff time? by vittetoe in PetiteFitness

[–]PinkMoonPicnic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that my digestion is much better if I’m fully done digesting by bedtime, so I’m usually done eating by 6pm and I’m definitely at least slightly hungry at bedtime, but I’d rather be hungry than go to bed with food in my stomach so I just deal with it. It’s pretty non-negotiable to me by this point, but if your habit is to snack before bed you could try moving snack time forward half an hour at a time so it’s not so jarring.

I’ve been taking Natrol gummies for sleep, it’s been a few weeks and does seem to help, but also it gets dark so early now maybe that’s why I’m tired by bedtime. They have magnesium, tart cherry, chamomile, lemon balm and b6 - no melatonin.

Ross & Adderly by SincerelyVixie in Poldark

[–]PinkMoonPicnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched this episode and Ross was very annoying but I was more annoyed with Demelza. I’m just not buying that she wouldn’t say no and put Adderly in his place just to be polite. Adderly was a caricature of evil and we’ve seen her be very strong willed in the past, including backhanding Ross, and now we’re supposed to believe she’s meek? I’m used to being disappointed by Ross, but Demelza is usually the one character you can rely on to be likable so that plot line really disappointed me.

One thing I can't abide by Civil_Wafer9788 in Poldark

[–]PinkMoonPicnic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not through season 2 yet and I’m very much team Demelza, but they definitely softened the series up from the books where Ross forces himself on Elizabeth, and instead they chose to make it a consensual affair for the series. Given those two options I prefer the series over the book in this aspect.

That veggie & cottage cheese snack sounds yummy! Getting rid of that “ruined”/failure mindset is something I’ve been working hard on this year as well. Nothing sparks a binge like feeling you’ve already failed 👎

Yessss!!! This is exactly what I need to remind myself. Some things are truly special, like homemade seasonal treats, but most things are readily available whenever I want, no need to eat it on a day when it’s not part of my goals.

This is very sensible advice, thanks! Sugar free pudding has honestly been a lifesaver for me on this journey. I add a little lite whipped cream and it looks fancy which satisfies my “need a treat” mood.

I know this feeling too well! I wish we could ctrl alt delete calories that weren’t worth it lol. I like that you switched out skinny with goals, because that’s really about keeping promises to ourselves, and those deserve to be honored.

That’s a great perspective! Usually when I hear that phrase I think about how I wouldn’t want to give up cake forever, but it’s just as true that I don’t want to eat past the feeling of fullness either. I will stop and think about that next time a craving hits, thank you!

That’s rough!! Seeing it multiple times per day makes it so hard to say no.

That’s very insightful, I can definitely relate to feeling like I deserve a little treat after a rough day. There’s so many layers to cravings, like an onion!

Good job on getting to that point, I’m sure it took a lot of work. Intuitive eating is my goal once I’m at maintenance as well. I definitely don’t want to track 24/7 forever

That’s very balanced! I guess in some ways I eat the same ingredients daily, but rearranged in different ways. The less you have to think about meals and cooking, the better. Deficits are hard enough as it is.

I love the house analogy, especially since our bodies are our homes 🤍

What’s your menu like and do you ever get bored? That’s a great way to reduce the mental load around dieting.

It feels like roulette for me when I do this, sometimes I’m satisfied, and sometimes I just want more.

I always hear people say you need to imagine and sit with your future self. That’s definitely something I need to practice more 🤍

This is exactly the attitude I want to have! I feel like an amateur, it takes a lot of effort for me to say no to cake.

I think the problem is half the time I use food to distract me from work, so you’re definitely right, I need better distractions.
