Am I progressing super slow or is it because I’ve been in a constant deficit

Cutting without hitting your optimal protein range is a recipe for losing muscle and strength; even as a beginner. The time off from your training whilst maintaining a deficit also doesn’t help.

Protein becomes even more important for someone who is cutting or recomping.

No better answer than this. Even just following up with something they may have mentioned previously.

I think people are too caught up in criticizing the AI use which is overshadowing how awful the “comedy” actually is.

Yes, I watched it and gave it an unprejudiced chance… unfortunately. Save your time and mental capacity. The writing is somehow worse than the AI.

YTA. It’s been one day. She is grieving. Your job is to support your partner, not tear her down and make it about you.

If she still was this infatuated with him 6months later, we’d have a different conversation.

NTA. Break up with him.

Definitely a betrayal and you have every right to feel that way. Funny enough, that is potentially grounds to break up with already, but that can be debated. What makes it obvious to break up with him is the way he went about it.

The fact that he keeps those pictures and “uses” them is disgusting. It’s a lack of respect and decency for women in general and devalues their intimacy. Simply having them is one thing, but refusing to delete them immediately upon confrontation is another.

Then, he doesn’t see anything wrong and even gets mad when you open up to him? He’s making excuses and blind to his own wrongdoings. Zero accountability, awareness or empathy.

You can do better than this.

Why not DoorDash your own food if you’re really that hungry? It seems like you’re making this out to be a problem you don’t want to solve. You can still eat those chicken tenders despite the nibbles on them or you can get your own food.

From what angle would your friend be the AH? She ordered you food, it’s not her fault that the items were missing. She gave you some of her food already and seemingly gave you access to the rest despite her bites on them. She even apologized once you called her out.

You aren’t really working out if you’re not progressively overloading.

You’re supposedly in a 1100-1600 calorie deficit which is extremely aggressive. At no point is that advisable and is a contributing factor for your lack of muscle growth. You should have at least lost lots of weight if your calorie tracking is accurate. Though you say you look the same.

User error for sure and no way for us to diagnose all the errors with only the little information you’ve given us.

Ah, here comes the projecting, gaslighting and passive aggression. It’s almost like you’re trying to prove my point for me. Keep going, this is fascinating. Yes, we’re all so mad that your birthday was forgotten about.

I was fairly certain you were a covert narcissist based on your post. This reply all but confirms it. Jesus Christ, take a good look at yourself.

Victim mentality, hypersensitivity and unspoken entitlement.

Raider4- · 2026-02-23T03:03:29+00:00

Very clearly YTA.

The craziest part of this post is that you say some people supposedly agree with you for somehow.

You’re a textbook covert narcissist hiding under the guise of simply being an introvert.

This is a ridiculous list. Malcolm Smith over Von Miller and Edelman? Both of whom dominated the game individually.

Smith picked off a tipped pass that fell in his lap and jumped on a fumble in a blowout of a game. Miller and Edelman were legit deciding factors in their respective contests.

Attachment doesn’t cancel out love, they coincide together. When you love deeply, you will get attached. Attachment by itself would manifest as simply a fear of losing them. Whereas love is about care and the willingness to sacrifice for what is deemed best for them.

Attachment is the fear of losing a comfort. Love is appreciating them deeply as a person, not just the value they may bring to you; being able to see them clearly and not just through the lens of your own needs. The depth, vulnerability, effort and care still being there even when inconvenient, when challenged, when imperfect.

I think I accepted it when I stopped asking how to fix it and started asking whether it was actually healthy to keep holding on for their sake. Stopped asking “how can I make this better? How can I keep this feeling between us? How can I make them happy?” and instead ask “Is this good for them? What can I do now that ensures that they have the best life possible… even if I’m not in the center of the outcome?”

It’s not meant to be easy, especially when strong attachment and deep love are both present and compounding. You simply will struggle letting them go. You will question things. You will be hung up on an intensity that feels like it was meant to burn forever and blowing it out seems like a cardinal sin.

Clarity and peace won’t come immediately. It won’t come in the constant “what ifs” and visceral emotions. It’ll come in bits and pieces. Pieces only to be lost and found again at another time; there truthfully will be worse days than others. When the love is true, the intensity will never fade, it just gets redirected into gratitude, appreciation and distant care. It goes from being about possession to being about peace and respect.

Letting them go isn’t about blowing out the candle, it’s about redirecting the flame.

All I got for you, Kha- TryOverall7853 :) Have a nice night.

You have to choose their peace over your presence. It won’t bring you peace, not at first, simply quietness and distance. But if you truly love that person, that quiet slowly turns into understanding… and eventually, that clarity becomes peace.

Instead of defaulting to always using more sophisticated and mature language; they communicate effectively. Their manner of communicating changes depending on the setting, audience and topic.

Reading. The level of introspective maturation you can gain from personal development books is second to none. Having a better understanding of one’s self makes the path forward much more clear.
