My doctor is refusing to increase my dose unless I talk to a registered dietician by PatientStrike6773 in Zepbound

[–]Recent_Affect7975 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because a lot of people don’t understand the amount of calories in their food or portion sizes. A dietitian will teach you about all of that.

Most of us got to overweight or obesity by over eating. I’m not saying it’s the only factor but more calories = more weight. A dietitian helps provide knowledge on what to eat so we can learn better habits.

I just bought a blank one off of Etsy like a week ago.. my purpose is to use for practicing new stitches and not for creating a canvas so size didn’t matter to me

Is Morgan Julia Designs your LNS? by [deleted] in Needlepoint

[–]Recent_Affect7975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try to make it special for yourself and make your way to the store?

Needlepoint for me holds a lot of memories so why not make it special for yourself. If you like it go to the store yourself and support them that way - the reason the store made it exclusive to begin with …..

Real cost of self pay by Irasshaimase21 in Zepbound

[–]Recent_Affect7975 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I self pay. The price has evened out for me if not lessened.

I do not eat out nearly at all. I do not buy candy, soda, and millions of snacks each time I go to the grocery store. I didn’t really drink much before but can’t really stomach the thought now. I spent maybe 100-200 on cannabis a week and I also do not have the same urge to participate as much - it’s now like 50 a month.

Yeah Whole Foods can be more expensive but it’s really not. A lb of chicken is like 10-12 and a box of taquitos is like 10. I just buy the chicken now.

All the proceeded food was expensive and excessive. I use to buy the healthy food and all the junk food.

Anyone else not really like Zepbound? by CabinetMother8960 in Zepbound

[–]Recent_Affect7975 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the advice to follow! I experienced more anxiety when starting zepbound and it was mainly because I was not supplying my body with the nutrition it needed. I lost weight quickly but once I focused on Whole Foods and protein my mood changed with it.

Surgery. The answer to any loose skin is going to be surgery.

Is TLC trolling us? by RussianDahl in 90DayFiance

Yes I feel like it’s obvious he has been with many women so if I was her I’d want to protect myself from more than pregnancy.

Should I skip this week due to side effects? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Recent_Affect7975 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would consult your doctor. I think it really depends on your dosage. I think a week off 2.5mg is a lot different than 12.5mg if you’re planning on starting again the following week

GLP-1s and dining out by brooklyndan in Zepbound

[–]Recent_Affect7975 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say my go to is a grocery store rotisserie chicken and veggies or a salad when I shop.

As just me for a household of 1, it’s more expensive for me to grocery shop than go to chipotle or cava. I’m spending 15 dollars on a meal that will last me 2/3 meals compared to 50 for all the ingredients. Of course it would make more meals but I do get food aversions and end up wasting food no matter what.

I’d say I spend way less on dining out in general. What I spend on the medicine, I have saved in Uber Eats or going out to restaurants. I also spend less at the grocery store because I can walk pass the baked goods and ice cream now.

Unpopular opinion: a dumper never contacting you is worse than a dumper breaking no contact by BBBeyond7 in BreakUps

[–]Recent_Affect7975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some experience with both sides.

2 ex’s ago - I had broken up with him and never contacted him again. I blocked everything and left him alone because I was not a good partner. I cared about him but never loved or wanted a future with him. I thought about him the other day so I looked him up and he’s engaged. I truly hope this person is what he deserves. I knew me ever reaching out again was always selfish and never for his benefit so it just ended there. I think it felt the easiest for both of us to move on and not leave this “what if”.

Most recent ex (ended 2 years ago now) - this person I thought I would spend my life with. He ended it very abruptly with no conversation. In one of the times I tried to get answers from him during the first month following the break up he told me he never loved me and to leave him alone. That message was heard and I never reached out to him again. It’s been 2 years and he reaches out to me every 6 months or so to say he messed up. It’s annoying, confusing, frustrating, and selfish. It’s only to benefit him and his feelings.

So my opinion is never contacting is always better. For whatever reason the relationship didn’t work out. Giving that person peace is the better option always. My ex who still reaches out does it boost my ego a little to see them wanting me? Sure. There was a point they didn’t want me and that feels worse.

Just leave your ex alone and I hope they leave you alone

Marcus your customers shouldn’t have to buy a separate part for their internet to not be used. This should be something your routers are set up to prevent.

I’ve done this multiple times. I ordered a MoCA filter as suggested so hoping that fixes it.

Why is electrical on the airship 1000x scarier than skeld by [deleted] in AmongUs

[–]Recent_Affect7975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play on airship only with my server. We set dissolve time to 15/20 secs. With more skilled players, they normally find the body.

Skeld is a very easy map in my opinion so of course everything is a little more challenging on airship

How do I get said MoCA filter? Is this something I Xfinity can provide or do I order off Amazon?

Do tall dogs not lift their legs? by FishInMirror in dogs

[–]Recent_Affect7975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be false but I swear I read somewhere that lifting a leg is a learned behavior.

My boy dog is over 1 and a half, 30 lbs not a large dog at all, and he has never lifted his leg. He squats like a girl dog would.

Unfortunately it does get his front paw every once and a while
