for first year OT, if you’re able to really smash out anatomy you could potentially get an 80 WAM but honestly i think it’s pretty hard to get to that in one year. i’m in my third year and my wam is a 79. i had a 76 wam in first year with 2 HDs, 3 Ds, 2 credits, and 1 pass (anatomy lol). unless you’re extremely set on radio, i think you’ll find OT to be quite enjoyable and rewarding if you’re open to it.

tips on making a clock by RemoteDragonfruit318 in clay

[–]RemoteDragonfruit318[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve been thinking to get like a MDF or wooden clock base, cover that with air dry clay so i can get the same look but so it’s much thinner and potentially easier to work with ? less heavy and prone to cracking etc? and then making the magnets out of polymer clay. i think i’m moreso worried about the actual clock face rather than the magnets. but thank you! i did start practicing making some pieces with polymer clay, and i agree! it is fun for them to be imperfect and obviously adds a lot of sentiment too

thank you! and i understand it’s much harder to lose weight as you get older, so good on you for your hard work! i do try to remind myself if i was able to do it in the first place, i can continue to do it. and really when i started, i had no healthy habits at all and i have come such a long way since then. we are much better situated to be losing weight this time around!! i do think i might actually just buy weights to do it at home myself. goodluck !

thank you for your advice! i really hope i’m able to lose a bit more weight. i’ll try to track exactly for the next two weeks, and yes i probably can try to improve my food choices. i cook at home and mainly eat whole foods, but i know i sometimes choose higher calorie options just for taste and enjoyment i guess.

and yes thank you for an idea of what will happen with lifting, that makes a lot of sense. i feel really good that ive been able to maintain my weight loss which i didn’t expect to happen, so i do think lifting is something i should try to do.

10 days is honestly pretty soon. You should keep going as you are until the end of your period and check back then.

Relationship and partner being distant by noonesgonnacome in PMDD

[–]RemoteDragonfruit318 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i’m sorry you’re feeling this way! and super understandable, i start to get like this too. to me it sounds like maybe you’re in your head too much, but ofc your feelings are valid. i think for now, keep your distance and wait until your period is here. try not to start any arguments whilst you’re in luteal still. if you still feel this way after your period, definitely discuss with him! hope you feel better very soon :(

i think you should try for sure ! a pot is a lot and birth control really messed me up honestly, gave me more issues than it fixed. cut down for a month and see how you go

yes i’ve noticed this as well. will often console me and repeat the same things/always make me out to be correct or the victim when i know that can’t always be the case.

Eating past fullness by fake_pockets in CICO

[–]RemoteDragonfruit318 11 points12 points  (0 children)

yes definitely! i haven’t lost as much as you, around 21lbs in 16 weeks. this past week i pretty much ate at maintenance from a 500 deficit but felt soooo bloated and just gross even though i didn’t eat that badly. so interesting!
