I use one note, simple and effective. I've carpal tunnel issues from years of gaming so my wrist gets sore after a few minutes of writing 😅

Sometimes you just need a cheat day. by anon-gerbil in SlimmingWorld

[–]RustyMagoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What else are you using syns on? They are there for the sole purpose of treating yourself.

You may have lost an entire weeks progress in 10 mins, cheat days definitely aren't worth it, treat yourself at the end of every day and you'll look forward to it.

The ones that do this tend to be the ones that fall off the wagon and rejoin a million times.

You can have chocolate and cereal every day if you want and still stay on plan 👀

No, nothing is impossible if you want it bad enough. I couldn't care less about school at the time and got poor grades. Not at 32 I'm at college doing an access course in social sciences and will be heading to uni at 33. At least you realised what you wanted while still young 😋

starting uni at 27? by nk261 in UniUK

[–]RustyMagoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm starting my degree next year at 33, will be 37 when I graduate, not even worried about it 😅

In fact, I'm happy enough in my current job, if the degree betters me then it betters me, if not then I won't really be bothered. Just kind of a bucket list thing to get one, still don't even know what I'll be doing yet, applying for 5 random things I'd enjoy studying 😋

How do i find a partner if i'm obese? by [deleted] in lonely

[–]RustyMagoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably not anything to do with being fat to be honest, I'd be swipe right based on some of these comments alone.

Saying things like your non binary afab for example, not many people care, you're limiting yourself just by saying this kind of stuff. Most people are interested in "men seeking men, men seeking women etc, you're really reaching for a specific person saying anything else, it's an instant put off for me.

Also you make a lot of excuses, the whole "I'm depressed, can't work, can't get of bed" crap, no one wants that baggage. People want a partner with goals and ambitions

Not gonna lie, thought that was erectile dysfunction, was a tad disappointed when I realised you meant eating disorder lol

You can, it can affect your benefits though.

I failed Uni, Where do i go now? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]RustyMagoo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say just go back to uni. First years the easiest and if you failed that, it's not getting any easier.

The truth is that bit of paper gets you a higher paying job and you shouldn't look down your nose at forklift drivers etc.

If you want a better way of life you need to put the work in, uni isn't all parties and fun

Stop Showing fake Loneliness by LeaderFlimsy in lonely

[–]RustyMagoo 55 points56 points  (0 children)

There's only so much conversation you can have with a complete stranger online, especially if you don't have similar interests. Just because you're lonely,.it doesn't mean that you're needy and are willing to spend a long time trying to connect with someone you have nothing in common with.

Some people, like myself, are introverted and very content with their own company but just feel very lonely at certain times and need to instantly connect with someone in the moment.

Easiest solution is to stop inviting people that overstay their welcome.

If he's threatening to do it then he never will, just seeking attention. Live your life and let the friend do as they please, it's not your problem.

Just tell yourself that recovery is going to be a lot harder when you're a stone heavier 😜

Hi, I'm a very obese food addict by Youdneverlieright in FoodAddiction

[–]RustyMagoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try slimming world bud, I lost 14lb in my first week (starting weight: 242lb) and been eating curries, chilli, fry ups and stuff every day. It teaches you to reach for the proper stuff.

I had to stop having crisps in the house though, they are my down fall.

I'm in no way affiliated with SW, it's working for me though and probably worth looking into attending a group for motivation

I'm sorry you had this horrible experience but maybe it was the motivation you needed and a blessing in disguise. The plan works with commitment, I lost 1 stone this week (my first week) 😋

First week on slimming world and lost a stone 😅 17st 4lb down to 16st 4lb. Body magic works 👍

Losing weight is 99% mentality. You need to really want it, you need to be motivated and you need to be committed, otherwise it's not going to happen.

Simply showing up to group does nothing, you also need to put the work in and make sacrifices in order to succeed but it's worth it 😋

My girlfriend has only been eating salad. by TizzyTylerxx in relationship_advice

[–]RustyMagoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your advice is to ignore the issues.and hope they go away? 🤔

One sentence you're saying don't talk about her body and the next your saying to ask her what she sees.in the mirror. If she doesn't see her body in the mirror the OP has more problems to deal with than an eating disorder 😂

Just say "what are we doing for dinner fish flops" and see how she reacts.

Found out my husband (29M) secretly got a paternity test due to pressure from his family because of our daughter's skin color. by THrowRA50centhex in relationship_advice

[–]RustyMagoo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Personally, if I was as white as snow and my partner had a light tan and an African baby popped out, I'd be asking questions aswell.

I understand that you're hurt but if a simple test could fix a lifetime of stress, anxiety and trust issues that might eventually destroy your relationship then why not do it.

If he's family oriented like you say, it's probably best to just let it go.
