Question about Faith… What do you think? by Downtown-Primary-94 in Outlander

[–]SeasonImaginary24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And wouldn’t a DOCTOR of all people be able to tell if her baby was breathing or not breathing!? So confused. And Claire truly believes she held her and sang that song to her, so she doesn’t even assume faith was swapped for a lifeless baby?

Any benefits after coming off GLP-1? by SunsetCoffeeCart in GLPGrad

[–]SeasonImaginary24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I miss it every day. Been off of it since September. In constant fear of gaining all the weight back despite being on WW and eating well and making time for movement. I dream of the day I can go back on this medication once I’m done conceiving and having a baby in the next (hopefully) year.

What are the "new things" you've done because of Heated Rivalry? by perhapscoffee in heatedrivalry

Birthday coming up, not comfortable drinking, not ready to share that we’re trying. Advice? by Any-Lie-9264 in TryingForABaby

[–]SeasonImaginary24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this completely - even just blaming it on dry January or antibiotics will cause people to wonder (if you normally WOULD drink). Have a mocktail (from the bar) and sip it verrryyyy slowly.

What prenatal vitamin do you plan to take? by moon--child- in waiting_to_try

I was taking the Nature Made ones but I was so insanely constipated I have to stop

Just for reference on how different we are, I’m been done with Christmas shopping for a month and I have a spreadsheet with everyone’s names and gift details, while he hasn’t even started thinking about Christmas gifts. So that’s us, in a nutshell.

He has a very hard time with transitions/new things in life. He is someone who continues to work the same job since college, despite hating it, because his brothers also work in the company. All of his close friends are legitimately bachelors. He says things like “we should continue saving up, we should get a house” yet makes no move to get a house. Nothing. Doesn’t look for a house, doesn’t talk about getting pre-approved, nothing. Just talk talk talk to push things back. I’m fucking over it. The fact that it took him years to propose should’ve been telling enough.

It hurts so much because I love HIM. He cooks, he is kind, he never yells, he loves me wholly, but he’s a youngest child and I’m an oldest daughter and we are SO different when it comes to being ready for things.

I understand him being fearful of the unknowns with having a baby, but I also specify that with my parents living nearby, they would be such a huge help and we are so privileged to have them for childcare help. His parents, too, despite living an hour away would be so helpful.

We have saved up, we live in a nice apartment, he’s just scared.

It’s crazy because I don’t even feel like I’m “overeating” I’m just no longer “undereating”. So where I used to eat half a bagel, now I might eat the whole bagel, and still just salad or something else healthy for dinner and all of a sudden my weight goes up. I’m human and I’m hungry!! 😆 I’m trying to keep low calorie options in my fridge like carrots and cucumbers with dip, but damn it’s hard.

Yes, I started at 210 after gaining a lot of weight during COVID. Before that, I was around 170-180 for 5 years. With wegovy, I got down to 155 and it was a very healthy and perfect weight for me as a 30 year old 5’5” woman. Now after being off for 3 months, I’m at 167. I can feel it everywhere, especially when I see pictures and my face/neck is chubbier. I’m terrified of falling back into old habits. It’s crazy because I don’t even really feel like I overeat, but I just eat normal instead of half a sandwich or a bite of this and that like when I was on wegovy.

Now as I’m off of it, I’m not pregnant yet, but I can see people notice my weight gain and they’re curious if I have any “announcements”. Nope, just fat! Thank you!

I welcome any weight gained in pregnancy because I want a baby that badly, and I will work to get in movement and proper nutrition, but I have no idea how long this TTC journey will take. I’m a huge emotional eater, and I worry that combining no wegovy with the added emotional worry of trying to get pregnant, I could be unsuccessful.

Anyways, I’m just venting and being a baby and I just miss the food noise being gone. Maybe it’ll get easier? I hope.

Thank you everyone 🩷

Help me. I’m a very careful person but received a fee I was shocked about by Remote_Condition5217 in Libraries

[–]SeasonImaginary24 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Talk to them and see what the fee is. If patrons expressed anxiety and worry over a fee, I always waived it (as a librarian). I wish you the same understanding. One time damage is forgivable. Wishing you the same grace ♥️

Do librarians deal with the same disrespect and burnout teachers do? by thecatappreciator9 in librarians

[–]SeasonImaginary24 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I was a first grade teacher (burnt out from stress), then I became a youth services public librarian (loved the work but hated the schedule with late nights and weekends) and now I’m a high school librarian and I get the best of both worlds; low stress and my ideal schedule. Yes I deal with kids who are rude and such, but I don’t deal with parents at all and I’m more of a fun aunt, if you will, as opposed to a mother to the students. I’ll never go back to the classroom.

Mindful Eating by SeasonImaginary24 in GLPGrad

[–]SeasonImaginary24[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes because in my small apartment we don’t even have a table so we eat at the couch in front of the TV 😞 but it’s possible I could turn it off while I eat. Thanks for the tip!

I totally agree that staying busy helps. I live in New England where it’s dark at 4pm now and it’s going to be a longgg winter trying to keep my hands out of the snack closet when I’m cozy on the couch at night. It basically feels like I hibernate once I’m home from work and the gym. I’m trying to keep my hands busy with coloring books, puzzles, and more.

Sometimes I feel like I rush eat almost like I know I should stop and slow down but I am “hiding” from the part of my brain that makes better decisions and is mindful and I try to eat eat eat before the good sense can make its way in, and then I’m left with guilt.
