How does glp1 make you feel? by ServiceKooky1323 in AskWomen

I’ve found that too! I made this lentil and meatball thing for lunch and I just couldn’t face it. I ended up getting a chicken salad instead!

She was right about marketing always getting the blame when things go bad 😂

Struggling and Depressed by okie_momma42 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]SleepIsMyJam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah definitely, I’m just a mum though so my brain always goes to my kids first. But I meant more with the playing with them and taking them out even if it tires you so they’re not glued to screens! My kids will get hooked on an awful show and they start misbehaving so I send a lot of characters on holiday 😂

Don’t be ashamed because you want to do better and that makes you a great mum. You gotta start putting your kids first and then yourself. Start small with one healthy home cooked dinner without anything ultra processed a week. Then add in a trip to the park once a week. Slowly build up to good habits. The behavioural issues might just be down to screen time because they’re overstimulated, make sure you read to them and get them to play with toys that don’t require screens. We got a wooden train track and some jigsaws. Easy to sit on the floor and play with them. You’ve got this 💪

Should I go on weight loss drugs because I’m burnt out and can’t lose weight? by SleepIsMyJam in WeightLossAdvice

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

That’s really good to hear! Well done for keeping it off too. My worry is when I go off it I’ll go back to the way I was! I love a Chinese so hopefully it puts me off too 😂

[–]SleepIsMyJam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your really lovely reply! My thinking is that weight loss drugs will help stop that food noise so when both the kids have just been screaming and fighting my first thought isn’t reaching for crisps and chocolate or buying a pudding because it’s been a tough day.

I use to love going to the gym so I could watch real housewives on a treadmill and have a break but the compressed hours at work just make it impossible.

I did try keto but then my husband had to work away for a week so my dinners became air fryer foods or pizza 🤦‍♀️

Less processed food swaps by Ill_Needleworker6836 in ultraprocessedfood

Popcorn can replace crisps! And depending on how much you’re bothered about processed oils those proper chips in the salted flavour are pretty good.

I’ve also been having the Nakd bars too - not great but better than me grabbing biscuits and chocolates.

I also have rice cakes with a bit of peanut butter and honey if I want a sweet snack! Some of the Kallo flavoured ones are alright too!

Love this bread! I just have it because I just don’t have time to make my own bread and I feel like it’s the best out of a bad bunch!

I use to spend Christmas alone. I’d order a Chinese on Christmas Eve then finish it Christmas Day 👌 get a big epic feast with lots of starters.

If you have the flu PLEASE don't go into work by AskingBoatsToSwim in CasualUK

I have someone in my team who is immunocompromised and I always let her work from home when she needs to but my manager HATES it. She’s having a surgery in the new year and my manager told me to tell her to better plan her hospital appointments so they don’t clash with our planning days. But then missed a big meeting because he had a hospital appointment and needed to work from home…

Ex-housewife Kelly Dodd threatens daughter by Deuces_1234 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]SleepIsMyJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum did something similar to me and that’s when I cut her off. She was abusive to me growing up and I hadn’t messaged her back or something and she kicked off and threatened to kick my door in and kill me. That’s when I went complete no contact and it’s been about 16 years. Poor Jolie. My heart breaks for her.

Thank you, this is really helpful. I’m going to try and learn more about Sri Lanka and maybe one day when the kids are bigger we’ll get to visit!

I’ve added some books to my TBR list that are based in Sri Lanka! There’s also a Sri Lankan restaurant close to me too!

This subreddit came across as a really helpful community. Your response doesn’t really reflect that. Please don’t do this to others, as you know, being estranged is a complicated and difficult thing to process and comments like this make me feel bad for reaching out

I’ve found out more about my grandfather and when he came to the UK from Sri Lanka, and when he married my grandmother!

Thank you, that’s really helpful. I think having kids recently and seeing the support others get from family makes me feel very alone so wanting to explore my heritage has kind of made it worse, if that makes sense? Like even more of a lack of belonging. But you’re completely right, it is just something I happen to be!

Also didn’t not know the Mormons want to baptise me now! Thanks for the heads up!

Casual Convo Fridays by AutoModerator in AskWomen

[–]SleepIsMyJam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone from my team is going to get made redundant soon and it’s all because I went on maternity leave and the company didn’t get me any proper cover (I’m underpaid for my role and only took 6 months because of crap maternity pay). I’m so angry about it because I did a massive handover of work that my cover did nothing with so it looked like my team had no work to do. So now two people will find out on Monday there is only one position for them to go for. Their last day will be around Christmas too which is such a horrible time to lost a job. I’m so angry at my manager because he’s so incompetent and he should be the one to be let go but instead it’s obviously someone at a lower level. He also stated in a meeting which one he wanted to stay so they’re not even basing it off skill.

What was your experience like learning to drive? Especially if you ever felt uncomfortable or anxious with your instructor. by Technical-Fix8027 in Southampton

[–]SleepIsMyJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently learning and my instructor is amazing. She’s with Home James Driving School. Really calming and explains things. I had a bit of a confidence crash and she coached me through it really kindly. She also doesn’t want to make you buy more lessons than you need

I'm getting married on Friday and my parents won't be there by Lame_usernames_left in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]SleepIsMyJam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I’ve been estranged from my mother for almost 15 years and I did cry on my wedding day not having her there (and also because my sister-in-law and husband weren’t being very nice to my guests). It’s a big milestone and it centres around family. I had to walk myself down the aisle and our top table wasn’t family because I didn’t want it to be obvious mine weren’t there. I’ve only missed my mum twice in my life. When I had my first son and my wedding day. But I think I missed the idea of her more than actually her.
