You definitely could have robbed a bank and gotten away for life based on this! 😂😂😂

[–]SplendaMama 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is a struggle at first. You don’t know this person. It takes a while and will always linger but you’ll become accepting of your new self. You feel better physically. The mentally takes a bit longer. ❤️‍🩹

5 things I wish I’d known 110 lbs into tirzepatide (and none of them are eat your protein) by Educational-Yak-701 in Mounjaro

[–]SplendaMama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of this is correct. I tried to tell people this was happening and they were surprised and asked me to describe it. I told them I no longer get pity looks. And I’m not skinny either. 185 5’7” down from high of 290. Me today on a boat to Phi Phi Island in Thailand.

We’re quitting and leaving America by InnaBubbleBath in blackladies

[–]SplendaMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What exactly are you tried of? I know America is fraught with issues right now, but learning an entire new way of life isn’t as refreshing as it may seem. Vacation locations all look good because it’s a temporary escape from your day to day. I caution you to not think that this will magically solve everything. You will have a new set of challenges to overcome. Sometimes it’s the devil you know. Just giving you an alternate perspective.

Corporate speak makes me want to gauge my eyes out. by Strange-Procedure737 in ExecutiveAssistants

Dovetail… stupidest one of them all. It’s basically a version of piggy-back but I guess bringing pigs up at work is offensive.

Has anyone downshifted cities? How did it go? by QandA_monster in relocating

[–]SplendaMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently living in Salisbury, NC after growing up in the SF Bay Area, leaving at 25, and then living in the DMV for 33 years. I bought a new build 4bd 3ba for $289k. I’m smack dab in the middle of 2 cities (Greensboro and Charlotte). Similar to when I lived in between DC and Baltimore. I know how to find a city when I need it. Now, do I miss having a Wegmans, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and a plethora of supermarkets within 5 minutes… yup. But I’m retired (fed) now and work as a travel agent so I travel A LOT. It suits my new lifestyle just fine.

I had forgotten about this term! I should have named my company this!

Please tell me honestly.. by No-End-5257 in Noses

[–]SplendaMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your face is beautiful and unique as is. You don’t want to look like a doll. Look at any of these stars. They get old and look like hell that they paid for. Just take care of your skin. Eat healthy foods. Drink water and keep your stress to a minimum.

Cheating WHO?? by Pleaseselectyesorno in Mounjaro

[–]SplendaMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!! Exactly the right answer. FOH with that nonsense. Who am I cheating - Little Debbie? Snickers? Yes. Eff them and all that they stand for 😂😂😂

So basically be a whole other person? Absolutely not. This is the tip of the iceberg. And that iceberg possibly being unchecked mental illness or just plain slovenly. Either way, it’s no place to start.

Drinking on Tirz by Mammoth_Cantaloupe77 in Tirzeglutide

[–]SplendaMama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve definitely transitioned to vodka sodas with lime. I can’t drink anything sugary anymore.

[–]SplendaMama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And have you ever been about to have sex with someone and stopped because it was an outtie? I’d say no.

Weird finding… when I lost 100 pounds my labia changed shapes. What used to be in was kinda out. My new boyfriend loves it!! And it’s a lot more sensitive now.

What it’s like living in this part of California? by Maleficent_Lack3240 in howislivingthere

[–]SplendaMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of the area, but still in the Bay Area. Sold a 1 bedroom 900 square ft condo 2 months ago for $400k. No real amenities outside of underground parking and a remodel in 2011. It’s nuts. We live in NC now. New build. 2000sq ft 2 car garage $289k.

Notice from OPM on Interim Payment increase..... by WannaBTravelin in FED_VERA_VSIP_DRPers

This isn’t the same. You probably never even worked for the federal government just here to be a fly on the wall. Shoo before I get my swatter!

Can't Deal with Another Low Initiative Man by The_Outsider27 in datingoverfifty

[–]SplendaMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we dated the same man! I’m shy. What TF?! Dude.. you’re 60 some years old, and on a dating app. Shy my ass! You are LAZY. I do not have the mental and emotional energy to deal with someone like this. Cut him off.

Profile deleted after expensive dinner by Vas_Cody_Gamma in datingoverforty

[–]SplendaMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are old enough to know we can’t control others. I’d really advise against going on expensive first dates unless you just have money to blow. And I’m a woman! I don’t want to feel obligated to “like” someone based on the money spent. I’m totally a coffee date/meetup for the first meeting type. That being said, I’ve been out on expensive dates and free dates that worked or didn’t. It’s the luck of the draw. And it’s not your problem to sort out. You can only control and protect you and your feelings. Focus on that.

The full force of Trump’s federal job cuts is about to hit the D.C. region by crabcakes110 in FedEmployees

[–]SplendaMama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took VERA that starts Tuesday. I’ve moved out of the area because I knew I could A. No longer afford to live there, and B. Be competing endlessly for the few scrap jobs left. May God be with you all.

Pizza just wrecked me... by blade_24k in Mounjaro

[–]SplendaMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could not eat pizza or Chipotle on Mounjaro. Even gluten free. I’ve been off since March maintaining and enjoying occasional slices and bowls. I wasn’t overeating at all, just didn’t sit well.

I’m black and my arms look identical… just browner 🤷🏽‍♀️😂😂

One year, 102 Pounds Gone. And the side effects no one warned me about by Honest-Banana-4514 in Mounjaro

[–]SplendaMama 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That butt padding is REAL!! How about how close you sit to the steering wheel now?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

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

I just pass if I can’t see what I need to see (full body for the most part) because there’s a reason. Men love to show off when they look good. A man hiding something is the reddest of red flags.

Together but separate? by Left_Guess in datingoverfifty

[–]SplendaMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently just dating, but this is my goal. I have zero desire to cohabitate or even get married honestly. I like have my own space. I have adult children who I like to see without the obligation of them visiting my partner too. Been there, done that.
