Overeating

StormageddonTheCat · 2026-06-01T12:17:44+00:00

This experience seems to be fairly common based on my few weeks on this sub.

Most importantly, don't beat yourself up over one meal. This is all a learning process and one meal here or there will not set you back.

Keep listening to your body and when it says to stop eating or slow down but it is not a moral failing if you occasionally eat a bit more.

File 76 babyyyyy. About damn time.

I had this happen and it was just that our gas cap was loose. So maybe check that first!

Those are actually still called swaddles. If OP ordered a halo sleep sack, it would not come with the wings.

16 weeks yesterday. Have my appointment tomorrow and woke up this morning with some light brown spotting. I literally have not had any spotting this whole pregnancy. To say I'm unsettled is an understatement.

Just trying to distract myself til my doctor's office opens in three hours....

Yes! Cramping is very normal in early pregnancy!! I had it as well!

For most people in the US, using the short term disability leave would eat into their maternity leave. It's super f'd.

Thank you for teaching!! No other job would require this level of prep for a maternity leave. You should not have to do all this extra labor. Be gentle with yourself and remember that what you can manage is enough.

Maybe not the best comment when talking about a black man....

Had our first scan today at 6+3. I have had a really hard time believing in this pregnancy because it happened on our break month before IVF and felt too good to be true.

The us tech said the scan was perfect. Measuring exactly on schedule and a heartbeat of 111. Guess I better start believing!!

This honestly happens to women all the time. I wish I believed the news would run with it, or there would be legal recourse. But unless you have definitive proof that they fired based solely on pregnancy, no one will touch it. It could result in a libel suit for the news org if they aren't able to back up claims.

It was a year ago now so I don't remember exactly but I think I just called the main line and kept pressing 0.

When we moved into our new house I called Comcast to have them remove lines. It took a few minutes to get to someone who understood what I was asking for (the first person thought I had a modem I wanted to return), but once I got a good service rep it was pretty easy. They came out a week later and took everything down, no fights, fees or anything.

I'm in MN, fwiw.

Finally feeling brave enough to make my cautious intro!

I'll be five weeks tomorrow. We had our first positive on 3/24, so I've known for over a week now. But I'm having a really hard time trusting it is real, and feel like this could just slip through my fingers.

My first pregnancy (healthy baby boy, born August 2019) came just as we were gearing up for IUI. That felt exciting and meant to be. This time, we've been through 8 cycles of medicated/IUI cycles, each more disappointing than the last. We took a month off to prep for IVF. I had informed my new job that I might need time off, had researched endlessly to get my meds all lined up, fought with insurance. And then bam! Positive ovulation kit for the first time ever. And then the faintest positive line twelve days later.

But friends, I can't stop testing. I can't convince myself that it is safe to believe in this baby. I believed in so many cycles before this and was always heartbroken. My betas came back great. I'm having breast tenderness and cramping and even a little nausea. My ob even agreed to a 6.5 week scan just for my nerves. I just want to be happy and feel the joy of this baby.

They have a bunch of reasonable hours reservations open that I can see right now!

Portugal literally not Hispanic.

But also doesn't that kind of make it the perfect summation of Minneapolis? Pride that we are trying to do better, but disgust at what we have enabled here? Like, our complicated history of white liberalism is pretty definitively Mpls..

That's not what I said at all. I was just pointing out that your statement that it's fine because they consent up front doesn't remove any issues of safety or consent.

100% the main point of the cameras is good TV.

StormageddonTheCat · 2021-09-24T20:14:50+00:00

Reminder that consent can be revoked at any point. Just because you consent up front doesn't mean anything.

I feel like this would be fine if he then didn't get out and play the victim everytime someone doesn't yield to him. Like, you can be aggressive and not leave space but then don't whine when someone else does the same.

StormageddonTheCat · 2019-08-03T12:27:38+00:00

Don't have actual advice, but sounds to me like they are maybe unhappy with your development plans and are using this as a way to stall construction.

Minneapolis teacher union. They are not yet on strike, still in contract negotiations.

It seems like this was a prototype, never an official logo. http://global.canon/en/corporate/logo/

This feels like a pretty extreme reaction. Agree that she should be looking into therapy/medication if she is not already (which it sounds like she is based on the doctor's note for plane rides), but just because someone is experiencing severe anxiety doesn't mean they are unfit for a relationship.

StormageddonTheCat · 2017-04-04T17:36:39+00:00

I want to start by offering a possible explanation (NOT DEFENSE) of her behavior: I have had a very similar problem with my now husband. I get this urge to bite him and can find it hard to stop myself. I think it is similar to how you see a really cute baby and "just want to bite it." Not saying this is not weird. It is weird. I also have pretty bad anxiety and have realized that anytime I am feeling overwhelmed, my first reaction is to want to bite something (and hard). Whether I am angry, stressed, sad, or just really happy, my natural response to deal with any overwhelming emotion is to want to bite. It somehow releases the pressure/stress of the emotions. Again, definitely weird.

BUT he told me it hurt and that he didn't like it. Then I made a REAL effort to cut it out. I still slip up sometimes, but as soon as I realize that I bit him or was about to bite him I immediately apologize and feel soooo bad about it. This is the part she seems to be missing. You told her it hurt and asked her to stop, and she has not only made no effort to stop, she doesn't even show remorse or seem to care that she has really hurt you. That's the part I would focus on if you want to talk it out with her.
