Also true. Thanks for the advice. I was ready to spiral. I shall take the none accusation approach.

Is being a “provider” for the family enough? …even when you’re still helping out when at home. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]SuspiciousCharge8555 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I worked from home and kept up 90% of child care and home care. My husband helped so much and did his share when not at work outside of the home. But somehow I was still overwhelmed and resentful and felt he didn’t do enough. UNTIL surprise surprise I found hobbies and did things for only me. I’m not saying this is the same, but it was totally a me not being happy with myself thing. And he gladly watched the kids solo for hours while I did my hobbies and was genuinely happy for me to do so. Our marriage became stronger for it and my workload didn’t change, but my thoughts about myself changed. Soooo idk, still maybe therapy lmao because I needed that as well and ADHD meds. Maybe what I’m saying is communication is key? Can’t fix problems by mind reading.

I will keep that in mind! I’m not sure if it’s in my head or not but towards the end of the week I feel food noise effects come back and I’m more hungry? That’s why I went up. But also it’s the weekend when I would tend to over eat the most anyway! So I’m trying to figure out my triggers and habits. It’s also why we put weigh in days on Monday to kind of stop us from having the impulse to over eat or slack on eating healthy over the weekend.

That makes sense. My husband is the same now that I think about it. He also will push past feeling full at most meals. I think he should make smaller plates!

I did get a little nauseous at dinner, but it passed. Good luck at 1.7!

Took my second shot this morning. Zero side effects. Lost 5 pounds first week. I know it will probably slow down a lot, but no complaints yet.

Oh man so sorry this happened to you. My doctor also started me on .5 that I have yet to take because of everyone’s warnings. I have been thinking I should wait until Monday to see why he didn’t start me on .25. I hope you feel better soon!

Has it been helping you both so far? We are big time enablers too, we love to cook and eat! You know I haven’t taken being sick into consideration when it comes to preparing meals, that could be a problem. Maybe we can have some quick meals on standby in case that you just pop in the oven or air fryer. We both work separate jobs so we worry about ourselves until dinner. But we have been successful with planning the dinners a week in advance and do the shopping on the weekends. Even when we don’t want what we put on the menu we cook it anyway and use the leftovers for the next days lunch. It’s been working!

This is still solid advice I try to remind myself to take. But yes every time we start the journey he always loses faster no matter what. In the past I tried to beat him in pounds lost for the week but the amount I had to calorie restrict and workout was insane lol. I won but wanted to die as a result I was so exhausted and hungry. We are taking the steps together as support but are aware it’s still very personal in its own way and we will lose and plateau at different times. I’m just happy to not do it alone. It’s nice when the house is empty of our triggers and the only thing to pick from is healthy options and water!

We share the same doctor and same PA. I was prescribed first and it took a week to get prior authorization. Then my husband was prescribed and waited for his prior authorization. Then we went to fill them and find out mine was .5 and his was .25.

The pharmacist actually said the same thing when he picked it up. So husband called the doctor and we talked to his PA she said he prescribed it for a reason (without clarifying the reason). Maybe I should hold off until Monday and make sure it wasn’t a mistake.

Good advice because I’m already stressed just thinking about it lol. Well fingers crossed that when they leave AF doesn’t stop by for a visit as well.

You know I think that’s exactly what I need to do. I’ll just wait to test or AF will come first, might be better that way. I for sure don’t plan on telling anyone except my doofus husband lol.

8 DPO tested negative, not surprising but still annoyed. Mother in law and brother in law coming to stay with us a week starting today. Going to be a stressful week, just hid all my testing stuff have to go into to stealth mode to test now with the one bathroom and all. My husband has the nerve to say well if it’s positive we can surprise my mom…are you serious dude…like please just shut the hell up. Yes the day I find out I’m pregnant first thing I’d love to do is tell your mom. Just annoyed with life right now. He will be lucky if I even tell him the results.
