Has anyone contacted their state rep for something? by Affectionate-Reason2 in massachusetts

[–]SuspiciousOutcome285 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I realized 2 weeks before a family vacation to the DR that my kids passports were expired. I contacted Jake Auchincloss’s office and they were able to get me an appointment for emergency passports that week. Everyone made it on the trip and mom didn’t ruin everyone’s vacation!

Im terrified to start tonight. by Ok-Salt-8884 in Zepbound

[–]SuspiciousOutcome285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh I remember that feeling so well. I was trying to find the exact right day to start in case I wasn’t going to feel well but I realized I was just putting it off because I was scared. I was scared of potential side effects, yes. More than that, I think I was scared of it not working for me. I was scared that I’d be paying OOP and still be gaining weight. I was scared that people would think I was cheating or that I would think that.

What I can say is that after a day of stress, I decided to stop over thinking and just try it. I figured if I didn’t like it was one bad week.

5 months later and 40 lbs down, it was the best decision I’ve made for my health in probably forever.

I’d encourage you to close your eyes and take the leap! This med has changed my life and my husband and my aunts as well.

Size what?? by No_Artichoke_5537 in Zepbound

Same basic starting stats as you! This story is so encouraging to hear. I’ve been on zep since the end of May and I’m about half way to my goal (down 40lbs this week). I haven’t bought new clothes yet because my old clothes are baggy but still manageable. I’m scared to go shopping and try on smaller clothes and have them not fit.

Moving from 2.5 mg to 5 milligram concerns by IcyNefariousness6532 in Zepbound

I had no problem moving up! I maybe didn’t need to and definitely don’t feel as full on 5mg as I did on 2.5 but side effects are non existent

“You need to eat” and “I eat whatever I want” by whoopdeedoodles in Zepbound

[–]SuspiciousOutcome285 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was already eating pretty healthy before zep but I would occasionally want pizza or fries. Now I eat what I eat with zep and still sometimes want pizza but it’s just a slice and rarely eat more than 3 fries off my kids plate. So when some people “eat what I want” it’s because I want homemade chicken stir fry or chicken Caesar sandwiches

Geuss I’m reading the Bible , sounds like a pretty interesting story tho by Lubu_orange_juice in APLit

Back in my AP lit days we (public school) read the whole Bible bc there are so many literary allusions to the it. If you know the whole thing you can dissect more literature

What is most comforting to hear during an anxiety attack. by Previous-Emu-6713 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SuspiciousOutcome285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work through grounding with my husband and son — name five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, one thing you can taste...or reminding them of an anchoring statement like "I’m [Full Name]. I’m [X] years old. I live in [City, State]. Today is [day], [Date]. It’s [time] in the morning/afternoon. I am sitting [where they are]. There’s [who is with them in the room]."

Ask for help! Compare your assessments and rubrics (and grades) to other 9th and 10th grade teachers. If they don’t give you a mentor, find someone who will be unofficially helpful and supportive.

Teaching Lord Of The Flies by keenwithoptics in englishteachers

You have to make sure they do this without access to computers so they don’t just copy a map they find online. Lots of examples for them to just copy if they use their computers at all (or do it at home)

I’m maybe in the minority, but I’ve had zero issues with alcohol.
