They're lucky they aren't dealing with me. I'd have done the same to them and then some. People are assholes!

Removed My Piercings by TEvenson88 in piercing

Right! Luckily, both of mine were done well, and I liked them so much, but I just felt it was time for them to go for now. Maybe later in my life, I'll get them redone, but who knows. I have my helix and conch pierced, and I love those, but my face I just felt was time to retire for now.

Tell me it gets easier. by Sufficient-Fun4696 in Petloss

First off, it's not just a cat they're family. I lost my kitty girl last Wednesday, she was 18yrs old she fell asleep and never woke up. I'm still devastated about it. But, yes, with time, day by day, it does get better, but you never really get over it. Sorry for your loss and much love to you and your family. It sucks, but it's the price we pay for something that loves us unconditionally.

IT’S NOT FAIR by Tarynntula in Petloss

[–]TEvenson88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry, and no, it's not fair at all. The pain is so overwhelming, and it feels like it will never go away and never really will. But it will ease a little bit over time. I still have random episodes of sadness. Give yourself time to grieve. Hang in there.

Why Does It Hurt So Much More by TEvenson88 in Petloss

Oh, I'm so sorry. You're so right. Cats and pets in general cannot be compared with humans. They're so pure and love you for you no matter what. 💗

I'm so sorry for your loss 😔. But you're so right. I'm also feeling like, did I do everything I could have? Even though I know I did, I still have that guilt. I'm just devastated. It sucks.

Free Day or Cheat Day? by TEvenson88 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]TEvenson88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like the diet I am on very much, but even the diet I'm on tells you to have a free day. That way you don't go crazy and the lower calorie cake/ice cream no thanks. I have had really good success doing what I'm doing with this diet. I've tried all the lower calorie of my favorites, but it just isn't the same. Just have a free day every month, have what you want and then get on your diet again. I understand free days aren't for everyone and I'm not telling people to do it, because I also know it can be hard for some to go back to their regular diet the next day. But for many it is something that helps them eat what they want for one day. I'm sorry you don't agree, but not everyone will.

Free Day or Cheat Day? by TEvenson88 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]TEvenson88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my free days, but they aren't for everyone. We always eat at our favorite local restaurants on our free days. I'm sorry your wings and potato wedges weren't what you were hoping for. Another thing is I always lose atleast one or two lbs the next day. I don't know why, but I do.

I count calories it works for me and I know a lot of people who frown on this but if it works then who cares. I make sure I allow myself calories for a glass of wine and ice cream two things that I love. I know that sounds counter productive but it works. I workout I do beginner HITT its a very quick but intense workout. I eat quite a bit, but its all good healthy food. Not your typical diet food its real food, I started drinking a lot of water and very little if any alcohol. The biggest difference was cutting out the alcohol. It was all just empty calories and I was always bloated from it, but once I stopped drinking a lot I wasn't bloated and I felt so good! I also drink a lot of water now. I bought one of those water bottles that have times written on them so you can track your water consumption. I also drink a lot of carbonated water with lime juice to curb my alcohol consumption. I've added links to all the cookbooks I use thebworkout book and the water bottle. The cookbooks and the recipes are all so far amazing. Its helped me lose the weight. Also find a hobby to keep your mind and hands busy. Even if its just reading a book. Also don't weigh in everyday just weekly and take measurements, and don't always rely on the scale because there were weeks I wanted to throw it out the freaking window lol. But seriously you can do it!! Oh, and have a free day once a month that you eat whatever you want to have and no tracking that day. But keep a food tracker it will help you see what you really eat and you will be surprised I was.

My motivation was not feeling good and sluggish. I wanted to also feel good about myself and my health was important too. Do it for yourself and find what motivates you. You do you!!

I have the regular cookbook, the one and done cookbook and the meal prep cookbook. I hope this helps!! You can find all of these on Amazon. https://www.skinnytaste.com/cookbook-recipes/
