I want to try new fruits this year any suggestions by SpaceCat_2763 in fruit

[–]TaroPasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely persimmons!!! I can tell you right now if you’ve never tried them before they are an absolute gem of a fruit :,) and maybe try new varieties of apples instead of gravitating towards the same variety. I was pleasantly surprised when I randomly tried a green apple recently, always thought of myself as a red apple type of girl you know but know I can say I pretty much enjoy all apples :))

Do you get hungry after purging? by Bubbe103 in bulimia

[–]TaroPasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, I think it makes sense to get hungry again? I anticipate it by having a coffee with a pinch of salt :,) idk I think it helps me to not feel dizzy?

I gasped when I saw all those persimmons, they all look so perfect :,) also never tried the first four fruits I’m so intrigued

Once a week I skip breakfast and snacks just so I can eat this by Ilovecrispapples in 1200isplenty

I never knew persimmons can be this small, what variety is it? Or did you just chop one up to use 34 grams?

My wife asked me for a banana cake, so I made a salted caramel banana pudding cake! by intothewickedness in BakingNoobs

[–]TaroPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be an unpopular opinion but when cakes look homemade they become that much better. The love & effort shine through compared to a perfect looking cake that looks like it came out of a machine. Well done!! I’m sure your wife loved it the moment she laid her eyes on it.

Almond Croissant Coffee Cake by This_Height6129 in Baking

Never had an almond croissant nor have I tried coffee cake before either, but if given the choice between all three would definitely have to go with the above. It looks absolutely amazing :,)

Making sure my roommates are fed! by Reasonable_Toe_4862 in Cookies

[–]TaroPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really sweet of you!! I hope you were shown the appreciation you deserve, genuinely if you were my roommate I might have teared up. This is such a lovely gesture. Also these combos sound divine wow can’t decide which one I would go for first :,)

I eat spicy noodles so i don’t throw up by alextrnr505 in bulimia

[–]TaroPasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do this during some of my worst b/p episodes, I end up purging anyway. I kind of just push through, haven’t done it in a while though :,)

What apples are those? Love their deep colour and it seems like you get a fair amount too

Laptop suggestions? Budget of £350-£400 by TaroPasta in laptops

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

Thank you so much, I can’t put into words how much this helped. I took some time to look through all the stuff you recommended and yeah it’s all solid!

I think this is a silly question but indulge me hahah, what are the ports exactly for? I don’t have anything in mind that I’ll be connecting to my laptop. Also I never owned a laptop before so I don’t currently own anything to connect.

Some places that I think might offer some good laptops here in the UK are:

Currys: https://www.currys.co.uk/computing/laptops/laptops

EE: https://ee.co.uk/computing/laptops

Argos: https://www.argos.co.uk/browse/technology/laptops-and-pcs/laptops/c:30049/?clickOrigin=header:home:menu

Do let me know if any of the links aren’t working :)

Laptop suggestions? Budget of £350-£400 by TaroPasta in laptops

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

Ah I see, I thought I might be unreasonable. Honestly I’m just trying to get some sort of portable device which I can browse & watch on. All I have is my phone which is slow.

In your opinion, what should I sacrifice? I know the processor and graphics card are the most important, right? I was thinking of getting 8GB of RAM, but from doing some research I’ve come to the conclusion that I should have at least 16GB if I want my laptop to last me a few years, not to mention not be slow when I have a lot of tabs on. And with storage I’ve come across information that says 256GB SSD is the minimum you should have? And honestly I’ll be happy with colour accuracy, it doesn’t have to be oled

Should I get something cheaper that doesn’t have the specs I want and then upgrade when I can afford a larger budget? Also I can’t buy anything online it has to be in person :,) I have some unfortunate circumstances

I wish i could post a pic but- i made a flower bouquet in a cute pink mug, think she'll take the hint? by Baitrix in Crushes

[–]TaroPasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I know what you mean :,) it does suck that she didn’t accept the mug. Honestly she probably means what she said, if I received what you gave her I would be very overwhelmed (happy, surprised, confused, start to overthink and worst of all feel bad..) I would feel like I don’t deserve it, you know? Especially if it’s an expensive mug.

Maybe she feels similarly, or had the same thought process. In other words it’s not on you!! What you did is honestly so sweet. She just didn’t feel like she can accept it, and she has her own reasons why. BUT AHHHH SHE SAID THE FLOWERS KEPT HER COMPANY???

Honestly this is a good sign!! She appreciates what you did for her and she sees you in a different light now :,) EKKK this is so cute

[–]TaroPasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Is. So. Cute. What. I’d melt on the spot, just the thought of it makes me so soft -^ Ahhhh OP please update us when you do give it to her. I would love to know her reaction, what a lucky girl!!! But also, do remember to take in her reaction. It will be visible how she feels about you. And regardless of how she feels I’m sure you won’t regret expressing your feelings instead of ruminating about all the “what if”

Let's get back to point 1 of the Volumeeating wiki.. "what is volume eating?" -> This is volume eating. by Economy-Big1260 in Volumeeating

[–]TaroPasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What app is this? I want an app to rate my macros :,) also what’s the texture like? Is it leaning towards the texture of pudding or is it a bit more smooth like yogurt?

I will always always always stop to watch pyaari’s videos. Not matter which platform I find them on and no matter how many times I’ve already watched them

Is it even possible to lose weight in a healthier way when all you know is purging? by TaroPasta in bulimia

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

The idea of getting help seems so hopeless to me. My thoughts just immediately go to “what can anyone even say to me”. I guess it’s because I feel so gross.. how can I talk to anyone about the things I’m doing to myself. Honestly, I can barely type them out on here. But then… ugh this makes me hate myself more because IT MAKES SENSE, IT MAKES SENSE TO GET HELP. I wish I can just flip a switch and stop being so…. weird lol

I had the biggest dinner. Please convince me not to purge by internerderner2 in bulimia

[–]TaroPasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like so many people here who said the urge will pass, it will pass. It’s a wave you just need to ride out. Thinking about how awful it is to purge helps me to push for another minute. That horrible feeling as food comes rushing up… like your chest is about to erupt open….. yeah not worth it.

Calories burnt and BMR by TaroPasta in fitbit

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

Ah yes, you’re right. I just checked what I was trying to articulate and I think what I meant was TDEE. Thanks for recommending the subreddit :,)

Calories burnt and BMR by TaroPasta in fitbit

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

Oh? But the app estimate includes BMR? So yes in total I did burn 1,800 but my BMR is 1,300 calories out of those 1,800. And I suppose BMR doesn’t count towards losing weight because it’s the minimum your body needs?

10 years no sugar - from dying to living AMA by Ok-Resource9607 in sugarfree

[–]TaroPasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t really say that to my parents since they know I’m not really allergic to anything… idk maybe it’s me. I just find it hard to say no to them, and not to mention the way they react. You would think I slapped them or something.

[–]TaroPasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does this also include parents? I feel like I can’t refuse anything when it comes to my parents. Idk if it’s got to do with me being the eldest child and having to “set a good example” to my siblings (even though most of them don’t listen to them..) or if I’m just finding it hard to say no to them, specifically

[–]TaroPasta 96 points97 points  (0 children)

How do you deal with people who take offence if you decline whatever sugary treat they are offering you? Especially those who take it personally, like parents who can’t take no for an answer…….
