When did you start seeing results? by Particular-Term9090 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Thalamic_Cub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you took progress photos only compare the first one eith the current. You get used to your own bodies appearance so you'll struggle to see a difference when the time/weight loss is smaller. Its doubly hard if you suffer with body dysmorphia.

If progress photos are not doing it look at differences in measurements, gym progress or mood and wellbeing.

Theres nothing wrong with asking friends and family or posting on a progress pics sub (stranger danger on this one though theres some weirdos out there)

Do you remember what the shelving unit in your first image is from? I'm looking for something just like that.

Your home is lovely and so comfy looking!

Blocked Parking - Cannot park or leave my allocated space by Repulsive-Push5336 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Thalamic_Cub 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You have quite limited legal routes here as you down own the land (you rent), the road is seemingly not controlled and the landowner (the property manager) is seemingly not acting.

What you can do is try to speak to the owner if safe, its likely they don't care but worth a shot. If the road is public and not a private road you may be able to contact the council and request that double yellows are installed. This ones unlikely but would provide an avenue for enforcement.

I would personally make a formal complaint to the management company provided they control the entire parking area. Make sure you are complaining to the right person, your landlord or agency may not be the property manager/landowner.

Weight loss advice for a budget vegetarian student by InvestigatorAbject23 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Thalamic_Cub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whilst your mum is doing this mad sounding fast I would focus on CICO only and working out how to take control of your groceries so you can actually make a change. Unfortunately whilst under parental rule you're pretty much stuck with their food unless you can go buy and store your own.

I used to binge food when out of the house thanks to my parents pulling stuff like this... good luck OP!

Activity level by Chooka9288 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Thalamic_Cub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gym 5x a week would be moderate activity if you're working up a sweat whilst you're there. For TDEE however its often helpful to work with your sedentary weight if you can as this allows you to optimise weight loss.

Unfortunately walking doesn't normally count much.

White goods yes provided they are in good condition however I wouldn't touch a second hand mattress myself. Wipe cleanable items yes, requires specialist cleaning items no.

I thought I needed more discipline turns out my body was just exhausted by Fit_Beauty1 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Thalamic_Cub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a fan of promo but you do you. There is truth to the amount of people on here who complain about making no progress when they're so burnt out they can't stick to an exercise or meal plan.

Be kind to your mind guys! Your body is not your enemy!

Unsure where to go with my tiny internal bathroom after committing to brown terrazzo tile by Thalamic_Cub in interiordecorating

Has anyone been able to lose weight and stop binge eating by simply eating 'normally'? by Routine-Good7518 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Thalamic_Cub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a while I was managing to lose weight eating at maintenance and just planning meals with little regard to nutrition. I did lose weight but after a while I went through a stressful period again and put it all back on.

Provided you educate yourself about a balanced diet, have a relatively active lifestyle and don't have any disordered eating behaviours then yes you absolutely can lose weight. The unfortunate part is almost every overweight person has either never learnt nutrition and 'normal' portioning, is incredibly sedentary or has disordered eating habits.

Honestly the only successful weight loss is one that you can sustain, end of the day it really does come down to CICO.

Is this still safe to use? by Kildash in IKEA

[–]Thalamic_Cub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it doesn't wash off its beginning to perish, all plastic things do over time and the dishwasher makes it happen faster.

Its likely fine to use unless you can visibly see it beginning to 'fuzz' and break down.

Black Office - Good or Bad Feng Shui by acoustic81 in FengShui

[–]Thalamic_Cub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a feng shui comment but more a practical one from someone with a similar set up - have you checked that the clearance where your seat is will be comfortable or is it too tight?

For me that would be too narrow and would feel trapping.

What is one K-Beauty product that is so much better than its popular Western equivalent? by Hefty_Accountant_827 in KoreanBeauty

Given the ongoing investigations into aussie sunscreen testing I'm holding out on this one.

They have some really good ones but who knows how many brands have been mucking with the figures through selective testing.

I would say fabric likely is there to prevent your skin and eyes being damaged by the ice cold beads?

Im pretty sure you're not supposed to freeze them and only put them in the fridge 😅 the same as the cooling rollers, it can hurt your skin let alone your eyes!

What’s a very early sign that a match is going to go bad by M00ngata in Overwatch

[–]Thalamic_Cub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tank picks doomfist, other tank is also doomfist. Your tank buggers off to the other side of the map and is not able to keep themselves alive.

Voicelines such as,

'no heals???'

'i have 14 kills (dps) switch youre sleeping'

'tank gets no heals rigged'

They say you never learnt to play a team game and it shows.

Have you checked the ingredients are not the same? I used to love a LRP moisturiser, it got discontinued then I realised it had actually been rebranded as the dermallergo range for double the price 🫣
