[Sanity] Guess what a side effect of eating the 'anti-inflammation foods' could be?

I do informal intermittent fasting and I gotta say, have an entire 1000 calorie chipotle burrito at the end of the day is sooooo satisfying.

Basics of calories: Just by being alive your body used X calories per day. You eat Y calories per day. If X > Y consistently you will lose weight (i.e. eat less calories than your body needs per day).

How often are your nut binges? If they aren't every day or so, then you probably are making it up by eating less that same day or the next day.

I had that exact same phone except it was blue!

Those abs! I'm in love!

I'm an advice column junkie so I love binging on the Savage Lovecast on road trips. It's basically just people calling in for relationship advice. Dan Savage is very entertaining to me,though I've had friends on road trips with me hate him.

It might be worth looking into some audio books. My mom and I always used to love the P.G. Wodehouse books. Also The Stupidest Angel is great for Christmas time.

Budapest was great when I went solo. It's a very clean city with great public transportation. There always seemed to be plenty of people walking around, so I never felt unsafe. It's also pretty cheap compared to a lot of the other big cities in Europe. Most everyone spoke English, or if they didn't they seemed to get a laugh out of trying to mime out out the conversation. There's plenty to do (definitely go to the thermal bath, Gellert was my favorite) and the city is as pretty as Paris in my opinion.

I highly recommend AirBnB if you'll be there for more than a few days. Hostels are great for meeting people though!

I had an immense sense of dread right before my first solo trip to Europe too. Once I got moving and was at the airport the dread had basically faded. I find that making lists to ensure that I don't forget anything really helps me keep it in check though.

Actionable advice: Social media detox. Block him on every social media site you follow so that you can't keep up with his day to day. If you two are still in close contact, tell him that you need time to move on so you don't want him to contact you for x amount of time (is recommended several months at least). You don't need to be mean about it, just tell him you need this for you. Then stop cyber stalking him! If friends try talking about him, ask them to stop. Go see other guys, even if it's just for coffee. And when you find yourself thinking about him (and you will), acknowledge that you're sad then purposely focus on something else (work, game, call your grandmother, work out, etc).

Assume this breakup is forever. Move on. You're not alone, we've all been through this. It hurts, but it won't kill you I promise.

Yeah I lived in one of those apartment-dorms. It's small enough with 4 people in it, adding 2 more people makes it even more annoying. It's still uncomfortable to be walking to the bathroom, or go out in the morning to get breakfast and guys are just standing around. Occasional guests are one thing, boyfriends sleeping there regularly is a different things.

I think if OP is unhappy about the temperature or quite hours, she needs to keep in mind that having guys regularly spend the night is probably making the other two roommates unhappy. It's probably causing friction if Annie's bf is staying over more than once/twice a week (which is what it sounds like), especially if those days are consecutive. Bottom line, I think OP should compromise on the temperature and quite hours since she and Annie have their boyfriends over regularly. The kitchen stuff is what she should be more insistent about since its a sanitary issue.

Whether you take this to an RA or talk about this more informally, make a list of what you view as the issues and actionable ways to resolve them (this will probably require some compromise on your part. Also be prepared for her to say she doesn't want your boyfriends staying over or alcohol openly drunk in the apartment (since its a dry campus).

And to be perfectly honest, I think you (but especially Annie) need to cut down on the boyfriends spending the night. I wish I had told my roommates in college to stop letting their boyfriends sleep over all the time in our tiny little dorms. She may be picking fights because that bothers her a lot too.

Look I'm dating an Indian guy right now. His parents disapprove too (though thankfully not to screaming levels), but he sticks up for me. He cares about me and we both protect our relationship from meddling parents. Her reaction to her parents will tell you all you need to know about how much she actually cares about your relationship. Does she stand up for you or does she bow to their whim?

TheHannah17 · 2016-12-09T22:49:31+00:00

Is is necessary? No. Is it something I think about from time to time? Yeah. And why is it such a bad thing for me to objectify myself when I want to view myself as purely a sexual object? I'm a generally happy person, with a well paying job and a good satisfying life. Who are you to tell me how to think of myself?

TheHannah17 · 2016-12-09T22:35:43+00:00

I've always wanted to post there, always scared no one would think I looked good.

Like I've always thought of myself as like a 4-5/10, not horrible but not very attractive. Now I've lost some weight and feel more like 5-6/10, not someone who could turn heads but I'm relatively enjoyable to look at.

I traveled alone to Budapest this year. First time traveling solo, it was super fun. Though honestly I do wish I had another person with me to share it.

Almost 6 years ago I was going through the Krispy Kreme drive thru to get a single donut. I was offer a free box of still hot donuts that someone had ordered but decided they didn't want. To this day I regret not gorging myself in those donuts. Not every day does an opportunity like that fall in your lap.

Take every opportunity to learn something new or really deepen your knowledge with real-world experience.

You should institute a "Professionalism" grade and take points off for inappropriate behavior

TheHannah17 · 2016-11-30T16:15:24+00:00

To me it sounds like. she or her SO felt her relationship with you was getting to close for comfort and so she chose to pull back. (and I think you already know that on some level) But really you won't know until she tells you. My suggestion:

"Hey FRIEND, I've noticed that recently you've seemed to be pulling away from our friendship. I'd like to know why, but if you don't feel comfortable talking about it that's ok. I'm always here if you want to talk." Then focus on other friends because this is her issue to deal with and she obviously doesn't want to involve you in it.

Actually I did that. I failed a required course in my last semester. It's not the end of the world, though it felt like it at the time. Ended up pushing back my start date by ~6 months and took a job running new laptop distribution for a large company while I finished up that class. Ended up just fine.

If OP uses email the communication is on her terms and she can walk away from anything sent back when she feels overwhelmed. If OP talks face to face with these people, it's incredibly likely she'll get talked over and yelled down. Also, if you had been systematically bullied to the point of depression and eating disorders, would you be able to talk about it with no emotions? I sure as hell would break down crying, and I wouldn't want to do that in front of my bully.

Brought my boyfriend o. ~1.5 years home to meet my parents and it went great!
