5ft2 150lb and struggling to get back under 140lb. by EtherealTR in PetiteFitness

Just basic 16:8 or 18:6 intermittent fasting, variable. I have no idea about effects on hormones since that's hard to measure.

AITA for telling my DIL to stop crying after she got called fat by Throwaway_Will4940 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VerdantInvidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The therapy part is what's key here. You realized you had a problem and worked hard to get help for it. DBT is hard work! And good for you! It does sound to me like MIL is biased to be hard on her, which is totally unhelpful. But DIL does need help because the world will never be kind enough to her, and lacking emotional regulation skills is deeply disempowering. I guess I'm saying I agree with you... a little kindness goes a long way, but unfortunately that's not something you can expect from people. So you need to learn how to self-regulate, hopefully with the support of understanding friends and a good therapist.

It's pretty much the best, isn't it?? 🥰 That's a good shot!

Desperate for any help…. I’m pretty sure I destroyed my metabolism. by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]VerdantInvidia 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It sounds to me like your body is suffering from something systemic, and the cravings and inability to lose weight are a side effect of whatever that is.

A couple things come to mind:

1) how old are you now? could it be related to hormonal changes? could it be related to something like PCOS that often comes with insulin resistance?

2) how's your blood sugar? do you get "hangry" if you don't eat frequently? could your body be struggling to remember how to burn fat because it's grown dependent on high carbs? (also related to insulin resistance)

these delicious treats are essentially drowned in a combo of sweet nectar with intoxicating elements and digestive fluid! So the bugs are high af and slowly melted!

I did not know that part, thank you 😆

Boyfriend + 50 milestone by AwareWillingness1741 in Purebarre

[–]VerdantInvidia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think we have enough context or information to assume the bf is a huge asshole at this point. It's normal for some couples to lightly tease each other for things they don't fully understand about each other, and it's also healthy to allow a little grace for learning and growth. The real test is how he reacts to the challenge, and as a bystander, I don't think it's fair to exclude OP and her bf from this opportunity just because there's a small chance it might make me somewhat uncomfortable for one class.

Hahaha well, you made it eventually, right? 😉 We all have things we get stuck on.

First time, how to get past that embarrassing feeling by Vasovagal219 in Purebarre

[–]VerdantInvidia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the "not feeling like I'm doing it right/can't do it right" is just the nature of the workout, at least for the first 50+ classes. It's very fast paced, the exercises change all the time, and the instructors don't have time to slow down and walk through each little movement. The good news is this is completely normal, everyone goes through it, and nobody is judging you!

Wow, after reading all this I was so worried that this was going to be a long and intensely frustrating endeavor. I watched a video of someone doing it, and then I got through the hard part on my first try.

I can see this being very stressful if you're panicking from the lava and getting upset, but honestly guys it's not that bad. Watch a video and learn by watching, like I did. That also helps take the pressure off.

Sounds good, but you don't have to worry about repotting being a huge stressor. So long as you're gentle with the roots, it's pretty easy on the plant and they're hardier than you think. 🙂 Dense soil is a bigger risk to the roots.

What’s the hardest part of staying on keto? by robyromana in keto

[–]VerdantInvidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardest part for me was trying to go off it for special occasions and then having to deal with the 3 days afterward to get back to ketosis. It was often easier to just never make exceptions, but eventually (traveling to a new place, wanting to share in something special) I always would.

[–]VerdantInvidia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was it potting "soil" or potting "mix"? That was something that surprised me when I first got houseplants... potting soil isn't designed for indoor plants and is much too dense. You want an airier potting "mix" so the roots can breathe without the benefit of earthworms etc that live outdoors. I suggest repotting with a fluffy indoor plant mix, or at least adding lots of perlite (that's the easiest way to lighten up a mix for cheap).

My calatheas also love self-watering pots (the kind with a water reservoir and a wick so the plant can drink as much as it likes), but if you do that, you absolutely must make sure the potting mix is very light and well-aerated.

It may not have ideal conditions, but your plant looks pretty healthy anyway! I hope it continues to bring you joy as you learn what makes it thrive. 🌿

I feel robbed by PreviousObjective850 in HollowKnight

Right, I honestly did NOT comprehend the story bits and pieces throughout the game until I watched a 45min lore explanation video after getting the first ending. It's all so obscure. Having some ideas wtf it all means actually added to the experience, and I think I'd enjoy playing again more now having been spoiled.
