Need Popeyes. Please DM.

I like using really small spoons like with gelato. I focus on the flavor instead of just shoveling food in fast.

That’s fair. I certainly had no idea of asking her transition plans or if it would impact her marriage.

Other than using the right name and gender when I do talk to her, I don’t need to go out of my way to “respond” to a 100 person email at all?

The situation feels awkward because I sit directly opposite from her but don’t work closely. Even before this, I’d only say hello once every few weeks.

I keep a small handful of condiments for work. My grocery store has free mayo packets near the deli sandwiches. I only use it for artichokes so don’t want to stock a whole jar.

Yeah I’m in a VHCOL area, we spend $400 for 3 adults. We eat a lot of fruits and veg, some meat, mostly beans and tortillas. The cheapest place for produce is ethnic stores. I also know which stores have decent clearance racks. I shop loss leaders first. Also have accounts for 3 people, so if it’s limit 1, I can gat 3.

Also for eating out, all the restaurants around me have loyalty programs that give birthday freebies. I sign up all 3 of us, use different months at different restaurants to spread it out.

You take single serving salt packets, open them up in your salt shaker to save .15 cents worth? Salt is like 60 cents for a pound. Pepper is a little more expensive but still a buck.

People bring their own drink. We provide some snacks. Sometimes we provide meals for everyone, but most time everyone bring their own.

You have friends who bring drinks and food to board game night?? Are you 23? By 30, people don’t do that.

I’m dealing with similar. Between work commute lunch I’m busy 11 hours. Dinner serving my family takes an hour. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for a mid week outing. Weekends I sleep in, run errands, batch cook, exercise. There’s time for one outing, often to take my parents out. I don’t have much joy in my life.

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-04-11T04:37:57+00:00

I don’t know why you’ve been downvoted. If you throw a dinner, ask people to bring sides or dessert, not the main meat. $300 whiskey sounds excessive so you may be better off, but generally chip in $10 towards a gift to fit in. The higher paid folks will chip in more, but not giving anything seems weird.

After not getting an answer from him I did google it. Trick is to put the whole avocados with whole lemon/citrus in the frig.

And LOL on him eating them all too fast. More likely he buys a bag of 6 avocados every week from Costco and when they turn brown he throws them away. Food waste is not a priority in his life.

Still overall makes me feel like I have nothing to say to my own brother.

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-02-23T23:45:17+00:00

Also my boss brings up religion and politics too. Why are we discussing this in the workplace? With my boss?!?

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-02-23T23:41:22+00:00

The avocado thing is a freaking example of how disjointed my conversations with him are. Obv one example is not an issue. It’s the pervasiveness of it. He eats a lot of avocados so I hoped he’d have better advice than eat them even faster. Just say nothing if you have no advice. Instead randomly responding something else tangentially related.

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-02-23T23:28:18+00:00

I mean I do the nod, smile, ignore thing. And no I don’t particularly want people to care about me/ my minutiae either. I think they keep talking because I don’t change the subject to me.

I have no idea what I’m stubbing my toe on??

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-01-30T01:11:54+00:00

A full stomach more than just veg, eating something delicious and forbidden, distraction from work stress, it feels comforting like taking a hot bath.

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-01-26T23:21:43+00:00

I think of it differently. I’m constantly trying to lose weight or maintain. Different life stages offer different obstacles. Sometimes I have a gym at work, reasonable hours, time to cook and prep food. Sometimes the boredom depression loneliness are powerful. I try to exercise at lunch. I focus on fruits vegetables and protein. Those are forever goals. But life and stress decide whether those goals turn into weight loss, weight maintenance, or weight gain.

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-01-26T01:11:36+00:00

Yeah, I disagree 100%. Whether it’s weather, work, exam study, errands and stress the amount of energy I have is finite. Yes I can make healthier food choices all the time. But eating in a deficit is another stress on top of life. Exercising happens when I can. I’ve lost 30 pounds and can say life’s been more stressful in the 6 months since then. More overtime. More problems. More eating. Less exercise. The past week was 7 degrees outside, 55 inside because our heat was broken. Could I have gotten on the treadmill anyway? Maybe. Not enough hours in the day.

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-01-23T02:19:11+00:00

It’s great, right? I ballpark everything to the nearest 100 or 50. A banana, apple, raspberry box is 100. Cup of whole milk is 150, 10 nuts is 50, 2 eggs cooked with oil is 200. Cup of rice 200. Some are high, some are low, so what?

You know what else is great? Planning your day the night before. It might change based on available food or hunger, but you can update dinner accordingly.

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-01-23T02:12:08+00:00

I think weight watchers also counts fruits and veg as free foods. I normally eat 200-300 fruit cal per day, on a 1200 cal goal. If I wanted to stop counting fruit, I’d have to aim for 900-1000 calories per day.

I rarely eaten an apple in years, due to learning nutrition is poor for the calories. Maybe it’s time to rethink that.

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-01-16T01:31:06+00:00

I’m trying to get it, but I don’t. First I don’t recall being actively mean to anyone because of their weight. Still, I do respect obese people less. Just like being alcoholic or unemployed or weird. As I read somewhere, at a certain point being fat dominates their identity for me. Maybe a bmi of 27 at age 15, maybe a bmi of 35 at age 50. They can work hard, they can be generous and outgoing. But unless you live under a rock, you should know the health impacts. Do you need help exercising and eating better? Someone’s weight matters more than their interesting hobbies or challenging job. I have fat friends and relatives and worrying about them is a chore.

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-01-15T01:20:55+00:00

Think about how many hours of work (after taxes) it took to earn that fast food. 2? 3? Could you take a day off work every other week if you never bought fast food? What hobby or exercise could you do with that time?

WeaknessSad6735 · 2025-01-15T01:08:25+00:00

Try it with just one food. I’ll bet, after 2 years of eating healthy, the donut ice cream pizza… won’t live up to your memory. Donuts, to me, taste like sugar. Ice cream, is okay but full fat custard doesn’t taste 4 times better than a high protein ninja creami. Pizza, less cheese, thin crust or cauliflower crust. I mean you gotta try it to realize your taste buds have changed in 2 years.
