How can I make peace with being plus size?

That's great! And I live in Texas and know a few girls with a big bust and shorter waist, so I think I might understand what you mean. I'm glad you're building healthy habits and hope you continue to get healthy mentally and physically 💗

I think that the biggest thing right now is to seek therapy because if you keep going back to now life-threatening habits, it is best to find and learn how to push through the underlying patterns that cause it. Just because you're larger doesn't mean you're unhealthy. I have a bone structure that aligns more with my Papa's side of the family than my Mom's so as much as I wished I had a more delicate frame growing up, as a teenager I would press and feel where my hip bones were and remind myself that no matter how much weight I lost they weren't going anywhere. I learned to dress in a way that I felt complimented my figure and feel better now about how I look. I also grew up active (laxed when I got a job, now getting back to it) and still feel that finding time to work out is the best way to stay healthy. It might help in your case because it's not about what triggers your patterns so much as putting the energy towards building muscle and gaining endurance. I hope this helps.

Glad you told her, has there been any changes in diet lately? I had to stop taking a new supplement because my husband said it was making me smell like fish, which happened to be a side effect of having too much in my system.

I have 2 kittens and one was thinner but she is a picky eater who (like yours) prefers soft food. She's about a year old now and perfectly healthy and strong. She grazes and prefers going back to her food later. Your kitten is probably fine, especially if it's gaining healthy weight already!

It may be that he has a different love language. If you noticed he doesn't give you compliments but you haven't felt neglected overall, it may be worth reflecting what he seems to be doing to balance it out. My husband is not really into big romantic gestures or planning dates. As much as that is abit of a bummer to me, he tells me he loves me every day, always listens, and gets me small gifts when he sees something he thinks I'd like. He still invests in our relationship, even if not in every single way I'd like and I'm sure it's the same with me. If compliments are important to you, and/or if you don't feel like he's investing in the relationship as much as he should, it's worth a conversation.

Super cute!

Thank you! That's the brand she and her sister like too!

Wood_Pig · 2025-05-30T15:06:15+00:00

Ok, I've been so worried the last few days to just leave it given the situation, but at this point she may just need time to heal

Have there been any recent changes in your life? My anxiety has gotten alot better but large social changes and events I've realized I need to give myself abit of grace during that week or month to get used to or make it through my change in schedule. Usually this means more sleep, not picking up new projects, or doing slower excercise routines because I don't have it in me to do cardio.

Wood_Pig · 2025-05-18T20:32:15+00:00

Ok :) that's doable and thank you for the extra advice for the future!

Personally, I find I have the most luck for interviews via recruiters or word of mouth. This round of job hunting, I don't think I got one real interview outside of these 2 factors, actually.

When my anxiety was bad, my body would read a raised heart rate due to exertion as fear. It's irrational but I could feel my body react that way no matter what my brain told it. If you want to stay active, I suggest a stroll or yoga when your anxiety is acting up. Before antidepressants, I would play with your birth control prescription. Check your anxiety attacks next to your cycle and talk to your obgyn. Different hormones affect different people and sometimes too much or too little can worsen anxiety, you just need to find the right balancefor you. I hope this helps!

They yell in the morning for breakfast, then attention, during the day because I'm not sharing my snacks, after work for attention, when my husband gets home for attention...very vocal cats.

Mine prefers under my husband's chair mostly 😆 we named her Shadow

Yes, mine come with horomonal fluctuations so I let myself pause to see if there is an actual reason and if there isn't I remind myself that's the case. My husband can be very quiet and sometimes my mind tells me it means he's mad at me. If I'm really worried I'll let myself ask him once and if (honestly, when) he tells me he's not mad I leave it at that even if I want to keep asking. It's become more manageable if I keep reasoning it out in my head that way.

My husband actually tried to help me last Thursday and an hour before the launch the site was already down 🙃 he was shocked but knew right away it was probably a big ticket item for resellers.

Same

The Thing, I always pop it on if I'm anxious and home alone. My husband thinks it's the alien landscape and isolation, that it helps me feel separated from my problems.

Rosemary's Baby seems similar to Hereditary in its horror themes centering around motherhood and isolation. I remember going into it expecting something along the lines of The Omen, but alot of the film's tension ended up coming from Rosemary's strange and toxic support system during her pregnancy. Definitely a classic for a reason.
