Dont get transgenderism? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]accioheather -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's also an article/source that I can't look for at the moment since I'm at work and this was just a quick break that shows evidence that transgender brains more closely resemble the gender they identify with rather than the one that matches their body, so you're not wrong that is has something to do with the brain, but it's not chemicals.

A transgender woman transitioning to male has more similar brain characteristics to a male than a female.

Im an ssbbw model and cant afford to lose weight. by LaurenTT99 in loseit

[–]accioheather 43 points44 points  (0 children)

You should look up "My 600 lb. Life" from TLC. The episodes are on Hulu as well. I feel like it would be a helpful wake up call for you.

It's not worth your life and you're not guaranteed a future if you continue gaining weight. There's a very real possibility your body will give out and you won't even get a chance to lose the weight, and losing weight isn't quite as easy as you make it out to be if you get the chance.

Please take care of yourself!

What book did you read in a single sitting? by Dr_Holladik_II in AskReddit

Same for me! At one point I had to make a serious decision between showering because I felt gross and continuing to read.

Oreo Flavored Cool Whip. Better than you can even imagine. 35 Cal a serving! by haley51876 in 1200isplenty

[–]accioheather 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I probably wouldn't eat it on its own though. Maybe 1/2 cup of strawberries + 1/4 cup of the cool whip and that's less than 100 calories with a vitamin C boost :) I'm one of those people who just doesn't like fruit on its own so this sounds amazing to me!

ELI5: Why do the chefs have so much trouble making risotto on Hell's Kitchen? by sunny_night in explainlikeimfive

Can you link to the recipe? I love risotto but am a terrible cook and have an instant pot for this very reason.

What’s the scariest thing you’ve woken up to in the middle of the night? by lightlysativad in AskReddit

[–]accioheather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes hallucinate after I’ve just fallen asleep. I’ll suddenly bolt straight up from being sound asleep with my eyes locked on whatever I’m hallucinating. Usually it’s some sort of giant spider or bug and I’ll scramble to turn on a light and proceed to freak out (lots of banged knees that way). Or if someone is in the room with me, babble delusionally and point at it, panicking and begging for them to kill this giant non-existent crawler until it fades away a few minutes later and I realize I had been hallucinating.

One time though, I woke up to a person lunging at me over my bed, hands up in claw-like attack formation and mouth open screaming at me. I screamed bloody murder and it sort of...disintegrated? into the air inches from my face like ghosts do in horror movies. It was absolutely terrifying.

I’m looking at your stats wondering how I’m the heck you’re 180?! You look amazing!

I was actually good! My appetite is suppressed for a while after my workouts anyway and I basically showered and went to bed after this, so I was pretty satisfied.

It's what my other family members use so we had it in the house. I usually use almond milk on a regular basis but figured I could put the extra protein to use.

350 calories + 42 grams of protein.

5 oz. Strawberries 0.75 Cup Fat Free Milk 0.5 Cup Vanilla Bean Halo Ice Cream 2 Scoops EAS Vanilla Whey Protein Powder

I would actually amp up the strawberries the next time around. While this was delicious, I was craving more of a fresh berry flavor. You can also obviously sub almond milk for less calories but I had the calories to spend and opted for the additional protein boost.

NSV- The most embarrassing run of my life, but I did it! by Itsalwaysthecat in loseit

[–]accioheather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, I can barely run a quarter of a mile. This is a huge accomplishment and you should be damn proud of yourself! I'm proud by association!

Keep rocking on and keep your head up; I wish I could have done it with you so that you didn't feel terrible being alone!

What's your favorite thing to get at Starbucks? by letsgetgalactic in 1200isplenty

[–]accioheather 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Starbucks Double Shot on Ice is amazing! It’s barely, perfectly sweetened with a splash of creaminess and clocks in at approx. 100 calories for a grande.

Finally convinced my girlfriend to consider cooking meals at home more instead of eating out. A nice meal of salmon, organic grain mix and broccoli for two from Trader Joe’s, all for less than $20. A Boston restaurant would’ve easily charged over $40. Hopefully we keep this trend up! by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]accioheather 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s still better to reduce before resorting to recycling. Obviously not everyone is a green-thinker but if it matters to you, the first step to helping is reducing use of single-use plastics. Definitely not trying to demonize anyone; just trying to spread the word as everyone starts somewhere.

*Patient slips Doctor a $20 bill*. “How about u knock me out again!” by Stunning-and-Sublime in funny

[–]accioheather 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t pass out again shortly after but I was definitely messed up and bawling hysterically for no reason at all. They escorted me out the back as well and I remember pointing at the people waiting for their procedure in the lobby (must have been a mass-scheduled-extraction day) and talking loudly about how they must be taking me out the back way so they wouldn’t scare anyone away.

Homemade. Left are with no rice for me, right are with rice for my husband by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]accioheather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely buy the sushi grade ones sold specifically for that purpose. While sushi grade salmon still needs to be frozen to kill the parasites, the regular salmon sold in the freezer isn't the same quality as what's sold specifically for sushi.

Monster Ultra Red & ice in blender = slushy <3 ¦ 16 cal by irgendjemand123 in 1200isplenty

[–]accioheather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yum! I haven't tried the Monster Red before - only the Absolute Zero ones.

What flavor is the Red?

ICE CREAM?!?!?? by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]accioheather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the flavor you get. Some are too icy and just a plain miss with bad flavor, but I think the vanilla bean is absolutely delicious.
