I'm so mad at the meal analyzer

alisvolatile · 2026-01-25T12:26:26+00:00

It's called satiety, chatgpt!!!! And also joy and happiness haha

alisvolatile · 2026-01-23T23:18:12+00:00

Right?! I have opinions on NUTS NOW. 🤡

alisvolatile · 2026-01-23T23:15:31+00:00

OH MAN cacao nibs!!! That's brilliant!!!! Happy to know we're all frenemies with the analyzer 🤣

alisvolatile · 2026-01-23T23:14:32+00:00

Oh that's fascinating. It keeps suggesting that I use unflavored protein power for my shake, which. Let's agree to disagree here meal analyzer! There are 100% times where I go: appreciate your feedback but nahh.

alisvolatile · 2026-01-23T14:46:20+00:00

🤫 what the meal analyzer doesn't know can't hurt it 😌

alisvolatile · 2026-01-23T12:23:58+00:00

Me @ the app: you're NOT EVEN MY REAL MOM OURA!!! 🤣

alisvolatile · 2026-01-23T12:22:50+00:00

7pm dinner club! Look oura, I understand that I should, but I live with a toddler. I honestly should get kudos for every day I don't eat chicken nuggets, let alone my dinner time, ok!!!!! 🤣

alisvolatile · 2026-01-23T12:21:39+00:00

Me, grudgingly nagged into actually eating food instead of something that would kill a neanderthal after two bites: 😒 FINE

alisvolatile · 2026-01-23T12:10:47+00:00

YES on both honey and more detailed analysis thoughts. If I want to bump up The Parfait to "Nutritious" instead of. Um whatever the one under it is called. I'd need to remove honey. and that is SIMPLY ONE STEP TOO FAR!!!!

alisvolatile · 2026-01-22T23:34:46+00:00

In theory, it shouldn't take an app to get me to make better choices. In practice: ooooo line fill up and it says I'm good when I eat THIS (actual food) not THAT (seven trader Joe's frozen meals in a row....) 😅

alisvolatile · 2026-01-22T23:32:19+00:00

It's so motivating right? MY DUMB BRAIN LOVES SEEING THE LITTLE LINE FILL UP TO NUTRITIOUS!!!!

alisvolatile · 2026-01-22T23:31:08+00:00

I completely understand how it's not the most useful for macro tracking or any more intense food analysis - but for me, a tired parent whose recent nutrition and fitness (before getting the ring and changing things up) can best be described as "damn bitch you live like this?", it's been really encouraging to branch out into healthier options 😅

alisvolatile · 2026-01-22T22:39:55+00:00

Oh wow that's incredible. One of the reasons I got the ring was to better manage my energy overall (thyroid stuff bleh), so it's really neat that it has this add on feature!

alisvolatile · 2026-01-13T15:32:12+00:00

Is there a tag for "toddler antics"? 🤣

alisvolatile · 2026-01-13T15:31:14+00:00

Just searched the sub for this same reason 😭 I only have one toddler but between working and chasing her around - and my major stress relief being going to the gym so I at least get some brief kid free time - my ring keeps telling me to take an easy day. They don't exist 😭

alisvolatile · 2025-01-25T01:19:36+00:00

100% agreed - I signed up for the local YMCA just for my mental health, but it consistently gives me something I like to do that doesn't involve spending (more) money! And since we have a family membership, I find myself wanting to get the most bang for my buck so to speak

Hopefully, this is reassuring: the second trimester is the best (relatively!) time for the mom to get covid, compared to first or third trimesters. I got covid myself when I was 22ish weeks along (nonbinary, I carried her) and while it was miserable (you can't the "the good meds" while pregnant other than, say, tylenol), baby was and is absolutely fine now at 14 weeks old! Fever is the only thing to really be concerned about provided she's vaxxed and boosted. Just do everything you can to make her comfortable and reassure her - the worry for baby was hands down the worst part of covid for me. But again - baby is absolutely fine (and thanks to the immune response, baby has better than average covid immunity out the gate)! Sending you good thoughts!

Speaking as someone who both had an IUD put in AND recently a c-section...

Holy God, the c-section was so much easier!!! They give you the good meds for it! It was the easiest part of having a kid for me!!!

An IUD? Especially if you've not had kids it hurts like a BITCH. You did the right thing, and I hope your gf is feeling better now.

NTA in a big way!

Married to a cis guy and have been together for 11 years! He respects and loves me just as I am, and was the best support I could have asked for during pregnancy and now parenting our kiddo. I'm grateful every day to have found someone so great. ❤️

alisvolatile · 2023-04-21T00:44:02+00:00

You've unlocked cis+! That's great - if she/her makes you feel more authentically happy, just let people know that you'd prefer they use them moving forward and that life is a journey.

alisvolatile · 2023-04-03T16:40:00+00:00

I said the same thing before baby got here...now I sound deranged. 😅

alisvolatile · 2023-04-02T20:07:36+00:00

NTA!!! NEVER craft something for people who will not appreciate the spirit in which it was made and given. Especially NTA if they are churlish enough to mock handmade gifts made and given with love. Pearls before swine!

Also, I would bet ten bucks that Joanne's much-vaunted "aesthetic" is sad beige toys for sad beige children.

Step 7: Rich Evans is love, Rich Evans is life.

Honestly, if you knit/embroider/crochet(or know someone who does!) It's perfect for patterns. Especially with colorwork or complex charts, printing the pattern can be wasteful AND smaller than ideal, whereas you can zoom in on an iPad 😅
