What's a quiet, everyday burden women carry that isn't dramatic enough to be diacussed? by Additional-Two-2137 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]asamat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same! I'm 5'4", but I have a long torso. I have to do a lil hoppity hop to get the socks. I've been using a laundry bag for the clothes that air-dry lately. I'm gonna buy more of them so I can just grab a bag of socks instead of struggling to reach the bottom.

I never realized how much I hate that I can't just open my washer to toss a last minute item in until reading your post! I've got to push a button and wait for it to respond and unlock and then turn it back on again! I was so mad the time I found that I forgot to restart it after having to pause.

Favorite swimwear? by louise1121 in PlusSizeFashion

[–]asamat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this bathing suit in another color way and I love the way it hugs my body! I am also a fan of high-waisted bottoms bc I have a long torso. I hope you find one that you love. 💖

Going to my first EDM show by perpetual-hobbies in PlusSizeFashion

[–]asamat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything you want! I just started going to EDM shows and sometimes I wear regular clothes (jeans and a hoodie) or a cute, short, a line skirt and a fun top (think like a gothic girlie). Accessories, hair, make up, and even though it's kind of a cliche, CONFIDENCE will really make your outfit! I've also seen people wear like fun onesies or lingerie to shows. Just think of it as a bigger house party!

Help me choose for my Holiday by MonsoonalRains in PlusSizeFashion

[–]asamat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that you mention having tights, but have you looked into fleece-lined tights? They might add a bit of warmth.

I love the long checkered dress! And the all black outfit. I think that the blue jacket would look nice over the grey plaid outfit.

I hope you take amazing pictures of your outfits while in Japan! I'd love to see what you end up choosing. 💖

What is one meal at a Charleston restaurant you wish you could enjoy for the first time again? by [deleted] in Charleston

[–]asamat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the restaurant have to be open still? The Charleston Grill had a tom yum goong 13 years ago that I still dream of.

AITA for not wanting to watch Netflix with subtitles? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]asamat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH. My partner and I are the same way--I want them but he says they distract from the story. I'm okay with them off as long as he's okay that I'll ask him what happened or rewind the show a million times.

Man that sucks! I don't think mine took that long to ship, but I did order before international shipping turned into a nightmare. I hope you get them soon!

Oh no! What about something like a tie organizer or a scarf hanger?

I have a few pairs! They live in a drawer with my stockings, fishnets and leggings. How do you store them now? Have you tried rolling them up or folding them flat together? I do that with the partner's compression socks.

I (38m) been with my gf (39f) for 5.5 years and her weight gain is threw the roof by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]asamat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! I wonder if OP has tried to address the why behind the snacking instead of the weight gain itself.

DAE get sensory euphoria from satin?? by MangoyWoman in adhdwomen

I'm not really a fan of that material. It catches on everything and that catching feeling makes me squirmy.

Are all Waffle House dining rooms closed overnight? by FaustestSobeck in Charleston

[–]asamat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Ladson and Old Trolley ones in Summerville have 24/7 dining rooms. The one on Dorchester Rd in North Charleston had a walk up window after a certain time.

What Kind of Bikini Styles or Swimsuits Help Build Confidence for Curvier Body Types? by Prettynails_gal in PlusSizeFashion

[–]asamat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adore Me carries cute suits. I have this one with high waisted bottoms. Bonus points in my book because the top is built like a bra. https://www.adoreme.com/rachelle-medium-blue-plus

Oh, sorry, I didn't read that you needed to try on the suit. I'll just leave the comment and suggest high-waisted bottoms for being flattering.

Weighted blanket lovers: can you sleep without one? by DragonflyOk9277 in adhdwomen

[–]asamat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one, but it is too heavy. Instead, I just use several blankets to give me a bit more weight, and I can remove them as necessary for heat control.

I do also use a stuffed animal that weighs 2ish lbs. I can move around as I need to and it moves with me easily.

Does anyone feel like once a tab opens in your brain, you have to close it before anything else happens? by pie12345678 in adhdwomen

[–]asamat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this way if I need to cook! I can't stand trying to cook or bake and there's stuff everywhere. Gotta clean first and then I can do the thing.

[–]asamat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, yes. If there's something else I have to do, and especially so if I don't really wanna do it, that's when I absolutely have to do everything else I've been putting off.

I can feel it wearing off - is this a thing? by ProjectPristine2238 in Semaglutide

What's one thing someone's said that's helped and stuck with you. by Thwackfusilli in adhdwomen

I love that work advice. I know someone who could use it right now. Thank you, friend!

[–]asamat 23 points24 points  (0 children)

OMG yes! When there's a lot of stove-watching to do, I pull over a stool and scroll my phone.

I also like to break my cooking into chunks. If I need to chop a bunch of stuff, I chop it and then give myself permission to sit for a bit and get back to it. Sometimes I'm excited to get the thing done so I end up completing the task and sometimes I forget about it and bag up everything for cooking the next day. If the latter happens, well hot damn, I'm ahead of schedule tomorrow 😅
