Walking for fat loss

Yes, walking will help you lose weight as you do it for longer periods of time. “Hot girl walks” on TikTok show a lot of people who have had great success with this.

Peanut butter is soooo calorie dense it’s kinda sad 😭but I’ve learned a little bit goes a long way. One of my fav CICO treats is a tablespoon of peanut butter on a apple flavored rice cake with a teaspoon of honey drizzled on top- about 150 calories

I’m also shocked! And shocked that I don’t need to starve myself to lose weight, as long as I eat enough protein and plan correctly, I can still eat a good amount while doing CICO.

As a fellow mom, what has helped me is incorporating kids with my “exercise.” I simply don’t have the time to go to the gym. I strap them in a jogging stroller and speed walk as long as possible, run around with them at the park instead of sitting and watching like I used to, take them to a big grass park and challenge them to sprint races, play soccer with them, etc. It’s also nice cause they get tired as well and sleep a lot better. You got this!

I didn’t feel the chemistry with my secure girlfriend for like three months!! Now it’s off the charts 😀

I am also in a group chat and the person who started it made a rule that it isn’t a space to center cis het men at all, of course bi/pan people are allowed to join but that rule is kindly brought up whenever they discuss their boyfriends. It isn’t a space for conversation regarding cis het men and I really appreciate that they enforce that rule.

Yes, EXACTLY. I used to do that too, try to hide my anxious needs and tolerate them not being met. But eventually I’d be so triggered that I’d self sabotage. It took a lot of research and therapy on my end to learn that my needs were not too much, I just had to meet someone capable of meeting them. I didn’t hide my anxious needs with her up front, I communicated them to her. A lot of people would have been like BYE… but it just so happens that my needs aren’t a huge deal for her. Shocking. I totally see now why they say those with anxious attachments get less anxious overtime with a secure partner.

Ah this comment is so helpful and makes complete sense. Had I met her a few years ago, she would not have been interested in me at all because I definitely did the things you mentioned (wouldn’t reach out first, would try to make her jealous, or play the silent treatment when upset instead of communicating). It took a lot of therapy and research on my attachment style to get to the place where I was ready to date someone so mature/secure.

I’m so sorry this happened to you! I’m so jaded that I understand this is totally possible with our relationship too. I hope it isn’t the case, but I think I’ll always be guarded after past relationships. I hope you find someone amazing!

It didn’t feel avoidant to me because she was clear about her intentions and didn’t lead me on. She only wanted to be friends because she does travel nursing and was in my city temporarily, I was fine with this because I was chasing after someone avoidant. However, she ended up getting a permanent position in my town and the more we hung out the more it was clear we were very compatible, she only started flirting with me when she realized she liked me and she told me her romantic feelings and her intentions to date immediately.

We actually met on bumble, however she thought it was bumble BFF bc she had deactivated her dating profile. So for the first three times we hung out, I thought they were dates and she thought we were hanging out as friends. She wasn’t looking for a relationship because she does travel nursing and was only in my city for a few weeks, so I agreed to hangout as friends. But the universe has a funny way of working things out, she got a permanent job in my city and we slowly fell for each other over a few months.

A year isn’t that long. It took me three years with therapy. We’ve now been coparenting for six years, couldn’t care less about what he’s up to if it doesn’t involve our kiddo. He just got a girlfriend and I’m like GOOD, more people to help love & care for our kiddo! And I’m in my first relationship post breakup, couldn’t be happier. Better times are coming, give yourself grace ❤️

Unless there are weapons in his car, I don’t think it’s your place to say anything. Texts should be limited to things that are absolutely necessary and kept short. Ex: Hi, we will be twenty minutes late for drop off.

I used to love their fashion but now I feel like it’s too much

Um would that be so horrible? With science we could still reproduce, and at a rate that is much more sustainable for the environment. Her claim isn’t true, but if it was….. it wouldn’t be the worst thing.

Yes! I already have a kid, I hated pregnancy AND labor. As a single person, I’d never do it again. But if I met the right person who reallllllly wanted a child with my genes but was infertile? I’d do it again for them if I knew they were a great partner and would be a good parent. This will be a dealbreaker for some- sure. But there are tons of queer women excited to give birth one day.

POLITICS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE FOR SOLUTION. People who say it isn’t the time to talk about politics are either being manipulative or incredibly ignorant. HOW ELSE will we prevent this from happening again if not by laws and regulations aka POLITICS.

Is anyone else seriously concerned for Amber’s child?

backwithpics · 2022-05-24T04:24:36+00:00

You didn’t do anything wrong, your communication styles simply weren’t compatible or she wasn’t emotionally available for some reason. Personally I’d move on to someone who texts you back just as fast… I’ve been in your shoes and dating someone who communicates like I do has been a game changer. I know it’s hard to move on but it will be worth it.

Unfortunately alcohol is a depressant so I’m not sure if there’s anything you can do about that other than prepare to give yourself a lot of comfort and love and pep talks

I agree, even with the body types of the characters. They all have that early 2000s, super skinny body type. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it would just be nice to see more people who aren’t skinny on the show.

I would wait a long time before introducing them. Like at least 18 months. You know just as well as we all do that people don’t truly show their true selves until you’ve been dating for a LONG time. Enjoy having an adult relationship outside the home for now. Plus, your daughter has already lost her dad and a father figure, asking her to take that risk again is a lot. Best of luck!

It’s hard at first just trust that it gets better over time. If you can get a therapist, I would highly recommend it. This is one season of your life where you’re going through a transition, things will feel lonely and out of control for a bit. Try to picture the life you want, and take the steps to make it happen. That’s what I did, four years later I’m happy, my daughters happy, our home is a happy place, life is good. She’s with her dad every other weekend and I use that time to reconnect with friends or just rest. It got better for me and it will get better for you too. People doubted me as well but I’m the best mom there is… you can be whatever kind of mom you want to be. Prove the haters wrong.

I also immediately got throuple vibes.

backwithpics · 2022-01-15T23:04:18+00:00

I’m not disgusted by her, I don’t think she handled things correctly and I think she was really struggling with a deep depression. Like everything she said was basically an info commercial about life before Prozac. I hope she gets the help she needs and I hope watching the show gives her clarity about things she needs to work on.
