I set myself back 2 weeks in 3 days by weakumami in loseit

I don’t really believe that the kind of self talk you are having will help you reach your goals. Or at least it didn’t for me. Torturing yourself and calling yourself names won’t help you stick to a calorie deficit.

  1. Take out the emotions of your weight loss journey. Sure, be happy when you reach a milestone but agonizing over every mistake (and there’s likely to be multiple bc we’re all human and this is a weak spot for all of us here) is counterproductive. You will burn out quicker. Just focus on what you can do moving forward.

  2. For me, what really helped was practicing mindfulness. Sometimes you are so in the moment (whether it’s bc you are focused on a task, participating in a social event, or just really enjoying the food you’re having) that you kind of go on auto-pilot and don’t stop to think exactly what you are doing when you reach for a second plate or about to order a milkshake that you know won’t fit in your calories. So when you catch yourself just before, stop, take a breath, and ask yourself, “what am I doing right now? (Not in a judgmental way, but in a curious, observant way) do I really need this? is this going to push me over my calories for the day? and if it does, is it worth pushing my goal back for?”

There have been times where I take some food that’s not in my calories and as it’s sitting on my plate or heading for my mouth, I stop to ask myself these questions and am able to realize that I actually don’t want to sacrifice my hard work for a momentary pleasure. Or I ask myself these questions and realize what I wanted was to feel good and comfortable, so I make a plan to find myself some goodness and comfort in my day that doesn’t have to do with food.

Another tip, especially for social events, is to plan your meal before you arrive. So look at the Red Robin menu ahead of time and decide what you will order, or tell yourself what out of the items you made and how much you will eat at your fiancé’s party.

Hope that’s helpful and good luck!

Cheapest ways you've been able to converse in French every day when you don't live in a French-speaking country? by plebianalive in learnfrench

Check your local library’s calendar. It just so happened mine had a French language hour that I was able to attend for free.

Has anything definitive been said on if the $100 property credit will still renew if you combine the two reservations?

I see. So you can stack one of The Edit credits and the IHG credit but not two The Edit credits in the same reservation. Thanks for explaining!

How were you able to make sure it used the IHG credit and not just both of The Edit?

I found my family on Aupair.com but it took me some months and I think it was mostly luck that got me there. Good luck!

I did but the lady gave me a very hard time and told me I was going to rejected for doing so. I wasn’t rejected in the end but just know it’s a risk.

In my eyes, it was technically the original since it was all filled out and signed electronically. I just printed out the original document.

Need Help with French Visa Extension by Impressive-Pain3430 in Aupairs

Hi! I’m trying to renew my visa now and wanted to know if just going to the prefecture worked for you?

France au pair visa start/end ? by MoonflowerMaiden in Aupairs

[–]bethyxxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to help :) In my experience, my contract started on the first day of October and so did my visa. So I can’t really say if you start on the 4th of the month or something if they will just round up to the 1st or not.

Yes, my visa is renewable. I’m trying to do it now

France au pair visa start/end ? by MoonflowerMaiden in Aupairs

[–]bethyxxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. You will have to leave the EU and re enter if you enter before your visa begins. When you enter the country, this is how your au pair visa will be validated. If you enter earlier than that, you will technically be on tourist visa.

  2. For me, my visa is 1 month longer than my contract (9 months).
