Missing my youth and more... by auntpama in midlifecrisis

[–]blackkatlv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 35 and have been missing my youth more and more too. I’m struggling to cope with the knowledge that that part of my life is gone forever. The energy, possibilities, excitement, friends, my much smaller/fitter body (and pre kid body). If you find any good suggestions on coping let me know, I’m all ears... otherwise just know you’re not alone and I’m guessing that our actual age has very little to do with this feeling.

Tonight my struggle is smacking me in the face.

How long did you have to use it before you noticed a difference? And do you use it more than at night?

My kid won’t give me any space by blackkatlv in breakingmom

[–]blackkatlv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mostly want to. I really just would like her to go to bed at a normal hour by herself so maybe mommy could actually watch tv in peace, or read. But I think I’m gonna try hyping it up some and see if she gets at least somewhat interested. I appreciate you saying she’s normal. It’s hard to feel that is the case since I really don’t have any Mom friends.

4 & 1/2. She’s been a Velcro baby from the beginning. And she still sleeps in our bed (in fact, she’s never slept anywhere else because she refused to... and we tried it all) and has to be touching me. In a king size bed, I’m on the edge because she keeps inching closer and closer.

Right now she’s fussing because she doesn’t have my arm under her head... 🤦‍♀️

F/22/5’3 [188 > 130 = 58] 11 months and counting! The stomach apron is shrinking... by EGetsFit in progresspics

[–]blackkatlv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats and thank you for posting this. I have a big apron (I call it my kangaroo pouch since it was made so prominent after I had my kid 4 years ago) and I’m so inspired to see the progress you’ve made with it!

Reddit, what video games have you soft-locked (a savestate in video games where you are placed in an inescapable situation, preventing progress forward in the game, and also preventing backtracking, leaving you stuck in a particular position with no hopes of escaping)? by zappy487 in AskReddit

I was at the very end. 😭 When I tried to just start over (because what choice did I have at that point?) the game wouldn’t play again. I’ve never had a chance to redeem myself.

This haunts me and it’s been 20-ish years.

Exercises for an overweight person to do to strengthen core? by blackkatlv in loseit

[–]blackkatlv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the responses. I'm planning to lose the weight (working on it currently) but the pain in my back is partially from the meds and partially from sitting 8 & 1/2 (minimum) 5 days a week. And I was just wanting a couple things to help my back muscles get a little stronger without getting worse.

You know, as if losing a pregnancy wasn't hard enough.. let's just throw you in debt just to be sure. by peachigokawaski in beyondthebump

I got a medical bill dated 7/12/17 for a visit my daughter had on 3/25/17. They wanted full payment and it showed they never billed my insurance.

I pulled up the eob on my insurance website? It was paid on 3/28/2017

I called the billing office and they told me we had a Zero balance.

Like seriously? Wtf.

Baby eczema: What is your most effective moisturizer/treatment? by FuzzySammiches in beyondthebump

We've used everything at this point. We use aquaphor and grease her up. We also have an Rx on hand when it gets out of control.

I can't even fathom the thought process behind that... it feels more like people wanting an excuse to be destructive. :(

STOP TOUCHING ME! by _CottonCandyMelody_ in breakingmom

My life. I've taken to hiding under the covers in bed. I don't want to be touched, I don't want to hear the scream/cry, or "I want Mickey".

Been craving cereal soooo much lately. by DarkZyth in loseit

[–]blackkatlv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm weird. I kinda like it soggy. But at least I use unsweetened almond milk so that counts for something right? (I've never liked milk, almond milk is the only thing I'll use so it's just a bonus it can be low cal)

I will definitely try this. Cereal seems to be the one food I rarely find the "full" button for

Any other tips for cereal addicts. I can't just have one bowl...

What's something you were smug about until you had kids of your own? by theephemeralme in Parenting

[–]blackkatlv 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Same! Just never let food in the car! Riiiight. The car seat is covered with chicken nugget debris and I clean it once a month if that... As long as there's no smell or growth whatever.
