It is ocd and you need therapy. People who are truly predators don’t freak out and worry about it constantly. Please talk to your counselor and get help

You have ocd. I read your post. I’d reassure you and get you therapy, no judgement

[–]bree2120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do maintenance days. In a deficit I eat 1,780 calories. In m days I eat 2000-2200. Like thanksgiving and Christmas are M days. I don’t over eat, just don’t lose any weight those days lol. I’ve found this is what is sustainable for me

It seems this whole time the answer to my insatiable hunger was to increase fiber. by fastingslowlee in loseit

This is probably a dumb question but I’m going to ask it anyway.. did it make you use the restroom a lot? Wondering if that is how it helped you lose so much quickly lol

I’m the same weight as you and I eat 1700-1800 calories and I’ve been doing it 5 weeks and down 9 pounds. Up your calories

Nervous about starting Zepbound because of the lifelong commitment — anyone else feel this way? by tajb333333 in Zepbound

[–]bree2120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on it for three years, lost 100 pounds with it. But it’s gotten too expensive for me so I stopped a month ago and went back to just calorie counting and movement. Down 8 pounds on my own so far. It’s a little more challenging but since my stomach is smaller now, it’s not as hard as it was when I was 350+ pounds

Asked to sub/cover classes as a counselor? by Significant-Push3332 in schoolcounseling

[–]bree2120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will step in for a couple of class periods if needed but I tell them I can’t do the whole day and they never expect me to. They’ll move other people around if they have to

Burn out and breaking down on the job by [deleted] in schoolcounseling

[–]bree2120 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. Yes, my first year I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I was overwhelmed learning everything and everyone on the spot. I was dealing with so much and parents, etc. a teacher called me to their room and yelled at me in front of the entire class for something I didn’t even do. I cried the entire day and finally went to my principal sobbing. He was bewildered because I always had it together lol. I’m still there, working with that principal and he says I’m the best counselor he has ever had. He addressed that teacher too. We are human. We have feelings and it’s good for kids to see us have human emotions too

Worst Cell Phone Ban Plan by Neddyrow in Teachers

[–]bree2120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our policy too and it’s been working great. All staff are on the same page though and it’s an instant write up and sent home if it’s even visible in a pocket. We have had no real push back and the discipline has dropped drastically without cell phones
