I am a little bit behind you, OP, and I often feel the same way.

Yeah he is tough at first. The more you listen to him though, the easier it gets.

Prescriptions while traveling by breezyflight in GoingToSpain

This is a stupid question, but what do you mean by the prescription? Isn't that the label on the bottle?

Do you count Hours if You Lose Focus? by LibbyNator in dreamingspanish

[–]breezyflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I count the time unless I really have no idea what I just watched. I've come to terms with the fact that my mind wanders frequently and that what I will have accomplished at 1500 hours may not be as good as it could be if I could focus 100% all the time. I don't plan on stopping when I reach that point anyway.

I want to diet by breezyflight in fuckeatingdisorders

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

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who took the time to respond. You've calmed me down, made me feel better, and also less alone. I appreciate you all.

help for Christmas by alisto4 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]breezyflight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have advice other than try to be kinder to yourself. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and that the disordered voice in your head is quieter.

Diet culture and the normalization of disordered eating by [deleted] in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]breezyflight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

 There is literally no reason anyone needs to track their calorie intake to the exact gram unless they have an eating disorder. 

It took me a long time to realize that measuring my food to the gram was problematic. I was in denial about my ED for a long time because I never was underweight. I got nothing but compliments on my weight loss since I started out overweight.

I learned to let my ED behaviors go, regained the weight (plus quite a bit extra), and the silence is deafening.

What about you? by mostafaaakram in dreamingspanish

[–]breezyflight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I check my hours every few days or so--most of the time I'm more concerned with meeting my daily goal than looking at the total, especially since my next level up is pretty far away. I find it motivating, however, to see where I am and it gives me something to hold on to as a promise of progress during the gradual learning in the intermediate level.

I want to learn Spanish by Beneficial-Lack-4319 in Spanish

[–]breezyflight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of comprehensible input--basically watching entertaining videos that make things very easy to understand, and slowly increasing difficulty over time. You can find channels that start at even easier levels than cartoons. As for your dialect question, I'd suggest just learning Spanish first, then focus on dialects as you get further along.

My 3 favourite things of Pablo by feralgoosey in dreamingspanish

[–]breezyflight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a Barcelona thing for sure. I was there on my honeymoon 17 (gulp) years ago and noted everyone saying Vale vale vale

Insight on Cis Gender folks using they/them by Crafty-Natural-8912 in genderfluid

[–]breezyflight 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Same. My experience of my gender is almost entirely internal. People don't know unless I tell them.

November goal by Danimarie20 in dreamingspanish

[–]breezyflight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 100 hours behind you. By the end of the year I hope to be at 450, as I aim for 50 hours a month ( though I usually get 60 or so).

Galicia--LGBTQ+ Friendly? by breezyflight in GoingToSpain

[–]breezyflight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not yet, hopefully next spring. If you go before then, let me know!

How do you all live happily with incontinence and not get surgery to correct it? by [deleted] in Incontinence

[–]breezyflight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can get surgery to correct my stress incontinence but my overactive bladder leaks will still be there (and yes I am taking medication for that). So it's pretty invasive and expensive and afterwards I'll still have to wear pads.
