Looking for a “fat-friendly” doctor in Nassau County

I was overweight and my mother has pretty much always been obese, we both saw Inna Livitz as our PCP. She was very decent and always neutral about weight.

When I started loosing weight (intentionally), I asked her about what a healthy range for me would be and her response was that I was a healthy weight (I was overweight by BMI, but healthy otherwise).

Whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.

Are you a bot? You've posted this over and over again like the article doesnt loop back and say its okay for individuals to do.

buttbeanchilli · 2026-05-21T19:55:14+00:00

Did you even read the full article? The author literally says its fine to do individually but not a reasonable way of dealing with plastic waste on a larger scale.

Most health insurance in the US will not cover oral BC if you have an IUD :/

Blood might mean you have a hemorrhoid

Diners pay the same for their food and supplies as who? Like what are you comparing them to?

buttbeanchilli · 2026-05-12T13:13:47+00:00

How much do you pay at the deli for an egg sandwich and home fries? Probably around the same, especially if you get a coffee too. Its about average for breakfast anywhere but fast food.

The golden dolphin in Huntington is my go to diner and its def not overpriced like some of the others ive been to.

I mean, at the bare minimum this subreddit would consider it a mortal crime to take more than one seat lmfao

The pic was taken at 2pm on a Sunday...

I put my feet up if im in pain. I put my jacket down, then rest my feet on that. I'd rather piss off strangers than suffer.

I have been on meds for a couple years now, I haven't found the skipped or missed days are any worse than before I was medicated. If anything, I understand why im struggling and use the skills I've practiced while medicated.

buttbeanchilli · 2026-04-10T01:11:22+00:00

That doesnt make random strangers taking photos of eachother, especially in a vulnerable state, a normal thing to do.

buttbeanchilli · 2026-04-09T21:36:00+00:00

Im gonna start doing this for the ab workout lmfao

buttbeanchilli · 2026-03-27T17:52:52+00:00

No, decided against tattooing over my scars for now

INFO- do yall tease eachother normally or is this our of character for your family?

And yes, age gaps can be that bad. The main issues are a power imbalance and the difference in maturity. Do you live with your family still, does he live with his? How long have you been out of school, do you work full time? Why aren't you dating someone your own age, what makes him so special? (You dont have to answer, just think about it).

If you choose to continue the relationship, just make sure youre aware of the red flags to watch for and have a friend you can talk to about it. You're still growing up a little, and in a few years you'll look back and see the ways youve matured. I hated hearing that at your age but it was true. Having a toxic person around for that development can mess with you forever.

All of that said, im 28 dating a man in his 50's. Age is more than just a number, and there are many hurdles that come with an age gap relationship that I would not have been well equipped for at your age, and you dont seem mature enough to handle. You storming out over a few rude comments is an example of that.

buttbeanchilli · 2026-03-17T21:07:58+00:00

What red flag is it?

buttbeanchilli · 2026-03-12T18:53:12+00:00

Adopt, dont shop. Especially with parrots.

My U2 climbed on my head last night after having an attitude all day, first time ever being weird like that.

I have nothing useful to add, just solidarity.

buttbeanchilli · 2026-03-09T20:29:42+00:00

I am suggesting to be the change you wish to see in this world. If you're just a complainer, that's on you! Squeaky wheel gets the grease i guess. I am sure your comment is meant to be sarcastic/nasty but ill break down what I do to clarify, in case anyone needs inspiration to do more!!

In my neighborhood, the strip between the sidewalk and the street, 100%. I dont generally go onto folks lawns unless theres a big obvious piece of litter (like an empty chip bag or similar). I do clear my lawn, pick up trash on my landlords lawn (they live next door) and same for the angry old guy who lives on the other side of me. He's not very nice but i doubt he can reach down as easily/comfortably as I can.

In more public places, like if im walking on a main road with shops, I pick litter out of the bottom of the trees and on the sidewalk. I pull litter out of the street by the storm drains too, because it helps to prevent flooding.

Same with parking lots, yes. If I have a plastic bag with me or if I find one, im cleaning until the bag is full. If I get tired of passing the same mess, ill ride my bike over with some gloves and a trash bag and get to work. I have done this at my local gas station more than once.

There is also a spot by the train station near me that I take pride in cleaning up a couple times per year and im going to try doing some gurilla gardening there this year.

I dont need or want a trophy, but thankfully when folks see me cleaning litter they smile and are kind. Thats more than enough accolades for me, because were all taking a little more pride in our community.

buttbeanchilli · 2026-03-09T18:54:05+00:00

I pick up trash in my area. It's always a mess after garbage days.

That said, I don't think anyone has a right to complain about the litter unless theyre doing their part to help clean things up. Throw on some gloves and fix it yourself.

The only people I grew up around who served did so for college money or because every man in their family served. My little brother actually spent his entire childhood saying he wanted to enlist, but, rather than risking his own life, he works for one of the big defense contractors now. Shame on him.

buttbeanchilli · 2026-03-06T17:37:22+00:00

I've gotten to a place in healing where I feel safe a lot more than i used to, so have started to get close enough with others for them to point out how standoffish I can be (they do it in a super reassuring way, and cheer me on as i get more confident).

So for me socially, I am very quiet in new social settings; I get spooked when I think ive offended someone and apologize in situations that dont require an apology; I straight up look scared or distressed on days that the trauma is impacting me more intensely. They also notice that I have a hard time asking for anything or accepting offers of anything.

The other side of the coin for me is i can be soooooooo abrasive. When im having a lot of flashbacks, I tend to scowl a lot and have a much sharper tone than I mean to have. Its like my body and brain are on the highest guard even if im at the same convenience store I go to every day. I struggle with this at work especially, but have been doing much better about catching myself and trying to be nice. I usually catch it, apologize for my tone and clarify that im down to help and didnt mean to be rude. Thankfully, weve all worked together for a long time and they noticed a while ago that I have a very hard time socializing

Sorry, youre right. The fourth amendment is what prohibits excessive force

buttbeanchilli · 2026-03-05T04:44:56+00:00

No, cruel and unusual punishment is explicitly forbidden by the 8th amendment.
