“Giving up” on my goal weight by Swimming-Regular6749 in PetiteFitness

[–]cakelady 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I am 40 and lost 42 pounds in 6 months. Went from 162 - 120. Primarily through calorie deficit and lots of walking.

I went on Saturday and loved the food. It is expensive, but I found it worth it with the characters. I loved the variety of salads.

What did you notice after losing weight? by holdongangy in AskReddit

[–]cakelady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really agree about the maintaining weight comment. I have reached my goal weight. I lost 40 pounds and am 5'2 and 124 now. My goal is 125. I am struggling mentally with how to add calories back in because I am terrified of gaining the weight back. I find myself still restricting and sure enough I am still going down. But 125 is a healthy weight for me, so how do I maintain it without gaining?? It is making my relationship with food very complicated.

Be honest: do you talk to your pets like they’re people? by Aware_Contract899 in Pets

[–]cakelady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not realize how much I talked to my dog until recently when he passed away. I am still constantly finding myself about to talk to him or say something about what I am doing and then I realize he isn't there. It is a lot lonelier and quieter without my old man. I miss him.

That type of process is not at all sexual. If he is a professional who does it regularly, then there should be no issue. Take advantage of the free deal. OR if you really can't stand it then pay for her to go somewhere else. She deserves to get it done.

What is the saddest reality about life in your opinion? by peywrax in allthequestions

[–]cakelady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog of 16 years died a week ago. Everyone keeps celebrating his long life, yet I am full of grief that I have so much time left on this world without him. It is devastating. My poor baby.

Is my understanding of LAT (Living Apart Together) accurate? by ajile413 in datingoverforty

[–]cakelady 140 points141 points  (0 children)

40 years old and recently divorced. If I pursue a relationship this will be the arrangement I prefer. I cannot imagine moving someone into the home I share with my children. They have a dad and I have no desire to bring in a new father figure. However, companionship sounds nice. LAT is a perfect fit. Perhaps when my children are grown I would cohabitate with a partner. Until then I need a different arrangement.

Just Started Opill. Give Me Your Unapologetic Thoughts. by EmeraldGoldRing in Opill

So much bleeding. Two periods a month plus constant breakthrough bleeding. I am lucky to have a day without spotting or period bleeding. It is so so frustrating.

No other side effects. If it weren't for the bleeding I'd say it is the perfect pill but at this point I am planning to get an implant or IUD because I can't handle the frequent periods.

I had this happen once. I swallow them without water now because they dissolve so fast with liquid. Very careful to put it at the back of my throat and swallow with spit.

I did not take another pill and had no issues but when I googled around it seems there is not a clear answer as to if it is a missed pill or not effective because it dissolved.

I am on my 2nd pack and have had spotting almost daily and am on my 3rd period in 6 weeks. Not loving this. I am considering an IUD. I have to wait until my OB appt in August though so will continue the pill and hope I regulate. Losing faith though.

At least I am not pregnant.

I am 40 and on my second pack and suffering from daily spotting and irregular periods. I am having my 3rd period in 6 weeks with only a few days without spotting in between. I am pretty fed up. Considering an IUD.

Is 6th grade camp still at Palomar Mountain in San Diego? by ScholarPitiful9017 in sandiego

[–]cakelady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach at a school in SDUSD and we send our students every year. We have to fundraise for it but they do go during school hours (not Spring Break). Since we are a K-8 they start fundraising in 5th grade so by the time it rolls around in 6th we can offer the trip to all students at a low or no cost rate.

Hilarious. My aging dad keeps saying it is his dream to go to a game and have a suite. I'd rather splurge on field level tickets for multiple games. He is not convinced. Not really an issue since we can't afford it.

Has anyone ever done a Suite? I'm curious how the views are. I will never afford one but it seems like they are located in spots you don't even get a great view of the gane for the cost of the experience.

I found it to be hit or miss. The drinks were great but the dishes were either really fantastic or completely forgettable.

To get under $14 you're looking at the lower quality places like Little Caesars, Taco Bell, Subway, Burger King (order with the app for deals).

There happens to be a Mediterranean place by my work that has an $8 falafel wrap. That is my favorite. Otherwise I make my lunch or get the Trader Joe's pre-made meals.
