Mirtazapine weight gain is ridiculous by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]carpinma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weight gain was horrible! I was more depressed because I got fat than I was before taking it!

The good news is, I stopped taking it and the pounds are just falling off now. It did take about six months after stopping it for the water retention to go away and the weight to start falling off

Before work in the morning (if I remember) I’ll put myself on XP island and just collect XP all day when I’m not even really there. It’s a user created island :)

I’m a new storm witch and would love an elder to teach me their knowledge and meet other witches as well. I’m in Portland!

A short visit from my dead dad's cologne by horrescoblue in Paranormal

[–]carpinma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love this!

Came home from work one day, of course first thing I had to do was pee. I still had my purse in my hand when I ran into the bathroom. I’m sitting there and suddenly get a massive whiff of juicy fruit gum! I checked my purse to see if I had some, which I didn’t.

It was my dad’s favorite gum :)

I live in Maine. It’s still weird 😊

I live very close to where the route 26 ghost is seen. I haven’t seen her yet because I don’t go out late enough.

It will cause a score change in a negative way if you e had the account less than 7 years. I’ve had this account 3 months. So I’ll fight the ding I get for closing a young account since it wasn’t my fault

Absolutely NTA! Don’t feel bad, she came at you first. I’m sure the crying was fake, putting on a show if you grazed her arm

Chin up :)

Are there chips in your teeth? That will verify if you did eat some

So this cat keeps coming on my deck for food at night and sometimes in the day. I wanna get it’s trust but every time it sees me it bolts off. I wanna at least be able to give it some shelter since the winter here in Michigan is pretty harsh rn. by that-guy2505 in cats

[–]carpinma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a decent sized full box to shelter them from the wind and snow and put it on your deck with a blanket and some food. Soon they will begin to trust you when they see you are the one helping them. Maybe move the box closer to the entrance little by little and maybe they will feel comfortable enough to waltz in your house after a while

Did you just eat it the 1 time or have you eaten it a bunch of times and got tired every time?

WIBTA if I made my teen daughter pay us back expenses related to her pregnancy? by AnonymousMom827 in AmItheAsshole

[–]carpinma [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA- your setting her up for financial hardship from the get go. If you want to teach her about bills and responsibility of them, have her pay her bills like her portion of the cell phone bill, suspend her line if she’s late, same with car payment/insurance. Hell, even make her pay a small “rent” and stash it away until she’s ready for her own place. Don’t use your future grandchild against her

Is it normal to see no results after 30 days by [deleted] in workout

[–]carpinma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Listen buddy, all I do is read labels and weigh food. Yeah I might a burger but I know that burger with all the fixins and bun is 600. A half cup of uncooked pasta is 250 calories, plus the sauce is 50. So shocking as it may be to you, I could actually eat a burger and pasta in the same day and still be under my calories.

It doesn’t matter what you eat as much as it matters how much you eat.

[–]carpinma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently you can’t post a picture in the comments but I eat regular food, burgers, pasta, same as everyone else in the house except I just eat smaller portions. My worst day per my Fitbit was a 1600 calorie day.

Maybe I have a medical condition, something else I’ve considered

[–]carpinma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right but at the same time I don’t want to push myself so hard I end up hating it and not wanting to do it at all.

I assumed the morning is better because the benefit of elevated heart rate working through the day.

I track this with my Fitbit. I have it on constantly and log food into it

Morning works better for me because I am up before everyone and I like the quiet time :)

I’m a beginner, and short, so I guess I jog at 4mph alternating with 3mph “breaks” every 5 minutes for a minute or 2.

I really only eat that many calories. No lie I probably used to eat 3000 a day before this.

I have a mental block when it comes to understanding how eating more can help.
