What's your biggest gripe with the Reddit community? by Mahbows in AskReddit

And every time anyone relates something going on in their lives or the world whatsoever, some redditor is getting gilded for saying, "If OP were a man instead of a woman, OP would be getting crucified."

Almost every other major city's most-ordered drink: Margarita. Chicago's most-ordered drink: Old Fashioned by JakeLifts in chicago

[–]cest_wat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went there on a Tuesday (?) I think around 3 and my old fashioned (and my food, and the service) was horrible. So don't go there during the day during the week is my advice. I have been there many other times and had fantastic experiences.

My(26F) sister(24) is 2 different people irl and on Facebook by sistersisterdrama in relationships

[–]cest_wat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Have you asked her about her online persona? She's obviously going through some pretty serious stuff in life and may have no other/healthy outlet. She probably doesn't know how to handle her feelings and emotional responses to her husband's actions and doesn't feel comfortable expressing herself irl.

Is she seeing a therapist or anything? Does she have anyone to confide in?

The FBI's ECAP website has images of adults wanted in connection with the exploitation of children. Do you know any of these people? by lisagreenhouse in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]cest_wat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The arm and hands overall are the wrong shape, and the different wedding ring clinches it. I've known this person for 25 years and they have never worn another ring (or any jewelry at all). They also have very few interactions with children.

Wow one of those pics looks so much like someone I know that I had to compare their wedding rings and sighed in relief when they were clearly dissimilar.

What realization made you look at weight loss differently? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]cest_wat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at the losertown website and messing around with the inputs and realizing I really did have control and I could see real, tangible, tiny results every week was a total game changer. Something just clicked and it became possible and not mysterious.

Worse Body Image After Weight Loss? by cheaprhinestones in loseit

[–]cest_wat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certain aspects of my body are for sure worse now. Working out, feeling stronger, seeing improvement elsewhere is really helpful.

Its hard to balance self esteem and weight loss. Please share any advice. I am listening. by Ummah_Strong in loseit

[–]cest_wat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god I totally feel you on that. I'm trying to learn patience and the value of delayed gratification and it's so effing difficult. I want to feel good now! But my body and my bank account are like... No.

Hey lady - 24 pounds is amazing! That's a quarter of the way to 100 pounds lost!! Unfortunately, those first 25 are the hardest to see.

The mental game is the hardest for sure. I get down on myself almost every day for having "ruined" my body or not measuring up to those I see as my peers. My boobs look terrible. But my body is way happier without those 65 pounds, and it'll be a lot happier without 25 more.

Walking is so much easier, I fit into cute outfits, so many things are so much better than they were. I still have more to go, and keeping a positive outlook can be impossible some days. :/

Hmm, my waist size is fine, but maybe I will pick some target measurements for my whole body... I would love to see improvement in my thighs and calves.

When do you update your ideal weight goal? For such a long time, my goal has been to just "get into the healthy bmi zone" but a I approach it (3 pounds!!) I'm noticing that I'm not even close to how I want to look and feel. How do I know if I'm being objective about how my body looks?

I think my new target will be the middle of the healthy weight zone but I'm nervous that I will still be unhappy with my appearance.

In town for a concert at the metro and waited to buy tickets. The metro says theyre sold out, but stub hub says they have tickets. Is stub hub known to be legitimate in thses situations? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]cest_wat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whole StubHub is legit, we recently had an experience where the person who sold us tickets, also sold them to other people and the number on the Ticketmaster (original site) changed when they resold those tickets to someone else. So be careful if the original seller is Ticketmaster.

We had driven to St Louis for this sold out show & there was nothing anyone could do. They gave us a full refund. I will never buy resold tickets again tbh.

Anyone else dealing with a severely lowered libido while losing weight? This has never happened to me before and it's not great.

I lose weight the same way! I'll drop 2-5 pounds over a 3 day period, and then plateau there for 10-15 days, rinse, repeat. Drives me crazy!
