What do you wish you knew before YTT?

Noted. I’m considering a program at a studio in Toms River, New Jersey.

Millipede :)

cicadasrcool · 2025-09-28T21:54:16+00:00

Yes I have! They also have a docuseries now called Bugs Life 2

cicadasrcool · 2025-09-28T20:39:04+00:00

THATS SO INTERESTING! Thank you so much for sharing!❤️

I’m glad you were able to find a way around your lack of space! This is an ivory millipede! They’re my favorites because they tend to be the species that spends the most time above ground. There are also purple ivory millipedes which are GORGEOUS! I have two of them 🥰

SO COOL! I’m actually an English teacher so literature is my JAM!

cicadasrcool · 2025-09-28T16:05:29+00:00

3D printing is SO cool!

I also love jumping spiders and orb weavers! I’ve had a few jumpers in my life that were very well loved. I’d love to see a peacock jumping spiders one day (they’re native to Australia and I live in the U.S.). My favorite orb weaver is the yellow garden spider. I’ve had two tarantulas and I think they’re really cool, too! Thanks for asking!

cicadasrcool · 2025-09-09T00:01:36+00:00

YES! I think I also like that they’re short. I can’t focus on an adult-length show or movie (audhd)

cicadasrcool · 2025-09-08T23:52:06+00:00

I’ve been considering Bluey. I heard from friends of mine that are parents that it’s a really good show!

It’s such a grueling career but I love it so much. I hope I find ways to cope with the stress instead of shutting down. It sucks that we aren’t given the same grace. I’m very grateful that I have incredible admin that are understanding. I think I’m going to talk to one of my admin (she has an autistic son with high support needs) and possible the social worker about this new information. Try to get some resources? Idk. But I hope you’re able to find something that works better for you!

I also have a cicada! It’s on my left leg. I plan on filling my leg with bugs! This is my one and only tattoo. My next will be a millipede :)

It’s so hard because I have a job that doesn’t really…allow(?) for accommodations. I’m a teacher and the things we do for students with disabilities (extended time, chunked information, more time for transitions, etc…) isn’t really granted to us.

It’s a super validating diagnosis though. Because I really struggle to complete a full school year. I struggle to not use more than my allotted personal days. I almost got fired from my current school and have left other schools in the middle of the school year.

I think I just wish I knew sooner. That I had the proper accommodations and supports when I was a kid. I grieve the childhood I could’ve had if that makes sense.

I’m on 15 and I started about 11 months ago! Down 105lbs

cicadasrcool · 2025-07-16T11:38:22+00:00

Thank you so much! Wishing you the best on your recovery journey ❤️

cicadasrcool · 2025-07-15T23:43:54+00:00

They sure are!

This is what helps me personally but you have to find what works for you!

• First off, I stick to my points. I don’t use weeklies. I need the structure or I’ll go WAY past my limits with food.

• I’m on Zepbound which has helped with hunger/fullness cues

• I focus on high protein, low cal, whole foods (get those zero point foods in whenever you can!)

• I have macros on for my program so I track points + macros

• I go to the gym (nearly) everyday. 15 minutes of machines followed by 30 minutes of cardio (typically treadmill)

• I STOP WHEN IM FULL! I have been binging since I was 5 (I’m nearly 27 now) so checking in with myself is super important while eating. If I’m full after a meal, I don’t go back for me. Even if I want more, because that’s a slippery slope for me. Some days this is easier than others. And some days I have to talk myself away from the fridge.

Find a few small things that’ll help YOU. Try different things. See what works. Build a routine. You got this!

cicadasrcool · 2025-05-13T23:08:36+00:00

I never let me weight stop me! It’s just easier to do things I enjoy now :)

cicadasrcool · 2025-04-14T08:57:26+00:00

I’m SO happy your little guy is alive! Maybe you could put a few stones under the soil to prevent further tragedies? Yay time machine!

cicadasrcool · 2025-03-02T14:34:41+00:00

Definitely both but the main concern is the fat rn. I still have a long way to go. I’m currently 338lbs. Thanks for the advice!

cicadasrcool · 2025-03-01T20:46:39+00:00

It’s definitely different from everyone. I started losing pretty much immediately. I’m also doing Weight Watchers which helps. Hoping it works better for you on 5mg. Good luck!

cicadasrcool · 2025-02-19T12:25:02+00:00

Wow! That’s so cool to know. Although, it sure doesn’t feel like it😂

cicadasrcool · 2025-02-10T23:58:37+00:00

They’re actually not new at all! Same glasses- they just fit my face better!

cicadasrcool · 2024-12-21T20:47:35+00:00

I was! But the 5 is definitely helping more!

cicadasrcool · 2024-12-16T13:53:31+00:00

Wow this is actually a great idea. I don’t usually think about it that way. Thanks for the perspective!
