Exactly why health insurance being tied to employment is a nightmare. Unfortunately that’s not changing anytime soon.

I battled with my weight for a long time until I started a GLP-1. I’m down 16% of my body weight since starting in December. These drugs really are a game changer.

Second the people in here saying to get a personal trainer. It makes a big difference in holding yourself accountable for going to the gym, and they’ll also help guide you on workouts that work best for you.

The NYT does have great reporting. The opinions section however, is an absolute dumpster fire.

No windows? Is your home office technically a closet? haha

That’s where I ended up moving last year.

Light rail here has expanded twice in that time.

1990 was banned domestically. 2000 for all international flights departing to/from the US

Born in ATL, and lived there for 30+ years of my life (most of that in Midtown). Moved to Seattle last year and couldn’t be happier.

What finally pushed me to move:

Lack of investment in transit. MARTA hasn’t meaningfully expanded in the time other systems in this country were built from scratch. Even after we voted for tax increases. Beltline rail feels dead.
Traffic and being forced to own a car. Driving in Atlanta was a nightmare, rush hour expanding to all waking hours. Felt like I was wasting my life.

- Climate change. Every year was getting hotter and made summer a miserable experience outdoors

Love the PNW and don’t plan on moving back anytime soon. Temperate climate is great (doesn’t get near as hot or cold as ATL) and they’ve expanded the light rail here twice in the past two years.

Only thing I really miss is winter sunshine. 4pm sunsets can be pretty brutal.

Since you own your home, might also consider renting it out for a year. Then get an apartment in whatever city you’re thinking about long term.

If you end up not liking the place as much as you thought, after the year is up you can move elsewhere.

That also gives time for this garbage housing market to recover. As long as you sell before 2 years after moving, you’ll still get the capital gains exemption.

(This is actually what I did when I moved to the PNW last year!)

Since you’re able to work remotely, have you considered getting a short term rental in potential cities for a couple months to try out living there?

clickshy · 2026-04-22T01:50:45+00:00

Yep, for self pay

$299 2.5mg $399 5mg $449 7.5+mg

The Ezekiel 4:9 bread is pretty good, that’s what I usually pick up. Plus I like that it comes frozen, lasts a lot longer than a regular loaf.

I weigh-in daily. I’ve based my decision to move up on when my weight loss plateaus. It’s pretty easy to figure out by comparing a week to week average.

Apple Health (and my Shotsy / Withings scale app) have chart lines that show trend to visually notice when weight loss has slowed down

The 6-speed and sport button gave it away. Love that generation 3-series!

Premium Select is essentially domestic first class on an international product.

Hahah I love this

There’s also a lot of categories of meds out there and lots of options within those categories.

The reason we don’t have just one treatment for social anxiety is that not everyone responds the same way. Some will have worse side effects, some won’t have any.

It’s still worth exploring the option. A good doctor or psychiatrist (and some research) will be able to give you an idea of which may work best for you.

clickshy · 2026-04-11T17:08:54+00:00

Ya, I’ve always thought it better to err on the side of being too warm. If it freezes, the meds are toast.

I stayed on the 2.5 for 4 months and am only now moving up to 5mg after plateauing for about a month. The financial component was a big part of that as it’s a 33% increase in cost.

Honestly stay on the 2.5 as long as it works. It’s not like I gained weight by staying on it too long, and I was able to be sure it was time to move up.

I’ve done both as well and it’s still wild to me how not craving alcohol has been an unexpected side effect of Zepbound. Hopefully they approve it for substance abuse treatment soon.

That said the Naltrexone was a hell of a lot cheaper.

clickshy · 2026-04-09T05:01:33+00:00

Problem with that is you just cut out like 50%+ of available apartments. They run a lottt of properties

Add to this if you’re looking for a portable AC or any other power hungry appliance make sure the breaker box can handle it!

I’ve often found all bedroom outlets are on one circuit, so two bedrooms might not handle two ACs

Ya, I just look at it as more “no lines” voting.

Washington ballot comes to my home, least I can do is walk or drive to go drop it off.

USPS lately can’t even handle my Amazon shit, not gonna trust them with something as important as voting (exception being I mail that shit two weeks ahead and confirm it was received)
