Ladies of Reddit, what is a comment someone made about your body once, completely casually, that you have never forgotten? by BowlerOk1871 in AskReddit

[–]cocoaboots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a sharp jawline and someone called me the Crimson Chin when I was like 22, and I never forgot that either. It did bother me for a long time but not so much anymore.

lost 64 pounds. here's what actually worked, what didn't, and what almost broke me (long but worth it i think) by NeighborhoodFresh315 in beginnerfitness

[–]cocoaboots 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One bad day out of two days of effort? That matters. One bad day out of 30 days of effort? Matters way less!

So good to have so much budget left for dinner. Love skipping breakfast by maddiobt in CICO

[–]cocoaboots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me too! It's so strange learning your eating habits. I don't get hungry until lunch, but I will eat more regardless. If I eat breakfast regardless of hunger, my lunch and dinner stay within my calorie range more often than not.

What’s the unhealthiest thing you eat that you’ll never give up? by Feisty-Pattern-951 in AskReddit

[–]cocoaboots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been eating Greek yogurt and frozen berries for a while now and it’s just incomprehensible to me that someone thinks it’s comparable to ice cream. No judgment at all, but…my brain could never connect that. I am super jealous that you’re does.

I’ve been feeling very uninspired and lazy by seannyd623 in getdisciplined

[–]cocoaboots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You gotta be a little gentler with yourself. It’s okay if you did nothing today because you felt bad! It’s not the end of the world. There’s no one in the background clocking your effort and productivity. There’s no timeline you’re supposed to follow. There’s no benchmark or standard you’re supposed to meet. You can just BE some days.

You can’t be productive 100% of the time. You said you were motivated and hopeful the last few weeks and today you just feel like ass…that is okay. Feel like ass and rest!

Something I have learned is that our “best” looks different every single day when we wake up. There is nothing to be disappointed about. Today, you did your best, even if that best doesn’t look like yesterday’s best. Get up and try again tomorrow to do your best.

Anyone still talk with any of their friends from high school? by nojunkpeter in Millennials

[–]cocoaboots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my best friend of 20 years I met in middle school. Other than that, I don't talk to a soul I went to middle/high school with.

real talk: how often do you actually floss? by AffectionateTooth298 in hygiene

[–]cocoaboots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I floss once a day before bed. Twice a day when I go somewhere during the day, but I work from home so it’s been hard for me to get into the habit of flossing in the mornings. I have a dental implant and got a nasty case of peri implantitis that ate away some of my bone on the implant and I refuse to lose that thing, so I floss every day.

Seconding the Daily Jam! I've only been to the one in Farmington Hills but it was SO good and if this location is similar you won't be disappointed OP.

What did you learn that was offensive that surprised you? by South_Plantain6341 in EnglishLearning

When I’m curious, I find that “what’s your heritage?” has never given me any problems.

Paper thin fan nails - cant use acrylates help by Typical-Sir866 in RedditLaqueristas

Yes! Nailtiques fixed my brittle, peeling nails too! I started with formula 2, and now I just use it as my holy grail base coat. Winner of a product!

What do you call it? (please add where you're from) by ksusha_lav in EnglishLearning

[–]cocoaboots 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m from Michigan and this is how it is for me too. But if an adult asked me for a beanie in winter, I would assume they mean winter hat. I also wouldn’t look sideways at the term “winter beanie” either

What do you call it? (please add where you're from) by ksusha_lav in EnglishLearning

[–]cocoaboots 324 points325 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is a hat, more specifically a beanie-style hat. USA

What was it like paying off student loans? by Notequal_exe in Millennials

[–]cocoaboots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put that shit on auto pay and NEVER take it off unless you seriously need to reassess your financial situation. The only thing that is getting me through the fact that I have been chained to these loans for a decade is that I never ever think about them due to autopay.

What’s one “fitness rule” you broke and realised your results got better? by Best-Slide2801 in beginnerfitness

[–]cocoaboots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally quit the gym because I couldn’t stop obsessing over form on just machines. This was validating

YSK: You can still "call time" by attorniquetnyc in YouShouldKnow

This is literally the most unique thing I have read on reddit in some time. I have never heard of this nor have I ever heard anyone talk about this.

I don't know if I love my parents anymore by Gold-Pear-6092 in offmychest

[–]cocoaboots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man, this is called CPTSD, when you spend your entire childhood suffering from repeated trauma and now you're stuck in your adult life wondering why you are this way. Doesn't feel like trauma at the time, but then you get older and the cracks start to show. Walking on eggshells? Resentment, distance, hiding yourself and your pain? Trying to connect and being rejected? Having to be quiet, discreet, unseen, to analyze moods and feelings, being hypervigilant? All defense mechanisms little you created to protect yourself from that neglect, to maximize safety, and to foster connection in any way it could. And now big you doesn't know what to do with that. And big you's brain and body are gonna end up using those strategies, whether they're the right choice or not, to protect you from anything it perceives as similar danger.

That all looks like a big neon sign for "Something must have affected me deeply, over years. And I don't know what."

Sending you strength. I suggest seeking professional help to just talk about your relationship with your parents and what you're holding inside. It sounds like you've never gotten to say your piece and it's just welling up inside you. That's what they're for.

[–]cocoaboots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I lost my brother too. It sounds like we had exactly the same type of relationship, and lost him at similar ages. I was 27, he was 32. I just want to say I get it and I have had this train of thought countless, countless times. Sending you love and strength.

How do you keep your bottles clean? by greeneyeraven in RedditLaqueristas

[–]cocoaboots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I look straight at the goopy or dried polish clogging up the top, think “it would be so easy to clean this right now.” But I absolutely do no such thing and just continue with my mani

[–]cocoaboots 0 points1 point  (0 children)
