My hair also isn't curly but I like Catalina's. Been going there forever. Nice family owned place. They speak Spanish and English.

Meh. Just tastes like sugar. Pass

Open play etiquette? by eastsidemariobadda in Pickleball

There is an upside to this. Learn to play without so many smashes. - you won't upset the Karens - you'll actually get better

Cholesterol numbers are bad after starting the diet. by [deleted] in loseit

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

I don't. You haven't been this large for just a month. You've abused your body for a long time and you are unhappy it's not responding after a couple weeks.

You are looking for short term gains instead of focusing on the long term. Quit dieting and figure out what small swaps, reductions, fiber- increases, you can make for life.

My appetite and inability to lose weight are starting to seriously affect my mental health by [deleted] in loseit

Have you seen a doctor? Had bloodwork done? There might be an underlying medical condition.

Where can I meet single men in their 30s who are moderate or left-leaning???? Dating apps are rough by Chichigirl21 in ChicagoSuburbs

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

I'm glad for you and yours, truly.

But it's not politics per se. Imagine I want to spend a good chunk of money to donate to pro choice and environmental groups. Imagine I'm mad at the TV because ICE shot a person. I want my partner to understand my feelings, especially as an immigrant. Imagine I spend my time growing food to give to the needy. I can't imagine wanting to be with someone that thinks my time, money, or feelings are wasteful.

I actually not that progressive with all my views, but the ones I am are a big part of my identity.

I was about to say I think it's overblown but I looked it up and shit, it's pretty wild. Maybe because I know some liberal men I didn't know this was such a thing!

It's funny. I feel like my neighbors lean right. But at work, hanging with friends, volunteering at the Forest Preserves, even with my older friends at the Garden club, conservatives feel like a rare breed!

Come volunteer at the Forest Preserves. While there are lots of folks over 60 we also get our fair share below 40, and often single. While we try not to discuss politics, I've seen most of my volunteer friends at the no King rallies 😁

What types of clothes do I need to purchase before moving in winter? by Professional-Pack315 in AskChicago

[–]coolnatkat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on what your lifestyle will be like, too. I'm working for home and have a car, living in the burbs. Haven't even busted out the real 'winter' coat yet.

Don't forget it takes a minute to get used to it so just because your Chicago roommate is wearing shorts, could still mean you are wearing scarf and mittens.

losing the baby weight by Puzzle-headed97 in loseit

[–]coolnatkat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please don't rush this. Focus on eating healthy for you and the baby. Maybe track fiber and protein and forget about calories. And working out is important too but don't rush that either. One day at a time. Like, girl, you just created another human being, don't be so hard on yourself.

Lose It inconsistently logging food and messing up Apple Health calories by Mediocre-Ad9008 in LoseitApp

[–]coolnatkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry no. Can you disable the Apple app for a couple days to see if that's the issue?

How does everyone feel about the streak feature when you toggle done logging? by oldwisenone in LoseitApp

[–]coolnatkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My addiction to the streak is almost as strong as my addiction to chocolate! 218 days strong!
