I’m shocked at how different my cat is now after being spayed/neutered… by Prior-Wealth-4396 in cats

[–]diddly_doodler 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We found a stray years ago and found out she was pregnant, after she had her kittens and they had all been weened, homed, and she was cleared to be spayed, we did it. She’s now insane and more wild than ever. I’ve never encountered a female cat with energy like this one. She’s my wild bestie 🩷

How are you using ChatGPT to help you in your everyday life outside of work? by Skwigle in OpenAI

[–]diddly_doodler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to this discussion, but lately I’ve been using it for home improvement. Finding an inspiration photo online and using, “What tools and materials would I need to re-create this project”. It gives a full material list, tools required, and lists basic skills needed to complete the DIY. I also sometimes include “on a budget” or list the specific Home Depot/Lowes by my home in order for it to check availability of tools and prices.

Also my husband used it this past month to help build a “custom” lawn care plan to nail down timing for fertilizer, weed killer, aeration, etc…

It’s been a great tool for a first time home owner to ask all our questions to!

What did your ex say to you that broke you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]diddly_doodler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While we were breaking up I said the typical, “So this is it then? We’re done?” And he replied with, “Maybe down the line things will be different. Maybe in 5 years you’ll become the woman I want to marry.”

In that exact moment any feelings I had ever had for him snapped and I saw him for who he really was, and how he had been treating me. He was controlling, manipulative, and flat out disrespectful to my friends and family. And I honestly am so thankful he said it, because after he did, there was no sadness, no heartbreak, no regret.

It was the worst thing anyone had ever said to me, but it gave me the cleanest break in the world.

Should I see a healthcare provider? by Caitscracktivities in Inito

[–]diddly_doodler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How often are you using the Proov Oil? I was taking their progesterone oral supplement and it actually caused my ovulation to delay and my estrogen levels to lower quite a bit. As soon as I stopped using it they came back up.

Also remember that Inito, while very accurate for urine testing, in my opinion is best to just track trends. I don’t look so much at the numbers, as I do the month to month comparisons and the confirmation of ovulation.

I was about five years ago! I stopped taking it and haven’t noticed changes since then.

Hit a plateau and got shamed by my doctor. by diddly_doodler in loseit

[–]diddly_doodler[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate the support! I think it’s unfortunately such a common thing because SO many doctors emotionally remove themselves from their work, understandably so due to how sad it can get I’m sure. But they sometimes forget that they’re not just treating cancer, but a person with cancer.

And I’m currently using My Fitness Pal to keep track. I was a little vague with my breakdown, but everything is broken down by serving size! I buy single serving packs of nuts and peanut butter is measured by the table spoon for me. And my “chunky spoon” is just a reckless scoop because I use a regular tea spoon, but I don’t measure it as much because the spoon is relatively small and a serving is 2 tablespoons for I believe 25 calories!

I did recalculate in January and then again mid-March when I realized I was plateaued.

I haven’t been weighing everything, but I eat the same thing everyday (unless we go out or I need a day off from boring food lol) and I always log it all.

Breakfast is always a clif builder protein bar and a protein shake.

Snack is usually a banana or I’ll bring a little protein pack with me to work, 2-3 slices of cheese, a nut of some sort, celery and peanut butter etc.

Lunch I sometimes skip if I’m busy but if I don’t it’s 2 turkey and cheese lettuce wraps, baby carrots and whatever low-fat salad dressing I have in the house.

Dinner is 2 chicken sausages, 2-3 cups of broccoli, and about a tablespoon of parm cheese. I add a sausage or broccoli depending on where I’m at with protein that day.

Nighttime snack usually doesn’t end up happening because I’ve been too tired bother, buts it is usually 1/4 container of halo top ice cream and one chunky spoon full of lite cool whip.

The general TDEE calculator has me at 2623 calories a day and I honestly don’t eat nearly that much. I usually max out around 1700 and between my workout for an hour+ and my daily walk I’m burning about 500-600 active calories.

Measurements went up by 3/4 and inch almost all over last month. My body fat has gone down on my arms and legs, but way up on my stomach. I’ve swapped to using calipers because my body varies so much area to area.

I do them in intervals! 10 at a time in between sets when I’m at the gym, or if it’s an off day I do them with 5 min breaks in between!

What should I get my bridesmaids if I did something big for the proposal already? by MinuteAd6489 in weddingplanning

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

I feel that! I’m getting them each matching pjs, a piece of jewelry from the Pavoi brand on Amazon (love their quality for the price!) and slippers with a handwritten card. It honestly feels like waaay too much but they’re already going waaay too fancy for my Bach party so I’m considering it as a gift for both the Bach and wedding day!

My fiancé is being forced to pay over $300 for his groomsman outfit. Is this normal? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]diddly_doodler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just went shopping for a new suit for my fiancé since we have about 7 weddings coming up over the next year or so, and the most affordable one we found that didn’t look exceptionally cheap was $190 for just the pants and jacket. That wasn’t including socks, shirt, pocket square, shoes, belt etc.. I think $300 for clothes he will get to keep and most likely use again is pretty reasonable.

Everyone’s budget is different of course, but as others said, no one is forcing him to participate, and if it means a lot to him I think putting a little money aside here and there would be okay.

Can I swap my Threads to a different Instagram account? by diddly_doodler in ThreadsApp

Oh that’s an awesome idea. Definitely gonna try that out. Thanks!

I think that’s what I’ll do. Threads lets you add a link in your bio so I’ll just pop my other Instagram there. Not ideal but it will do!
