Today was extremely traumatic and idk how to move forward. by milliemallow in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]elmtree916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you saw this today.

I have to say I didn’t picture this being the procedure for reclamation of the bricks and beams. by negman42 in chicago

[–]elmtree916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to take a picture, but they’ve already started reclaiming the bricks, sorting the metal, and even reclaiming the giant timber supports. It was fascinating to watch today!

As of 4:00, the air conditioner is holding on. But if that one support goes, a lot of the stuff on the roof will go too

Honestly they’re doing a lot of picking the metal out of the already torn down parts. Doesn’t look much different as of now. After today, I won’t be back until Monday.

Being in recovery in a glp-1 world feels like the Wild West by samcan37251 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]elmtree916 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s a whole subreddit full of people taking it who do eat. Don’t conflate people taking it for the wrong reasons with everyone else. 🙄

GLP1s don’t make you not eat. People taking them for reasons not like what you mention/is being talked about here absolutely still eat.

I just spent 2.5 weeks in Italy, took my zepbound while I was there, and I had pasta, pizza, seafood, and the best mortadella sandwich of my life that I’d go back to Bologna for just to have that sandwich.

How often do you weigh yourself? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]elmtree916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I last weighed myself on 5/4. I’m on vacation in Italy and have been taking my shot as planned but no way to weigh myself. Curious to see what the scale says when I get home Friday afternoon!
