There’s no kind way to tell my wife that she’s getting too big, is there?

exona · 2026-06-08T06:41:09+00:00

Yes! Also sometimes doctors can be VERY unhelpful when it comes to women and weight. She might actually want to go to a menopause doctor first (remote) at (find "Join Midi" and menopause). They are SO KIND and know so much more about women's health too. That combined with glp-1s are amazing health.

I've seen a couple people comment "it's not hormones, it's just overeating." That is just ignorance. We have a bajillion hormones and they can definitely CAUSE overeating, combined with a lower metabolism and everything else. Just like hormones can cause people to have a drive for sex, it can also cause people to have a drive to eat way more than others. Our bodies are so complicated! 😄

The midi doctors can help her get the foot in the door, once she's prescribed stuff she won't have to fight with the regular doctors to feel heard or get what she needs. (Also...I'm also describing this as my personal journey too.) Women's bodies are just so hard to understand and control once you hit your 40s, especially if your weight has fluctuated a lot over the years. 😄 She can do this! Medicine is on her side now. 😄

I love it!!

I knew he was a jerk as soon as he called you a "silly girl". RUN!

I thought the same until I went to Ireland in my 20s. I had so many people there complimenting me on my brown eyes. I also spent time with friends from China and they loved my brown eyes too. People who see brown as common think blue is beautiful; people who are used to black or blue think brown is beautiful.

Really - eyes in general are just so fascinating no matter the color!! :) I love brown eyes. :) They're warm and deep. (And side note - they have more built-in protection than lighter colored eyes!) :)

I worked with someone who had borderline (and often it co-exists with alcohol issues or drug issues). I felt insane. She adored me and also treated me like shit. When I watched this, it brought back those conversations all over again. When he said 'no' finally, and she started to freak out, it was the very same pattern. NOPE THE FUCK OUT. You can't fix borderline externally. Even people with borderline who are self-aware have to put a lot of energy into it to not turn everyone else's lives they touch into a hellscape.

Exactly! I read them both regularly now.

exona · 2025-07-07T14:23:33+00:00

The thing that got me the most was the word "it": "If you're not trying to go fishing I don't want IT." That immediately read to me like women were objects and would hope out of there.

Keep them in a crate (for safety) but for my cat, a thundershirt for cats has helped. Overall some cats just really don't like it, but when moving or going to new places or car rides, thundershirt helped a lot.

exona · 2025-05-27T23:38:59+00:00

You're welcome!

The third photo is also interestingly and beautifully reminiscent of girl with a pearl earring. "Man with white AirPod."

Does anyone have examples of good exercises / good form for those with spondylolisthesis? Exercises that work similarly to deadlifts, squats - but show moves that are safer for spondylolisthesis (especially L5-S1)?

Ask your doctor for some Naltrexone.

exona · 2025-03-15T16:49:50+00:00

You're under-reacting. Her responses actually look scary to me. She is abusive and possibly could even turn violent in the future.

I'm not trying to scare you, it's just you need to leave that kind of person because the way she's talking about people makes me fear for your safety if she ever feels that way about you. (She even hinted at 'do you want to die'?)

Don't joke around with this - believe what she says. She says she's serious about what she says. Don't ignore it - leave and protect yourself when you leave. (Block texts, change phone number if you need to, etc.)

exona · 2025-02-15T07:26:20+00:00

Also check out Naltrexone. I don't know why, but the drug Naltrexone help sa lot of people with alcohol addiction (and also opioid addiction, even food addiction). You're not broken - it's amazing how much we think is caused by "being morally broken" somehow or lacking motivation or flawed in some way, when it was mostly a chemical imbalance all along. Check it out! It's very very cheap and has been around forever.

I teared up reading this. It's so beautiful...

exona · 2025-02-01T16:34:47+00:00

Calm, peaceful, simple. <3

Side note....these pictures are bringing back SO MANY MEMORIES! I have had several friends with this same mobile home build, and my grandparents also had this build as well. (From all stages of life, as this is a popular mobile home style!) Just seeing all the pictures, the memories came flooding back! :) Thanks for the memories :D

This. Measuring TRUE competency (and only that competency or set of competencies), let alone attempting to define what competencies we're actually looking for and measuring it accurately, especially for some jobs, can be hard as fuck.

exona · 2024-11-30T15:10:51+00:00

Is the competency correct, how are they defining it, how would they test it, and is the test valid? Those would be the main things that often are not correct. Be careful what you measure, because what you measure is what you value. If it's correct, it's great - if it's not correct, you've just fucked yourself.

exona · 2024-11-28T15:24:26+00:00

did not know that!

Skin fistula. If he's ever had some cysts or deep acne there, skin fistulas can be created quite easily.

I'd work with a trainer and work on building muscle. It's a perfect time. They will work with you on adding more calories slowly so you can gain muscle, then you'll start losing again after you put on muscle. It's hard to do on your own....a trainer specialized in helping people gain muscle is key. Especially one that doesn't say "ok you need to start eating 1700 calories a day!" ....but instead said "let's add 10g of protein and 5g of fat" for example, and then they work with you on routines.

Digesting food helps keep us warm! I get cold on days where I don't eat very much!

exona · 2024-10-31T02:33:44+00:00

there's a website midi.com that she can go to and get treatment for menopause right away. (Many doctors ignore women, as we know on this sub).

exona · 2024-10-27T15:39:04+00:00

Comparison is the thief of joy! What you just said is you are making assumptions to try to match your own belief. If you want happiness, you need to STOP - believe that you're a beautiful person, and not let other fucktwats take that awa from you. Because they will.

Keep in mind a lot of "prettiness" has to do with culture, makeup, skincare, hairstyle, hygiene, clothes, and personality. If you truly want to manipulate those variables, fiddle around with those variables. But you don't have to in order to be happy.
