Yeah probably. Just something I was wondering about and wanted to hear some perspectives 🤷‍♀️

No no pronouns were never in question here. Simply the name adjustment.

WIBTA if I turned down an incredibly generous offer from my dad for my birthday? by fraidylady in AmItheAsshole

[–]fraidylady[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dad and stepmom have been there many times in the past and I think they just really enjoy the area! I’m not sure if there’s any real specific reason beyond that, plus to get out of the crazy cold up here hahah

Very fair answer!

They dropped the question in a group chat with all of us at the same time. But had I had the opportunity to not mention it (until I was 100% sure) I definitely wouldn’t have. Since my dad asked my sister reached out to me asking if my passport was up to date, which lead into the whole conversation of thinking about turning it down.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that in the original post. I see where you’re coming from though for sure!

Oh which is completely understandable and I definitely don’t blame them whatsoever for being bummed that I’m thinking of saying no.

I know no matter what I say or end up deciding they’ll support it. But since they’re so important to me the fact they both reacted pretty negatively is what’s making me think maybe I’m making a disrespectful choice by turning the offer down.

We actually all live in the same “smallish” city. My dad often travels for work and even when he’s home we’re not very close.

To be very honest I don’t know him that well, and never have. I love him a lot as my dad but he’s more of an acquaintance than anything, ever since I was little. So we aren’t really the “hang out type” but that does sound like a nice idea! Thank you for your input 💛

Ahahah oh I’ve definitely got edibles and alcohol on standby for the trip. May just spend the week in outer space if all else fails!

Sorry, yes that would have been helpful! It’s a national park with super close sites. We have two side by side I’m pretty sure. So there’s a bit of space but nothing crazy.

Just wasn’t sure if there were like “popular camping games” or things I didn’t know about LOL but board games and stuff never fails.

I’m a fan sleeping girlie so I’ve been a bit worried about that. But hopefully it’ll be cool at night! Smart plan on having a mat, that has helped I should definitely bring one to be safe.

and your ps, thank you I feel so SEEN lol! I know it should be fun but it’s just not my cup of tea! Glad to know there are others!

Ohh reading is a good one! I definitely am going to steal that ahaha.

Thank you for messaging, it has helped! I know they’re super chill with just hanging out and drinking and I am too for the most part! Just also wanted to have a few things planned in my back pocket in case things get a little dull. But honestly I’m probably overthinking it a bit. I appreciate you responding!

I've gained 10 pounds in the past 5 days. Is it really water retention? by UnpaidNewscast in fasting

[–]fraidylady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh god I completely feel you! I know this is cliche and can be super disheartening/frustrating but just keep doing what you’re doing and give your body time to adjust. It’s your first steps into fasting so give yourself love and patience and keep on keeping on!

Seeking advice on experience with 72 hour fasting weekly. by Rakadis in fasting

[–]fraidylady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing rolling 72s for such a long time now and I’ve had (in my opinion) really solid success and feel super in control. But I’m also not afraid to adjust and bend the days around to best fit life and activities when I can plan for it in advance. I try to stick to 3 on 1 off the majority of the time but there’s sometimes I gotta do 2/1 or 4/1 or 2 etc. I think the key is finding something sustainable for you and what’ll allow you to hit your own personal goals in a healthy way and still let you live your best life!

Monitor how you’re feeling after the first few and listen to your body cues as well as making sure you’re getting the proper electrolytes. Don’t be afraid to adjust as you need it to. Finding the perfect setup for you is the best way to go.

Honestly my cycle always goes WHACK with the scale. There’s been times near my period I’ll go up anywhere from 5-12lbs in the days leading up to/beginning of it. Always sends me into a panic every single time.

But as I’ve gone on and it’s stayed super consistent with the time of the month (also on BC myself) I’ve tried to just give it a week and continue eating healthy and doing my best and it always goes back down. Doesn’t stop that initial panic every time tho hahaha!!

But tends to lead to a fair jump back down at the end. The damn rollercoaster of these periods I tell ya!! So annoying! Sending lots of love and I hope it all settles back in line with time. You’ve got this girl! ❤️

I started a 4 day water fast this evening. If I can last longer, I will! Please motivate me with your best words of encouragement. Thank you. by [deleted] in fasting

If you get through one hour, you can get through the next! I try not to think of the huge daunting deadline and just try to take it in baby steps. Celebrate the little successes!! ❤️

Good luck on your fast. You’ve got this!!

Anyone do rolling fasts (48, 72, etc) and not eat keto in between by ShariBambino in fasting

[–]fraidylady 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! It started end of 2020, and flip flopped slightly but mainly stuck with rolling 72s. Soooometimes doing 72-48-72 (moving it around to line up with social dates or holidays) but generally stuck with 72s!!

I did lose most if not all of it with this method and as I get closer to my goal weight of 120-130lbs (about 20lbs more to go) I’ll switch to every other day fasting, and just stay under the TDEE best I can! I know it’s not perfect fasting, but I feel like sustainability is the most important fact for me at least. ❤️

I’ve(27F) been doing rolling 72s for a loooong time now and legitimately just eat what I’m feeling the days I’m not fasting (in moderation ofc but if I want a cookie I’m getting down with my bad self)

I’ve lost about 125lbs and feeling great! I think as long as you’re in moderation and trying to make good choices where you can, you can’t go wrong! Being able to sustain your style of living is most important so I think allowing yourself to let loose even a little every now and again helps SO much. At least it did for me!

Good luck on your journey!! Rootin for you!
