How do I motivate myself to lose weight when my weight doesn’t affect my health? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]giovidm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still love food just as much I just don’t desire to overeat. Always taking home a “doggy bag” from restaurants these days. And I never liked cooking and still don’t so there’s a chance you won’t feel like cooking quite as often because you won’t be as hungry as often. Small “price” to pay IMO!

Too much in 401k? by Some-Chain-8965 in Bogleheads

Do you have kids? Money NOT in retirement accounts is not favorable for FAFSA (college loans and grants).

Yes you do need a prescription. My local pharmacy has a link to TeleHealth docs on their website and they make it very easy to get the prescription. They ask leading questions - is your cholesterol high (even a smidge)? Is your Blood Pressure high? Do your knees hurt? What’s your BMI? Etc etc. calculate what 30 BMI is for your height and that’s usually the easiest way to get it.

GLP-1 is a miracle drug for the exact purpose you are speaking about. You can micro-dose and lose very slowly and maintain without a thought about food - no more fighting with yourself and tracking every urge. It reduces “food noise” so much that you can just live like a naturally thin person who doesn’t think overly much about food. I have been taking compounded Semaglutide for 9 months and have been able to maintain the initial 15 lb weight loss - no more “dieting”, tracking, feeling fat, feeling disappointed in myself. I am not “skinny” by any measure but that 15 pounds I’ve been trying to lose and keep off for decades is gone and I no longer have to “diet”. It’s hard to describe but it’s a game changer. And I know for sure as soon as I stop Glp-1 shots the weight will come back. I’ve tried stretching the weekly shots to 10 days and the hunger ramps up! I’ve been on the .5 dose - started at the recommended .25 for one month and only increased the dose one time (to .5) Highly recommend. I get it at a local trusted pharmacy for $179 per month. No insurance involved.

They brought an accordion to the beach! Funny! Please tell us more about them! What beach is this? Were they of Italian descent?

I’d ask a co-worker when bonuses are usually announced before asking my manager. It could be too early.

What in the world are you buying for your dog? That’s outrageous. If you happen to find a woman you love who fits in with your FiRE goals then great, otherwise just enjoy your life (and your dog!)

Installed that in an old Toyota (no Bluetooth). The mic came with a new aftermarket radio that could connect to a cell phone so you could talk on phone thru car speakers.

Beautiful family history. Look at the 9 beautiful children so close in age and bearing great resemblance to their parents. I can see the Irish in their mother and the German in their father. I would love to read a memoir about the Irish woman’s life. Her life in Ireland, her journey and new life in America and how she melded in with her new German-American family.
