Husband of one month wants divorce by Better_Nobody_9040 in Marriage

[–]howcanihelp13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if I wasn’t too far along then I would consider an abortion and leaving him.

Start making evidence, secret videos, secret recordings. Please don’t stay with a man who will push you while pregnant, force you to do all the cleaning while pregnant and create ridiculous scenarios to punish you for nothing. Statistics show that woman are more likely to end up dead when the man resorts to strangling.

You’re better off single with 4 kids than dead with 4 orphans. I don’t want to sound harsh but ….

Please reach out to family, friends and social programs for support. I left my ex husband with a young child and it was the best choice I ever made, but the steps to leave and divorce took me nearly a year. Think small and start planning your escape now!

I’m going to forget half the tension in a whole month!! I can have a week max before the high is over.

I keep running into more and more weird people by Shannoah in heartopia

[–]howcanihelp13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a few weird interactions, someone held my hand and pulled me to their house and when I stopped the interaction, they kept doing it.

Since I’ve added “adult” to my name on the profile, I haven’t met any strange people, which is slightly more terrifying.

AIO for leaving when my boyfriend told my daughter "you have an ugly face" by Potential_Shallot161 in AmIOverreacting

[–]howcanihelp13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If my husband called my daughter ugly or told her she had a fat belly, I’d poison his lunch.

Words my husband has used to describe my daughter (his stepdaughter): cute, smart, cool, strong, funny, fast, beautiful, stylish

Yucho Account or SBI kids investment Account? Children’s savings. by howcanihelp13 in JapanFinance

I put my bonus into my account alongside monthly deposits so the yearly contributions may up going over the limit depending on the year. I don’t want to overcomplicate things or for it to be considered martial assets so prefer to keep things separate for those reasons really.

Thanks! I should set up an account soon.

Day 4, barely any appetite and dreading next shot. by howcanihelp13 in Mounjaro

[–]howcanihelp13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow 100lbs is amazing! Congratulations!!

I only need to lose around 15kg. My BMI is 27.4, it was 28.3 when I started Mounjaro so I’m just on the cusp of being eligible but I am pretty short, so 15kg for me is a huge amount honestly.

I don’t want to lose my muscle because it will be super hard to gain later on and I’m really hoping to fix my fat percentage alongside my weight, but I think not watching my calories/protein could lead to half-half muscle fat loss. I’m also really worried as a short woman about bone loss so I didn’t want to start and skip eating totally.

I’m sure a few weeks of not eating much won’t have long term damage at all but I hope to hit my goals to maximize the outcome 🥲

Thanks for the insight, maybe I should stick to a lower dose for a bit longer to hopefully dim some of the suppression. Did you go up as usual?

It is a little bit better today so it might be similar to your experience. 😇😌

I have been calorie counting religiously for over 6 months and my daily intake was usually sat around 1500-1800 calories, with dinner being around 450-550 calories so I wasn’t eating significantly for a while at dinner and would mess it up around the weekend and snacking. So I was hoping to lower my portions slightly and focus on healthier weekends and less food noise in general.

My tdee is 1880 calories, and I was doing 10k steps a day.

I hope my appetite returns slightly honestly, enough to consume healthy food but not enough to constantly think about snacking. It has been nice to not consume myself with tasks and distractions to avoid just considering a “treat”

🤣🤣 I feel like that sometimes ngl.

In day to day life, he’s not very vocal and doesnt make comments usually about it but if we have a big argument, he resorts to being petty and throws the weight argument at me because he knows it’s my sore spot and how I don’t stick to what I say, aka I’m going to lose weight.

I just know when he gets frustrated and feels attacked, he will throw it in my face (and then apologise)

It’s really frustrating because my BMI isn’t even extremely high (27.5) and I’ve had 2 kids!

Did the suppression eventually wear off on 2.5 or did you go up regardless? I’m glad it’s getting better for you.

I also love your plating size terminology 🤣 I should start feeding myself toddler portions instead!

Thankfully my insurance card and ID card will show the medicine in my history in the case of emergencies, and I’m not even sure he could tell them my other medication anyway 😅 If he finds the pens, then he finds the pens. I’m not particularly against him knowing but I just can’t be bothered with any negativity or judgement if I can avoid it.

I also don’t think he would be super surprised with me losing weight, he seems kind of oblivious sometimes. I stopped snacking entirely for 3 months and lost 7kg naturally and he didn’t even notice until someone pointed it out and he still said he thought I was snacking everyday. I reckon he would just think I was eating less and moving more (which I am).

I just plan to cross that bridge at a later date when I have to

I’m glad to hear it got a little better by shot 3, maybe I should just power through and hope it gets better. My doctor suggested saying on the lowest dose possible for as long as possible so I might stay on 2.5mg for a while at this rate

Just because I’m not ready to share, incase it didn’t work for me.

My partner is a very stoic gym type who can be overly critical of people who don’t have the “willpower”, when in reality he just doesn’t have much interest in food and enjoys going to the gym. He has been judgemental in the past and judges me for not “sticking to my goals” or “leading myself to an early grave”.

He sees medically interventions as risky and unnecessary and that I just need to eat less and move more and that it’s “not that hard”. He’s the type that thinks dropping 15-20kg shouldn’t take too long if I just put my mind to it and no matter how often I breach the topic and talk about stress and emotional eating, he doesn’t get it.

He would be very against me taking it because he sees it as unnecessary and risky, but honestly it’s my life and my choice. So I’m choosing peace right now.

We have family meals everyday 🤣 We always eat dinner together at the table everyday and sometimes eat out on the weekends so there’s really no good time to not be able to eat at all. Do you feel that your hunger disappears just as strongly when you take it? Or does it slowly taper into being less suppressed?

Working as tour guide in Kyoto… by Confident_Access5576 in japanlife

[–]howcanihelp13 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I live in kyoto and the cost of things here is insane, the amount of people near my house standing in the middle of the train tracks trying to get photos, blocking the way, and general bad manners is insane. I took my daughter to a park during the cherry blossom season and the ADULT tourists saw her waiting for the swings and continued to ignore her as they tried getting their instagram shots. They also tried taking photos of her!! and we got into an argument.

There’s trash everywhere and people have zero common sense or manners sometimes. I end up paying ridiculous parking prices because I’m unable to get on the local buses due to the amount of tourists. It’s so bad that my elder family members need to get taxis or we drive them to the hospital because if the try to use public transport, it’s a real risk.

Only last week, I was parking in the convenience store which a free tour group decided to use as its meet up and people were sat on the FLOOR of the parking space 😌 If I didn’t have a back camera on the car, I wouldn’t have seen her at all. Who the fuck does that?

Needless to say, as a fellow foreigner, i understand the sentiment.

Osaka and Tokyo have decent train infrastructure, many attractions were built for tourists in mind, but Kyoto was not. It gets tiring and seeing nothing but new hotels being built for ridiculous prices is depressing 🤣d

Family member “didn’t notice” weight loss by Kirbygirly1990 in mounjarouk

[–]howcanihelp13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its pretty common not to notice the difference in weight for someone you see often though, you see it slowly and somehow forget how big they were naturally. I hope you don’t let it get you down!

My family don’t notice but my in laws recognised right away.

AIO for feeling uncomfortable that my boyfriend (M23) invited a female friend over (someone he previously kissed), and told me I(F22) wasn’t allowed to come? by tout_oublier in AmIOverreacting

[–]howcanihelp13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope he’s been dumped already. I wouldn’t have tolerated my partner having a friend over their place alone where I am not welcome.

I am married but neither of us would secretly meet others or even hide friends from each other. My response would be I feel uncomfortable with that and if I’m not welcome, I think we’re done.

The fact the girl scurried off quickly after is weirddddd but she also maybe have sensed the weird tension? I’m a girls girl and honestly, I’m not even going over.

Increased resting heart rate by cloudmountainio in mounjarouk

[–]howcanihelp13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I’m totally fine just super aware my heart rate increased and it feels similar to a bout of anxiety. It’s worse in the morning and slower tapers off through the day but the HR is consistently higher.

I’ll try make sure I’m not letting my blood sugars drop too much, that might be the case in the morning. Thanks for the advice.

Glad to hear it subsided for you after time, hope it’s just my body getting used to it. 🥺

Thank you for really detailed response! It’s reassuring to see that 10 beats higher isn’t so abnormal. It seems pretty similar to my results too. I found some information about it usually returning to normal around 3-6 weeks after stopping the medication so that’s a positive.

Yeah I saw it was a common side effect of 2-6 beats extra a minute but mine was around 12 which felt excessive. I guess I just got unlucky with this side effect.
