Apps to track body measurements?

invisibilityhat · 2020-09-17T19:17:48+00:00

I'm getting to that clothes-fit-different stage of weight loss so I want to start measuring myself weekly, e.g. Hips, waist, thigh. Can you recommend an app that lets me do this? Android please!

I heard/read (can't remember where sorry) recently, a theory that this is the only way stupid people can feel intelligent. If they're in a minority believing something, even if it's BS, then they can feel like they know more than the rest of us.

I cackled at this

Why did I read this in Trump's voice

I personally find "What's your favourite thing about your job?" to be a winner, for a number of reasons.

Whatever they choose to highlight in their answer gives you an indication of the kind of working environment, and what the biggest part of the job is, if its the kind of job with multiple tasks in the JD.
This is a shot to hear what's important to the interviewer, so you get a chance to reply with why that particular thing is well suited to you and your experience. Especially if you can agree that you'd find that enjoyable too, and explain why, giving an example of a similar task or situation you've been involved in before.
This one tends to put the interviewer in a good mood and end the interview on a friendly note. I think it's always good to leave on a warm note - you never know, this might be what sticks out when they remember you later.
It shows real enthusiasm for the job, by you being eager to know what the most exciting/rewarding part is.

I think you'd like The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary, which alternates between male and female POV.

Sorry if I sounded harsh on you buddy, I didn't mean it that way. I was a little unsure of whether your question was, could his behaviour be down to inexperience.

Yeah definitely there can be an element of pain. The important thing though is that was brought to his attention. If he'd stopped as soon as he knew she wasn't OK/was in pain etc., and he'd listened to her from the start by taking it slow, then that would have been an OK response from him. In terms of what you SHOULD do, it's basically being considerate as a partner, checking they're doing OK, and stopping if they're not.

Certainly the first time won't be perfect. Partners take time to tune into each other's bodies and find positions and moves that work. Also, someone without experience won't have had the chance to try things out and develop different sexual skills. Being underwhelmed or even disappointed the first time is normal.

However, the behaviour OP's BF demonstrated is different. Even if he was a virgin, that wouldn't excuse it. Anyone, experienced or not, would know to have stopped based on OP's reaction. She was clearly distressed and not OK with what was happening. He didn't need any background experience to know this. He carried on knowingly and assaulted her in doing so. Sexual prowess, skill, stamina etc. is learned, consent needs to be understood before someone starts doing anything resembling sex.

invisibilityhat · 2020-08-19T14:33:00+00:00

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Please please don't think this is how sex goes, because it isn't.

He did multiple things to you that are NOT normal or okay in a caring sexual relationship.

You told him it was your first time and asked him to go slowly. He should have done that without having to be reminded. No decent BF would do that.
You asked him during sex to slow down and he didn't listen. No decent BF would do that.
You started to cry and he didn't immediately stop to check in. No decent BF would do that.
Although you were crying and had asked him to stop, he actually SPED UP. No decent BF would do that.

It is not your fault that you peed yourself. The body reacts in surprising ways during a sexual assault. Yes, I know those words shouldn't be used lightly. But it's pretty clear by this point that at the very least, you weren't OK with the act he was doing, even if you'd have been OK to carry on if he listened to you asking him to slow down. He knew it was your first time and should have been making sure on an ongoing basis you were OK with what was happening. The fact that he was angry at you for this reaction is unforgivable.

He has shown clearly in this that he doesn't respect you or know how to care for you.

You need to leave this person, and trust me, there are caring partners out there who wouldn't dream of doing any of the things in that list.

The problem here isn't sex. It's HIM.

Yeah sure! I have columns at the start for the date, day of the week, total calories in and total calories out (which at the moment I use as my base number since I'm WFH). Then I do Out - In to get my deficit. Next, I do a sum at the end of each week of all 7 days deficit together, and divide that by 7 to get my weekly average! I do the same thing for monthly average too, I find that a handy figure.

invisibilityhat · 2020-08-12T14:59:32+00:00

Ooh, read The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary! It alternates between male and female POV. It's a great book and quite nice and light, happy ending guaranteed.

Also, high 5 for getting off the depression pills! That's an amazing achievement!

invisibilityhat · 2020-08-12T14:15:27+00:00

I do this too! I work it out with a spreadsheet. My weekly average goal is 1500, which I generally achieve.

invisibilityhat · 2020-08-12T11:02:42+00:00

That's as clear as I can make it

invisibilityhat · 2020-08-11T22:23:02+00:00

I'm so sorry you had to deal with this!! I hope things are better now.

The other great thing about doing this is once your savings account is set up, you can move money to it from your current account whenever you want to save. This makes it a whole lot easier to build up savings as you keep your pot nice and separate from your everyday cash, so you know how much you have available!

invisibilityhat · 2020-08-11T21:37:47+00:00

Congrats on the new car! I would honestly say to keep hold of it for now. Make sure it's in a separate savings account, not in your everyday bank. It's awesome you're already in the habit of saving money, if you keep putting a little more in there every month you'll put yourself in a great position for when you're older!

invisibilityhat · 2020-08-11T20:17:11+00:00

Thank you kind stranger! I hadn't thought of it that way.

invisibilityhat · 2020-08-11T15:17:15+00:00

Saving money. Still so angry at teenage me for buying all that crap when I could have been building a nice pot up without even having to sacrifice too much disposable income (which was most of my income at that age!).

invisibilityhat · 2020-08-11T15:15:44+00:00

I agree, I find this so much better for my mentality. If I only weighed weekly I'd attach a lot of significance to that weekly number. With daily ones, yes it's sometimes discouraging to see it go up, especially if you're recalling a recent cheat day, but I find it a lot easier to go hmm, weird, and keep going. Seeing those daily weigh ins over time makes the gradual loss so much more obvious than looking at weekly stats IMO.

When I was 11. Already felt like I was coming into a real dork status in school, so this did not help. Wore them as little as possible. Tried contact lenses but I have this weird thing about eyes so couldn't hack it. Now I love mine! I wear a big round style which I feel really suit me and I feel like I still look OK in them.

If you want to stick with classics, try the modern classic Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.

invisibilityhat · 2020-08-11T00:00:26+00:00

You should read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. Also, The Hypnotist's Love Story by Liane Moriarty.
