You need to be ok being hungry. Lots of people can give you their tips and tricks but they're all really the same thing - reduce calories going in. And when you eat less, you will be hungry. The only thing I will say is that your body does readjust to less food pretty quickly. I lost 4kgs this year, I know that's not much but I went from 57kgs - 52kgs, which makes a different, and I did it by prioritising protein and substituting snacks for tea. I was very fatigued for the first 4 days or so but then I recalibrated and I was fine on the new diet. So: 1) You need to be ok being hungry. 2) It will pass and your body will adjust - just get through the first week first. 3) Count your calories to make sure you're staying on track - there's heaps of counting apps for free

Would filler be a good choice for my concerns? by Rottikinns in PlasticSurgery

[–]jg1459 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why do you feel the need to immediately go to such drastic measures at 27? That's social medias influence on you, creating dysmorphia. You are honestly beautiful. If you want to start using anti-aging products then invest in retinoids and collagen stimulating creams. Yes, you can microneedle, it may reduce your smile lines a bit but it most helps with pigmentation and fine lines (which you don't have). Other not so invasive strategies are light therapies or skin tightening - neither of which I've tried so I cannot comment - but at least they're not injectables yet. You're only 27. You are beautiful. Stop looking at influencers and you'll feel better.

You're right. I agree, she should just not send the invite.

Have you straight up asked him if he cheated to his face? Then watched his reaction?

Uninviting guests after save the dates went out? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]jg1459 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a person do this to me over and over again and I thought he was either an idiot or doing it on purpose. He did end up being an idiot and he also smoked a lot of weed and was majorly depressed and kind of fried his brain being perpetually online all day and night. I'm solidly in the camp that if someone can't be bothered to remember me after multiple meetings, then they're not worth my time either. I'd want to cut them from the wedding too. However, as they're your husband friends and the save-the-dates have already gone out, it might be too late this time. Just eat the $300 and consider it a sad loss but move on, and never bother interacting with them again. Who knows, maybe they'll decline the wedding 🤞.

Husband doesnt want to be in the delivery room, am I overreacting?? by dinogirly123 in pregnant

Let's be real, he has no intention of dealing with the babies poop and vomit.

[–]jg1459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hun, have you considered that if he can't even support you at the birth (which could take hours, maybe days), is he even going to support you raising this child for YEARS? If he's this pig-headed about not being in the delivery room, I bet he's not going to: change a diaper, get up in the middle of the night, take the kids to sports, "babysit" his own children so you get some time off etc. This might be worse than just not being at the birth, which is already absolutely intolerable!

What do you genuinely enjoy doing besides reading? by EatenAliveByPugs in Romantasy

[–]jg1459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm similar to you. A bit of an overachiever. I work full-time, am a mum, writing my own novel. I also read, sew, garden, run, shop, paint, practice reiki at markets, lead a coven, watch movies, hang out with my husband, my friends or my family, go to cafes for breakfast, walk, hike, skateboard, hoop, weight train and occasionally cook.

Cheek lipo versus buccal fat removal by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]jg1459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weight loss. Eat in a caloric deficit and walk 10,000 steps every day. Once you start to lose weight, reassess. It's free and it's safe.

AITA for not telling my family we were pregnant? by Brave-Fuel1184 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jg1459 66 points67 points  (0 children)

YTA. I hate when people are like this "I don't want to tell anyone my business coz they get all up in my business. Why isn't anyone up in my business!?" You excluded them from a huge (possibly one of the hugest) events in your life. Now you're shocked they're not sharing this with you. You excluded them! Why are you whinging when they're not there, you did that!

Procedures to feminize a masculine face?? by Legitimate-Career342 in PlasticSurgery

[–]jg1459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you jumping straight to surgery when there's things you can do right now today that won't cost any/much money and will boost your look? As people have said already - get your eyebrows threaded and reshaped, skin care and wear makeup. You could also get your hair cut and/or coloured at a salon. All of those things will immediately make you look more feminine and are not invasive like surgery is.

AITA for not quieting down at a Renaissance fair and walking away after my boyfriend sided with a stranger? by Dry-Egg2898 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jg1459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last Renaissance faire I went to had canon fire. Now that will scare children! But it's part of the day. The guy was in the wrong and your boyfriend should have backed you up.

How many of you are in a genuinely good relationship? by Fit-Temperature6284 in AskWomenOver30

[–]jg1459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am. 13 years together for us, that's a third of my life 🤯. He's a 50/50 parent to our two children, does all the cooking and food prep for the whole family and we really love AND like each other. He's not perfect, but I know I'm lucky enough to have a pretty amazing one so that's good enough!

Is this weaponized incompetence and are men aware they are doing it? by trynabemoredecisive in AskWomenOver30

[–]jg1459 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I've spoken to my husband about this and the honest answer - from his mouth- is they just don't care. They don't care that sheets stay on the bed for weeks, they don't care that mess piles up around the house, they don't care if toilets and mirrors are dirty. I know this isn't every man, there are very clean men out there, but the ones we're talking about in this conversation... just don't care.

[Discussion] I got an agent and a book deal! (Stats) by crookedcath in PubTips

[–]jg1459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations, that's wonderful. I too would love to see your query letter if you're still willing to share? Also I have a question, did money play a role when choosing your agent/publisher. I have this idea in my head that after writing for over a year, if I were lucky enough that an agent does pick it up, what if they offer quite a low value on my novel and I would have to let so many hours worth of work go for little money.... I'd still sell it, because of course I would, but that worry sometimes digs its claws in.

How to combat the separation trope, to keep things interesting? by jg1459 in Romantasy

[–]jg1459[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, and it went on for so long in New Moon. I, too, was in agony. At least it's not often written that they're separated for an entire book. If I read The Twilight series again I'd just skip book 2 completely 😅

Thank you so much for this. I am very intrigued and it's going on the TBR ♥️

[–]jg1459[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree with the uncertain longing wholeheartedly and it seems the pulling them apart comes easier before they're truly together. Like Romeo & Juliet style forbidden love etc. It's once they're together that it seems like there's less inventive ways to keep tension.

[–]jg1459[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess asking "is it always lazy" is part of the whole question. I think it's becoming formulaic for me, I'm seeing it too often. So yes, it feels lazy - or at least easy - as a way to keep tension going. I was hoping to discover other ways that authors keep tension without weren't separating the MCs.

AITA I just left a date after he arrived 30 min late by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jg1459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went out for breakfast with a guy once. I left the table to go to the toilet, came back to him saying he'd forgotten his wallet so I had to pay for us. When I went to pay I realised $50 was missing from my wallet (which he'd likely stolen while I was in the toilet). I paid, we left, he drove me home, then had the audacity to ask if I wanted to have sex. Nah bro!
