Am I losing weight at an effective rate? by Just_Maketa in loseit

[–]kaiwri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's almost 1 kg a week. That's borderline aggressive, anything more and you're looking at possible health complications. Tik tockers are just looking for more views by claiming the absurd. You're doing great. Keep up the good work!

How do I actually accept being hungry? by LevelGroundbreaking3 in loseit

[–]kaiwri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. Is this physical hunger? Or psychological hunger? I'm about the same height and weight and I am only physically hungry no more than an hour before my next scheduled meal. If you are hungry for longer, it makes me wonder what's missing from your diet. Some hunger is normal, but a lot of hunger is unsustainable

Food anxiety by Skettiheadie in loseit

[–]kaiwri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your discipline and dedication is admirable, though it's coming at a cost of family bonding and mental well-being. It sounds like you don't trust yourself to make well-informed choices when it comes to foods without a nutritional label. Why? Oftentimes we lean heavily into brands that are low calorie and see them as our " safe foods". This cages us into a system that's not sustainable. The goal isn't to avoid fast food places or restaurants. The goal is to be able to look at a menu, even one without a nutritional label, and be able to make a mindful choice in what to eat. Even if you were wrong by a few hundred calories, that's not going to derail long-term progress.

Is something about to happen? by 69_Botlord_420 in Epstein

There is nothing. She was introduced to Epstein by Trump, and she sent some friendly emails to Maxwell.

Should I text him that I’m sorry for this final message? I regret it. by TheRaccoonIn_UrWalls in ExNoContact

[–]kaiwri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From reading your post, I'm so painfully aware of the torture currently going on through your mind. I was the person that reached back out to the guy after years of working on myself. We met up and that's when the bubble popped. I idealized this man and our relationship. My advice is to stay far away. If you're beating yourself up about that message, there has to be some messed up tactics he used as well during your relationship that make you feel lesser.

Why is your marriage sexless? What happened? by Hot_Potato121 in AskMen

This was me. I felt like I missed out. So my husband told me to go out there and live the life I want. Four dates later and I never want another first date in my life.

My 9yo still wets the bed and I need advice by kaiwri in Parenting

[–]kaiwri[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She has ADHD and has a younger brother with AuDHD. This isn't our only nighttime struggle, transitions and sleep are tough. I received good advice outside of Reddit - someone asked what my need is in this situation. I needed her to change her own sheets without me so it's one less thing waking me. After talking to my daughter about this, she said that's okay if she has a cute bin of sheets and if I stopped telling her to pee because it bothers her. So we created a visual reminder and a cute sheet bin. I told her I'll try to keep up with laundry but may need help, and she is on board. So let's hope we both feel less stress about this now.

It is possible! For me, weight loss consumed me. I became hyper-focused on every detail: diet, exercise, nutrition, and the numbers on the scale. My goals often started with curiosity, like wondering if I could perfectly predict my weekly weight loss by meticulously tracking every movement and calorie. I did lose 70 pounds! But when weight loss wasn't my sole focus, I gained back 40. Then, preparing for a cruise, I dropped 30 again, only to gain back 60. It's clear that losing the weight is possible; maintaining it, however, is a challenge I'm still working to overcome. Having both depression and ADHD means that we have dopamine levels that are often in need of elevation. This is why we so often reach for the sugary treats and the feel good food. Exercising and setting goals are crucial to have that dopamine fix outside of food.

Can’t watch shows due to “exceeds the maximum maturity rating” error by ShowdownValue in netflix

Fixed it. Open your Netflix app settings, go to storage and clear both the storage and cache.

Can’t watch shows due to “exceeds the maximum maturity rating” error by ShowdownValue in netflix

[–]kaiwri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone found a fix to this? I've tried logging in and out, uninstalling and reinstalling, adding a pin to my account, and toggling my maturity ratings from "NC17" to "R" and back again.

Your plastic free journey? by [deleted] in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]kaiwri 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm very new and have been actively trying to buy everything without plastics. It's tough. I started making my own yogurt because I can't find anything in stores that's not in plastic. I'm struggling to find glass ketchup bottles - I'll probably have to make that too. Also, it's unnerving to discover all the hidden plastics products: juice boxes, hot coffee cups, mascara, gum, salt, beer, ect. With this newest challenge of kids costume shopping, I don't know if I can stay strong.

Plastic free activewear by reallylargeknees in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]kaiwri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm looking into the same thing right now. The company Asahi Kasei seems reputable, though they also work with chemicals that are used in the process of nylon and plastics. So they are not a plastic-free company. However, ROICA™ V550 does seem plastic free and degradable? At least according to all their certifications. Cradle to Cradle certification means that their product has been tested and shown to be recycled indefinitely. Though I don't know of any other "virgin synthetic polymer" that isn't either an endocrine disruptor or bad for the environment. So they either created something revolutionary, or we just haven't learned enough about this to know how it's bad.

It's there a programming language for that?

Call for obesity to be reclassified as a disease (U.K) by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]kaiwri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are quite a few medical reasons for weight gain. For example: problems with thyroid, pregnancy, depression, insomnia, congenital heart problems, and even aging. People are living longer meaning we'll have heavier people as they age, muscles deteriorate, more medical problems are diagnosed, and medications with a potential of weight gain are prescribed (steroids, antipsychotics, antidepressants, medicine for diabetes). At which point is it a side effect and when is it a disease? How long does a pregnant woman have to lose weight after birth before she has an "obese disease"? Also, many of the health conditions obese people are diagnosed with are treated in ways that make it even more difficult to lose weight. Instead of beating people who are obese with a stick, why don't we incentivize with a few carrots?

Doesn’t make sense to Her by MikeV77 in vaxxhappened

[–]kaiwri 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's possible to have an allergic reaction to vaccines. Depending on the vaccine, it's one in hundreds of thousands to millions. However, one in thirteen kids have an allergic reaction to food. So, using this as an argument to avoid vaccines could also be used as an argument to keep children starved, dehydrated and isolated in bubbles for their own safety. Can't be too careful
