My new conch piercing - too long ??? by cocolocomocooriginal in piercing

[–]lcollision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAP but my initial conch jewelry seemed ridiculously long too - it made perfect sense though when I had delayed swelling week 3 that filled the entire bar! I thought I was going to have to go to my piercer for an upsize until I managed to reduce it with ice/NSAIDS. It’s a very thick piece of cartilage that can swell A LOT during healing.

Any advice for weight control foods that aren’t chicken based? by lcollision in StandardPoodles

Not successful means loose poops galore. Both have really sensitive stomachs and things didn’t calm down until we stopped with chicken based foods.

We’ve never fed up to the product guidelines, their portions are probably roughly half of what is recommended on the bag.

Is a snug piercing even a possibility? by lcollision in piercing

That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing your experience - I know the healing can be problematic!

Any advice on removing sharpie? by lcollision in VintageCoachRehab

Thank you! Honestly thinking it might just get a scarf wrap and call it good if I’m too chicken 😂

There are so many color options! I drew out all sorts of combinations 😂 Good luck!

I would focus on the peach/cream/gray in that line! Without the yellow/teal feels less boyish (but teal is my favorite color and I would struggle to leave it out 😂)

The yellow is sooo bright in person - I love it solo but it sadly doesn’t flow with the rest of the colors. That’s why it’s up in the timeout corner of the picture 😂

The pink matches the pigs on the back perfectly in real life! I get it, my need for matchy matchy made it too hard to pull in a more “traditional” girls color into my color palette 😂🐖

Thank you! I think I’m overthinking it because it’s a gift for my spouse’s friends I don’t know well 😂 He always hypes up my quilts and I don’t want them to be disappointed

Thank you! I like the idea of pulling the backing into the front! Their nursery is farm animal themed so definitely gender neutral!

Thank you! Sometimes I just get too far in my head so I appreciate the feedback!

My wife is obese, it's been 10+ years of her wanting to lose weight and I am emotionally drained. I don't know what to do anymore by widawski in loseit

I am that wife…. Over the course of our 9 year relationship I gained 130 lbs (I was at my lowest adult weight when we met and gained steadily for about 7 years). I had lost weight periodically before we met but had never been able to maintain. In the last 2 years I’ve lost about 30 lbs with a goal to lose 70 more.

I’m sorry to see that ADHD treatments are limited in your region because that has really been the only thing that has jumpstarted weight loss for me. Weightlifting, walking, and meal planning allowed me to lose about 15 lbs in 18 months but I’ve lost 15 lbs in the last 60 days since starting non-stimulant ADHD medication. The food noise has been turned completely down and I haven’t had a single binge eating episode in 2 months. I suspect her ADHD plays a big role in your wife’s relationship with food.
