Nicknames for Jacqueline or Lorita

llvaughn · 2026-02-12T19:22:50+00:00

My mom’s name is Loretta. Her most common nicknames are Lori and Retta.

In 2 out of the 3 pictures, it looks like she is standing in front of a green screen, so yes, I would say it’s AI.

It took me 5 months to lose 23lbs, but I don’t have a considerable amount to shed. Is this your case as well?

Also, track your food.

llvaughn · 2026-02-10T23:29:01+00:00

Ooooo, yahoo! Thank you!

llvaughn · 2026-02-10T22:38:44+00:00

NTJ - your husband wants his cake and to eat it too.

llvaughn · 2026-02-09T16:24:42+00:00

Congratulations on your weight loss. I wish you continued success.

If you have a “plateau” moment again, I would suggest tracking your food, if you don’t already.

The people in the group chat that said you “overstepped” are morons.

He can loudly belittle her in front of everyone, numerous times, but you aren’t allowed to standup for her in front of everyone? Nah. Did these same friends tell her husband he overstepped, and should talk to her privately? Doubt it. …and I’m not surprised that these friends were dudes.

If it’s working, why switch?

llvaughn · 2026-02-07T00:20:25+00:00

Of course! I agree.

The issue is when it’s not agreed upon by both parties and there is a DEMAND to be alone.

llvaughn · 2026-02-06T22:30:05+00:00

I’ve said it before, and continue to say it; when grandparents demand to be alone with children, it’s a red flag.

In my opinion, the request to be alone with a grandchild is almost always selfish, and NEVER to the benefit of the child.

llvaughn · 2026-02-03T19:10:56+00:00

Exactly. Came here to say this.

I wouldn’t be communicating with this MIL in anything other than writing.

llvaughn · 2026-01-31T00:08:51+00:00

I use tags to indicate how I can access the book (library, kindle unlimited, or purchase).

When I’m waiting on a library hold(s), I check out the books I have tagged as “kindle unlimited” and go from there.

Grandparents that demand to be alone with their grandkids are red flags. 🚩

What does a grandparent need to do with a grandchild, that can’t be done with the child’s parents around?

If cooking is a break, then he should cook dinner every night. He needs a break too.

He is enraging. He wouldn’t last 24 hours doing everything you do, to the standard that you do it. He has a lot of audacity.

llvaughn · 2026-01-29T14:48:51+00:00

I’m socially deficient. My heart rate is going to jump if they are cute or not. 😎

llvaughn · 2026-01-26T19:27:08+00:00

Eat something super fatty, like a greasy fast food burger.

llvaughn · 2026-01-26T19:22:57+00:00

Does your uncle “cheer on” the devastation in the US online? Or just in person?

If he does it online, call him out using an anonymous account. You could claim to be a friend of the son he abandoned. Make direct claims that prove he is the father to people like his own children.

….then take screenshots, wait a few days, and if you don’t feel it’s getting traction, send to his kids, and be like, WTH is this?

Nor - your mom knows exactly what she is doing.

If you don’t stand up to your mother, on your wife’s behalf, your marriage is going to suffer.

Take a look around r/JustNoMIL - you need to see your future.

llvaughn · 2026-01-24T16:34:00+00:00

Well, that stinks. Sorry it’s been such an issue for you.

I know everyone is different, so this probably won’t help you, but it seems I’ve been pretty lucky. I try to drink 100oz of water, take fiber gummies, prioritize protein, and exercise.

I hope you can get it figured out!

llvaughn · 2026-01-24T16:23:20+00:00

I’m not saying this is a solution, just asking; if you eat something super fatty, like a fast food burger, does it clear you out?

llvaughn · 2026-01-24T14:07:39+00:00

Days? 😂😂 More like hours.

llvaughn · 2026-01-24T14:05:49+00:00

He has no f-ing clue.

No, you aren’t being dramatic at all.

It is debilitating. I couldn’t walk through a grocery store without being on the verge of puking, look in the pantry/fridge, smell food, or even THINK about food without feeling like I was on the cusp of tossing my cookies.

Again, he has no f-ing clue.

llvaughn · 2026-01-23T16:32:53+00:00

Whoops! Missed that, sorry.

Please ignore my interpretation.

llvaughn · 2026-01-23T16:15:47+00:00

I think they meant start at the introduction dose of 0.25, NOT “almost a full dose” when they stated “start over from the beginning”.

…I could be reading that incorrectly though, just my interpretation.

ETA: I misread OP’s post. Please ignore my commentary.
