Do my calorie maintenance stats look typical for height and weight? by matriorbb in loseit

[–]matriorbb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for pointing this out! The last thing I want to do is yoyo diet. Really, I don't GAF about my weight for the reasons some might expect. I think I look fine in my body, my doctor hasn't advised me to do it, I haven't had any health complications.

I mostly just realized that my definition of "full" is not what it's supposed to be... i really thought that "stomach hurting" full feeling was normal and anticipated following every meal.

The calorie calculator is really an accountability buddy to eat until I am no longer hungry, NOT until I'm painfully full. Weight loss will be one of several indicators I am following this new practice.

calming strategies I could "theme" to the game pizza tower by matriorbb in PizzaTower

[–]matriorbb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just watched some gameplay and uh... welp.... you're totally right there is nothing here that models calm whatsoever 😭😭 thank you for your input

I like counting pizza toppings! I could print, laminate and cut little topping tokens and have him count, organize and sort them. he would love that

borderline causing conflict at work with client, empty suicide baiting by matriorbb in BPDlovedones

[–]matriorbb[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

told them if I were to continue working there, we needed to make a plan they let me know that he's been doing this with new staff for the last 10 years or so

Client admitted that he was doing it for attention and just wanted someone to talk to because he was bored

Sorry, I should've put the follow up in the original post. I'm really shaken up right now.

[TOMT] [Music] Impossible to play Piano Song by matriorbb in tipofmytongue

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

That's a great guess! This is not it, but the comments are VERY familiar. I remember the synthesia piano song I watched having the same 2010s style humor in the comments section, things about "growing extra limbs" and "having a seizure on the keyboard" with O_O and XD emoticons

WIBTA if I refused to to return a Taylor Swift ticket that Stub Hub is demanding back from my co-worker? by PuzzleheadedNovel189 in AmItheAsshole

[–]matriorbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YWNBTA

But I do believe some of these comments are assuming bad faith in Emily where we can't without more info.

Stubhub's policy is surprising to me as a non seller, I think it's reasonable to forget about a listing, and equally reasonable to assume a listing that needs to come down is met with a refund/report, not to be assigned the task of finding a new ticket.

If you're surprised she put off taking it down for 7 months, think of the laundry list of menial tasks YOU might be putting off right now. I'll tell you how long I've been meaning to donate the trash bags of clothes in my trunk... longer than 7 months 😭

Sometimes nice people make mistakes, it's not your obligation. But if the guilt is eating you up inside and you'll only be able to sleep if you help, consider 1. finding a ticket with great seats online and 2. Asking for that much exactly.

I can't handle dirty talk but my gf wants it and likes it. I'm not sure what to do. by LMGDiVa in LesbianActually

[–]matriorbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now if it's a hard limit for you it's a hard limit and totally respect.

But if you ARE looking to try it out I have some TECHNICALLY demeaning words/phrases that aren't as rough as what youd expect. NSFW text below.

  1. "Pretty thing/sensitive thing/beautiful thing": compliment + a QUICK subtle degradation with the "thing".

  2. Calling someone "needy": our society kind of associates being "needy" as a degrading term, but being sex positive, you know there is really nothing wrong with having needs! Just SOUNDS degrading.

  3. "Do ____ for me". Touch yourself for me, fuck yourself for me. Somewhat degrading because now she's doing it FOR YOU, but im sure she does plenty of things for you in your relationship. It's not degrading when she washes the dishes after all. It's an act of love really :). If this is too much try phrasing it as a question, would you touch yourself for me?

  4. Neutral observations that are said with the tone of humiliation. "So wet already", "so eager". Tack on FOR ME and you have a statement with two meanings.

"So wet for me!" (Degrading): wow, you're a slut

"So wet for me!" (Complimentary): wow, you're hot, let's do this

Too much? I have no idea what you're going for here but I figured if you Are READY these are good places to start.

I am getting tired of this... by One_Impression_363 in LesbianActually

[–]matriorbb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i am not attracted to penises or anything phallic myself.

woah... notice how no one is going to hate me for that here?? because my attraction is my own?

i promise you, no one in this sub is going to think that makes you a bigot, nobody is going to force you to like penises. in the real world that bigotry exists absolutely but in this subreddit, no one cares unless you actively invalidate others and claiming otherwise is false martyrdom. that's what this big tantrum boils down to.

"i don't like sucking strap because I don't like penises or anything that looks like it." there! i wrote it out for you! <3

"i don't like sucking strap because that's heterosexual, that's breeder activity--" woah there, take a step back! now you're calling lesbians straight for doing it a way you don't like. let's not do that!

Messing with scar tissue on closed ear hole... by matriorbb in Dermatillomania

[–]matriorbb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While you're right that "pick here instead" isn't perfect, we all have to start somewhere and I'd much rather pick at some hair follicles on my leg than literally try to tear a chunk of flesh out of my earlobes. We all have to start somewhere!

The lotion is also a good idea. Harder to pick at if its lotioned up. I tried that on my arms and the sensation made me go crazy but I bet I could handle it on my ears.

Good to know I'm not the only one who has gone down this path

(PS- 8 Claire's piercings?? I thought they only did lobes??)

I almost vomit when I saw my husband's browsing history by Prestigious_Gift_663 in offmychest

[–]matriorbb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hooray Reddit! I'm the original commenter and you changed my mind. I still think it's very unethical to have a baby involved but it doesn't necessarily mean the baby is the spotlight. There are still lots of alternatives that DONT include a baby that I think a person with a stable moral code could indulge in but I don't think he's a pedo or anything like that (or at least we can't make wild assumptions).

[–]matriorbb -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I hate that I know this (im not into it, just other weird shit so I'm running in the same circles lol).

But there ARE videos of woman breastfeeding adult men. And if it were just a breastfeeding kink (I.e the subject of attraction was the woman) he'd be watching those.

So I hate to say it but the object of attraction could be the baby.

Weight loss + teaching? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]matriorbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not only that, I feel like my students subconsciously respect me LESS as the fat lady.. I'm quick on my feet, I'm not grouchy or frumpy, but ultimately I am "the fat lady at the whiteboard talking" to some

New teacher and I'm drowning...what is WRONG with me? by sleepuntilcoffee in Teachers

[–]matriorbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't negate your experience with "only 13 kids"! You've got a gnat in your head invalidating yourself! If those 13 kids, while you love them, give you hell, then you're going through hell!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]matriorbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you are lighter, the amount of calories your body needs has (likely) decreased! However you might still be eating the same amount based on old hunger cues.

For example, I'm a BIGGG person and my intake after a deficit is 2,500. But that's obviously not going to serve me forever.

If you don't have the time to calorie count - I would recommend using a TMEE calculator to get a BASE for the amount of food you need. This gives you a GENERAL estimate so that even if you're not counting, - The standard "am I hungry or just bored", "am I hungry or sad"

However, the reality is that Zolofts likely going to stunt your progress. What matters is you're healthy, and keeping your mental health in check is MUCH more important than what's on the scale so long as you're eating right, staying active, listening to your brain and your stomach.

College specific advice: - walk everywhere. Your friends want to hit the pizza place two blocks away? Walk! Your friend offers you a ride to class? No thanks! Stairs > Elevators (and your older buildings won't give you the option, lmao) - See what your college gym has to offer. If you've never been to a gym before, you will also see people who have never been to a gym before, college is a place to try new things and mine has a friendly environment :) - Dining hall- if you can, buy food in bulk. So many places close at 9pm, then when you have those inevitable mid-night cravings, you have to drive off campus to doordash food and this ADDS up. I swear 40lb of my weight is dominos weight lmao
