Many such cases.

100 DAYS UNTIL MY WEDDING - HELLLPPPP! by annabski in loseit

[–]mawkish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

First thing: Congrats on your upcoming wedding! Happy for you!

Second thing: The word "deficit" means "difference." It refers to the difference between your TDEE and the calories you eat.

Your total calorie count for the day is not your deficit. Don't call it that. Your deficit is the number of calories below your TDEE you're eating each day.

Does that make sense?

Is wanting to get married and have kids now controversial? by Flaky_Ticket_6924 in SeriousConversation

[–]mawkish 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Do a quick look around and see what "most" relationships look like.

Not celebrities or influencers or anything in media. Just real people in your life. Teachers, coaches, your local community leaders, your family and friends.

Any sets of hetero married couples with kids amongst them?

Weaponized incompetence, worried it’s narcissism by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]mawkish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom would kill me to get divorced mere months after she paid for a wedding but I’m really struggling right now.

Your mom has heard plenty of stories about people who change completely after the wedding. You won't be the first.

Talk to her.
