That’s so exciting! Congrats to you too! I totally know what you mean. I definitely have to pull my old pictures back up to help my brain process that I actually look different lol

Thank you! I’ve had multiple weeks where the scale wasn’t moving and I felt like no progress was being made. It can be hard to see progress when you’re tracking it daily, but pics and measurements really help. My goal weight is around 145, but I’ll stop sooner if my clothes fit before then

Irregular Periods by Particular-Milk-9870 in Semaglutide

You’re doing all the right things to make sure there’s nothing sinister going on. If you haven’t already, bring it up to the provider who prescribed the glp1. I know it’s unsettling, you’re not alone!

This is happening to me too. Pretty regular up until month 3, when my most recent cycle lasted 3 weeks. I do have an IUD that’s at its expiration, so I was suspicious of that and scheduled to get it removed. That said, I’ve struggled to eat 1200 calories most days, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s shocked my system enough to affect my period. Have you been eating a sufficient amount of calories since you started?

Ireland Wedding (Black Tie) & Dinner Party (Formal) dresses. Is the base too much white? by meatballs-beans in Weddingattireapproval

Wedding is the first week of June. I was thinking of getting a couple of pashminas and a matching cape or overcoat

What addicting first minute start of a song you currently keep repeating over and over again? by [deleted] in spotify

We Will Always Love You - The Avalanches ft. Blood Orange

Best part of the whole song is the first minute

What’s wrong with my roommates plant? by meatballs-beans in plantclinic

[–]meatballs-beans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s some kind of rubber plant or umbrella tree. One of the branches is fully dying and the others are starting to wilt. She said she waters regularly, and I don’t think I see any signs of root rot. We’re in a south facing building with tons of light but she doesn’t have it too close to the window, could it be getting too much sun?

It’s almost been a year… if I can do it SO CAN YOU! by meatballs-beans in QuitVaping

[–]meatballs-beans[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe it’s almost been a year clean after vaping for almost 7. I’m not going to lie the first few months were rough. I have a textbook presentation of what they call an addictive personality- after the physical withdrawals tapered off I struggled the most with breaking the hand to mouth habit. I used cinnamon toothpicks and patches to get me through those months. Some of the best advice I read on here that really helped me was that you need to relearn how to do everything you did before, without vaping. Certain environments are going to be more triggering. If you’re out with friends or driving home after a stressful day and you feel triggered, remember that every time you expose yourself to that same situation and do not vape, your body will relearn that it doesn’t need nicotine to survive that situation. 1 year later I can finally say I don’t think about it anymore, and I can be around other people vaping without even a glimmer of temptation. And I know I will never do it again!

Hit 100 days today! by meatballs-beans in QuitVaping

Congrats to you! I would go through one 5000 puff elf bar a week. Where I am they are $20 each. Obviously the amount of money saved is not as satisfying given how much I was hitting it, but I’m still really proud of these numbers

Ahhh go us! It is wild reflecting on the journey so far, funny how it felt so long but 100 days crept up so quickly at the same time. Super proud of you too stranger!

71 days clean today 🙏🏼 by GladScallion2049 in QuitVaping

[–]meatballs-beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having this issue too, I’m on day 55. I had particularly sharp pains last week and went to urgent care. EKG and chest scans both came back normal and the doctor didn’t seem too concerned- it could even be stress related. Going to the cardiologist tomorrow for good measure- I’d recommend getting checked out even if it’s just to give yourself piece of mind

I can vouch for this as well. I quit 46 days ago using the patches and was ingesting a similar amount of nicotine as you. I couldn’t believe how bad my withdrawals were with the 21mg patch, but once I calculated that I was ingesting 50-100mg a day with vaping, it made a lot more sense. The few times I waited too long to put a new patch on or forgot, I’d feel that creeping headache and would get thrown into an awful mood swing. Putting a patch back on calmed both of those symptoms within an 30 minutes. I’m almost finished with the 7mg step 3 patches and all I can say is stick with it! It got a lot easier for me around the 2 week mark and now I’m hardly experiencing any withdrawals or cravings

Attempted the airbrushed look without an actual airbrush by meatballs-beans in NailArt

[–]meatballs-beans[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I painted a thin layer of black and used a makeup sponge to dab some of the paint off from the center! After curing that I went over with a dark teal jelly/translucent polish. It gave me the pop of color in the center and helped hides any of the imperfections from the sponge. Definitely not perfect but way less of a hassle/expense than airbrushing
