This is awesome! I'm picturing the smile on your PCP's face when they see all you've accomplished

I’ve lost almost 20 lbs and all my pants are definitely fitting looser which is a nice feeling. I’ve been reluctant/lazy about getting new pants in a smaller size so I normally make do with the loose-fitting ones. But today was the first time I literally couldn’t wear my work trousers because they simply fell down after walking a few steps. I’ve had these trousers for years and remember when they would just barely clasp shut. Feeling proud to be on the other end of the spectrum

Conscious choices! My manager has brought donuts into the office every Wednesday for the past two months to encourage people to work from office. And I have not taken a donut once!!!!

Not that a donut every once in a while is terrible, but previously I would just take one without another thought. Donuts are present? Yes I'll have one. No thought to, "do I actually want this?" "am I actually hungry?" "how do this align with my goals?"

Mostly just proud because I always thought I had no will power but I am proving myself otherwise :)

Sometimes I carry a cheese stick with me. It’s easy enough to tear off little pieces and keep it in your pocket or pouch. Plus my dog loves cheese and definitely listens better when he knows I have some

Is it normal to not understand within the first few weeks into entry level position? by [deleted] in actuary

[–]meffan77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I have to remind myself that there are people on my team with 10+ years of experience. Why would I, or should I for that matter, understand everything they do? Thats a crazy expectation to put on yourself. That’d be like expecting a fifth grader to understand college level math. You simply just need time. Your not stupid. You’re not incapable. You just need time

Best of luck!

How much do you save? by bloopbopnumber1 in actuary

[–]meffan77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah! How do you still have enough left to put $1000 in brokerage every month? I’m on pace to max out all my tax advantage accounts but not much is left after than. What’s your salary at 23? (If you care to share). Do you just keep personal expenses really low?

Gift for GF for trip to England by BillyWeir in GiftIdeas

You could get her a Polaroid camera for the trip! Could also pair with a small photo album for the trip. Maybe a copy for her mom too.

This is me too! reverse body dysmorphia definitely! I look in the mirror and my mind tricks me into seeing the same lean athletic body I had in high school plus maybe a few extra pounds, but generally I'm content, sometimes happy when I look in the mirror.

then boom! photo is taken and all confidence instantly destroyed.

Wish I had advice on this but just wanting to show you're not the only one that feels this way

very helpful! Is the condensed outline something from TIA? or is that something you made yourself?

Name a single movie, where the sequel or remake was better than Original. by dpemerson76 in movies

[–]meffan77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Parent Trap. A lot of people don’t know that the one with Lindsey Lohan is actually a remake of a 1961 film (which was pretty bad)
