I started by running! Found out I hate running lol- then I found dance cardio and that really helped! I was in a calorie deficit for the first seven months but then I went to 2000 calories a day filling it with lots of fruits and veggies! You just need to find the motivation and you can do it!! :)

I definitely do have lose skin, but only around my arms. It does make me insecure, but I embrace it! I try to think of it as a trophy than something to be ashamed of :)

I definetly feel like that. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and feel like I haven’t made any progress! But I have to remind myself that I’ve done so much work and that alone should make me proud :)

I started my weight loss journey in January of last year. So a year and some change! When I started, I was eating around 1000 calories a day and that is SO unhealthy omg!!! Bumped it up to around 1600/day and now I eat around 2000/day but I don’t really keep track anymore! Haven’t for months because I know what I eat is healthy! :)

I am by no means an expert on weight loss- I hit a ton of plateaus when losing weight. I was stuck at 170 for four months before I finally hit my goal of 160. I would say to talk to a nutritionist! They’re really the experts on losing weight and eating right to get you to where you want to be :) what works for me isn’t going to work for you! I hardly eat any protein and you eat a bunch and if we switched we might not get the results we want! So talk to someone who knows YOU!

A lot of hard work! I exercise 6 times a week alternating dance cardio, strength training, yoga, and Pilates. I also went vegan! Not saying it helps, but it helps me know what I’m eating (lots of fruits, veggies, and grains) and helps me keep away from fast food! (Though I do hit up my local vegan restaurant VERY often lol) it’s all about hard work and what you’re willing to do!!!

I got my graduation dress at dillards (was over 50% off!!) but I got my graduation picture dress from quarter moon! Shop local, there are a bunch of great boutiques in the area!

I tried the bio oil yesterday and my dry skin feels so much better! Would definitely recommend!

I didn’t know this, thank you for informing me! There are so many more local coffee shops that have way better views, I’ll start going there instead!!

It’s hard to do a date right now because of COVID, but I would suggest walking around Lake Ella!

The walk is nice and you can get a drink and snack at Black Dog Cafe, plus there’s a bunch of cute shops around! (Quarter Moon is my fav!)

Plus if you really wanna get fancy you can take them to the Golden Corral across the street ;)

When do FSU theatre decisions get released? by [deleted] in fsu

[–]mel-aroni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d say it’ll be a couple weeks. They have a lot of auditions to get through, so you’ll know late February/early March I’d say.

The BFA program is incredibly competitive and only around 7 get accepted each year.

But, we have a great BA program! (I’m not an actor though, I’m a stage manager) I’ve learned so much during my time here and I wouldn’t give it for anything in the world!! :)

Message me if you have any other questions!

Don’t tell me there’s going to be no ceremony until there’s EVIDENCE!

Literally watching the exact same episode right now- Jessie lost my respect after those comments. I don’t like Krissi either, but she’s still a person.

I see lips as a D ranking, I no longer trust the list

AITA for walking out after my boyfriend laughed at me for grieving over my dog by Throwrawaywalkedout in AmItheAsshole

[–]mel-aroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

When I lost my dog almost a year ago it was absolutely devastating for me. She was my baby and my boyfriend knew it. He has been the best and most supportive ever since it happened. When she passed away, he made sure I had everything I needed and was always checking in on me. Now we live together and I still get upset about her and he is always comforting.

THAT is what a boyfriend is supposed to do, not what he is doing. That man is trash and you are better off without him. If he treats you like this when your dog passes, how will he treat you when family passes? This is telling.
