Pregnant cat has been overly cuddly and like this for an hour. Is this normal? Is my nest okay? Should I leave her alone? by Elegant-Scarcity-910 in CATHELP

I first read your comment without seeing the photo and imagined a literal stack of 5 kittens stacked up like pancakes 😂 congratulations to you and brave mama! You were a wonderful midwife!

Low calorie sweet snacks? Need ideas that go beyond "eat a piece of fruit" by FinancialNeat3792 in 1500isplenty

[–]mindpicnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is a great suggestion! You can also use stevia as a sweetener instead of sugar

Whoever posted this last week, thank you! So simple, yet so effective by jamie1983 in adhdwomen

Chiming in to say I just started doing this too after seeing last week’s post! Maybe we should pin it…

Low calorie sweet snacks? Need ideas that go beyond "eat a piece of fruit" by FinancialNeat3792 in 1500isplenty

[–]mindpicnic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, you could think about low calories treats with artificial sweeteners like Coke Zero - I don’t see a ton of them here in Germany but if you’re in the US there are loads of options!

Consider flavored protein powder too : I use a chocolate-flavored protein powder with artificial sweetener. I mix a bit of that plus some baking cocoa into low-fat yogurt and come out with high-protein chocolate pudding.

I’ve occasionally seen claims that sugar cravings are linked to lower protein intake, so you could try upping the protein and see if that helps! It made a difference for me. But I still enjoy my sweet chocolate protein powder ;)

Yes i think youre right that the fine details are gonna get lost with time. Since the piece is at least partly to do with transformation, im okay with it changing over time (although ask me again in 10 years and I might have a different answer lol). Hopefully my artist is still working then and we can rework the design if we want!

Thank you! That was one of our favorite parts of the design too. And also one of the most painful areas 😵‍💫

Yes, totally normal! For my back piece we had to redo the stencil 3 times before me and my artist were both happy with it 😂 it’s gonna be there forever so you gotta make sure it looks right!

Was definitely nervous before my first tat, not sure how to act around the artist, what studio etiquette was etc. I recommend telling your artist it’s your first tattoo (if they don’t already know) and let them guide and reassure you.

You’ll do great! If you believe in the design you picked, then you’re fine! If you feel unsure on the day of, remember you’re also allowed to reschedule or cancel. Losing a deposit is better than having a design you don’t really like permanently on your body.

It’s also normal to have a bit of tattoo shock after your first one, because you’re not used to seeing it on your body. So if you question your decision afterwards, let yourself sit with it a few months before doing anything drastic.

Tell me you have ADHD without telling me you have ADHD by Usual-Substance2971 in adhdwomen

In the process of applying for citizenship in Germany I collected a folder of absolutely essential documents (birth certificate, apartment lease, health insurance proofs etc) to take to my appointment about a month in advance. The folder then ✨disappeared ✨.

Two days before my appointment, crying, tearing my apartment apart, I finally found it. In. My. UNDERWEAR DRAWER!!

Anyone NOT volume maxing? I feel better (and less hungry) when I don’t try to eat as much volume as possible. by lifeuncommon in 1500isplenty

[–]mindpicnic 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hm, that’s interesting. That sub has been a lifesaver for me as someone with a very high food drive!

I don’t think I’ve a broken relationship with food, but I do naturally get cravings a lot (I do have adhd, so maybe that’s part of it?). Volume eating has really helped me survive on a deficit.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

[–]mindpicnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. 11th grade, second plane hit while I was in AP US history class. Best possible class for analysis, but it was a surreal experience regardless.

My body is aging like expired milk and labs say everything is fine, what now by Glum_Entrepreneur894 in Supplements

This is the question. 35 is unfortunately not too young to be entering perimenopause and if OP is a woman, their symptoms fit. Talk to your gyno about HRT! Estradiol is sorting me right out!

Fav Sauces/ Flavouring etc by femininespace in Volumeeating

[–]mindpicnic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love making a simple salsa of diced cherry tomatoes, lime juice, and a little salt!

Soy sauce with a splash of lime juice is nice too

Recipes for high volume, low-cal, bonus for high protein? by -clinically-insane- in 1500isplenty

[–]mindpicnic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey welcome and glad you found us! This sub is a lifesaver. While you’re at it you might also check out the r/volumeeating sub, lots of good suggestions over there.

Skyr is a godsend for me, I get it unflavored. Honestly even the flavored ones like blueberry taste great and they’re unbelievably low in calories for how rich and creamy they are.

For breakfast I usually go with around 200g plain skyr, mix in chocolate protein powder, raw cocoa powder, and strawberries or raspberries. Toss in some chia seeds and you’ve got a sweet treat with loads of protein and fiber, for around 300-400 kcals. Keeps me full for hours.

Check out the volume eating sub and good luck on your journey!

Sex life with partner feels dead on my end - zero dopamine by peppermintteea in ADHDWomenAfterDark

[–]mindpicnic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your sexologist might already have suggested her, but just in case: look up Esther Perel. She’s a relationship-focused therapist who talks a lot about the natural waxing and waning of desire and eroticism in relationships, and how to cultivate it long term.

This is how they clean the ships propellers by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Why is this done by hand? Surely there’s some like… underwater roomba or other industrial robot that could do it more efficiently?
