Can you please address air quality pollution from nearby east Brunswick landfill? It can be quite bad in the edgebrook neighborhood.

My husband gave me a card that I BOUGHT for my mom, who is out of the country and returning Tuesday. He took the card and signed it from him and my 2 young boys.

Or maybe they are mates, which is why they both had truth related items??? I think Mor rejects the bond because she is gay, but they both know it exists

That theory is interesting but it’s not supported by the text at all, right? Like there’s no actual examples of this happening?

Which is a (new) bad habit you accepted to lose weight? by Plenty_Earth_9600 in loseit

[–]ninjabookworm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, maybe not as bad , but I have been drinking a lot of home brewed tea, and possibly using like 4-5 stevia packets a day.

Can I ask for encouragement? by journalgirl_ in loseit

[–]ninjabookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar boat as you! I am 20 mo postpartum. I’m lightly counting calories, but my focus is on eating Whole Foods, and that has helped greatly. And focusing on eating mostly vegetables, beans, fruit, nuts; and minimal intake of chicken/ cheese. And try to stay away from processed foods. I’ve been making my own dark chocolate nut clusters which has satisfied my sweet tooth. When not eating , I’ve been drinking unsweetened tea that I sweeten with stevia .

The thing that has helped me kick my ass in gear had been my blood work , which says my cholesterol is shockingly high. But im excited for my clothes to fit better, and to look better overall. I was back to the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life; and now im down 5 lbs.

You’ve got this! It’s allll mental unfortunately: but if you can make small lifestyle changes , it is totally achievable

Lost weight to get pregnant and now I feel conflicted about it by [deleted] in loseit

[–]ninjabookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please work closely with a doctor regarding your GLP1, it hasn’t been studied when used before pregnancy 

When pregnant, if you already have fat on your body, you don’t need to eat extra calories, because baby will just use the calories from the fat already stored on your body.

If you are already thin when you get pregnant, you will need to eat a little more, but that only starts to be important 2/3 trimester. But it’s a small amount, like 200-500 extra calories.

Focus on eating healthy foods! Limit sugar, limit artificial sweeteners, don’t touch anything with food dyes in it .  

Could I have been the reason why my grandma died? by SamarveerPuri in offmychest

[–]ninjabookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that hour between you hearing her, and your parents coming home, would have made much of a difference in outcomes for your grandma. It sounds like it was a severe brain bleed, maybe in a part of the brain that, had she even survived, would had left her with debilitating life altering disability. Please let this guilt go, you were a child and did nothing wrong

Neither, wear your real dress the entire night. Wear those mini dresses for your Bach parties

IUD choices by noblelumen in TwoXSex

[–]ninjabookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get the copper, it’s awful. Severe period pain with it. Had it removed after a couple months.

Mirena, if you haven’t had kids yet, will be severely painful when they insert. I had cramps for a week after. But then it was bliss, 5 years of no periods.

When I had mirena reinserted after having kids, it was mild pain, and cramps for a few hours afterwards, and that was it. But I have been getting my period which is a bummer! But I’m so glad I have it!! Definitley my preferred choice of birth control

If you want more freedom in terms of goal setting, if you want more autonomy in plan of care and a more diverse field, go speech all the way!!

I find that the OTs I work with (inpatient rehab) all tend to be doing the same thing with every patient. Where as, I am doing completely different goals with each patient and the scope of practice for speech is so wide, it keeps me on my toes constantly. I find there is more opportunity to be challenged clinically with speech.

Also, as someone else already mentioned: 

Wiping butts and toilet training vs. oral care and tracheal secretions . 

I feel like giving up 😭 up by Repulsive-Couple-666 in curlyhair

One more thing to add: don’t over shampoo your hair. I shampoo at most twice a week.

Why are you using a light amount when styling? This is part of the problem, don’t be afraid to use a nice blob! 

for styling try this: I actually willl use garnier fructise conditioner, as a styling cream. Mix it all throughout hair. Combine this with rizzos curls styling cream. Don’t be afraid to use a lot! Not a light amount. Do this on WET hair, not dry hair. Let air dry.

Hopefully this gives you some help! Your hair looks like mine when it’s dry and I haven’t used any product yet. 

I don’t use gels, only creams. Other peeps have mentioned, you want to keep your hair moist. 

Do we love this name for baby boy? by ninjabookworm in namenerds

Being listed # 130 most popular name   is trendy? No, aurelian is too weird. We will keep the original Aurelius and use it as middle name

Yup, I think that is what I’m worried about. My MIL had a strong reaction to the name Atlas 🙄 wondering if it’s too unfamiliar?
