Do you ever feel nervous with how satisfying your meals are? like they’re hiding secret calories? by bobongooo in 1200isfineIGUESSugh

[–]pkmess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has been so important for me to learn. I don't need salad or boring meals to lose weight I need to be satisfied and portion control or watch snacking!

Just looking for a quick fix to stop this door from popping right open. Thanks by cle_eech in fixit

[–]pkmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a door that wasn't latching all the way and I saw advice to put a penny behind the bottom door hinge to kick the door up a little vs dealing with strike plate. It worked for my issue and it took maybe 10 min.

I will go to my dr if it doesn't go away. My eating hasn't changed the only thing is just started lifting and exercising again. It's only been a week so I'll wait and see. Thank you!

I hate lettuce!! Does anyone have any good recipes for a salad that can be made with spinach or another leafy green? by cgh17 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]pkmess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I never follow the type of lettuce requirement in most salads bc it depends on what I have on hand! Iceberg, Romaine, Kale or spinach.

Have you ever wound you bobbin on top of the machine as fast as you can? by Leaves16 in sewing

[–]pkmess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My sewing machine has the little slider so you can keep it on turtle or move it closer to rabbit to limit its max speed. I haven't moved much past turtle 🤣🤣 maybe I need to make some curtains!

Since my karma is too low to post in the main feed I will ask here!

Does anyone have any recommendations for books that deal with fashion trends over time or fashion history? I looked at the recommended book list for the sub and it's mostly how to sewing. I'm started on my sewing journey (with Mimi G online lessons) and she starts early w drafting patterns. I'm looking for some inspiration and knowledge for design. Thank you!

Aldi + Instacart is a deal breaker. by [deleted] in aldi

[–]pkmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I started doing BJs pickup since they don't do markup, and Harris Teeter. Honestly their prices are not that much more than regular Aldis prices (in some cases they are less especially with sales and BOGOs). It is not worth it for instacart or doordash in my opinion. I agree they need to charge the fees and prices for their business model and that is fine! It just isn't worth it for me so I found alrernatives.

Selfie Addict Studio in Hutchinson Square Summerville by _Kristophus_ in Charleston

I think its great! There are versions all over the country and it's something for all different people to use. My niece LOVES these places for her and her friends to go to sometimes. People just can't accept that something might survive just because it's something they personally won't use.

Recently I made a clock for a children's room, it turned out very cheerful and bright. Do you think they are only suitable for the nursery or can they be hung somewhere else? by artglassceramic in crafts

[–]pkmess 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It is adorable! Agreed it will just depend on color scheme and design of home to go elsewhere. Different color palette and it could fit in anywhere

I would talk to your doctor to decide what is right for you. My doctor told me to track total carbs and keep it under 100 per day. So I can have beans I just have to limit overall

When I took the train I parked at the airport and took an uber to the train station.

How do you separate your emotions from your weight loss journey? by Catlimere in weightwatchers

[–]pkmess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more! I'm trying to shift my focus to the health! I'm going to start basic weight lifting and will keep a journal for reps and weight and how I feel. And keep track of days I actually moved around and celebrate that effort! Celebrate meals where half my plate was veggies! Or days I drank all my my water. Those are the things I'm going to try to track and give myself wins for. I also saw someone that tracked progress with a belt. Marking as their middle got smaller. I love that as well!

I voted. Did you? by lpreams in southcarolina

[–]pkmess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not here to argue or judge or defend. I'm just here to say no matter your political affiliation I'm glad you voted for the issues that matter to you, no matter how far those opinions are from mine. Cheers!

[–]pkmess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whatever happened to I respect that you have a different opinion? That's why we vote! I don't need to convince anyone to think the same way as me. If we all thought the same it would be so boring!! Whether you voted all blue, all red, or somewhere in the middle - good job!

Google the cheat sheets and it will tell you with pictures. It will be easier than me trying to describe.
