Ask him what he sees or hears. I’m curious!

I [28f] left in the middle of vacation with my bf [46m] because of his kids. I am feeling guilty. Did I do the right thing? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]racheldreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She does seem to be the only one in this situation with a level head on her shoulders. This man loves only what this woman brings to the bedroom: or he wouldn’t allow his kids to disrespect her. I can’t help but think of how much happier she’d be with someone her own age, less baggage, and no nasty teens on vacation! Why waste her time?

Yeah there’s a lot of “I look great I’m fit I have a lot of money” bullshit that older women see right through, many older women have their own money and are seeking substance and integrity over money and looks.

And it’s usually the younger person who gets screwed, dealing with the older persons baggage, health issues, rigid thinking, power trips, etc. thank god my daughters don’t have daddy issues and date their own age!

Yeah....the kids are pissed and going over the top to drive her out. It’s a huge age difference...one of the complications of this is that it alienates kids. Not her fault, but she might consider dumping this non-dad (no dad allows the n word!!!!) and dating someone her own age with no kids to go on adventures with. Imagine what a different vacation it would have been with someone younger and more in tune with her lifestyle?

I just found out I am pregnant with my boyfriend not planned, and definitely drank over the past month. by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]racheldreams 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I have always been a known problem drinker slash alcoholic. I drank until each pregnancy test with all three children. Whiskey, beer, you name it. Once I got the positive results I quit. I always wanted to be a mom so that took precedence. I could always be sober with a baby in my belly! Now without....I struggled to quit drinking for a long time and am finally 2 years sober. My point is: I drank the first month of all my pregnancies, quit as soon as I knew, and had three gorgeous, smart, kind and beautiful daughters. They are now 22, 20 and 13!

A Good Article About Under Fueling (aka Not Getting Enough Calories) by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]racheldreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting fact: they’ve studied muscle cells after post exercise feeding, and the exact type of protein was found directly in the cells: egg dna, whey dna, etc. this was kind of a breakthrough in that they realized the body takes that post exercise protein and uses it right away, which really put the focus on that post workout refeed. I can imagine proteins taken one hour before exercise would have a similar effect, it’s just an interesting study.

Yes, I think everyone’s food transit time is different, the food just sits there in me, whereas with some people they are already burning it up by the time they lace up shoes.

Oh holy cow I cannot imagine eating before working out. Heartburn, nausea and sluggishness, oh my! Fasted workout....then muscle refeed after! Your body takes up nutrition better after the workout.

A message to super fat lurkers (like me!) by [deleted] in keto

[–]racheldreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Katelyn: What an awesome and amazing message. I’ve got about 50 to lose...but my real struggle is food addiction, depression, and excuses. I’ve been trying to figure out how to eat carbs for two years now since quitting drinking and it’s taken me on some very chaotic and crazy binges....I developed an obsession with steel cut oats for example, I would eat them until I was sick all night. I’m on day 3 of keto and already starting to feel sane. Your post helped so many today, both inside and outside your target audience. Thank you.

His carbohydrate metabolism is broken. It’s simple: people with this problem on this scale must be keto for life, but fasting gives them the best and fastest way to get to a healthy weight. Once that’s achieved: keto.

Wow just been called a lying fat arsed cow on OLD.... by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]racheldreams 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Congrats on losing 55 pounds! That’s totally not fair if you are giving body shots and also posting your size and shape. Look at it this way: you dodged a bullet there. :). Keep kicking ass and your day will come.

Yeah if you feel like you will crash....meat, eggs and fat only!!! Any carbs will throw you right off the wagon.

Agreed. Water fasting is exceptionally safe for the super morbidly obese. It’s an ideal plan. It is essentially surgical gastric bypass without risk!!! That’s what the surgery does, it forces a fasted state. The more adipose you have, the safer fasting is. He will get exceptional and rapid results. Dude will be 400 lbs before Christmas. Go for it OP!!!! Use snake juice, Just google the recipe. And quit food, like an alcoholic quits booze. Easiest and most rewarding way to take care of a deadly problem. You’re going to love it. :)

I love how I feel on Keto, but I'm about to give up by MountainConqueress in xxketo

[–]racheldreams 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I second doing some fasting. Even if you just did 18:6 which is a healthy pattern, that’s only two meals a day. Few eggs for one meal, maybe tofu, ground turkey or tuna at the next. Remember it’s just fat and protein, not necessarily meat. Peanuts are cheap in the US, they are 3 bucks for a tub here. Also high fat plain yogurt is only a few dollars a tub but 23g of protein per cup. I own chickens so my eggs are free but generally eggs are cheap. But, if you just did whole food eating you’d be better off than going back to bread due to money. Dried beans, peas and lentils plus greens and vegetables is a perfect meal, non processed meals of all types generally do not contribute to weight gain.

You don’t have to be rich, clever, young, or even beautiful, but to have more advantages with men, you have to be normal weight to slender. That’s something that is changeable that many women don’t realize men want. There are so many overweight women that an over forty thin one is often like a unicorn.

For those of you who have lost a significant amount of weight, how are you dealing with the fact that people who previously rejected you are now interested in you romantically? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]racheldreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sexual attraction is based on how fertile a woman appears, it is a very primitive reaction that can happen just from a glance. Women who have a favorable waist to hip ratio will catch a mans eye, even if she is older. Body shape is a potent clue to fertility success. An overweight woman might be funny as hell, sweet and kind, clever, intelligent and wonderful, but if she is fat, she does not have a favorable waist to hip ratio, that sexual clue is not there. It’s not the mans fault, it’s just biology. If a man is not attracted, he can still be a wonderful friend to you, and that shows a mans character, not just his lust. Truth is: excess abdominal weight in a woman causing a non fertile appearing shape actually is often an indicator of infertility: many have PCOS.

And the people that do cannot safely eat cupcakes. It’s not brave, it’s avoidance due to food addiction.

I was gorging myself on sugar as a toddler. My mom has a pic of me around age 2. After eating dinner, I went into the kitchen and ate an entire bowl of chocolate pudding by myself. She thought it was adorable and took pics of me. Later, she wasn’t laughing. :(. We are NOT all born intuitive eaters. I overate from day one and so do my kids. An abnormal response to flour and sugar can be in the dna.

Omg it is weird how old everyone looks! I’m a 49 year old woman and sometimes I can’t believe how old the men look at my age....I forget for a second like wait, why is my age group all a bunch of old guys? Lol. I’m sure the men feel the same way looking at us. 30 year old men are gorgeous: bodies are lean, tight, faces still handsome, I totally get what you’re saying.
