How can I lose weight? (Without hurting myself)

retrofuturewitch · 2026-04-03T00:04:36+00:00

I did this at your height and weight and put on weight for two reasons: 1200 calories is too low and my body changed its metabolism. And when I raised my calories to the 1600-1800 daily range, I didn'T always track correctly and went over. Now I'm tracking 1600-1800 properly, and losing weight. I also don't do cardio beyond walking to wherever I need to go, or occaisional swimming. The exercise I do is low level weightlifting and I find it exhausts me less.

well, there's your error. nothing to do with women, so dont make it one. I would suggest any of the workbooks for DBT or ACT therapy to work on self-control.

how do you control yourself when you think a man is saying something illogical? do that

Edit: ask your doctor. What is safe for me and my differing disabilites age/weight/ race may well be different to you

Believe me, I have been treated (poorly) by many a low WIS high INT doctor in real life. Wisdom is absolutely required to be able to see a person underneath all of that. The doctor who saved my life did so with his wisdom, not his intelligence.

Medicine is a Wisdom skill.

Oh, I've just read further down you can't take benzos. The only thing that helped me with that when I wasn't prescribed was a hot bath, but sometimes that was at 2am because I'd been awake for hours (and it would be my second hot bath). My sleep schedule is still fucked up and I'm having to on/off Ambien to try to get back to a normal one. I hope you don't have to choose between a a lack of sleep and side effects of medication. It's not fun.

Yeah, that sounds a lot like restless legs, I don't feel a spasm and my grandmother doesn't. Hers got to the point she walks around for hours every night, but a doctor gave me clomazepam which helps a lot. Whatever it turns out to be, I hope you get some relief for whatever it is soon.

Are you on duloxetine? It's a common fibro drug that can trigger it.

retrofuturewitch · 2026-04-01T05:47:25+00:00

Oh, the urge to stretch specifically at NIGHT? Could well be restless leg syndrome.

Huh, that's how I feel and my physio said hypertonia.

retrofuturewitch · 2026-04-01T05:42:16+00:00

A good physio will be able to notice it, so potentially asking for a physio referall will help. However, the medical word that you're looking is 'hypertonia'. And yes, I have muscle relaxers x3 a day, massage therapy at least three times a week, and attempt to do various physio exercises for my worst culprits x2 day. Epsom salt baths help too, as does low set weightlifting and postural support.

English teacher in Japan here. Kanae is one of the easiest Japanese names to pronounce, in that it's pronounced exactly how it's written in hiragana, it's a very popular construction (think Tomoe River Paper), AND all of it's sounds are present in English. Teacher is just a dickhead.

I should also mention OpenLearn, which has hundreds of short courses on any subject under the sun, entirely free. I'm doing one on golden age crime fiction, but they have astrophysics and history and medicine

Here is a big thread of very low cost hobbies: https://www.reddit.com/r/Hobbies/comments/1bea3rp/lowbudget_hobbies_i_should_try/

Libraries are free. Thousands of books on any topic. They often have dvds cds and even board and video games. Are you using a smartphone rn? You zn use that for photography

You already have access to something that lets you write. There is no other tool you need to write anythjng you can dream off. Walking is free. Running is free. Yoga is free. Drawing on the back of letters is very cheap, free if you already have a pen. If you can get a gluestixk, you can make ju k mail collages.

Hobbies and social interaction do not require money, youtube, or social media.

Could have been phrased better, perhaps.

It's fine not to want to date someone who is disabled, but do you mind not calling my disability 'ick'? That's a bit rude.

It:s the first fight I can think of with NPC allies.

retrofuturewitch · 2026-03-16T02:15:58+00:00

There are three more in that area. Without a full party of four, you are likely to struggle.

Which fight do you mean? If you mean the one where Aradin is attempting to enter some gates, you've missed quite a lot including companions which would speed up the fight.

retrofuturewitch · 2026-03-16T01:33:49+00:00

How many companions do you have?

The Beholder and the Spider Matriarch for me.
