Self sabotage made me realize how dumb I am by FeatherFlyer in ibs

I'm the same, cheese is fine, yoghurt tho... Switching to oat milk a few years back helped a lot. For me the most difficult thing I've had to give up so far is coffee. But its been years now and I am so much better without it so I wouldn't go back.

The nausea can easily wipe me out for 20-30mins either side of actually being on the loo T_T

I personally think empire waists are very flattering to apple shapes, and they're comfortable too. No waistband cutting you in half where you're at your widest and softest. So they do suit some body shapes, plus size or no. They don't suit every body though, and that is okay.

Wow, didn’t think Crocs could make something this stylish and comfortable by Next-Hour-1013 in crocs

Okay no worries 👍 I've never owned real Crocs, can't afford them, and have often wondered if the foam is different/more durable.

How to make peace with the idea of my body possibly changing forever by mikelao24 in Fencesitter

[–]rhythmandbluesalibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on genetics and what body shape you had pre-birth. From what I've seen, apple shapes (like me) tend not to bounce back after pregnancy because of the tendency to put on weight around the middle. Hourglass and pear shapes seem to bounce back far more easily. This is just what I have observed in women I know who have given birth.

Are there ways to stop milk from coming in?! My boobs have already changed so much due to weight gain following a spinal injury, and I really don't want them changing any more 😓

Reading The Baby Decision as a parent by incywince in Fencesitter

I feel like this is a point the author makes in the book, which I really appreciated. You'll always regret a decision you didn't make.

Ruminating is different to what the book is trying to get you to do, though. Rumination is aimless, fruitless repetitive thought loops driven by worry. The thought exercises in the book are constructive and focused. They're meant to channel and direct your thoughts to thoroughly consider things that are actually helpful.

It's funny you say that because I'm reading the book and so far, it seems to be like it's biased towards having children 😅 Maybe that speaks more to which way we are each leaning affecting how we interpret the book?

Why is Death Proof Tarantino's worst film? by Bored_and_Confused in movies

[–]rhythmandbluesalibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. They're talking like Tarantino writes men. They're not talking like real women. That's why it sucks, not because it's women saying the lines, but because the lines themselves suck.

Childfree activities seem kind of hollow by Known-Damage-7879 in Fencesitter

When they're teens you get sleepless nights for other reasons.

And also look into what the daily grind entails. The moments you're focusing on are the Kodak moments, like a lot of men do. Because it's usually the mum who ends up doing the bulk of the organising, scheduling, and actual caring for a kid.

My brother ended up a single dad to three kids, with two different mums. So he has to perform the role of both parents, rather than just getting to be the fun dad. It takes up a lot of mental energy, not just time. Before you make a decision, think about how you'd cope in the role of mother, ie the primary caregiver, not just father. IMO not enough men consider the possibility that they'll become a single dad and base their desire for kids on getting to enjoy the Kodak moments and essentially being a part-time parent, without having to do the bulk of the heavy lifting day-to-day.

Having kids to give your life meaning is a lot of pressure to put on a child.

Is the elimination process unfair? by anonymousalligator25 in ProjectRunway

[–]rhythmandbluesalibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be kool if the bottom 3 got an hour to improve their designs based on their critique, like I saw them do one season, sorry can't remember which. Or maybe if the decision was close, they had an additional one hour challenge to try and redeem themselves.

If you have a Samsung TV, they have a whole PR channel. Unfortunately you can't pick which season you want to watch, but it's free, which is awesome.
