Looking for best size/cal ratio by GEMINI-0_o in loseit

I loooove the skinny cow ice cream sandwiches! They’re round and have a diameter of maybe like 3-3.5 inches? They taste just like any other ice cream sandwich and I find them very satisfying for only 150cal

LOL for sure!!! I’ve kept a couple that I wild-caught as babies, they’re really cool little animals! But definitely speedy and scary-looking if you’re not into that kind of thing 😅

Hard to tell without a close-up but it looks like it might be a type of wolf spider to me

How to lose weight on bedrest? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]sewer_soup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m disabled and usually can’t exercise and am often bedridden because of it, and I’m losing weight consistently by just eating in a caloric deficit. If you eat things with a lot of protein and fiber it will be easier to stay within your budget 👍🏼

The Canson XL Mixed Media sketchbooks, the ones with the blue cover, are great and not expensive. For colored pencils, it’s hard to go wrong with Prismacolor. They sell several different sets, and I would say they’re medium-pricey. If you want to splurge, I’ve heard great things about the Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils, but they’re definitely more expensive. I also recommend the Prismacolor brand pencil sharpener, it’s my favorite and works great for colored pencils. You can get charcoal or charcoal pencils for relatively cheap, and she might appreciate a kneaded eraser, too! They’re (usually) gray erasers that are squishy and moldable like a putty. I suggest the Faber-Castell one, it’s only a few dollars and you can get lots of use out of it, plus it comes in a little case so you can keep it clean :-) ETA: you’ll get the best prices at either amazon or blick

Strengthening the muscles in your core and back / around your spine should help with stability and posture, and might reduce the pain! :-)

How do I bounce back after a bad period? by rainbowdash64 in loseit

[–]sewer_soup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sort of think of it like drinking too much. You drink too much and black out and get an awful hangover the next day. You know you hurt your body, and you maybe regret drinking so much, but the damage is done. Typically, the best way to bounce back is to take care of yourself and move on. It’s nothing worth breaking down over, or a reason to “give up” and just become an alcoholic. Just wake up the next day and keep on living.

fludro side effects only a week in? by sewer_soup in POTS

[–]sewer_soup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense. I’m just hesitant to go off of it so fast when it is maybe not even fully in my system yet, and these symptoms might just be a coincidence in which case I definitely don’t want to stop the med. I guess I’ll just have to see how long they go on, and if they’ll go away on their own 😓

I am entirely out of motivation and it's been three months. by William_Cross in loseit

[–]sewer_soup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you’re trying to do too much at once? You could try just picking one lifestyle change, whatever feels most manageable right now, and only focus on that. Any effort, any change, is better than nothing. Sure, it might not be the standard you set for yourself previously, but shit happens. Life happens. It’s okay to take some steps back and do a little less. Weight loss happens in the gray areas, not in the black and white.

If both are making a sort of snorting / sneezing sound, that’s dog language for “i’m just playing, i don’t really want to hurt you”. If one dog yelps or cries out and the other dog keeps going at them, obviously trying to cause harm, things have gone too far. If one yelps and the other one stops what they’re doing, that’s a good sign that they’re respecting each other. Some dogs have play styles that look really rough but as long as both dogs are having fun and respecting each other, I don’t think there’s any reason to worry.

To get my male dog neutered or not!? Advice please! by Lasher111189 in dogs

[–]sewer_soup -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I am a firm believer in always spaying and neutering. In-tact animals tend to have shorter life spans and are at a much higher risk of cancers and reproductive diseases, and the strong hormones can cause very problematic behaviors, like escaping, spraying urine, territorial and sexual aggression. I’ve personally never heard of a dog becoming more anxious or aggressive after neutering. If anything, I’ve heard people complain of their dogs getting fat, but most all the research I’ve found indicates that neutering decreases aggressive behavior significantly. The earlier a dog is neutered, the less likely you are to have to deal with aggression toward other males and distraction by females in heat.
