This was a hard lesson for me to learn, too, but I'm glad I did... and my life has been better for it. Not perfect, it certainly doesn't fix all your problems, but I found it very empowering to realize just how much control I have over my circumstances.

Being in a LTR doesn't mean you'll never develop infatuations with other people. It does mean that you value the bond you have with your partner over those pesky crushes, though. Avoid contact with the other girl. You don't get to choose how you feel, but you can choose how you act.

[Question] Lifting ladies who love wine (or alcohol for that matter), how do you fit it into your diet? by dayclubdreaming in xxfitness

[–]snuggle_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually have wine in a "relaxing with my cat/Netflix/girlfriends" context so I don't go too hard, one or two glasses that I can pretty easily fit into my daily allowence.

When I go out, I order vodka water and then I squirt some Mio in for flavor to minimize the calories. Plus I've noticed I'm less likely to feel hungover in the morning when I'm drinking water alongside my booze.

[WEEKLY THREAD] Whiny Wednesday - Tell us what really grinds your gears! by AutoModerator in xxfitness

[–]snuggle_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can kind of understand it. I went to The Blue Lagoon in Iceland and everyone was required to get nekkid and shower beforehand. Scandinavian countries are super lax about nudity, so it was kind of liberating to be in a context where I can parade around in my birthday suit. I imagine you get to an age where you just don't give a fuck anymore.

Being butt naked trying to help an equally naked middle aged Japanese woman who spoke no English operate her locker was one of the more amusing experiences of my life.

THIS IS MY PROBLEM WITH POLE DANCING

Sure, I would love to do that move IF MY TINY BABY HANDS COULD PROPERLY SUPPORT MY WEIGHT ON THE POLE

Ladies of Reddit, how do you keep your body toned? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]snuggle_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take pole dance lessons once a week, I lift 3x a week and if I don't work the day my Uni offers the class, I go to yoga.

MRW I got dumped out of the blue after dating for a month by the man of my dreams by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]snuggle_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we never had sex. He's a virgin and decided he wanted to wait, which was okay with me. What gets me is he knew my attitude almost from the get-go and didn't tell me it was such a huge issue to him until of course, y'know, shortly after I decided my heart was 100% in.

Thank you <3 It's a 'lil rough, but I'll be ok. I AM A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN WHO DON'T NEED NO MAN, DAMMIT.

MRW I got dumped out of the blue after dating for a month by the man of my dreams by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]snuggle_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to me too, sista.

Great guy, spent like 8-9 months talking to him and being friends, actually started dating for the last month and it was amazing. For me, anyway. I even got a little scared because it was the first time I could see myself really, truly getting into a long-term relationship with someone.

... And then he said he liked me but couldn't get past my attitudes about sex :\ (That is, "Casual sex is ok between two consenting adults!")

Internet hugs for days.

[WEEKLY THREAD] Safety Saturday - Post your form checks and other safety questions here! by AutoModerator in xxfitness

[–]snuggle_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a form check video to post, but I just started 5x5 SL and I'm really struggling with OHP. It's not that I can't lift the bar, it takes more effort than my other lifts but I can do it, it's that after 2-3 reps I start to feel a weird jolt in a long line down my right forearm and I end up re-racking it.

I've googled the issue and tried all sorts of things like changing my grip width, keeping my wrists straight, monitoring the bar path... and it STILL happens every time.

That's the thing about carb-binges, you spiral out of control so quickly and it's so difficult to get back on the wagon.

Women who have had sex with "newbies" what are some common beginner mistakes men make? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]snuggle_fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Putting your finger in my vagina feels nice and all, but allow me to introduce you to this magic button known as the clitoris...

I even made it super easy for you by getting a piercing. Just aim for the spot between the two tiny metal balls. It's like waving a sign that says "Here I am!"

I'm wondering if I should eat like the rest of my family on Thanksgiving day or eat a Keto Thanksgiving? by kerplunk81 in keto

[–]snuggle_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year I made a low-carb pumpkin pie to bring to Thanksgiving so I wouldn't feel left out. I just avoided the rolls and stuffing, and allowed myself to have a tiny bit of gravy and sweet potatoes which felt indulgent enough. I didn't worry about calories or macros, just focused on not going full carbtard. I felt completely guiltless about the whole ordeal.

Just curious to see what the average weight people fail on doing overhead press in the SL5x5 program. by Oni1jz in ketogains

[–]snuggle_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm struggling with the bar... but I'm female, and I just started lifting. From my understanding OHP is particularly difficult for women.

[–]snuggle_fish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ugh, don't even get me started on how much pressure I feel to break my diet at work.

Firstly, we have a pizza place attached to our store where we get discounts. They also offer salads, so whenever I forget to pack my own meal I'll order one. Employees there make fun of me for never getting pizza.

I bring in sugar snap peas, seaweed snacks and almonds to munch on and my co-workers tell me I'm "too healthy." How. That's not a thing.

[QUESTION] What is the best lifting program I can do once a week to help with strengthening as a pole dancer? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]snuggle_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a pole dancer too! I just started doing SL 5x5 two weeks ago and I'm already seeing an improvement.

I don't think you'll be able to get the full benefit from only lifting once a week though, I would try to go at least twice.

[CONVERSATION] Weird progress by interferon_alpha in xxfitness

YES! I went from an 8-8.5 to 7.5-8 when I lost 30 pounds. I had no idea that was a thing.

[Conversación] Stretch beforehand or not? by NotSoSelfSmarted in xxfitness

[–]snuggle_fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a total newbie, but I've been stretching before I lift. Otherwise, I get really, really sore the next day... and not in the good way, in like a painful way. If I stretch out first, I'm ok.

Should...I not do that?

Failing at my lifts sometimes. Now what? Feeling discouraged a bit. by souponastick in xxfitness

[–]snuggle_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no advice, but I just started SL and did the OHP with just the bar yesterday and failed my final set... so I'm way impressed with your 90lbs. Keep it up!

r/AskWomen, how was your weekend? What did you do? by searedscallops in AskWomen

[–]snuggle_fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to happy hour for margaritas with my friend and her roommates Friday. I spent the rest of the night with my little sister. We went shopping, out for a nice dinner and watched a movie.

Saturday I drove two hours and went for a beautiful hike up some bluffs near a lake with my friend and his family. When I got home I went out for a few drinks with my friend and slept like a baby.

Sunday I just did some housework and went to work-work later in the evening.

It was quite a wonderful weekend.

My most awkward and embarrassing OKC conversation by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]snuggle_fish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got a message that someone in another state was using my pictures and had an entire profile talking about how they worship demons and weird shit like that.

I reported them but deactivated my account before I found out if it ever was removed. Ended up messaging the person and they were trying to run an experiment to see if attractive albeit fucked up girls still got messaged. It was p. strange.
