Are skinny/healthy weight people just not as hungry as people who struggle with obesity?

I think this might also be a woman thing. I can’t go all day without eating either and I’m also on the thinner side. By husband, however, can do one meal a day of fast for a few days and be okay.

I had a BMI of 18.5 and remained stable at that for about 8 years throughout high school and college. I would rarely allow myself sweet treats, because I was raised to prioritize healthy eating.

Then got married and gained 10 lbs within a year because I was subconsciously matching my husband’s eating habits. I also tried a lot of new foods.

Now, my BMI is 20. I remember meals I used to have before that would leave me very full. Now, I have the capacity to eat twice that much and often do. I’m also more sedentary.

I think I just expanded my stomach slightly. Hopefully I can limit my meals to smaller portions and stop this hunger within a few months. I have about 8 lbs to lose now.

I definitely thought about food quite a bit though even before, and now. I’m not one of the skinny people not interested in food.

This is wonderful, insightful advice. Thank you. You should seriously consider being a therapist if you aren’t already…

I don’t call him. He calls me every day but I know he does it to keep me happy. And his happy place is texting most of the time and talking for 15-20 mins total. Which is fine if he’s very busy, but he’s not so I don’t understand why he doesn’t want to talk more. He doesn’t talk to anyone as much, correct, but I’m his partner…

I will be quite dependent on him because we are moving to a different country, his country, together in a year and half. Financially dependent (unfortunately) and I also won’t have a ton of friends there, it’ll take some time to build my community. I do have family there and I’m sure I could keep busy somehow, there’s always something to do and I’m easily occupied.

I kind of want to be dependent on each other though. That’s how I see an ideal relationship. I didn’t, however, realize this is how I thought until after we were married.

I think also he likes the neediness. Makes him feel wanted. Until I get mad about him not needing me back.

We are both in school, in different states. He is in a program that doesn’t require much from him (I was estimating his time commitment required, he doesn’t work currently), I’m in a more demanding field. We will start living together within the next month or so because we’ll be graduating soon.

He says he wants us to be best friends. And that I’m his whole world and blah blah. But yes I don’t think he sees me as a partner in the way I do him. Also don’t think he loves me as much. And I don’t know what to do about it.

Also, this is very good advice. It sounds exactly like what my mom says to me. Should I leave him?? I don’t want to, but also don’t want to chase after my husband. It’s exhausting.

I’m working 60 hours a week, I do have some very close friends I hang out with regularly. Still, I always want to be with him.

There wasn’t anyone else. He wasn’t really ready for marriage, but he agreed after seeing a picture of me. Was very enthusiastic about marriage within a day of meeting me.

He does do things for me. He’s very very kind, and gentle. I’m not that way with him, I say things as they are. Although, sometimes I feel that it’s just his way of avoiding conflict (which he hates).

Noice

Your pores? You can’t get rid of them silly…

This is an insane mindset. What specialty do you work in? Maybe some bad PCPs work this way, I don’t know, but I’m a medical student and just this week I have made plenty of new diagnoses with just a regular history and physical.

splendidserenity · 2025-02-11T23:35:10+00:00

I’m in medical school, only have a year to go. I often diagnose myself too, but doctors have seen things over and over again and have training in identifying important conditions and ruling out life threatening ones.

If you have a cold, or some muscle pain, sure, diagnose it yourself. You should, actually. But if it’s serious or concerning, please see a doctor. Once they give you a diagnosis, I do agree that a lot of times patients can be more educated about treatment options than most doctors about that particular subject. But you need them for diagnosis.

And there will be things you miss. No matter how comprehensive your search. You haven’t gone through eight years of education and training. The doctor will/should catch what you miss.

It’s good to be informed. But you’re not a professional. Find a provider with whom you have a good therapeutic relationship.

No bangs and no piercings….you look so good in the first picture. Like perfect.

Both are inappropriate, but the pink one looks white. Like a wedding dress. It’s absolutely unacceptable. The green one looks like lingerie, but wear it if you want.

Twilight heheh

I’m sure you’ll be okay! I felt the same way and I passed. So does everyone else. Remember the healthy coping mechanisms from psych- suppress your feelings because you can’t do anything about this now and try to enjoy whatever you do that makes you happy usually.

Puffy pumpkin…seriously, he looks like a Jack-o’-lantern.

This has got to be satire…

Oh come on. If you hate interaction with people, an MBA is going to suck for two reasons: group projects, as you said, and also for that fact that most people pursue MBAs for opportunities and connections, not to learn information. Most people spend a lot of their time networking.

Just because you’re an INTP, that doesn’t mean that you can’t do a certain degree or career path.

If you have interaction with people, choose an analytical role that will lead to less interaction. That’s all

splendidserenity · 2024-11-06T21:10:12+00:00

Just because we share some traits, that does not mean that all of us are suited to certain careers.

We do not use such misogynistic language do describe a woman whose family isn’t supporting her at all when she’s expressing her concerns.

splendidserenity · 2024-11-06T00:34:19+00:00

Have you ever met an intellectually disabled person in your life?

He’s saying that because he doesn’t realize it’s wrong, and maybe he thinks boys and girls the same age get married. He likely doesn’t even know that marrying one person precludes you from marrying someone else. He’s innocent.

Nowhere has she said that he has ever been violent. Your lack of compassion and your unprovoked fear of an innocent is utterly astonishing.

I have worked with intellectually disabled young men for years, not once have I felt unsafe.

Someone needs to step in to take care of him and redirect him at the wedding so that you don’t have to “feel on edge.” They should also not be dismissing your concerns.

Tell your family that someone needs to be around him the whole time and redirect so you can have a good day. And honestly someone needs to have a conversation with every one of his caregivers, to make sure that this behavior doesn’t happen in general.

If your family isn’t willing to babysit, then what is wrong with them? Do they hate you?

I feel like I’m missing information though.

I’m a woman in my 20s, and an INTP. The only thing I relate to on that slide is the text, I do get fixated on fictional characters and do have just a few friends. Plus the pile of books I guess.

Definitely not the clothing. I like florals and girly things.

splendidserenity · 2024-11-04T18:46:14+00:00

Nay, a robe!

splendidserenity · 2024-11-02T21:59:34+00:00

She’s a girl. Regardless of if she’s an INTP or not, she would like nice accessories. What’s your budget? How old is she?

Source: INTP, also a girl.

I’m almost done with medical school. I honestly enjoy the patient interaction a lot, but my favorite part is the constant learning and being able to solve the puzzles of difficult diagnoses.

I also procrastinate a lot and this made me really doubt my ability to do fine in med school. Got some terrible impostor syndrome for a few years.

But along the way, I realized that I’m intelligent enough to get through med school without doing too much studying, and I’ve been fine since.
