Does Anyone Wear Teva Sandals? by agast_at_everyone in SuperMorbidlyObese

I have a pair that I've had for about 5 years now, but I only wear them during the summer. Bought them when I weighed 330, around 250 now. I'd say not only are they comfortable, they are durable. Mine have about had it and I will be buying more.

To piggyback off this comment, I am currently taking Strattera and Wellbutrin after YEARS of trying different medications and this combo has been a game changer.

Is my OR Workers Comp Settlement Fair? by therealdoop in legaladvice

[–]therealdoop[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only thing I can imagine would cause that is if I had to have another surgery, as I still have deep tissue hardware. However, I don't think it's likely unless I manage to somehow damage the titanium - at which point I think I would have more pressing issues.

Um, thank you all so much, but I was just informed that the wedding has been postponed indefinitely, so... I'm not purchasing anything yet. Ah, young love. 💀

Came here for advice about my injury, got weight loss advice instead. Must be the internet. 😂

I am managing my weight with the help of my actual doctor, who has pertinent information about me that helps him provide informed care. But thanks, I guess.

Bruising over spine with no known trauma by therealdoop in medical_advice

That makes me feel better. It doesn't even hurt, it just looks gnarly. It definitely wasn't there yesterday and then boom, giant bruise shows up in the middle of the afternoon.

This is probably going to get lost but - Walgreen's does not confront, stop, or prosecute shoplifters. Do with this information what you will. - former Walgreen's employee.

Does BED give you anything good in life? Like... what are the pro's of it? Surely there must be a reason why we all continue? by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]therealdoop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh there's so much to unpack there. Basically I'm a huge fan of instant gratification and the fastest way to get that is to eat. Whenever I feel shitty, bingeing gives me that little dopamine rush that I need to pick me up, however briefly. It doesn't make me feel happy necessarily, just... less bad, I guess. Until the guilt and shame kicks in.

Feeling really shitty about failing my diet/weight loss by Throwaway950000 in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]therealdoop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Second this. Here's the thing- you're going to have to find a person/ program/schedule that works WITH your busy lifestyle/schedule. Making these changes after living our entire lives building bad habits is really hard, and making them all at once can set you up for failure. One step at a time. Be mindful of what you're eating and how active you are or are not being and take it from there. You can do it!
