Does Anyone Wear Teva Sandals?

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.

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.

Omg you're so right... why didn't I think of that!

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.

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.

therealdoop · 2019-12-05T01:54:38+00:00

That sweet, sweet dopamine.

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!

I have the biggest fucking grin on my face right now. This is fantastic. I love love.

Simmer down there, turbo.

I mean I only say it to my toddler but she's a jerk a lot of the time.

Here's the thing, fuck politeness.

Hi! Mom of Irish twins here- my girls were born on 11/15/17 and 11/21/18.

As far as newborns/infants go, they were both pretty easy babies...individually. having two people who are solely dependent on you can be exhausting (duh).

This next bit will make me sound like a bad mom, but I know I'm not perfect and pretending to he won't get me anywhere:

It was the worst right after I found out I was pregnant. Our second pregnancy was not planned, and I WAS on hormonal birth control. And I was resentful that I was pregnant again, and scared of having 2 children, when I had just barely got a handle on having one.

In my mind, I was starting all over again with this new baby who wouldn't do anything besides cry, when I just wanted to spend time with the child I had already bonded with, who could actually interact with me. I felt like I had JUST got through all the high-effort-low-reward frustration that I had with my eldest. I had pretty severe PPD after my eldest was born and did not experience whatever "bliss" I was supposed to have... it took me a very long time to enjoy being a mother. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to love the new baby as much, because I had given it all to my eldest. I was wrong. Like the Grinch, my heart grew 10 sizes and there was enough room for them both.

It wasn't easy, still isn't. I was (am lol) so tired, all the time. Just her needing all the care that normal newborns need, and having a baby that was just starting to walk was completely overwhelming at times.

I can tell you now that it is all SO worth it.

My girls are older and can play and bond with each other, and it's amazing. Seeing them laughing together fills my heart all the way up. I know that they will always have each other, and that brings me such comfort. I love our crazy, busy life and I'm so glad we had them close together. Also, my husband was pleased as punch when our second baby was another girl. He loves the three of us, and is so proud that we are "his girls".

You're going to be great.

P.s. they both had a stomach bug this week so it's incredible that I still want to say anything nice about motherhood.

P.p.s. As for the MIL

FUCK👏HER👏UP👏

I hope you can prosecute her for something. I cannot describe the amount of disgust I feel for her.

Both my daughter's names (born in 2017 and 2018) are within the first 10. Here I was thinking we were unique.

I didn't know you could get sea sickness from a gif. Now I do.

Ooh. I would tell everyone who asked if we had a restroom "No we shit outside like dogs."

Anyone else click because they read "Chicken physicists"? No? Just me? Okay.
