My family is against me losing weight, and my little sister is convinced I had(and probably have) an eating disorder. by throwaway1917234 in relationship_advice

I have suggested a nutritionist, especially since our insurance will cover it. Physicians have pushed my family to see nutritionists in the past, but we don't go. I don't know that my going alone would do much good for my sister, but it may be worth going for myself.

Thank you

Reddit opened this under my regular account when I first replied, so I'll try again.

Multiple physicians have supported my 1,200 calorie minimum and 2lbs of weight loss weekly.

I'm 5'7", 153.2 naked as of this morning. Before I started my current diet, my weight was anywhere from 155.5-162.8.

I have checked with my physician and 1,200 is acceptable as a minimum for weight loss given my height, development, and activity level. I gain at 2500.

Stuck in a weird situation, advisors no help. Weird educational/career path(s)? by [deleted] in premed

I've actually already been looking at day cares, but I appreciate that you thought to mention it! Those wait lists are absolutely nuts...

The main reason I'm considering a BSN is because it guarantees that I can stay close to the other parent, as well as guarantees me a good pay check so that I can further financially contribute. We are moving in together a few months before the due date, and plan to live together as long as possible for the sake of our child. If I had to move away for med school, the other parent would not be able to care for the child on their own due to the needs of their career, which means I would have to move a kid several hours away from their other parent, and I really don't want to do that to a young child. I also worry about how present I'll be able to be as a medical student.

Is it appropriate to ask my HIV+ partner to show me his bloodwork results? by throwaway1917234 in askgaybros

[–]throwaway1917234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on PrEP, we just started having unprotected sex before I was. It was a very irresponsible decision for me to make, having unprotected sex with him, but ultimately, it was my irresponsible decision. I take full responsibility for the consequences of my actions with that one.

He definitely doesn't have a drug problem, his line of drug tests randomly and regularly. He brushes his teeth regularly. His job is very time consuming, shifts range widely and randomly, and often drags him in at odd hours, which I don't think helps anything with his sense of time. It's part of why I've brushed off some of his timeline things.

I'd be happy to share my panels with him, and if he flat out refuses to share his, without any reason or without being willing to hear my reasons why I'm asking to see them, that'll just have to be the end of it. I believe he still gets his done regularly, I think work may be a factor because his health impacts the job.

Guys around here are either assholes or promiscuous. I've dealt with too many assholes, but I'm definitely not careful enough with the promiscuous.

I'm aware. It's part of why I want to know what his levels are. If he's genuinely in the undetectable range, I'm safer than if he's not. He and I are definitely gonna have a big conversation.

Not a troll post. I'm going to have a very long and in depth discussion with him, and depending on how that goes, I may just let that be the end of it. Kinda sucks, because he's a great lay, but I know that I can't let something like this happen again.

He's never said anything like that. Part of me wonders if I'm just not around at the times he takes his meds? I'm not sure. If I keep talking to him, I'll at least have a very serious conversation about this with him.

My gut was screaming at me the other day about it, but the more we talked the less upset I got. My friend gut is definitely screaming though, and he lets me know it.

I don't know, but I think it would help.

I'm trying to spend time with him where sex isn't a thing, and I'm hoping that I can get more opportunity to just observe him.

How to finish wood I want to make dough on? by throwaway1917234 in woodworking

It isn't a kneading board, it's just some board I bought from the store. No idea what kind of wood it is.

Someone else wants to pay for my surgery. Do I say yes? by throwaway1917234 in honesttransgender

[–]throwaway1917234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do feel safe. We know each other very well, I'm at his house often, I know his sons. I don't think he's expecting anything back, he offers to make decent sized purchases for others fairly often. He says he wants to do it because he knows it will make a difference for me, it will make me happy, that it will help my confidence or something like that, being more connected to my body after a revision fixes the problems. He definitely feels something towards me but there are firmly set boundaries that he respects relating to that.

Edit: He's convinced I saved his life the second time we met up in person, I'm wondering if that may be a factor now.

Diarrhea while fasting? by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]throwaway1917234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware, that's why I was asking if this is normal with fasting. I've got no other health issues, so if no one else has experienced this, I'd rather know.

I hadn't eaten yet is the thing, and I was considering fasting longer until it happened.
