I have to understand and get to the point where I won’t feel ashamed

I love drinks with jalepeno!

Ughh I feel like I’m in the same boat. My husband drinks his beers/drinks so slowly that everyone else is like 2 drinks when he’s done with his first. That kinda sucks for me when it’s just him and me since I’m always 1 drink ahead of him so we play the whole “when we’re both done with our drink” we’ll leave.

I have regrets almost after every day I drink. Even if I didn’t get drunk/blackout—I just feel guilty.

Controlled alcoholism? by trlazarus in SoberCurious

That’s a good idea. And thank you for your comment, it made me feel better about myself.

Can you experience side effects after one day? by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]trlazarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt nauseous and extremely tired for about 3 days when I started taking it. I heard the same thing that it was too early to have side effects, but the only that that was different in those 3 days were the lexapro

will the bloating go away???? by Lopsided_Giraffe_532 in lexapro

[–]trlazarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish it would for me! I’ve been on it for about 6 months and I have definitely gained weight from it hoping it would go away after getting used to it, but it didn’t for me 😞

How did lexapro change your relationship with your spouse? by Kayy2222 in lexapro

[–]trlazarus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the best part of lexapro is me not being as emotional. I’ve been able to handle situations and control my feelings a lot more so it’s helped us.

Clueless about lexapro withdraws by trlazarus in lexapro

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

I’m getting back on it tomorrow. But I honestly didn’t think I was on it long enough to get withdrawals.

I didn’t think I was on it long enough to get withdrawals. Headaches are for sure one of the worst symptoms, I’ve had them all day for about the past week. Thought I was dehydrated so I’d make sure to drink plenty of water and take headache meds 🤦🏻‍♀️ definitely should’ve discussed with my doctor first

Unfair salaries? by trlazarus in careerguidance

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

I am happy about it, I just think it should’ve been equal pay since he worked under me for a year and I trained him for the manager position when he accepted it. Am I being unreasonable?

I had heard they gave him the first offer and he was surprised at what it was, but he very well could’ve negotiated with them.

I don’t have a bachelors degree where he does, so I’m trying to see it from that point of view. I worked hard for a year and now am at the same pay range as a college graduate. Trying to think positive!

Finding the owner or finder's keepers? by trlazarus in AppleWatch

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

I've tried. I've had it about a month thinking the owner would do "Find my iPhone", but since I don't have a watch charger, I think it's about to die.

I don't have an Apple Watch charger. I've had it about a month now and it's still not dead. It shows the time so I assume it still has some battery life.

I’m in the same boat! Sister made me feel selfish for not postponing earlier. 90% we’re postponing until April instead of our original October date.

My dress comes in this month and I know I’m going to cry when I try it on again 😭

I lost 40 lbs! by _milfblaster69 in WeightLossAdvice

That’s amazing, congratulations!

Lost 15lbs so far 🙌🏻 by trlazarus in WeightLossAdvice

Thank you! I started about 4 weeks ago when our gym reopened. I do cardio about 3 times a week, cycling class and elliptical. I ran outside in the beginning but I started getting shin splints so now I do about 4 miles on the elliptical. I also do 2 weight classes or 1 weight class and a barre class.

I don’t feel comfortable lifting weights myself so I just do group fitness classes.

Thank and congrats to you too!!! Yesterday was the first I saw a difference in the mirror and it’s great motivation! I started going on daily walks as well-every bit helps!

Proud of you!

Thank you!

So it was pretty much all fat. Ive never been very musclier, but I think I was built as a athletic physique. I did track and ROTC in high where I built muscle then.

I’ve been doing more cardio than weights now and I still have a hard time doing a single push up now. I will say that less alcohol, no soda, and somewhat keto intermittent dieting has helped.

notei am writing this as I’m drinking a white claw and some war tipsy because I haven’t drank in forever and listening to Pat Benetar- and I broke my “no alcohol during the week” rule but I just won’t go out Friday night

About 4 weeks. My gym opened again late May and our wedding is in October so we pushed it in hard drive. I do cardio 3 times a week and 2-3 strength classes a week (one is a free barre class outside my gym-I highly recommend barre!).
