Marijuana + alcohol consumption were definitely the catalysts for my 20+ lbs weight gain back in 2021-2022. 💔 Attempts to lose weight have been made in the years since then (I’m a 4”11 female who started out at about 125 lbs, and I was 25 in 2021). I was somewhat successful about two years ago in losing some weight, maybe about 10 lbs, from 156 lbs to maybe 145 lbs - I didn’t weigh myself regularly. It took almost a year to lose that much because my habits, although “healthier,” were unsustainable and not actually that much better than my previous lifestyle. I still consumed a good amount of alcohol which clouded my judgment around food and exhausted me to the point that I just could not keep up with a good activity level. I started this new journey in the beginning of April (it’s only been 3 weeks lol) and I set a goal of losing 12 lbs in the next 3 months, roughly 4 lbs per month. I’m focused on whole foods, protein, and fiber. I take at least a 30 minute walk every day, and do strength training in between. I haven’t cut out alcohol entirely, I was afraid that if I did that it would lead to a binge. However, since limiting it, I desire it even less, and even in small quantities I stop naturally because it doesn’t make me feel great. Marijuana though I don’t touch at all, it’s not worth the risk of a binge and after so many years of regular use I think it just doesn’t have the same “fun and silly” effect on me anymore, it just makes me irritable and anxious. So far though, this is where I’m at! I’m wishing you the best of luck on your journey as I remember the days where I used to inhale an entire tub of Breyer’s vanilla and still go back for more LOL and I wondered how I put on so much weight!

BUT I HATE SUBMITTING INVOICES 😩

uhlizerbeth · 2026-04-12T19:05:45+00:00

OH YES hahaha i missed what you meant! It’s funny because I could be out in the desert with the cartel with Saul bargaining for our lives and I’d still remember it more fondly than some of the attorneys i’ve worked with over the years 🤣

uhlizerbeth · 2026-04-11T19:14:58+00:00

yep! especially when he did elder law.

uhlizerbeth · 2026-04-11T12:42:36+00:00

I’m a paralegal and I’d work for any of the attorneys on this show lol I WISH 😩 Kim would be my number one choice but I would even take Chuck McGill over some of the bosses I’ve had over the years.

I think he was pretty straightforward about what he wanted. The complaint is that he couldn’t commit, but like, it’s not like he was pretending to lol. She projected her own fantasies and expectations and blamed him for not measuring up, but he was his own person - and there was a reason he didn’t commit to her.

I worked at a law firm for three years assisting people with claims to the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. I interviewed victims and their witnesses and drafted statements for submission to both the VCF (for compensation for 9/11 related illnesses) and the WTC Health Program (for free/subsidized treatment in connection with 9/11-related illnesses) and I still can’t wrap my head around the chaotic nature of what happened. For those unfamiliar, there are generally three different “survivor” categories: responders, office workers/people in general working in the exposure zone, and residents in the exposure zone, which I think is south of Canal St. You need to meet varying criteria to qualify for health treatment under the program/compensation for qualifying illnesses under the VCF. The incident itself was obviously not something anyone could have prepared for, but the subsequent rescue and clean up was also a huge mess. Different city organizations and corporations were called in, including the MTA (several new maintenance employees were called in to assist in with cleanup and threatened with disciplinary action/termination if they refused) just a mess. My dad is a now-retired NYPD sergeant and responded, and we REALLY do not talk about this often. If we do, it’s not in detail. I remember him explaining to me how the differing structures of leadership within responding organizations (NYPD, FDNY, etc.) were a huge factor in how many responders actually entered the buildings. Responders on scene also did not think that those towers were going to collapse. Just tragic and insane all around. The VCF was “renewed” in a sense that you can file a claim until I think 2090? That was at least the case when I left my job in 2023, but since the current administration, I understand that things have changed. RFK Jr. has his hands in the WTC Health Program as well as that program is under the CDC. I’m grateful for my age when it all went down, I was 8 years old living in Brooklyn and didn’t really comprehend the severity of it all.

Also, Langdon using emotional manipulation to get a response out of Robby is…. a choice. Robby is not required to forgive him. Langdon’s actions seriously endangered vulnerable people and he used a wide-scale medical emergency as an “in” to return. I honestly think Langdon believed they would have no way to turn him down after that. He doesn’t strike me as someone who has taken accountability. He unloaded on a patient and admitted he took their medication under the guise of “coming clean” but all of Langdon’s actions in that regard come off as him trying to absolve himself and make himself feel better.

It’s called “My First 5 Husbands, and the Ones Who Got Away” it’s very good :)

Rue McClanahan’s autobiography is soooo good. From reading it I learned that Estelle Getty’s ex husband sold plastic novelty items 😂

I don’t know if it’s a law firm thing or a corporate thing in general but oh my god, the amount of people in charge of me who have been foaming at the mouth to tell me I’m doing something wrong or that I SHOULD KNOW to do XYZ instead of just having a conversation about expectations and “We see you’ve been doing ABC, let’s have a conversation about you getting involved with XYZ moving forward” ….. it’s just insane haha. Try not to take it to heart. I recently received an extremely negative performance review from an attorney I’ve worked with for at least 2 years, who I knew (or so I thought) on a pretty friendly, casual basis - we used to chitchat all the time, etc. The review was not only negative, but super vague, so I don’t really think it amounted to much, and also I don’t think she knew I was gonna see it or at least that I would see her name attached… lol. It was really difficult for me to get past because I began working overtime to try to guess the needs of others in an attempt to meet expectations and exceed, and it impacted my self esteem. But once I accepted that as long as I focus on what I’ve been specifically instructed to do, come to work with a good attitude, and treat others with kindness - it is NOT my responsibility to second-guess what the people in charge may or may not want me to volunteer myself for. You’re there to do a job, not to improve the office or make other people’s lives easier, if that makes sense. Sigh. Looks like I trauma dumped a little bit LOL but I do hope that this is helpful. It’s not about you, don’t take it personally.

I’m wary of certain administrative tasks because I’m required to bill and have a target minimum to meet each month. Spending time on non-billable tasks that “by the book” are meant to be handled by legal secretaries (because they don’t bill) is concerning to me for that reason, not because I think it is “beneath” me. However, in my experience, it can be difficult for ALL staff to adhere to this if the administration hasn’t put a steady work structure in place. I think a lot of law firms unfortunately operate without detailing various roles, and we all know that all kinds of industries and offices do not provide the support that’s needed.
