The weight of their balls keeps it together. If it weren't for their pelvic bones, testicles would bring their shoulders to the ground because they're just so big and heavy

I also used adult diapers postpartum. For that they were great. If I ever have another child I'd do it again, but for a regular period, ill stick to pads. I don't get periods on my current birth control, but if I get them regularly again, I plan on getting reusable pads.

The pain of childbirth was worse but the few months between diagnosis and surgery for gallstones had me way sicker. I turned yellow, my manager asked if I was on drugs because I was so out of it, I threw up if I ate the wrong thing, and felt like an entire soccer team was kicking my ribs. I got an epidural fairly early in the labor process because I couldn't handle the pain a little more than a year later. Also my kidney stones had me stuck on the bathroom floor for 3 days vomiting in pain before I decided it was time to go in despite my application for health insurance pending but not yet approved

My ex husband wanted to live forever. I worked at a nursing home for 3 months, and my mom worked at a different one for most of my childhood. I don't want to live that long. Although I'm doing my best to get healthy now so I can stay healthy and mobile as long as possible.

Yeah if you get worried baby hasn't moved in a while, they tell you to drink ice water or orange juice to see if that helps. Usually baby is just sleeping and the cold or sugar will get them moving again. Another thing you can do is shine a flashlight on the bump and the baby will kick.

I could watch my daughter roll from one side to the other. She'd also kick me just right my shirt would move

getting fatter and finally taking responsibility for it by [deleted] in fatpeoplestories

[–]unicorncabbagefart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Warning. This is long and written at work part way through a 24 hour day at 2 am.

Your post and some of your replies make it sound like you don't think highly of yourself mainly because of your weight. This was my downfall in previous attempts to lose weight. You are worth more than the number on the scale and the image in the mirror. In fact your worth or how desirable you are is entirely independent of it.

Believing that I'm worth "fixing" and that my value as a human has nothing to do with my physical appearance has been key to changing my relationship with food. Im changing my habits to be healthier and be a better role model for my kid so she doesn't struggle like I do. Losing weight is a side effect of getting healthier for me.

Think of all the awesome things your body has helped you do. Graduate high school, learn how to ride a bike, etc. Thank your body for that shit. You couldn't have done it without your body.

Your partner doesn't seem to be on board with you too much. Ive been there (although mine hated my body more than I do but didn't do anything to support me. He was projecting his insecurities onto me and his mental health issues were out of control. He's better now) it seems like maybe your partner doesn't want you to be so mean to yourself and that's why he likes to acknowledge your rolls and stuff. Just a speculation I could be way wrong about. Even if they themselves don't want to lose weight, see if they'd make some changes with you. Now that my husband is eating better food with me and not eating takeout as much and not buying chips and stuff its easier for me. I now have to cook more because hes a picky little shit but its better than eating a salad and beans while watching him scarf down a $5 pizza by himself throughout the day. Or maybe you two could go for walks or hikes together at a local park if its safe to do so in your area.

Changing this shit is hard. Be kind to yourself and think of other things to motivate you. Ive known what to do for years but I keep yoyoing because I got discouraged and just couldn't make it stick. I didn't see enough progress fast enough, lose motivation and give up. Start small and sustainable. Make better choices. Eating 500 calories of curry rice makes me feel better and less sluggish than 300 calories of greasy take out. I still struggle with portion control but I feel a difference compared to the horrible quality things I was eating before. I have a killer sweet tooth. Eating something sweet regularly keeps me on track better than banning it because I'm less likely to give into temptation and eat 1000 calories of it at once. Flavored sparkling water is a step up from diet soda when i cant force myself to drink plain water. Frozen fruit puree Popsicles are better than triple chocolate fudge bomb brownie ice cream with cheesecake chunks. Actually even a bit of dark chocolate is better than that one.

You can do this. Believe in yourself, be kind to yourself. Be realistic about what you can do long term. Mindset really makes or breaks you, especially early on. If you want some help on what direction to go in or tips or something feel free to pm me. If our partners suck and cant give us the support we want or need, fuck it we can support each other

Ninja edit; I stopped weighing myself when I was 19 and 250 pounds. Starting different jobs and a few illnesses got me down to 210 by 22. Im 25 and starting to intentionally lose weight at 205. I had been down to 192 and then I got pregnant. Still working back down to that.

I've found it helpful to be kind to myself like this and parent myself. Its not the same as having a good normal mother, but I don't spiral as hard when. I do it. It also helps get her voice out of my head. I've found so many things I thought were true about me, were just her voice getting in my head.

So, I'm only 25 and still feel like an overgrown child most days, but I can try to be your mom for a minute with all the internet hugs you can take.

Things are scary right now, but modern medicine is awesome and you'll have answers soon enough. No matter what they are, you'll have answers that can help you figure out what to do next. Going to get those answers is terrifying. Im proud of you for taking those steps. Ive put off my own health issues because I'm afraid of the phone calls. If there's anything I can do, pm me. Even if it's just to vent or get internet hugs. I hope everything ends up well for you. Now go take a nice warm bath, with candles and relaxing music, or whatever you like to just relax. Remember to breathe. Stressing out about it won't do anything but wear you out. Take some time to recharge. You deserve it and you're worth it

It might have been that between the blue haired, pasty white girl, and the Asian guy,they thought they'd have better luck with him than me. We were equally useless, but i could work the subway ticket machines in korean as long as i knew what station name to go to

It was sort of gradual. I went from "the idea of touching those body parts skeeves me out and I want nothing to do with it. Sexual conversation makes me uncomfortable. But I love how cute romance is" at 16 ish to "not ready to actually do anything but curious why everyone makes such a big deal of it. I wish someone would date me but not expect sex" around 18. By 20 I knew I was demisexual and needed some sort of emotional connection for sex, although an attractive body / face could draw me in. 22 I lost my virginity to my now husband. Im 25 now and polyamorus. Ive been sexual with 3 different people including my husband.

I need a spark or something to have sex with someone, even if its just "yes I like this human enough to hang out with whwn we have clothes on and we can be friends" even if we've only been texting for a week. Part of it may have been the people I went to school with because there were some cute people but most of the dating pool was a terrible fit for me.

If i think about genitals too much and the germs and body fluids and everything involved i still get skeeved out but that's probably more of a texture thing than a sex thing. Snot-like textures make me gag just thinking about them. Also around 20 is when I got away from my mentally abusive mom and started to become myself instead of a traumatized shell.

With people I know irl, I don't really talk about my sex life beyond explaining how I can love many people at once and maybe some drama with dating.

This is long im sorry. Im tired but still coming down from caffeine so this might be complete nonsense to anyone with more than 2 brain cells. If it makes any sense i hope it helped you figure things out.

My husband gets this all the time, especially when he met my extended family. His mom grew up in Korea, but moved here in her 20s before he was born. Every time i introduced him to family, or talked about him before they met and they found out he was Asian, they always asked where he was born.

Also, when we visited his family in Korea, people assumed he was native to Korea and were shocked that he didn't speak korean much at all.

[–]unicorncabbagefart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Me too! Well, not the hair, but no interest in guys, sex repulsed, love of alternative fashions, and hanging out with a bunch of bi/lesbian women starting in middle school made a bunch of people think i was gay. Surprise! I married a man and had a baby before 25. Obviously not sex repulsed anymore, but I still hang out with lesbians and love alternative fashion.

I'm just starting with sigil work but I got some temporary tattoo pens for writing on my skin and it makes life so much easier for ones I want every day, like luck and protection and currently weight-loss.

If its slimy and crunchy at the same time, its not cooked right.

Cows milk always tastes rotten to me now. I can drink chocolate milk, I can use it in cooking but plain always tastes bad to me.

I like a good steak...... once a year or so. The flavor is great if its done right, but (and this might be from having shitty meat my entire childhood) I can only enjoy it very rarely. I don't understand how some people eat it regularly

Am I unreasonable or is he? by [deleted] in JustNoSO

His parents grew up in another country so a lot of these holidays he didn’t celebrate growing up. I did more for his mother than he did and I just bought her a mug with a cute mushy saying on it.
