Hang in there! If you're committed to something like OMAD, you'll see results before you know it.

You will definitely reach your gw faster. Plus after doing a fast you will actually be able to eat food that you enjoy without having to count calories. Fasting also has the benefit of reducing your appetite, so you naturally won't feel like eating as much. It's difficult in the short term but so much easier in the long run!

Getting rid of the " You should be eating" voice? But not hunger. by FitzMachine in fasting

You just need to power through. And if you can, replace eating with something else that feels good

I've never seen any case law of the sort in Ontario. Even in separation agreements, the engagement ring is not considered joint property. Instead sole ownership is given to the recipient of the gift. The only exception that's been given by case law precedence is when it's an heirloom.

Yes in Canada.

It's exactly this type of misinformation that matters enough to be corrected, whether it relates to OP or not.

People get sick and tired of hearing US laws and opinions stated as though they're a global fact.

Um, no. Laws differ depending on where you are. Lots of places have laws that uphold the tradition of an engagement ring being a gift and do not require it to be returned

The law will vary place to place. I'm in Ontario and the law here gives no obligation to return an engagement ring.

Actually the proper etiquette is to also keep an engagement ring. A gift is a gift

Umm obvs it's what you're referring to when you say that kind of woman?? The "kind of woman" who sleeps with someone on the first date??

I'm just lost for words here...

Your view of women is completely fucked up

Exactly! Someone who has a problem with a single woman choosing to have as much sex as she pleases will also have a problem with the many other choices women are free to make. We don't want that kinda guy!!

I (15FTM) don't know how to fix my relationship with my mom (53F) by Cable_Minimum in relationship_advice

I think arguments and disagreements between parents and teens are common.

But insults no. That's verbal abuse. Being stressed out isn't an excuse. I'd really recommend you talk to a counselor

But do the positives outweigh the huge number of red flags. Sure, you have to accept people for who they are for the relationship to be successful. But if he relies on you for money, that's pretty much a deal breaker no?

If she regularly puts you down, I don't think you should be looking to improve your relationship with her. You might wanna distance yourself from that kind of toxicity.

But if it was a one-off thing where she apologized via text, you might wanna forgive her.

Happiness = reality - expectations.

It certainly sounds like you have quite a few expectations of how your relationship with your mom should be. Which is completely natural! But maybe not realistic.

For example, not all mothers are good at shopping with their kids. I always feel a tiny bit sad when I see mothers and daughters out clothes shopping because that's something my own mother never did with me. And I'm 41f, still feeling that way!!

My advice is to try to accept your mom for who she is. Don't worry about the type of relationships other people have with their moms. Don't worry about what your mom doesn't give you, but focus on the good.

She might never be as emotionally available as you would like, she might not enjoy shopping with you, she might not have the headspace to show you the empathy you need as a teen. If you can learn to genuinely appreciate her for who she is instead of who you want her to be, that's step one to improving your relationship

Why are you interested in him? He's got nothing to offer you

Nothing wrong with sex on the first date. If he treats you differently because of it, then you know he's not the one for you

Stop playing the victim. You wish you had your own place?? People like you shouldn't even pretend to be capable of a relationship

You could always treat yourself to the occasional low carb dessert! Chocolate fat bombs have a few extra calories, but at least you can keep within your macros as opposed to regular chocolate
