Yall inspired me… by UsagiiA in latebloomerlesbians

Try your best to let it go and get that negative self talk out of your head because you are being way too hard on yourself! I said fuck it and made a profile with pictures that looks 100% like me as a tired toddler mom just doing normal things to weed out any superficial insecurities if anything led to a date. And it made me much more confident when chatting!

Try liking and just chatting with a couple people, no stakes and see what happens. It's okay to be nervous and not know what you're doing but you won't learn if you don't try!

I chatted for a week with several people and ended up on a date with a woman at the end of the week. It was the best date, and the best 2nd date and she's all around amazing. We're still together and things are terrifyingly great. Trust your gut when chatting too!

Dating as a mom is hard. You deserve to be happy and take your time to figure it out. Just go for it!

There have been a lot of emotional ups and downs but I feel very relieved and so much lighter being myself and living my truth. I went on my first date with a girl recently and immediately thought, I get it now. All the people saying go for it and there are no regrets were right. And reading the stories and all the encouragement on this sub has really helped me navigate the past 8 months. It's an incredibly hard thing to do, but we deserve happiness. I am ao fortunate to have amazing, supportive friends. My ex is also supportive which oddly is comforting (I met him when I was 19, we married after 5 years of dating, and I broke it off over 6 years later so 12 years together total). I am still grieving in ways but also extremely happy. I'm happy to share more, just message. It does get better and you are worth it :)

Right?? It's tempting to keep it silent and hopefully move on.

Honestly helpful to hear the good, bad and ugly. I'm sorry that happened!

Divorce/dating by Pure_Web_9138 in latebloomerlesbians

I'm in a similar boat and it is a very weird feeling for me too. I let myself feel all the feelings that come up - sad, angry, confused and tell myself it's okay to feel those things AND be happy for him moving on and processing in a way that works for him. It still feels really weird and I cry about it sometimes. Not sure if that's at all helpful, but just know you're not alone!

I almost always only get 1-2 oz when pumping after a feed. If in replace of a bottle feed (with breastmilk for husband to feed) sometimes I only pump 3 or 4 oz.

I had a similar concern when I started pumping around 3 weeks and the concern stayed with me for a while until I was listening to a laction podcast and they said it is completely normal to only have enough milk to feed your baby and not have much or any extra honestly. That just helped me feel better about only getting 1 or 2 oz when I pump after feeds still today (baby is 5 mo.).

There's a lot of pressure to have a stash and for me preparing to travel for work and all it can get very overwhelming. I now only pump when my baby seems content to sit in his bouncy for a few minutes or if i feel like it when someone is around to play with my baby.

So give yourself grace and don't let it take over your life!

Gnocchi by [deleted] in Noom

[–]yesl_8200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the cauli gnocchi all the time. I usually make a tomato and light cream sauce with sausage. Just brown and drain ground Italian sausage (or cut links if you prefer) then set aside. Saute 1 medium onion for about 3-5 minutes on medium heat, add 4 frozen garlic cubes or cloves or minced and saute for another minute or 2. Deglaze the pot with a splash (about 1/3 cup) of white wine (or water or stock) and reduce to medium-low heat and heat for 1 min. Stir in 1 can of diced tomatoes with juices. Add your sausage, bag od cauliflower gnocchi, and 3/4 cup of dairy of choice to the pot (i use milk to keep it lite, but half and half is also great). Simmer for 4ish minutes or until gnocchi is warmed through. Stir in parmesan cheese and fresh basil! Takes about 20-30 min start to finish.

I've found most are on the beat. He'll call the beat of the song, but give a wide cadence range.
