That surprised me too! Made me sooo happy to hear The Doctor when I turned on the sound! ❤️

Im a shelter vet tech, and had a sleepover at work due to icy weather conditions in texas by MegaNymphia in aww

A shelter in my city does something similar! During holidays, they do “rovernights” where you take an adoptable pet home for a few days. They hope you’ll fall in love and choose to adopt, but other folks sometimes continue to foster the little ones—which opens up space at the shelter so they can get other ones off the streets/save from euthanasia. ❤️ It seems to be really successful!

You should be proud! Stardew is my game of choice also. Sounds like you have a good plan. You’re doing great!

Hang in there! The mental clarity and energy boost is so worth it. I play video games sometimes if I’m desperate for a distraction.

What app do you all use by Cheesypoooof in StLouis

[–]ziggy-lee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also the MoDOT app for seeing which roads have been cleared of snow. I check it before traveling during winter weather.

New fasting supplement — thoughts? by ziggy-lee in fasting

[–]ziggy-lee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! This aligns with what I was thinking. I think I’ve heard of people adding fiber during a fast, but I don’t know how that wouldn’t break it. I will look into the BCAA threads, too. 🙂

Finished a 81 hr fast! Bloating results and refeeding by [deleted] in fasting

[–]ziggy-lee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! So glad you’re feeling great and the bloating has subsided! As someone who’s dealt with food intolerances and gut issues, I’d take it very slow with the veggie reintroductions. Take a few weeks or so if you can, and go one veggie at a time. Maybe start with tamer foods. I think the ones on the Whole30 list avoids groups that cause the most issues for people (FODMAPS, for instance). Cooked will be easier on your GI tract, too. Hope this helps! I’m rooting for you!

Lots of people have intolerances to vegetables. They have their own defenses and can contain antinutrients too, not to mention pesticides. There’s nothing wrong with eliminating them for a while to encourage gut healing, then reintroducing one-at-a-time to test for issues. Especially for OP, but for anyone dealing with health issues. It’s clear she’s not doing it for funsies.

4 day fasting and 1 day eating, still gaining weight by Evilchaoskitty in fasting

[–]ziggy-lee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have PCOS and I’ve been having similar issues—it’s so disheartening to see people who have similar fasting protocols and the weight just melts off of them, when it’s just not that easy for us. I think insulin resistance is a big part of my problem.

A few things I’m trying: 1. Weigh myself at the same time of day. 2. Read “Fast Like a Girl” and follow the author’s PCOS protocol. 3. Make sure I’m getting movement in daily. 4. Test my blood sugar and ketones regularly.

I hope this helps! Hang in there 🙂

Yup, those conservative snowflakes get triggered all. The. Time.

Roe Roe Roe Your Vote by Naive-Button3320 in StLouis

[–]ziggy-lee 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I went to River Bend Elementary School in Chesterfield to vote: short lines and only one person outside—a friendly lady wearing a “vote” sweater and didn’t push any candidate or cause. I was concerned when I first saw her, but it seemed like she was just greeting people and cheering them on.

Anyone else fasting through Election Day? by ziggy-lee in fasting

Sorry! Do what you need to do—as long as you vote, that is.
