I'm almost at my goal weight!! I have a history of struggling with food, weighing myself, and counting calories, but I've been doing okay and I feel so good now. I did gain weight over the last 10 years that I've been wanting to lose, but it's been a struggle and I felt so hopeless about losing it because my weight seemed to just yo-yo back all the time. I had a health scare a few months ago because I was diagnosed as prediabetic (diabetes also runs in my family), so I decided to forgo any concerns about my weight while I figured out how to eat in a way that wouldn't make me turn into a full blown diabetic. An unintended side effect was that my weight began to drop, and when I retested, my A1c was in the normal range! My weight did plateau for a while, so I decided to count calories again (which I've always been very hesitant to do again), and I can actually do it without feeling the doom spiral of obsession.

A few years ago I also began weightlifting for my back pain, and then I eventually started running too. I've never felt so happy and confident in my body. I think it's fun to make high protein recipes, and I love finding new tasty high volume recipes to try too. I haven't really felt any loss in strength despite the weight loss either.

It's taken me so, so long to be comfortable in my body, but I've finally made it and it feels so great. I don't look like someone who goes to the gym, but I deadlift almost 1.5x my bodyweight on a weekly basis and regularly run 5 miles for the hell of it, so I'm still happy. I wanted to lose this weight to prove to myself that I could do it, so even if I gain weight again, I can lose it again.

I’ve really had the biggest glo up at 25. I’m still below average in the face and always will be, but It’s actually crazy how much more complete I look now. I think the metamorphosis started when I shaved my head at 22, then with every subsequent year my eye for flattering hair styling improved until I landed at my current medium shaggy pixie. It’s insane what a massive difference a hair style can make. I also finally lost the excess baby fat in my face and so I look much less doughy faced now. And then I have developed slight smile lines at the corners of my eyes that I think are flattering. And this year I finally started putting full effort into my wardrobe. It’s my goal to not have any more “meh, I don’t love it, but it’s all I have right now” work outfits by the end of the year. I feel so much more mature and put together looking and it’s given me a lot more confidence.

Late, but all the oldies in my neighbourhood have been adopting retired greyhounds and swear by them as being gentle and easy to manage for a larger dog. There are lots of rescue programs set up just for greys, and they're usually very good about helping to match a dog to an owner. They're also known for being pretty chill and lazy around the house if he's looking for a buddy to just be with him during the day. The main issue with them is that the breed has a very high prey drive and can bolt after small animals (and are very powerful when doing so), which could be risky for your dad, so maybe not– though again, the elderly people I've talked to about them don't seem to have had this issue with their senior greys, and it does vary between individual dogs (eg some won't even make it as racers because they won't chase the lure, despite otherwise being in great shape). Just an option you could look into.

Leash training also isn't that difficult as long as you're consistent in both how strict you are and reward good behaviour. 'No-pull' harnesses can also make a huge difference (they make the dog turn around when they pull due to where the lead attaches), as I found out with my parents' dog who can be a bit of a brute at the start of a walk but is now much easier to manage and she quickly learned to stop pulling with minimal effort on my part.

Wish you all the luck in finding your dad his new friend!

The "close bond" we have is still the same, but changed in a different way.
My first cat has always been very anxious and easily spooked. He was afraid of my dad for years, hiding under the bed for hours if my dad sneezed too loudly. When I got the second cat, first cat was so distressed he was throwing up bile, even though the second cat was a barely mobile kitten at the time.
But after he adjusted to the kitten, my first cat calmed down to a degree I wasn't prepared for. He used to howl and wail on car rides, but with the second cat in the carrier with him, he is comfortable enough to sleep for the duration and is very peaceable when we arrive at our destination. He became much more friendly to the other people in my house, and let's my dad approach and pet him now. Loud noises still startle him a bit, and I think he will always hate garbage bags, but using kitchen appliances doesn't make him hide for the rest of the night.
He became much less dependent on me, which I suppose can be sad to some cat owners, but it makes me happy because it means he's not constantly sick with fear or anxiety. He doesn't need constant reassurance from me throughout the day (and if he didn't get it, he would go into hiding). He's much more confident around my dad's cat, too, and doesn't let her bully him anymore.
But he is definitely still my little baby who will hop into my bed when I'm not looking and bite my fingers if I'm not petting him and drool all over me kek. So overall, not bad changes imo.
The reason I got a second cat was also as a companion for the first cat. Funnily enough, they don't even hang out together much, but I guess the second cat's presence fills him with enough joy to get through the day kek

I'd love to get a second cat but my cat, i think, is jealous a lot. Anytime a cat comes into our garden she wants to attack it. Even the cat i've been feeding for years she hates. Male, female, kitten she hates them all. I found a 3 week old kitten - hatered. Friend visits with a older kitten - hatered. She is such a sweet old lady to people, never scratched anyone but she can't stand any animals.

I remember being a kid and reading that she was 13 in some trash newspaper, I was so shocked, I could not sleep. But as even ai says in your screenshot, there are hardly any ages in the bible, I don't even think she was ever described as young. Most christians believe she was something like 16 because her being not married yet at a much older age was sadly uncommon back than.
But if moids insist on her having been only 12/13 it's creepy and just reminds me of the insanely low ages in the quran.

Recently I got sucked into a rabbit hole of murican "born again" christians who see themselves as the only real christians and believe that catholics, orthodoxs and so on will land in hell. There are so many super young fratboy-looking missionaires just going around e.g. on pride parades, yap about jesus loving you and then pray for peoples foot pain to go away.
According to their logic all you need to do is repent, that's it, then you will be saved. If you don't, you will burn in hell, no matter if you told a lie as a child or are a murdering rapist. But that concept of being "born again" doesn't exist anywhere else on earth, meaning they think that out of billions only a handful of muricans will get to go to heaven. How crazy is that? At least normal christians like catholics reach over a billion worldwide (and believe that they need to behave correctly) but they really think they're extra special, so many of them also seem to be former criminals who think they're better than innocent women and kids because they said sorry to jesus. They of course also have beef with the black version of their exclusive club, the hebrew israelites.

And all of that started for me just because I clicked on one video of a cute crying guy kek

Probably a good idea, I'm already a metal fan so I have some shirts like that. The strange thing is that I live in Poland, most people here are catholic and already believe in Jesus being the savior and all that, so why are you bothering me and telling me about it? I don't know why JW are so autistic about trying to convert people from a Jesus/bible worshiping Christian religion into an even more culty/scammy version of that same Christian religion. The little competitions Christian denominations have with each other are so stupid kek.

The information I posted indicates that investors are divesting from all US assets. The USA is able to sustain high amounts of debt in large part because investors have confidence in the country's ability to pay them back, the dollar is strong in large part because it's the de facto currency for doing business globally, and the stock market is strong in part because consumers have high purchasing power. All of these things are currently under threat, and unless the country stops doing insane bullshit and tries to rebuild trust, we're potentially looking at long-term changes to Americans' quality of life.

I have had the same issues because of sexual traumas. Honestly there's no quick fix, you have to accept that he has done a lot of damage to you and it will take time to build that up. But it should be your top priority to build your self-worth back and love yourself. This is your root issue and things like not wanting to dress up, being shy, losing libido are only symptoms. Also, lacking self-worth puts you at risk of being abused once again.

The easiest thing I did to fix that issue seems kinda silly but it worked quickly : I just told myself things like "I love myself, I look good, I feel good, I'm confident, I feel grateful" while staring at myself in the mirror, atleast once a day. After a week or two my brain automatically spurs positive thoughts when seeing my reflection, instead of the usual "I look tired today, I have a huge pimple, I don't even wan't to go out". In the same vein, when I'm anxious before a social interaction, I'll repeat in my heads encouraging things like "I'm a confident, nice person, and others enjoy my company". It may sound stupid but you probably already do this with negative thoughts, and those negative thoughts have shaped your perception of yourself with enough repetition and time - the goal is to reverse that process.

Pair that with something more engaging but that you won't regret: find a sport you like, yoga, going to the gym, running, stretching or whatever. Something that will make you feel great in your body and proud of yourself. Really stick with something, even if it's just a few minutes a day. It's not an instant fix but just a month of daily activity will make you feel better about yourself, guaranteed.

Just take care of yourself in general, body and mind. Say nice things to yourself. Act like you're a mom taking care of an hurt child, so be gentle and patient with yourself. Change will come in time but you will not go back to who you were before, you'll be an even stronger and better version of yourself. This guy doesn't hold any power over you anymore, you have the power and will to grow out of this and reclaim your love back. Good luck nona, I believe in you.
