@Wanderfound warned us a while ago that SSRIās are dangerous, but I didnāt listen. I was on one all through last winter. In the spring I discovered Iād gained a lot of weight, which is a known side effect. FUCK. So all through the summer I was
and as of a few days ago I thought I was still stuck between 26 and 27, but today itās between 25.08 and 25.37, according to my bathroom scale. Not through the goal posts yet but back within what I used to think of as my normal range. I was afraid Iād permanently fucked up my metabolism
Antihistamines in general make people gain weight, I guess, and that includes SSRIās and even vitamin C. It has occurred to me that some things we do to make ourselves āhealthierā can also make us heavier, like cows bingeing on antibiotics.
Iām a two-time SSRI survivor (Prozac and Zoloft); I doubt Iāll be doing that again. Iām taking the exercise cure instead, which works decently well as long as it includes high-intensity periods a couple times a week (defined as working too hard to say much at all). I was at the doctorās last month and my depressive past came up, and he said (knowing me) ābut you donāt want me to prescribe anything?ā Thank you, no.
Great news on your weight loss. I was trying for that this summer but no change.
Iāve always wondered. Is avec like flan? Some kind of fancy French flexible-flavor flan that can be savory or seafood, NASCAR or kosher? Itās so much with things.
Hardly actually Iām the least ripped ever at this actual number. NOW I KNOW: deliberately messing with my fluid levels is a strategy that will make me lose weight and still look fat
Itās OK, whatever, summerās over, Iāll take the technical win
By way of an update to my previous post about smoking too much, I finally found a vaporiser shop and they were as nice as they could possibly have been. I walked in expecting a hard sell and that I would leave with something unsuitable, which I would have to adjust over time: āI have [X vaporiser] but itās too mild/too strong/not refillable/etc etc etc.ā
One member of staff spoke English and she translated for the other three, who all had their areas of expertise. Between them, we found an ideal dose, size, ohm resistance (this makes a huge difference in the drag you take on it) and an almost-perfect (but still slightly too sweet) flavour.
I am very, very pleased with my new toy and even more pleased by the fact that I have only smoked two cigarettes today instead of twenty:
Good for you! I havenāt had a cigarette since November 2014, because of nicotine vape.
In my experience, whichever flavor you select, if you stick with it, will lose its flavor. Like how you stop smelling something youāve been smelling all day. I donāt recall how long it took me, though.
Yeh, Iām sure that it will lose some of its scent over time but the reviews I have read of this e-liquid all say itās nice but a little on the sweet side.
They gave me a taste test of at five or six different flavours and this was the least sweet one they had in the shop. I wonder if it might be a cultural thing (a lot of things I have tasted in Italy have been sweeter than I would prefer) and if there are alternatives out there that just taste of smoke or nothing at all. Any suggestions?
I had the best reaction to tobacco flavors, but all the candy ones were horrible. Iām in the US and we seem to favor sweet, too, blergh. I almost wish there was a flavorless one.
The other thing is that around here, a lot of the stores mix their own. Which, I donāt know, itās kind of a weird concept.
I like evo vaporās black diamond, but I donāt know whatās available where you are.
All of the liquids they had in stock were from the US and I imagine it wouldnāt be too much hassle to order more for myself over the internet.
I went with 3 Baccos - Havana. Itās nice but I canāt help but shake the feeling that Iām smoking honey-dipped blunt skins instead of cigarettes. Not offensive at all, just sweeter than I would like. Thanks for the tip though, Iāll give it a try once Iām done with this bottleā¦
Dad made it through the surgery, is out of post-op, and is resting in his room now. The tumor had actually grown through the bladder wall, but the doctor thinks he finally got it all out. When he was awake, Dad said it felt like they took a melon out of his stomachā¦ and the lack of pressure felt good. (He got an epidural.)
Thereās still recovery to get through, and he needs a lot more weight on his bonesā¦ but I hope I can say āso far so goodā without jinxing anything.
I guess. Iām officially, right this minute, not overweight.
actually Iām the least ripped ever at this actual number. NOW I KNOW: deliberately messing with my fluid levels is a strategy that will make me lose weight and still look fat
