This is an unofficial community for people who use or are interested in Wegovy, or other GLP-1 RA medications, for weightloss. Wegovy is a once-weekly injection of semaglutide, which is a medication that mimics glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1) in the body. GLP-1 is a key regulator of weight and blood sugar. It helps to suppress appetite through the brain, and it slows stomach emptying to increase the sensation of fullness.

2024.05.22 05:12 healthy-Tip02 Fix your vagus nerve to heal chronic illness and improve glucose metabolism with dry fasting

Fix your vagus nerve to heal chronic illness and improve glucose metabolism with dry fasting
The vagus nerve is so important to glucose metabolism. I talk about this a lot. You can suppress a lot of symptoms and feel so much better by going on a low-carb diet, but this is simply masking the problem in the short term. True health is obtained when you are able to eat carbs again. This improved carbohydrate sensitivity goes hand in hand with vagus nerve health. To really thrive and become superhuman we have to fix the vagus nerve. The study we’re going to look at is called Impact of blood glucose control on sympathetic and vagus nerve function status in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
“Present results indicate that sympathetic and vagal functional status are impaired independent of HbA1c level, while poor glycemic control is related to more significant neurocardiac dysfunction in DM patients.” ~Impact of blood glucose control on sympathetic and vagus nerve functional status in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus - PMC~
This incredible study found an interesting pattern that is important to understanding how important the parasympathetic nervous system is to insulin resistance.
They had 3 groups of diabetic patients.
All subjects underwent blood biochemistry tests, treadmill exercise testing, and 24-hour Holter monitoring. HRR and HRV parameters were significantly lower in groups A and B than in group C. Very low frequency (VLF) values were significantly lower in group B than in group A.
All of this makes perfect sense.
No diabetes gives the best results for HRR and HRV.
Then diabetes but good glycemic control gives better results than no control of glycemic control.
Are we looking for optimal health? Well, then we’ve got to eliminate diabetes. How do we know we’ve achieved it? ~When we can eat carbs and feel perfectly healthy with good glucose clearance levels.~ But if we can't get there, managing blood glucose levels is critical, while still getting enough carbs to stop the body from constantly needing to create it through cortisol-gluconeogenesis pathways.
Low-carb diets are notoriously known to lower HRV. Even if your HbA1C levels are in the normal range. So why isn't your HRV increasing? Know what increases it? Removal of chronic cortisol. The easiest way to achieve this is by eating carbohydrates to stop constant gluconeogenesis from protein and fat. But be aware that jumping straight from low-carb into high-carb has its own set of risks and should be done very gradually (use a CGM if you can). An art form in itself. Dry fasting helps speed these transitions drastically, and it's why the scorch protocol uses dry fasting in between periods of dietary ketosis and high-carb regeneration.
“studies have shown that vagal activity, as indexed by heart-rate variability (HRV), is inversely related to diabetes and that low HRV is a predictor of T2DM.” ~The Vagal Nerve, Inflammation, and Diabetes—A Holy Triangle - PMC~
Why does this matter? Higher HRV predicts how well your body can handle stress. Dry Fasting spikes your HRV levels drastically. Not eating before bed helps a lot, not drinking alcohol, lowering your stress, etc. But the quickest, most powerful HRV spike comes from dry fasting and you get instant results. Don’t believe me? Try it next time you fast. Monitor your nighttime HRV levels with a fitness tracker wearable.
This indicates that it plays a big role in stimulating the vagus nerve and promoting its healing. Now, it’s not the end-all-be-all of vagus nerve healing. It sparks the fire, but you need to nurture and improve upon it by mastering the refeeding period.
With fasting, we attempt to fix our issues through a few mechanisms. Lowering sugar levels, giving the cells and pancreas a break, recycling cellular components that are faulty, stimulating stem cell regeneration, improving HRV while stimulating the vagus nerve.

Stress-induced hyperglycemia: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11219223/

Controlling glucose through diets like keto and carnivore is why so many people feel better on them than on their previous diet. If you have insulin-resistance-type of downstream damage, of course fixing it through glucose management is a critical first step. But what happens after? If you keep at a zero-carb diet, you cause chronic stress, but also insulin SUPPRESSION. If you don’t use it, you lose it! My own experiments and observations track perfectly well with this. They’re based on tracking my HRV and correlate fiercely with COVID-induced diabetes. Do all illnesses correlate to insulin resistance? We know that catching a cold or illness almost always increases blood sugar levels, so an prolonged, extreme sickness can very easily push you into diabetic levels of insulin resistance.

How does fasting help with diabetes?

It’s why I talk about Berberine and Ivermectin, Psilocybin, and timed breathwork and exercise.

Am I going craz(ier than usual)?
Hi all! Still early in this journey. I’m in the two week wait for cycle 4. I only charted cycle 1 then stopped for my mental health. I ovulated on CD 18 on cycle 1 and pretty consistently have a 30-31 day cycle thus far. Of note, my temps were late over the weekend. I didn’t hear my alarm on Saturday and took my temp an hour late. On Sunday, I woke up at 4:30 to go to the bathroom and intentionally tested later than my 6:45 time so I had at least 3 hours of sleep.
I took a nap today and woke up nauseous. While I get nauseous when I skip meals, I had eaten today and wasn’t super hungry. I also feel like I have some cramping and that feeling like I’m bleeding when I’m not (does anyone else experience that? It feels like blood coming out but there’s nothing there a day or so before my period). I don’t know if I’m just convincing myself that I’m experiencing things or if I could really be experiencing it.
Thoughts? Reassurances? Tell me I’m just making myself crazy? I know it’s still early in this cycle and in my TTC journey, but my anxiety and depression are intensified during this time. I’m taking my meds and seeing a therapist, but it’s a work in progress.

2024.05.22 05:07 LucasAlvz Night Cry for V5

Ceremony Level 4 - Night Cry
The breath of entropic energy transforms into a cry of pure chaos. The necromancer can emit a supernatural cry (heard both in the world of the living and in the Shadowlands). The howl pours a frigid oblivion onto a target or group of targets—either eliminating inherent entropy or collecting this destruction and releasing it.
Prerequisite: Aura of Decay
Ingredients: a ceremonial silver blade, flowers offered to a gravestone, heart of a guilty person, and plasm of a wraith’s fetter.
System: With a silver blade, the ceremonialist makes a cut deep enough to spill blood along their own tongue. Then, they cut open the heart with the same blade tainted with the vitae of the ceremonialist vampire. The petals of the flowers are placed in the heart's cavities, and finally, the vampire must bite a wraith’s fetter in the presence of the wraith, causing at least one point of aggravated damage. The vampire then devours the heart.
The ceremonialist can activate this ceremony at any desired moment until sunrise of the same night. During the Night Cry, the vampire is unable to do anything else.
The vampire chooses a number of targets within an area of ten meters and invokes the Night Cry. The ceremonialist then decides whether to help or harm the targets and rolls the Ceremony Test. If they choose to help, the targets can only be undead, and each success grants each affected target three bonus dice for any dice pool for one turn per success starting from when the effects of this ceremony are activated (for this effect to work on vampires, they must be genuinely moved by the song). This aid is manifested by a hauntingly beautiful song that moves and inspires the dead. If they choose to harm, each success causes one aggravated wound to each target, whether living or dead, with damage calculated by the margin of victory. In a critical victory, the targets cannot act and lose their current action. This harmful effect is manifested by a piercing scream that makes the shroud vibrate and, in some cases, tear. Covering the ears does little to mitigate the effects of the fatigue that resonates in the target's soul.
Regardless of the result, the Night Cry is heard on both sides of the Veil, attracting the attention of anyone nearby. In the event of a critical failure, the necromancy may summon unruly ghosts or Spectres; remember that the necromancer is not spared from the fury of the dead.
What's your two cents?

Why Do You Always Have Watery Eyes? The Causes and Solutions
https://preview.redd.it/cs6irvty8w1d1.jpg?width=719&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=726c714856fbcd6c10d308e715c613d4fb314e1a

The Link Between Allergies and Watery Eyes

Allergies are a common cause of watery eyes, affecting millions of people worldwide. When allergens such as pollen, dust, or pet dander enter the eyes, they can trigger an immune response that results in inflammation and excessive tear production. This response is the body's way of trying to flush out the irritating substances. This article explores the connection between allergies and watery eyes, delving into the underlying mechanisms, symptoms, types of allergens, diagnostic procedures, and effective management strategies for this condition. Understanding these aspects is crucial for those suffering from allergy-induced watery eyes to find relief and improve their quality of life.

Mechanism of Allergic Reactions Leading to Watery Eyes

Watery eyes, or epiphora, occur when the eyes produce more tears than usual. In the case of allergies, this is often a response to an immune system reaction. The body perceives certain harmless substances as threats and releases histamine, a chemical that causes inflammation and an increase in tear production as part of the body's defense mechanism. These allergen-induced tears are intended to flush out irritants from the eye but can become excessive and lead to discomfort. This overproduction of tears can cause significant discomfort and interfere with daily activities, making it difficult to see clearly or focus on tasks. The continuous flow of tears may also cause skin irritation around the eyes.

Symptoms Accompanying Watery Eyes in Allergic Reactions

Alongside watery eyes, individuals with allergies might experience several other symptoms, including:
  • Itching in the eyes
  • Redness and swelling of the eyelids
  • Sneezing and nasal congestion
  • A runny nose
  • Sensitivity to light
These symptoms can significantly affect the quality of life, contributing to discomfort and visual disturbances.

Common Allergens That Trigger Watery Eyes

Several environmental and household substances can trigger allergic reactions that lead to watery eyes. Some of the most common allergens include:
  • Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds
  • Dust mites
  • Pet dander from cats and dogs
  • Mold spores
  • Perfumes and other fragrances
  • Smoke and environmental pollutants
Understanding which allergens trigger your symptoms can be pivotal in managing and preventing allergic reactions.

Diagnosing Allergy-Related Watery Eyes

To determine whether allergies are the cause of watery eyes, healthcare providers typically perform tests that may include:
  • Skin prick tests to evaluate reactions to various allergens
  • Blood tests to detect the presence of antibodies against specific allergens
  • Examination of the eyes to check for any signs of allergic reactions or other underlying issues
These diagnostic tools help pinpoint the exact causes of allergic reactions and guide the management plan.

Treatment and Management of Allergy-Induced Watery Eyes

Managing watery eyes caused by allergies involves a combination of avoidance strategies, medicinal treatments, and lifestyle modifications. Here are some effective approaches:
  • Avoidance of Known Allergens: Reducing exposure to triggers by changing environments or habits can significantly alleviate symptoms.
  • Medications: Antihistamines, decongestants, and mast cell stabilizers can help reduce symptoms by counteracting the body's reaction to allergens.
  • Eye Drops: Lubricating eye drops or anti-allergy eye drops can soothe irritation and reduce symptoms.
  • Allergy Shots (Immunotherapy): For chronic or severe cases, immunotherapy might be recommended to decrease sensitivity to allergens.

Preventive Measures for Allergy-Induced Watery Eyes

Preventing watery eyes caused by allergies involves minimizing exposure to allergens through several practical measures. To begin with, using air purifiers can significantly reduce airborne allergens. Additionally, keeping windows closed during high pollen seasons helps to prevent pollen from entering your living space. Regularly washing bedding, curtains, and other fabrics that can trap allergens is also crucial. Controlling humidity levels within your home is essential to prevent mold growth, which can be a major allergen. Furthermore, frequently vacuuming carpets and upholstery can reduce the presence of dust mites. These combined efforts can effectively help in reducing allergy symptoms and keeping watery eyes at bay.

Conclusion

Allergies are a significant cause of watery eyes and can be triggered by various environmental and household allergens. Recognizing the symptoms and understanding the triggers are key steps toward effective management. With the right diagnosis and a combination of treatments, most people can manage their symptoms and lead a comfortable life, free from the constant irritation caused by allergic reactions.
Understanding and addressing the underlying factors of allergy-induced watery eyes not only improves eye health but also enhances overall well-being and daily functionality. If you experience persistent watery eyes along with other allergy symptoms, consult an allergist or an ophthalmologist to explore your options for relief and management. Remember, if symptoms persist, please don’t hesitate and Contact us to see an eye care professional is advised to rule out more serious conditions and to receive appropriate treatment.

2024.05.22 05:04 BungChewGoon Could the Formless Mother / the Mother of Truth be Mesmer’s mother?

I’ve seen a few comments here and there theorizing about how the Formless Mother could be Mesmer’s mother, and that he is the bastard child of Radagon and the Formless Mother (who we may see at the beginning of the new trailer?). TLDR of this theory seems to be that Marika seduced the Formless Mother as Radagon before betraying her, leaving Mesmer to be raised by Marika to some capacity. While I’m not sure that this theory fully holds weight, there is one aspect that makes a lot of sense to me, and is at the very least interesting to think about.
In the reveal trailer for Shadow of the Erdtree, Mesmer says:
“Mother, wouldst though truly lordship sanction in one so bereft of light?”
Here’s the part that I think is interesting: If the Formless Mother is Mesmer’s mother, then could he be referring to Mohg here?
If his mother is indeed the Formless mother, this scene could imply that he is questioning his mother, the Formless Mother, sanctioning Moghs lordship as the Lord of Blood. Given that in the most recent trailer, we see Mesmer waging war against what seems to be an Omen, or at least Omen related, civilization, for what may be the furthering of Marika’s golden order, I think it would be safe to say that he would have a great deal of disdain for the Omen, and would certainly view them as “bereft of light.” Moreover, Mesmer’s flame seems possibly somewhat related to blood magic at least on a visual level, so it seems like there could be something there.
Now there are holes in this theory im sure, but I’m curious to hear other people’s opinions, and at least spark some discussion into the topic as I think that this is a fun/interesting idea to speculate about :)

2024.05.22 05:02 teethwhiteningreport Effective Ways to Clean Your Teeth Without Toothpaste

Hey there,
I see you're curious about cleaning your teeth without toothpaste. Don't worry; there are several effective methods you can try. Here's a rundown:

1. Brushing Teeth Without Toothpaste

Brushing teeth without toothpaste isn't necessarily bad, but it's not as effective as brushing with toothpaste. Toothpaste contains ingredients like fluoride, which helps strengthen tooth enamel and fight cavities. Brushing without toothpaste may still remove some plaque and food particles, but it may not provide the same level of protection against tooth decay and gum disease. It's always best to use toothpaste when brushing your teeth, but if you find yourself without toothpaste, brushing with water is better than not brushing at all.

2. Brushing Teeth Without Fluoride

If you're concerned about fluoride, you can still clean your teeth effectively without it. Look for fluoride-free toothpaste alternatives or simply brush with water. Remember that fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel, so consider other sources of fluoride in your oral care routine, such as fluoridated water or fluoride treatments from your dentist.

3. Cleaning Teeth Without Toothbrush and Toothpaste

4. Natural Ways to Clean Teeth Without Toothpaste

5. What to Use to Brush Teeth Without Toothpaste

  1. Clean Cloth or Gauze
  2. Finger Wrap
  3. Soft Toothpick or Wooden Stick
  4. Chewing Sugar-Free Gum
  5. Crunchy Fruit or Vegetable
Remember, while these methods can help maintain oral hygiene, they are not substitutes for regular brushing and flossing with toothpaste. Aim to brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Do you have any other questions about oral hygiene? Feel free to ask! 😊🦷

2024.05.22 05:01 tragic_girl13 1991 in review

So I did something similar with the year 1994, looking at music culture and some events during then, so why not do an equally/more important year in music. 1991, what a time to be alive.... I say this even though I was delivered 16 years too late.... oh well lol. One of the most impactful years in music history with plethora of major releases under its belt... so why not go over a bucket list of most (I can't promise to cover all as there's like so much) of them:
Nevermind by Nirvana
Ten by Pearl Jam
Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden
Temple of the Dog
Loveless by MBV
Just For A Day by Slowdive
Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Dangerous by MJ
Death Certificate by Ice Cube
Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Use Your Illusion I/II by GNR
Out Of Time by REM
Blood Sugar Sex Magik by RHCP
Low End Theory by ATCQ
Achtung Baby by U2
Black by Metallica
Cypress Hill
Apocalypse 91 by Public Enemy
Spiderland by Slint
Cooleyhighharmony by Boyz II Men
De La Soul Is Dead by De La Soul
Laughing Stock by Talk Talk
Diamonds & Pearls by Prince
Sailing the Seas of Cheese by Primus
No More Tears by Ozzy
Innuendo by Queen
Gish by SP
2pacalypse Now by 2pac
Trompe Le Monde by PIxies
Fear by TTWS
Goat by Jesus Lizard
Green Mind by Dino Jr
Arise by Sepultura
Pretty on the Inside by Hole
Electronic
Organized Konfusion
Seamonsters by The Wedding Present
Efil4zaggin by NWA
The Real Ramona by Throwing Muses
The Soul Cages by Sting
No Pocky For Kitty by Superchunk
Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge by Mudhoney
and finally Whirlpool by Chapterhouse
1991 was where alternative boomed into the mainstream kicking out hair metal and corporate rock in favor of more eccentric and emotional-bound stuff, with Grunge being the main spokes-genre in mind and Nirvana's Nevermind being regarded as the one who broke the barrier between alternative and the mainstream. 1991 was also the year alternative rap got pretty big with stuff like The Low End Theory by Tribe Called Quest on the rise.
Thats all that I rlly know much on 1991, it's a wonderful and culturally impactful year in terms of releases with stellar hits and little to no misses.
Have a nice day <3

2024.05.22 04:51 BMBR1988 How easy is it to build muscle (if at all) while intermittent fasting?

I’ve recently been motivated to start going to the gym for the first time in my life, but I do intermittent fasting, have been for quite a long time and usually do a minimum of 16-8 but quite often 18-6 and sometimes just one meal a day.
The main reason I started intermittent in the first place is because I am a type 1 diabetic and it was a good way to regulate my sugar levels by eating only once or twice a day. Since then I have been able to stay > 90% time in range for the past 3 years. I was a terrible diabetic for the better part of 11/12 years, doing some damage to my body in the meantime, specifically my eyes, which has given me some mild vision problems, so stopping fasting to gain muscle is an absolute no go for me personally.
I don’t want to bulk because that would mean consuming more food and calories, and thus messing up my glucose levels. But I would like to gain some muscle or at the very least tone up just alter the appearance of my body.
I currently weight about 80 Kilogram and am 6ft 1in tall.
Has anybody here been able to gain any muscle while doing intermittent fasting long term? What sort of food are you eating and how frequently? I am willing to up my food intake slightly, but nothing drastic and not lots of carbs, for the reasons stated above.

2024.05.22 04:50 unshod_tapenade Miquella compels us to be his Elden Lord

I am suspicious of the kindly empyrean. To assume that he acts beneficently is to have already concluded that he does not share the same ambition and drive as his siblings. Or that his goals are somehow better. But he may want his own dynasty or to devour the world in his own, uniquely selfish way.
And, he is close to achieving that goal. His competition has, thanks to our tarnished, largely been eliminated. His brother, The Impaler, is essentially the last remaining opponent in the competition to be Marika's successor. He needs our help to destroy him.
Miquella has enchanted us for the entire game. He has given us gifts in the forms of weapons, consumables, and even his trusty steed - all of which aid our tarnished in clearing out his competition. And, those gifts endear us to Miquella; they foster our loyalty to him.
The other rune-bearers have strength and might in magic and combat. They can hold back the stars and level battlefields. But what is the cursed, forever-child Miquella supposed to do? He endears. He invents spells for his father and gives needles to his sister. He moonlights as the much-loved St. Trina.
But these acts are not kindly - at least not 'kindly' as it's commonly understood. I think it is more meant ironically. The ancient Greeks were so terrified of The Furies (fearsome deities of fate and retribution) that they preferred not refer to them by name, but instead as 'the kindly ones.' He does not bloom: he blesses. He does not graft: he gifts.
In the DLC trailer, the narrator specifically mentions that they chose to follow Miquella. Did they? Why mention 'choice' at all? Are those whose affection is compelled aware of the compulsion? Has our tarnished choicelessly pursued a path methodically charted out by the Unalloyed?
Miquella is an empyrean. All empyrean who have ascended to godhood have had their champion, their Elden Lord. Miquella is no different than his mother or his sister, Ranni. Behind it all is one giant, selfish scheme to achieve godhood.

2024.05.22 04:49 lefffturn Outbreak with no sores?

Hello! Ever since getting covid back in December my body has been all sorts of wack. Iv always had hsv-1 for as long as I can think. It was alot worse when I was younger but from the age of 16 to now 24 I have not had any actual out breaks. Whenever i feel a cold sore coming I quickly take acyclovir for 1 day and wake up fine with no sores the next day.
Since December, iv been having crazy symptoms after covid. Sometimes i get small bumps on my face (not cold sores, well doesn’t nt look like them) , skin rash, brain fog and the worst of all globus sensation and feeling overwhelmed 24/7. Its like my heart is slightly elevated and beats very hard. Not enough to call 911 but just very annoying. Feels like I can never relax.
Im just curious if a virus like hsv-1 can cause these crazy symptoms and for this long? Like i said I usually have no problems with hsv but I know covid can weaken the immune system and thats when something like hsv can really come out.
I recently got checked by cardiologist and all seems good. I just asked my dr for a blood test to see hsv levels.
Any other recommendations? Theres a chance my symptoms have nothing to do with my symptoms but always a chance

2024.05.22 04:47 Connect_Quality_2030 Were we Caffeine users or abusers?

Was Coffee even meant to be consumed everyday? Maybe it was only meant for family gatherings and celebrations. Maybe somehow Western Society has made caffeine abuse a taboo subject. The withdrawals mimic that of hardcore drugs. I honestly think in the next couple of years studies will be conducted to show the real negatives of caffeine. Skin issues, digestive issues, blood sugar levels, vertigo, inflammation(withdrawal symptoms or overuse). Caffeine was actually discovered in 11th century Ethiopia as a cognitive enhancer. I doubt the Ethiopians drank it everyday. Bottom line guys, I truly think this stuff is dangerous and was only meant to be consumed 2 to 3 times a year.

2024.05.22 04:44 Aroundapplecross How quickly should I expect results?

Hi all, I started Rinvoq eight days ago for my UC. I am in a severe flare right now that’s left me on a strict diet of broth and applesauce. So far I’ve noticed slight changes in pain levels throughout the day but still the same urgency, blood, and pain while on the toilet.
I know Rinvoq is famous for a pretty immediate response, I keep reading ~3 days. I’m wondering if the severity of my flare is effecting the fact that I haven’t noticed much of a difference? I realize I’m most likely being impatient but these past few months have been unbearable and I’m at my end with my UC.
Any advice helps! Thank you <3

2024.05.22 04:43 UnusualCaramel2327 When to see an RE and what would they do?

TW LC
I’m currently having a CP after two MCs (and a couple more CPs) and I’m not sure whether to keep going or see an RE and what that might do for me noting I am 39 and I seem to conceive every cycle we try.
Brief history: 1st pregnancy age 36, conceived first cycle, successful full term uncomplicated pregnancy 2nd pregnancy age 38, unplanned, CP 3rd pregnancy age 38, conceived first cycle trying, MC at 8 weeks 4th pregnancy, age 39, conceived first cycle trying, CP 5th pregnancy, age 39, conceived first cycle trying, saw the heartbeat then MMC at 11 weeks 6th pregnancy (right now), age 39, conceived first cycle trying, CP
So I have 1 LC (age 3), 2 miscarriages and 3 CPs and have got pregnant every time I’ve tried.
My OB is adamant that I’m fertile and my issue is aneuploid embryos but I didn’t get testing done on the embryos I lost - I didn’t think of it for the first one and for the second one I just couldn’t face it. My OB doesn’t think I need any further testing or IVF and his advice is to just try again.
I’ve had extensive GP level bloods done but not the ‘full work up’ for recurrent loss. Husband has had no testing.
I’m on a range of supplements and vitamins recommended by fertility naturopaths and nutritionists.
I have avoided extra tests because I’m so tired of needles and doctors and hospitals. I actually just want it to be ‘bad luck’ so I don’t have to do anything more and we can just try again and hope and pray we get our lucky embryo.
But I also feel like time is running out and maybe it’s foolish of me to avoid additional testing?
My question is can an RE help someone like me? Are my losses because of my age and there’s nothing that can really be done other than IVF with genetic screening?

2024.05.22 04:41 The_All_Father4300 Mahito and the power that mirrors mankind itself. An in depth scaling made by me

Mahito and the power that mirrors mankind itself. An in depth scaling made by me
So, I made a post recently about me thinking Mahito is underrated and if I should make a post on my personal scaling for him and I got a very positive response on that post, so here I am to make my personal scaling of Mahito and why I think he is a solid contender to be inside the top 10 of the verse even after so many time since his departure on the story.
So, there are a total of 5 main categories one needs to touch when scaling a character: strength, durability/resistence, speed, intelligence and abilities. I will tackle all of them in 1 or more paragrapths, having this explained let me begin:
How strong is Mahito?
First category and easiest to answer, how strong is Mahito? Well, for starters lets break a misconception here, Mahito is most definetly NOT relative to Yuji and Todo in most of his stats, he scales much higher and strength is not different. Going for the first image and feat of strength now Mahito is able to knock Ultimate Mechamaru with a punch, Kokichi points out that if he takes more hits like that Mahito will break through Mechamaru's armor, which he later does in the fight, breaking into Mechamaru's cabin with another punch. This alone should already put Mahito's strength above Shibuya Yuji's as his best feat of strength in the whole Shibuya arc is be able to throw a car at Jiro on the second image which quite less impressive than knocking a giant armored Mechamaru and breaking in with 2 hits.
Third image, Mahito casually sent Yuji flying with a punch and said that if he "put his back into it a little more" he would have splitted Yuji's skull, implying that he didnt straight-up one-shotted Yuji bcs he wasnt trying much, its also good to remember that Mahito had a duplicate when this happened which means Mahito was weaker by an unknown ammount, arguably not much tho considering his duplicate was so weak that Nobara could fight against it for a bit.
Fourth and fifth image Mahito also scales above his Polymorphic Soul Isomer, a transfigured human so strong that not only punched Todo through a building but made him ricochet both on the ceiling and the ground multiple times, Mahito not only should scale above him since he is the one that created PSI(Polymorphic Soul Isomer) but because he directly did way more damage to Todo with his black flash, now, you might say that this is an outlier since black flashes are way more powerful than a normal punch, and I would agree with you... If It wasnt by the fact that Todo used all his cursed energy to reinforce the place that Mahito would hit with black flash while he didnt reinforced himself at all when he received the attack from PSI, so Mahito's BF did way more damage than PSI punch even if Todo used all his cursed energy to defend against the first one and none against the second one, which should mean regular punch from Mahito > PSI punch.
Sixth and last image to scale his physical strength and the most impressive feat, final form Mahito created a huge crater by simply slamming Yuji against the ground. Now this feat is crazy, ppl dont seem to grasp how immense this crater is, but this image showcases well how enormous this crater is, as the seemingly small pipes on the right are actually gigantic when the page zooms on Mahito and Yuji, Mahito height on his regular form is 1,85 meters according to the fanbook but ISBODK Mahito is a bit taller so I put his height at approximately 2 meters, comparing Mahito's height with that part of the pipe behind him and using it to calc the size of the crater I came to the conclusion that this crater is AT LEAST 20 meters deep and have 30 meters of diameter, Mahito slammed Yuji through 20 meters of concrete and earth/stone and created a crater with the diamater of 30 meters, I kid you not that in terms of pure showcase of strength this is only behind Yuki punching Kenjaku thought the Sunyata barrier, no one aside from Sukuna, Gojo and Yuki have a better feat of strength, not Yuji, not Toji, not Maki, not Hakari, not Kashimo, not Ishigori, no one other than the 3 characters I mentioned have a better showcasing of strength than Mahito and he was already operating bellow 40% of his strength, perhaps even bellow 10% considering just prior to this he got hit by a black flash from Yuji on the face right after using his domain (talking about Yuji, I have no idea how this man survived this, he was probably operating at 1% or lower after he got hit by this ngl.)
Well, now that I think I covered all the relevant points about Mahito's strength I think I can go for the next point:
How durable/resistant is Mahito?
When it comes to durability Mahito is also a beast and we dont even need to go far to understand why.
Mahito is directly stated to be more durable than Choso's armor as we can see on the eight image, the same armor that greatly reduced the damage Choso would receive from Sukuna's black flash on nineth image, is good to also remember that earlier Choso got easily impaled by Sukuna's bare hands, so the fact his black flash didnt completely pierced through Choso's body shows how much Choso's armor mitigated the damage he would receive, Choso's armor also scales above Hanami's durability which is regarded as one of the most durable characters of the whole verse, now you might think: "But this is post training, Choso's armor is likely more durable." But I think thats unlikely, Sukuna comments on the progress of everyone he notices progressed such as Higuruma, Yuji and Yuta but he never does any comment regarding Choso's techniques, not a single comment on how piercing blood seemed faster than the last time or his armor being toughter than before, so it should be safe to assume that Choso progressed as a sorcerer by learning RCT and simple domain, but his blood manipulation techniques didnt got any better than they were.
Even when it comes to actual damage to his soul directly Mahito is also pretty tanky, he took a resonance from Nobara that directly harmed his soul, got a combo from Yuji for 4 pages straight without being able to move or reinforce himself with CE, got his clone destroyed, received a black flash from Yuji then received another black flash from Yuji on the face right after using his domain and then still survived a black flash where Yuji himself stated he would put all his cursed energy into It. So even Mahito's soul is very durable and resistant, and the durability of Mahito's soul also increases with the durability of Mahito's body taking into consideration that Yuji's normal punches did 0 damage to Mahito's soul after he transformed into ISBODK.
With the scaling of Choso's blood armor and ISBODK scaling above it I think its easy to say Mahito is also one of the most durable characters of the verse, around Ishigori or base Rika levels of durability, personally I think he is slightly more durable than them. Up to the next topic!
How fast is Mahito?
Now, this is a topic many people say Mahito is greatly outclassed, but lets see what he can put on the table here!
Mahito can outrun, outmaneuver and dodge Mechamaru's Pigeon Viola while the same also tries to punch him on image 10, that should scale dead even with Yuta dodging multiple smaller granite blasts on page 11.
Mahito was also able to dodge a point blank Ultra Cannon with only a burn on a part of his face.
Mahito is also the only one among the disaster curses that actually dodges a physical attack from Gojo, besides him all of them get punched, kicked or grabbed when Gojo tries to do so.
There are more feats of reaction speed from Mahito but those you will see soon in another category, whats important to know is that Mahito should have a reaction speed and movement speed compared to base Sendai Yuta before the 200% amp, which means that at his final form Mahito should have a movement speed and reaction speed twice as fast, very good, but it isnt absurd when compared to the top tiers of the verse. Next category.
How smart is Mahito?
Mahito is one of the smartest characters of the verse, he is a quick learner, creative and with very high adaptability, one of the best showing of this is how quickly Mahito catches on and adapts to boogie woogie, a technique that he himself states that its disorienting even when you know how it works, but through the fight he correctly guessed when and with who Todo is going to swap him with, we can see that on images 14, where despite Todo swapping places with Mahito, Mahito is the one that ends up catching onto it and hitting both Todo and Yuji, then we have page 15, where despite getting swapped with Yuji, Mahito is still one step ahead and duplicates himself so he won't get damaged and page 16 where Todo swaps Mahito's place twice in a row but Mahito can still see it coming and blocks Yuji when Todo swaps him with his clone(all of this are both feats of adaptability and reaction speed). We also see how much of a quick learner Mahito is when he copies Gojo's move of expanding the domain for 0.2 seconds on page 17 and this was the third time Mahito ever expanded his domain on his LIFE even Megumi who is also deemed as a genious throughout the series isnt that smart and fast to learn(Mahito's 0.2 domain is also extremely fast, when the same move was used by Gojo It caught Mahito, Jogo and Choso before they could react and Jogo could have used domain amplification to protect himself from UV, so its just a matter of very few characters having enough reaction speed to clash against or protect themselves). Creativity wise you can just use any time Mahito uses idle transfiguration as an example, really, I could spend the whole day talking about It. So another time, Mahito is again among the very best of the verse when it comes to his attributes. Last category.
How powerful are Mahito's abilities?*
This one should be a category I shouldnt spend much time on, If there's something everyone agrees is that idle transfiguration is one of the most powerful techniques of the verse, It makes Mahito virtually invulnerable to any kind of damage that doesn't affect his soul as he himself said multiple times as we can see on image 18 for example and that by itself is already a huge problem on his base form, but on his final form Mahito is top 5 most durable characters of the verse, give him invulnerability on top of that makes Mahito already invincible for most characters of the series, If that wasnt enough be aware that as a disaster curse Mahito's cursed energy reserves are massive, the same used his cursed technique for the whole night, transfigured way more than 1000 humans, kept changing his body, used other techniques like soul multiplicity and used his stock of transfigured humans till the very end, attack him until he runs out of cursed energy isnt reliable at all, you will surely die first most of the time. Talking about transfigured humans, those are the main stock for mahito to use his other techniques, like body repel and Polymorphic Soul Isomer and at his peak on Shibuya Mahito had 1000 of them under his direct control on the subway station, there's an argument to be made that all the transfigured humans on the entirety of Shibuya were under Mahito's control, and that would give him a near endless stock of transfigured humans for him to use as he wish, but even without going for this line of thinking Mahito still had many transfigured humans stocked inside him, allowing him to create many Polymorphic Soul Isomers, use body repel many times, and use his transfigured humans on the most unique ways such as using them as a machine gun, setting up traps, creating walls to make the opponent lose his sight and much more. Lasts things I want to adress about idle transfiguration is some arguments people use against Mahito and the technique, the first one and easiest to dismiss is that Mahito couldnt one tap Nanami and that means Mahito would need way more hits against stronger characters, making the technique lose its effectiveness, for one to understand this is a complete misconception look no further than Mahito vs Mechamaru, a grade 1 sorcerer much, much more powerful than Nanami who had temporary special grade sorcerer output/firepower and still got one tapped by Mahito, the reason why Mahito didnt killed Nanami with one touch before is because at that time Mahito was way weaker than he is at Shibuya, he barely knew how to use his technique and didnt even had a domain yet, he got exponentially more powerful between his first fight with Nanami and his fight with Mechamaru and 200% more powerful than that on his strongest state at Shibuya, so idle transfiguration is indeed extremely lethal even for extremely powerful sorcerers, the other argument against Mahito that some people use is that reincarnated sorcerers can hurt Mahito's soul, and that isnt true and was pratically confirmed on image 19 where we have a flashback to Yuji and Choso talking about souls and how Yuji and Sukuna are exceptions for being able to interact with would like they do because Choso can't even feel the soul of his vessel and Yuji says that thats because of the massive gap of cursed energy between the cursed object and the vessel, meaning that Choso and almost all the reincarnated sorcerers can't interact with the soul and cannot hurt Mahito's soul because of that. And again, Mahito have one of the most powerful and versatile abilities of the verse.
Now, does it even make sense for Mahito to actually be this powerful? Well, according to Gege's own opinion on image 20, yes, considering that he said Kenjaku, the widely regarded as third strongest character of the verse, would have a really hard time on a fight against Mahito (as well as Jogo.). So seriously guys, what are you all waiting to start putting Mahito on your top 10? One of the strongest characters on the series, one of the most durable on the series, speed good enough to keep up with anyone in the series that isnt Sukuna and Gojo, one of the smartest on the series and with one of the most powerful abilities on the series, Mahito is an all around beast who deserves recognition for his power, stats and brains.
And with this I end my analysis, thank you for everyone that read this until the very end and above all I hope this comment section is respectful because I spent quite a lot of time on this research and it mentally tired me lol.

2024.05.22 04:40 FrontPapaya9983 I’m confused on what to do. Do I stop ozempic or no..

I been on ozempic for about a year and a half. I am a diabetic (Type 2) and starting I had a A1C of 7.8 and now mine is a soild 5.7 I lost 26 pounds. HOWEVER. for that year and half I had stomach issues and I never adjusted even in the lowest dose, I would have days of sour stomach, or terrible stomach aches, my poop was not normal. Sorry to say it. I was eating normally as a diabetic should. No sugar, low carb, high protein, veggies, fruits etc. still my stomach issues continued. A few weeks ago… I accidently missed a dose (maybe two) and lord and behold I wasn’t violently sick. No stomach upsets. Nothing. My Blood sugar was fairly stable, I go to the gym four times a week. I honestly think it’s time to try something else or continue my journey to manage my diabetes by healthy lifestyle choices and risk going back on insulin in the future. I have an appointment with my doctor Friday. And I have no idea why I’m nervous to tell him I’m calling it quits on Ozempic despite the stomach issues and severe GI issues I have a perfect A1C but that’s about it. Any advice?

2024.05.22 04:40 Salty-Protection-640 White detritus in senior cat vomit – any clue?

I have a 14 year old cat who has been on a slow decline for the last year or so. eating less, throwing up more (he's always been a pukey boy), drinking more water, getting slower, losing weight, sunken face, goopy eyes, you name it..
He lost a lot of weight (24.X lbs to 17.X) and in Feb I got him a full blood panel, everything came back absolutely perfect, all levels right down the center of "expected" range. In the less than 4 months since then, he's down to 13.X, and barely eating anymore.
I'm ready to see him off tomorrow (the appointment is set), but today he threw up in my bed instead of the carpet, and I noticed this plethora of white specks in his vomit. doesn't look like anything he should've or could've eaten, to me.
https://imgur.com/a/MvVzEdq
Any guess what these could be? if it's a clear sign of something testable and easily treatable, I would go for that over euthanasia, so I'm curious if this tells us anything.. otherwise I'm ready to say goodbye. fwiw I did show my vet, she looked briefly at it and said she had no idea what it was and it didn't help.

2024.05.22 04:35 Student-Normal Gurus and Warrior Trading

There are so many questions about thr gurus out there, some are hated, some are fiercely defended, and they all have something else to sell you.
One that is both fiercely hated and fiercely defended is Ross Cameron with Warrior Trading.
The typical discussion runs to his 3 million dollar lawsuit from the FTC, he got sued must be a bad guy discussion (a lot of business owners deal with lawsuits).
I was looking at the FTC ruling and when outlining some of the prohibited actions under the FTC it says
"IT IS ORDERED that Defendants, Defendants’ officers, agents, employees, and attorneys, and all other persons in active concert or participation with any of them, who receive actual notice of this Order, whether acting directly or indirectly, in connection with promoting or offering for sale any good or service are permanently restrained and enjoined from making any Earnings Claims or assisting others in making any Earnings Claims, expressly or by implication, unless the Earnings Claim is non-misleading, and, at the time such claim is made, Defendants: (1) have a reasonable basis for the claim; (2) have in their possession written materials that substantiate the claim; and (3) make the written substantiation available upon request to the consumer, potential purchaser, or the FTC."
Earning Claims are defined as “Earnings Claim(s)” means any representation to a consumer, specific or general, about income, financial gains, percentage gains, profit, net profit, gross profit, or return on investment. Earnings Claims include: (1) any chart, table, or mathematical calculation that demonstrates possible results based upon a combination of variables; (2) any statements from which a prospective purchaser can reasonably infer that he or she will earn a minimum level of income (e.g., “earn enough to buy a Porsche,” “earn a six-figure income,” or “earn your investment back within one year”); and (3) any statements, claims, success stories, endorsements, or testimonials about the performance or profitability of representatives, endorsers, instructors or customers"
Now the question/discussion he repeatedly Claims in videos he turned $583 into $10,000,000, and the FTC fling explicitly states "Earnings Claim is non-misleading, and, at the time such claim is made, Defendants: (1) have a reasonable basis for the claim; (2) have in their possession written materials that substantiate the claim" while there are definitely people lying on the internet is it fair to say he did in fact make $10,000,000 since he made this claim prior to his run in with the FTC and that his "3rd party audited broker statements" aren't a farce? There is no mention that any of the FTC judgments are for misrepresentations of his earnings.
Or can someone smarter than me explain why he can still claim this even if it's bs?

2024.05.22 04:32 Patleibs Am I showing signs of D.I.D/OSDD?

Hello, I have been looking everywhere for somewhere to post this because I wanted more opinions, so this is my first time here. I’ve been having some symptoms going on for almost a year now. I was wondering if people on here could help me & I didn’t get any objections to this idea from my other friends, so here we go.
About last year I was talking to a friend who I’m no longer in contact with about some childhood stories, my first day in preschool, a hospital trip, and something that happened during middle school where I heard some sort of very faint voice in my head that didn’t sound exactly like me (I talked to my therapist about it, she suggested it was probably a depression voice since I was hearing thoughts as if I was overthinking or having anxiety.) All three times I started to feel incredibly zoned out, feverish, & it was hard to think. It felt very intense and I’m unsure why, a few days later I was with some friends on VR Chat, I start complaining about how I feel like I’m dreaming, and my friend asks if I’m dissociating, I ask them to clarify if feeling like you’re dreaming can count as dissociation, and they said yes to an extent, I ask my other friends who experience dissociation a lot and they say yes overall.
A few days after that, me and my family go somewhere for my dad’s birthday, it went fine but my mom started talking to me about how I always had a high pain tolerance since I was younger, while we’re eating she asked me if something in my childhood felt normal to me (I won't specify what it was, but it was something medical related to helping me eat) I said yes, so this and my friend asking if I was dissociating made me want to talk to my therapist about it both dissociation and my childhood.
I had a therapy appointment shortly after that and I ask my therapist what counts as dissociation (my other friends have explained it to me, I just never thought to myself “hey I feel like that a lot.”) and she explained to me what does count as dissociation and then I realize “hey I’ve felt like this a lot, maybe even every other day.” I ask her if next time we can talk more about my childhood since I was in and out of hospitals a lot and experienced a lot of other things related to that, and she says yes.
Around now is when I start feeling a pressure in my head a lot, or just a slight pushing feeling in my head feeling like somethings pushing my forehead forward, that or something trying to pull me away.
Next appointment we talk more about my childhood and some other things like middle school, and dissociation, and how I probably do have a lower level of trauma mostly revolving around my medical history, (I don’t recall any abuse or yelling besides my father grabbing my arm sometimes and raising his voice a good amount, he’s better now, just issues with tone.) Like I said earlier I will not specify what it is entirely but up till I was around 3-4 I was horribly sick, vomited a bunch, and had needles poked in me a lot for blood draws, needed a good amount of surgery, was constantly severely swollen most of the time, & suffered a lot of severe pneumonia (though I was still in and out of the hospital a bit till up to 5-6 I believe.)
More context is that I’m in a smallish sized friend group (more than 7-8 people at least.) About 3 people of them were systems, at this point, all 3 said systems told me they suspected me being a system and have been saying a lot of the symptoms seem very suspicious, & my descriptions sound similar to their experiences before they themselves found out they were systems, another 2 systems joined our group later on and they thought the same thing, so that’s 5.
Sometimes when I wake up, I do hear something like “Hey (my name).” quite often (when I hear things it also seems most common when I’m with friends.) I start feeling like I’m losing control of my body, sometimes (an example is I remember playing another game and suddenly I felt incredibly zoned out and I had to “hold on” Is how I’d put it.) Very rarely I do hear things during the day even now (though I thought I’ve been hearing my name get called down as I mentioned earlier, hearing things more commonly I feel like when I’m around others, when nobody did call me in reality, or in a call I hear someone in my head speak sometimes I’ve felt like.) another example is when I was in a voice chat on Discord with my other friends and we were all jokingly arguing about how Maria was said and I swear I heard a faint “Mari-uh.”
There’s not much else, besides constantly feeling a bit disconnected from reality, my therapist doesn’t know too much about the topic of dissociation unfortunately so she can’t be too reliable, my family is trying to look for a psychologist for me, here are some other notes.
-I am genderfluid, sometimes it feels like when I shift genders I feel like my head is melting and there’s a bunch of pressure on it - when I change genders sometimes it feels like it’s triggered by looking at other certain characters from other media (for an example, one makes me feel masculine, one makes me feel feminine, and one makes me feel non binary.)
-Talking to other systems most times triggers my head to flare up, most of the time feeling like something is sitting there (my other friends have suggested it is dissociative barriers.)
I have tried talking to “Maria” a bunch of times before, but it seems more responsive to other people (people saying “hello maria” jokingly, other systems speaking, etc, & flares up at things like me being mean lightheartedly towards my friends, talking to certain other friends, & sometimes when I’m around my dad the pain/pushing feeling flares up.)
-I am very likely autistic, if that is important.
-I have been having elevated blood pressure for over two years now (my therapist has suggested it might be why some symptoms are happening, though I have been on a light dose of medication for a bit, soon to move to a higher dose.)
-I have maybe heard voices when I was younger than 8 though I only feel like that has happened, I’m not too sure about the memory itself.
-I am pretty sure I remember a few instances where I was younger and I have randomly blacked out (mainly during dangerous situations) to wake up somewhere completely different, I have also shut down a lot mentally when I was young and zoned out a bunch - though it is probably due to a bunch of sensory overloads but still thought I’d mention it.
Forever I’ve felt like I’ve gotten these short, small rushing feelings in my head, like something is rushing towards the front of my head (sometimes my vision gets a bit blurry) the short moments of that rushing feeling might’ve been spiking up with how often it has been happening lately.
-Another friend who is a system has suggested things could be active at night because other alters could be feeling safer at that time.
-While I did say "Maria" is more responsive to others rather than me, the pain does sometimes go away when I type out "Please make my head stop hurting" or if I ask for my head to stop hurting. It seems more consistent when I type it out rather than saying it aloud, and if it does work, then I feel like I zone back in a little, even if I didn't feel too zoned out to begin with. It feels more consistent if I use name “Maria” or sometimes other names too.
-I have spoken to my therapist about how my memory of my childhood feels jumbled, as if I can only remember random certain events and small pieces, it still feels like a lot of my memory is missing (an example would be I cannot remember 2nd-4th grade for the most part.) Though my therapist did say missing gaps like that was normal but I’m still not sure.
-If my age is important, I am a 19.
-I’ve always felt a small struggle with who I am as a person, or my identity (I am able to say I am myself, but I’ve always felt a slight struggle at the same time, or I guess an off feeling when seeing myself in a mirror.)
-Sometimes it feels like I’m able to change my emotions as if it’s on command, I’d be breaking down terribly and sometimes I can snap myself into feeling mostly okay, though I am unsure If this is just me repressing those emotions or not.
-The head pain or pushing/pulling feeling in my head sometimes starts when I wake up and is pretty bad for a while.
-Sometimes the pain or pushing/pulling feeling goes away when I'm around others or outside.
I am aware nobody on here can diagnose me as none of you are likely a professional, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to get secondary opinions. I believe that’s all, I just want more opinions. Whoever has read this and made it this far, thank you and please put your own input if you have any thoughts. I am aware I should get a professional for this kind of thing but as I said earlier, my family is currently looking for a psychologist for me, and my therapist doesn’t know too much about these things unfortunately, so I just want more opinions on it to see if I can get more help.

2024.05.22 04:27 Final-Thing-9301 High AST/AlTs scared and worried. fatty liver or worse. really worried stressed all day :(

Hi im a 29 yr old male 5'6 and weighed at 182 lbs as of today. i had a check up with my pcp after not seeing one since 2019. i had some blood work done and i got the results on the patient portal and my heart dropped once i saw my results for my liver enzymes with them at 150 ALT (range 12-78) and my AST 54 (range 5-37). my doctor told me shell follow up with an ultrasound to check things out if they were high , this was before she sent me down the hall to get my blood drawn. i assume she hasnt even checked the results yet. im so damn anxious i came here to reddit to get a piece of mind. im googling all sorts of stuff about fatty liver and liver cancer. i started a low dose of suboxone for kratom use back in december 2023 and in january i switched to a new doctor and he had me go get my blood drawn , i guess suboxone can cause issues with the liver. so the results for that test were sorta high also with my AST being 45 (range 10-40) ALT 69 (range 9-46 ). the sub doctor scared me saying they were a little high and i could have fatty liver disease , this is where this all started . so i actually went to the ER a few days later out of panic and had the doctors draw my blood and my levels came back normal , the only thing the doctor saw was that my blood sugar was a little high and to follow up with my pcp and it took me a long time to get that apt with my pcp. had to wait months! also with todays results it showed my triglycerides levels were high and i know nothing about them but they were 445mg (range 40 - 200 MG/DL). my glucose levels are high also at 129 (range 74 - 106 MG/DL). my glucose wasnt this high back in january at all. im thinking about going to straight to the ER again and try to see if i can get a ultrasound or something done to make sure im alright. i cant stay off google or worrying myself sick. im so depressed that something more serious is going on. the last decade since i left child protective custody ive been on my own. i dont eat any veggies and rarely fruits (these past few weeks ive been eating fruit everyday , grapes, bananas and a apple). anyways the past decade ive ate alot of ramen, microwaved foods, chips and fast food. which are definitely, if not the cause of the high liver enzymes and high blood sugar. the thought of eating veggies grosses me out and makes me gag like it always does. this is gonna be a battle and if feel like its God telling me to take care of myself before i develop something more serious if it already isnt. i wanna live a long life. this is gonna be tough to adjust and change my diet. i come home after work at night and eat alot of crap . pizza rolls , ramen , frozen chicken bites etc. if anyone has any advice , or any words to calm me down so i dont stress myself to death that would be awesome. also is there any subreddits i could join to help fix my diet and where to start ? i plan on making green smoothies to get my greens in and lose weight
