what should i do now? i always stay under my allocated calories in a day which is 1,562. when i first started i lost 10 pounds and i’ve had no trouble keeping that off but i just keep floating around the same weight and can’t seem to lose anymore.

i get at least 6k steps everyday. i should increase that, right?? i heard the 10k steps everyday thing was a myth but now i’m not so sure. every time i try walking the treadmill i don’t struggle but i just kinda get really really bored and stop. 😭. and what foods are good for keeping you from eating more throughout the day? i’ve noticed that it if i eat some form of potatoes my calorie count is always lower for that day.

lately every time i’ve been to a clinic or even ER the nurses have been so gossipy and rude and it has just been blowing my mind at how this seems to be unanimous across every medical building, at least in my town, and how they all seem to think think their behavior is acceptable.

last time i went to the ER it was for my dad. he had fallen and hurt his back severely + had a concussion and had to have surgery. every time i would leave the room these two nurses were sitting at the same desk, pretending to work on a computer (watched one of them for like 10 minutes, she stays on the same screen and slightly moves the mouse now and then) and they were always talking about a patient.

not discussing, gossiping and judging them. literally shit like “did you see what she was wearing?”, and if they saw me looking they’d immediately go silent until i went back to my dads room. i once heard them start saying something about my mom ”the patients wife in room 4”, and then saw me and stopped. what were they gonna say about my mom? 😐

now my grandma is in the ER because she got dizzy and lost control then bumped into a shelf and got hurt. the ladies at the front desk, when they took her back, only sent my mom with her (her daughter) and said “well let y’all know when you can go back. an hour and a half passes before finally we get up and go ask if we can go back there now, and before we can say anything she goes, in this rude tone, “oh are you finally ready to go see her?”. wtf??

when we got into the room i was telling my mom and grandma about it and then, with the door wide open mind you, i saw one of the ladies from the front desk come over to the nurse who was in my grandmas room and say “did she complain that we didn’t send her back here?” and the nurse laughs and nods then closes the door. so freaking rude. these are the people trained to help people and they’re more worried about gossiping about them. mind you it takes them 5 hours to even do a few scans and at one point the nurse came in after hour 3 and said “yeah all the scans came back idk what we’re waiting on now” and it still took another 2 hours before we even saw the doctor once.

i have been vegetarian for 5 years. i don’t and have never rubbed it in anyone’s face, tried to force people to convert to my diet, or even preached why im vegetarian unless im pressed about it.

in the case of my boyfriend now he became vegetarian because i told him i was, he asked why, and he said he thinks i’m right and now he no longer purchases meat. i told him that’s great, but he still eats meat that’s offered to him sometimes and i have not once shown any issue with this. my friends eat meat, my family eats meat, my coworkers eat meat, i don’t know a single full vegetarian other than myself personally and i have never tried to change anyone’s mind on it.

my family, namely my dad, thinks it is funny to bring it up every chance they get that i am apparently controlling and think i’m better than everyone else. as for just last night, at the dinner table my dad started saying that he was going to start ”sneaking my boyfriend cheeseburgers” in the middle of the night since i “won’t let him eat meat”. if my boyfriend refuses meat around him he immediately says “don‘t be like her, eat the meat” and if he goes for something plant based “hey bud, that’s the vegetarian stuff, you don’t want that”.

at some point i said “i don’t ever tell people what they can and can’t eat, why do you keep acting like i do? i think it’d be great if everyone stopped eating meat but im not forcing anyone to.” and in response someone picked up their plate with meat on it and said “don’t you dare take this from me!” and everyone started laughing. it’s so frustrating. it feels like everything i say just goes in one ear and out the other. i told my mom i am tired of these comments about me and she said to stop being so sensitive. am i just being sensitive? AITA?
