I do not get what the big deal about over or under TP is.

My ex contended that something might fall in them.

Living in AZ in a decrepit, no longer well-sealed trailer, dust was the thing I worried about getting into glasses. Here, we have our glasses right-side-up, but the mugs are up-side-down for easier stacking.

Sail, I'm so sorry to hear about Tucker.

Fourteen months into Intuitive Eating (eat what you want, when you want, as much as you want, but pay attention to signals from your body about those; take time to notice how things make you feel as you eat them as well as how you feel after), and I am down 41 lbs. This is in spite of the fact that I still freak out about how eating like this is going to make me gain tons of weight. Every time the doctor has me get on the scale, I expect it to go up, but it keeps going down. At this rate, my turn to be young and pretty and skinny will start when I am 47.

Even if it does turn around and bite me in my copious ass, I will never diet again. Y'all know the saying, "one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results". They let me out of the hospital. That means I'm not anymore.

In my house, the house rules are: don't close an open door (you'll probably trap a cat) and don't leave a closed door open; put it back where it was; and don't wear outside shoes inside.

WRT TP, I am Tep and Sean. When Hec accused me of gaslighting him, I had absolutely no idea what he could possibly be talking about. I have a slight tendency toward under, because my cats seemed to have a slightly more difficult time batting at it and unrolling the entire roll that way, but since I hadn't had cats since I moved in with him I was just doing it out of mindless habit and had never even noticed that he did it differently.

At least, now, if I ever really do decide to gaslight him, I know exactly how to do it.

In my house glasses are upside down, the toilet paper goes on the roll, not on the counter next to the roll, and if the sheet comes untucked it means you can play cocoon.

Good on you, Andi! If that's what works for you, then it works. I can't stand it when doctors or nosey parkers think they know how your body is going to respond in any given situation.

I feel it's far more likely that there's dust on the floor of the cabinet, which will get on the rim of the glass like margarita salt.

Exactly.

I do not get what the big deal about over or under TP is.

If it's under, you have to pull harder, and the spring-loaded thing comes off.

Andi, that's wonderful! You're already beautiful, and you deserve to feel good, and feel good about yourself.

My only opinion regarding the toilet paper is if you use up the roll, you put on a new one

Oh, Jesus. We have a whole passive-aggressive thing going one that neither one of us has ever acknowledged but we both continue to do, where when the roll is getting towards the end, we try to use less and less, so as to not be the one to have to change the roll. It's comical (until I'm the one left with 2 squares of paper left).

Oh, and if you make the bed, sweet. But don't tuck all the sheets tightly in, because that's where my feet go, and it's uncomfortable when you have to fight the sheets to not be squishing your feet. Also, I often like to stick my feet out from the sheets, so...

Our bed is a freakish hybrid, because Tim wants his feet trapped and snuggly, and I need my feet to be free. So his side of the bed has the sheets tucked in tightly at the foot (by me; otherwise he just shoves them down there half-heartedly when he makes the bed) and my side is never, ever tucked in on pain of death.

Andi, have you ever read the Fat Nutritionist's website? Intuitive Eating is more or less what she talks about, although she generally falls on the side of "focus on health, not weight loss (although if you lose weight that's fine, and if you don't, that's fine)." But I love what she has to say, about trusting your body, and listening to your own internal cues instead of external cues, etc.

It sounds like what you're doing is good for you from both a physical and mental standpoint, and that's an excellent, beautiful thing.

great news WS.

glasses are upside down - but they are in an open cabinet

TP - as long as a roil is there I don't care but the cats prefer over because it is more fun.

Sheets - if you care make the bed - because i promise if I have been in it it will be at least half unmade in the morning . Call me Beth - destroyer of tucked in sheets.

In our house many of the cabinets will not stay closed but my parents blame all open cabinets on me( even thought I no longer live with them ) - because I am not good about closing them or drawers or lids

there used to be a laundry discussion . and then I shut up. because it wasn't critical. so whoever is doing the laundry does it however they want .

I had a roommate who left cabinets open all the time. So one day while she was out of the kitchen I opened them all, and all the drawers, and possibly the oven, refrigerator, and freezer.

Scared the SHIT out of her when she walked back in the kitchen. I told her now she knows how I feel. But she still left cabinets open. I was unwilling to try shock therapy to break her habit.
