Oh hey this is exactly the scenario in my house right now, every word is what's happening/has happened. My DD will be 2 in a few weeks and she is definitely showing signs. Told my H I wasn't emotionally ready to train another kid yet and he said "but....no more diaper buying!" I'm so conflicted. "but... so much work!" we literally just trained the older kid six months ago. i'm gonna try pullups and see where we get this week before deciding to go full force. I’m starting potty training w/ my two year old when summer starts in a couple weeks. We don’t have a main level bathroom and our townhouse stairs are super steep and gated because it is too easy to slip down them (we’ve all done it more than once). She’s also too little to get up on the toilet or wash her hands without help. It is going to make PTing such a PITA, but she is ready and I don’t want to hold her back.

basically any veggies (onions, diced tomatoes, carrots, peppers is what I used), plus chicken broth Interesting. I am not a fan of the regular cabbage texture but I like napa cabbage soup with miso. Although I'm not sure I could do it for 4 days+ and plus I'm assuming rice isn't allowed so that would be a dealbreaker for me.

I'm over here jealous of the kids essentially potty training themselves, but I am 100% projecting because I am over here with a 5 year old who is just now in underwear overnight, and not always successfully dry. And who wasn't day trained until the very last second before preschool at 3.5. Use pull ups over night and save yourself the headache. Mine was almost 7 before we ditched those. Mine was in them daytime until 3.75. We didn't deal with a billion accidents either because fuck that. A lot of people are round pegging a square hole with potty training. Daycare/preschool requirements don't help with that.

So you eat absolutely nothing, think you are losing fat but are only losing water, and will be pissed as fuck when it all comes back because this eating isn't going to last. Good choice. Hope you are having fun. I'm very well aware that I am only losing water and that it will come back after I'm done. I've got a very specific goal I need to meet this weekend so I don't lose $. Hence the ridiculous diet and related confession. There are considerably better and faster methods of cutting weight than this nonsense.

I had big dreams of potty training my 2.5 year old during my maternity leave. It... did not work. He then legit woke up one morning around 3 yrs old and said "I am not wearing that pull-up today or anymore" and that was that. Nighttime is another story and he is still rocking the pull-up at 4. My 2YO regularly tells me that he's not wearing a diaper to bed.

You just have a lot of extra messes to clean up now".

As a follow up to last week's confession for my friend's crush on animated Jafar, she sent this to our friend group completely unsolicited. HilarityEnsued

I don't know if it's a confession or UO but I don't even get the urgency some parents have to be done with diapers. I honestly don't mind it at all. It's not that expensive (relative to my budget), my kid doesn't fit it, and it's so god damn easy when we are anywhere outside the house to not have to race and find a bathroom. My friend trained her son the week he turned 2 (he was a god damn unicorn) because she kept saying "I'm so done with diapers, I'm so over it" and I just really don't feel like that at all. To me it's just whatever.

I'm only potty training because of preschool. We're no where near trained yet.

Unhealthy I know, but I could use an extra $200 right now.

Intermittent fasting maybe? You still take in the same number of calories with this, just over a shorter period of time. You don't just skip over that intake, you change the timing.

So this is 2 things - 1 - I don't want to lose the $150 I put into it and 2 - there is a potential to win multiple hundreds on top of getting that $150 back. Highly highly motivated!

Intermittent fasting maybe? I do IF and it’s helped but it’s not going to cut weight super quickly. Unless maybe if you have a lot to lose and also change your calorie intake which I haven’t really done.

Why are baby gates attacking you? All of mine are pretty well-tempered. #blessed I have one of those cheap wooden ones (that don’t have a door so to speak) blocking off my kitchen. I had my hands full of groceries I hit my knee with my one leg trying to get over it causing me to lose my balance hitting my hamstring on the other leg. I did something similar and ended up breaking a bone in my foot. It really sucked and was embarrassing to explain. lol

It feels kind of...like cheating (or something) to basically starve yourself to win a dietbet and then just gain it right back afterwards. I dunno.
