It sounds ridiculous and dangerous. You are messing with your body’s hormonal balance. There may (or may not) be a desired side effect of weight loss but there will also be others.
Habit changing – healthy eating, small food portions and exercise – are the [only?] things that work. It takes more effort and willpower than injections, but is longer lasting.
I know that weight losing isn’t easy. Hatzlocho!
[as a start, change your name to carrots123 :)]
Interesting, I was thinking along the lines of the OP recently.
I thought it might be because the older children are directly influenced by their parents since they spend more time with them. The younger ones generally spend more time with their siblings and get the family values ‘second-hand’ from them.
brech: Din is din and deeds are deeds. You can’t get away from what you did. Did you think you would? But it will all be totally just. Extenuating circumstances and anything else will all taken into account.
Then there is always teshuva. We should try that sometime.
But as nitpicker said, it is all beyond our understanding.
“That is weird. I am also an anesthesiologist,”
popa: talking to yourself?
midas harachamim is when there is a chance of teshuvah. So once a person dies, there is din not rachamim.
soleik: There are many kochos in the world. We’ve lost much of that ancient knowledge, but it does exist. I’m sceptical about these kind of things because we have no way of knowing what is real and what is invented/imagined (99.9%?).
Dayan Fisher, though, was no minor personality. I was told that his segulos/remedies (he had many) had been passed down from many generations back.
BTW, ECV does have its risks.
popa’s posting from his work desk.
but his descriptions are fascinating, in any case.
some more advice on this thread

147: “Money doesn’t talk, despite the verse in Koheles.”
and what do you mean by that?
avoid the polar bears. they may want to eat you if they’re hungry. And I dunno if running for your life will help much.
DY: Take care with your tone. Your last para is offensive, particularly when directed at a talmid chochom
don’t you mean sunk it?
As mentioned above, you’ll find it difficult finding a never-ending source of suitable books.
When I was younger, I spent most of my spare time reading (non-jewish) fiction. Now, looking back, I regret that no-one pointed out to me the world of non-fiction.
There is a far wider ranger of suitable non-fiction books. Fiction is, of course, more interesting for a child, though you may though find ways of convincing him.
42: Correct.
More reliable to use your LGT (local gabbe tzedaka)
About the ??? ?? ???? ???? point made above. I have heard that the Chofetz Chaim says that the gemara was abbreviated to ?”? which was *incorrectly* expanded to ???? ????. It should read ???? ????? – meaning that there is no deficiency in the *mitzva of tzedaka*. There may very well be a deficiency in the person giving for having such intentions. I’ll try and find the source.
In any case, this gemara doesn’t apply here since it is a chiyuv of matonas l’evyonim, not a general mitva of tzedaka.
popa: unsafe if you intend relying on that telephone donation for your chiyuv of matanos l’evyonim
haifagirl: Welcome back. We missed you.
ZK: You are dead wrong about Hitler. But it’s a side point and OT in any case, so I won’t pursue it here.
NB: my last comment was directed at the mod who put in my posts, not at you.
oh, really!!
mod: please delete my above post. changed my mind. thanks.
ZK: “I STAND FOR HASHEM!!!”
Perhaps Hashem would prefer that you err on the side of loving His children. Do it the Berdichever way.
I see no reason to hate her, just her actions.
And you are bringing in Hitler. Again. That really disturbs me. It’s irrelevant that you are not actually making any direct comparison. (the Esav and Nimrod bit is also irrelevant but doesn’t disturb me as much, though perhaps it should).
up to page 10 and nothing new said since page 1
ICOT: “I’d love to try a parachute jump from a plane. Just once. “
I’ve always dreamed of doing that. I doubt I ever will.
OneOfMany: “The Westing Game, anyone?”
yes, yes. that’s what i thought too
(yeah, I know you posted that 3 months ago, but i just read it now)
soliek: see thejewishweek
and good luck with the new contact you made. hope something works out.
‘Paddy, can you play the piano?’
Paddy: ‘I don’t know, I’ve never tried’
HaQer: Do the maths. And you’d better take advice before you invest.
uneeq: I’m curious – do you understand Yiddish?
ymb: “Take into Account that since israel was founded many many More yidden have been killed there than in the whole world combined…”
source, please.
ZK: “The mitzvah of Ahavas Yisroel is where HaShem says it’s applicable. (Would you LOVE a hitler?)”
That’s going much too far. There is no comparison between Hitler and this woman. Not qualitatively and not quantitatively.
So just where does the mitzva of Ahavas Yisroel apply? What are its parameters?
ZK: i agree with soliek, MP and others. You cannot judge her.
You are not expected to praise her, and you can criticise her actions. But you cannot you judge her.
Nechomah: streets without a 13 were numbered that way when the street was built. Houses with a 13 are avoided by superstitious people, so Jewish people often take them.
squeak: historically, left was the natural side to pick – with your weapon-hand between yourself and any [potential/actual] enemy coming towards you.
mods: the link in the OP should be removed
In England, you’ll often find streets without a number 13, or with someone Jewish living there.
A relative booked to have an operation, with usually a few months waiting time. The following Friday was the 13th of the month and so there was an empty slot – no-one wanted an operation on an unlucky day. It was her lucky day.
soliek: yes they do
i was actually considering posting a ‘like’ since it was well expressed and reflect my thoughts but this thread moved so fast that i thought i wouldn’t bother.
Popa: ‘like’ to your posts .
My niece has this problem. She’s under 10 but the doc recommended going to a nutritionist since she was putting on weight too fast.
For the main meal, my SIL always makes a soup first to fill up, so that she’ll eat less carbs in the next course.
For a bread meal, she gives plenty veg, yogurt, etc, so that she won’t eat too much bread.
Nosh is only for Shabbos and even so she doesn’t buy the high fat/sugar nosh.
Plenty fruit.
My SIL has made changes to the family diet and tries not to make an issue out of it, but it isn’t easy. I haven’t heard of any OA for kids
not going under a ladder is christian superstition
and what about the end of a banana?
the end of a kugel? which end? that’s a new one. or did you make it up?
A couple came home to find two doves sitting on their dining room table. They went to ask R Chaim Kanievsky what this sign meant
Answer: ???? ?????? ??? ????
(for those browsers that don’t do Hebrew: ‘it’s a sign that the window was open’)
Due to the 5th degree that Mrs B is getting from her mother-in-law, her sisters, her sisters in laws, ect, she feels compelled to start on a very painful, costly and emotional road of treatments. Why? Because the pressure is on.
Your points are valid, but that’s not what the OP is talking about.
He’s talking about the pain of wanting another child in addition to the 2 he has. As he himself pointed out, he isn’t comparing it to the pain of those who are childless. But his pain is real and understandable.
So in the context of this thread, I would consider your post insensitive.
But being disagreeable may be.
why doesn’t he just create a new name.
Say, umm, Borough Park Homeowner.
BPM: Who cares?
soliek: it doesn’t say ‘blocked’. Why can’t you use it?
