Has anyone attempted/completed the E2M Fitness challenge?

Hi! Does anyone have any pet insurance recs? My dog is 3 yo, healthy, small chihuahua/Boston terrier mix. He’s had surgery on one of his legs and now has a plate in there that the doctors say might bother him when he gets older. But not an issue for the foreseeable future. I’m looking for insurance that’ll cover routine checkups, bloodwork, other basics as well as in case of emergencies—surgeries, etc. TYIA!

I think my partner is making my eating disorder worse. It seems like he is very conscious of weight or at least looks, and I feel like he often tries to deter me from eating (like if I mention a late lunch he'll reply that we're having dinner soon so to hold off). I'm not sure if he is even aware of it, but he knows about my issues so it makes me wonder. My ED also runs rampant so it could be all in my head. Does anyone have experience dealing with this? I want to say something but not sure how.

Hi Fishes

I am earning decently here in India and have an offer for 30k in Abu Dhabi ( I got it through Linkdin😎).
Though all my formalities are done and i am set to go, i am having second thoughts about this move regarding how my life will be in a conservative country and will I be able to find people with a similar mindset. Has someone in the group faced something like this before an abroad move ?
Will really appreciate it if sm1 residing in UAE can let me know how life is like there.

I don’t like to wear my shoes inside the apartment so I’ve been using it barefoot but not sure if this is ideal?
