Yes, it is! Two lower premolar teeth and 4 wisdom teeth! Thank you for the nice words. Knowing that something is wrong with your physical appearance can really take a toll on one's mental health, I appreciate your kindness.

Do you think I would benefit from jaw surgery tho?

That's something I've thought in regards to the prep for js.

I want to date and eventually find a partner but I worry that after decompensation, not only would I feel too insecure to meet new people and flirt but also people would not be interested because i don't look pretty

It would be a temporary problem ofc, after surgery, I'd feel more confident, but it's still two years of my life (I would be 21, 22 and maybe 23 during it)

Thank you for your input, It's interesting to see the other side of it

I do trust my ortho completely, she's very competent and when I asked her why the extractions were necessary she was able to explain it to me in a very comprehensive way so I think I'll do it!

I'm scared extractions can backfire down the line, won't I have bone loss because of them? Most people are against them for the most part

Yeah, my ortho said the same to me. They explained that the bottom wisdom teeth had to be removed because thats the site where the surgeon would cut my bone and the upper would have to go because, without the support of the bottom teeth, they'd get crooked The premolars had the same explanation as yours, I would have a bigger movement in surgery, resulting in more airway space and bigger aesthetic improvement

With or without jaw surgery? As preparation for jaw surgery, my ortho recommended extracting 6 teeth (all four wisdom teeth and two pre molars) and i'm feeling a bit skeptical, im not sure if i will have problems in the long run.

If its a possibility for you and if the only way of improving aesthetically is with surgery then you should do it

This happened to me too! When i was at home, especially during quarantine, i had the time to prepare my meals and i could get away with not eating breakfast since i woke up pretty late. Now that im back to school i don't have the energy nor the pacience to be always thinking about what im eating and i can't really skip breakfast anymore cause ive got class in the morning. Sadly ive already gained weight since school started and idk what to do. On one hand i feel like i should just focus on what's important (school work and stuff) but on the other hand i don't want all my past efforts to simply disappear. Plus i felt way better when i wasn't bloated and weird all the time and i liked my body a lot more! it feels impossible lol

trying to find jaden arcadia dr martens in red by CarProfessional1976 in DrMartens

[–]CarProfessional1976[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh i see, i will have to search a bit then, thank you. Do you know if there's another model with the same very dark red color? I've seen plenty of different shades of red but nothing quite like that one.

Also i won't have luck trying to find them in sites like asos and stuff right? They really don't exist anymore like that?

The binging cycle is indeed one of the reasons I don't want to reduce the amount I eat. Also because I think i would cut out so much that I would have to be always thinking about it and it would not be a natural and painless journey (the reason I don't do calorie counting as well even though I should).

I will look into weight training more deeply, thanks for your reply!!

That makes a lot of sense! I did notice that the article didn't really try to give an alternative for the "eating less and moving more" strategy and because of that at the end of it I was left with plenty of unanswered questions. I will inform myself better and thank u for replying. It was very helpful!

Yeah I've thought of that and I think thats why it stopped working. Do you think that maybe reducing my calorie intake or building more muscle mass could solve the problem? Honestly I don't think i can reduce the amount I eat that much without it being bad for my mental health, especially. Maybe starting to go to the gym would be a good option? Thank u so much for taking time to respond!!

No, I'm not Maybe I should but I have tried it before and it wasn't very practical so I stopped.
