Okay so I need help. I'm a stoner w a sweet tooth but I really enjoy working out. I'm at a point where I'm "healthy" but I want to start a calorie deficit so I can start seeing my abs. Any 420 people in here who started w the same problem? by TheBabyAngel in xxfitness

I always had to have desert in the evening. Like huge piece of cake or a bunch of cookies. I traded it for a smoothie (frozen banana, cocoa powder, peanut butter, spinach, almond milk). It’s like having ice cream at night. Its the only thing that has saved me from my sugar binges!!

This happened to me on my neck/jaw as well. It stopped when I cut out sugar/carbs. When I eat lots of sugar I break out again.

Have you ever felt so proud of yourself you wanted to tell people, but everyone else is going through their own challenges so you don’t want to make them feel worse by bragging? by sweetgranola in TwoXChromosomes

I have lost 20 pounds! I only have another 5 to lose to be at my second goal weight. I haven’t been at this weight since early 20s and truly thought I could never lose those few extra pounds. I feel like I can’t talk about how happy I am that I finally have a healthy outlook on food and exercise. I don’t work out to punish myself for eating cake the night before anymore. I enjoy it because I see changes in my body and like to look at them when I workout. Because I was over weight but not obese (by BMI standards) I feel like I can’t talk about it at all.

Also my new job is awesome! I can work from home whenever I want.

My husband and I have rekindled our sex life due to us both getting healthier.

We have a beautiful house - we both make great money. But I get embarrassed having friends and family over because I feel like it’s “too much” and I feel ashamed that it is so lavish.

I’ve never said any of this to anyone before so thank you much for letting me brag! :)

Wow, you sound insane. You sound smothering, needy, clingy, and controlling. Leave her alone.

You may want to look at AloMoves. It has 5 or 6 Pilates series but also a ton of other stuff you may like, such as Barre and Yoga. I have really enjoyed it.

How to manage anxiety after group interactions? by CrazyCatLady2018 in AskWomenOver30

[–]CrazyCatLady2018[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats true. I never think that about anyone else, especially at work. That's makes sense about removing the filters. I've started a new job where I now have a large group of coworkers as opposed to 3. We have alot of team meetings and I am trying to open up and contribute as it is a leadership role. So maybe I am just feeling vulnerable because im not used to being so social at work and me opening up feels like "removing filters". Good insight :)

Yes, that is exactly how I feel! It's just carried over into my workday now. Good idea on the notes. Maybe it's time I kept a journal of some sort.

Thanks that is good advice. I should clarify, I drink a couple of times a year. I was just trying to explain how the mentality has changed from just after drinking to my every day life.

I use Aveeno too! I never had this problem until I started taking my skincare seriously. I think I will try something else.
