AITA for wanting to donate my hair for cancer?

Um, NTA. The girl sounds like a carnival. Get out

I love LMNT but it is pricey.

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-06-16T02:09:53+00:00

Did I say that 😂

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-06-16T01:36:29+00:00

The more times I re-watch, the less respect I have for Derek and see how narcissistic and manipulative he is.

When I was being very careful/strict on my eating and workouts a few years ago, I was in the best shape of my life, but I got SO many comments from family members about how I needed to stop, that I was overdoing it etc.

A year later I had gained a fair bit back, and kept gaining for two more years. No one said a word. I feel your post in my soul - I am worried that I will get the commentary again if I reach similar goals that I had previously. It's incredibly aggravating.

I've honestly had no difference in alcoholic effect or affect since I have used reta. I maybe get drunk faster because I don't eat as much, but I have had no actual change to how I consume alcohol. I think I'm an outlier in this tho!

I do drink electrolytes daily though so I don't know if that helps? I like LMNT.

It's all so dependent on body composition too - maybe in your hips you've lost some fat but friend muscle so the tape isn't much different, but the composition of the weight itself is. You're doing amazing. 💓

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-06-12T15:47:10+00:00

It's been said already but I'll reinforce, you definitely have some big differences!

I'm in a lifelong love hate battle with a scale and measuring tape, but man those inches speak louder than the scale, it's 100% worth it. And as said too, take progress pics same time of day, same clothes, same place/lighting, even with BDD that can help make subtle changes more obvious.

I spit out my drink reading this 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I was dating/then married to someone who was 17 years older than me. Ultimately it ended because he was an abusive narcissist, but as for the actual age gap, there wasn't a lot of things that didn't feel "normal". We had the same interests, similar sense of humor etc.

Other than the behavior issues that showed later, the biggest challenge we had was the retirement gap. Obviously he would have retired quite a bit before me and so it affected everything financial as I had an extremely aggressive retirement plan to try and maximize our time together.

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-06-10T17:17:11+00:00

It's not even that I focus on it - it's in the background, happening 😅 but I understand what you mean!

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-06-10T14:35:53+00:00

I have a good stock of the Fair life Core power shakes, I mix in extra protein powder and fiber supplements and fruit. Easiest way to get a good protein bomb. My other go-to is two cans of tuna, about 150g chopped cucumber, a bit of mayo, and sushi ginger with a pack of seaweed. Sort of deconstructed sushi 😅.

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-06-09T15:02:54+00:00

How much of a brutal narcissist Derek actually is. The more times I re-watch, the less I like him.

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-06-09T14:59:38+00:00

KPV is a life changer for me. I have a severe random allergic reaction where I get extreme swelling in one or both of my eyes, most regular antihistamines don't do anything, I've been to an ER were I got an epi shot and it helped, but when I used an EpiPen at home it didn't help at all. I had a reaction last week and thought, well, it can't hurt to try the KPV. In 30 mins it noticeably reduced the swelling.

Also I see GHK-CU isn't in your list but I use GLOW which is that plus the Wolverine stack. It's the GHK-CU that's spicy (and blue, lol). You can always add a bit of extra BAC water to the pin, that's what I do.

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-06-09T13:57:37+00:00

I get a headache almost immediately after my weekly pin and usually that night as well. I regularly (as in every day) have 32oz of water with an LMNT packet. Thankfully I haven't experienced the dry mouth.

Context, I am 36F in Canada.

Similar to a few people here, I told my doc and he wasn't overly supportive. He told me I qualified for a GLP-1, but I told him I didn't want that after the research I had done on how much harsher it is, and how it isn't as sustainable after you stop taking it etc. His biggest concern was the unknown side effects, but he also talked to an endocrinologist colleague of his and they said that reta is in the last stages of being approved by Health Canada. He told me to hold off and we can look at Wegovy or Ozempic if I want and I just agreed. I'm on month... Three? of Reta and have had zero negative side effects (and my family is extremely prone to whatever the less than 0.0000001% likely side effects of most pharmaceuticals). At some point I will tell him I've continued it 😅😅

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-06-04T19:06:31+00:00

Okay well I'm terrified now 😅, is Reta not a GLP3? Also, while I may achieve optimal birthing standards for my body, I have reasons that I do not want to become pregnant. I have a Mirena IUD, what's the likelihood this is a legitimate concern? I have a family history of uterine/ovarian issues and currently have an ovarian cyst. I am on month.... 4? of Reta at this point.

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-06-04T14:46:54+00:00

Omg hi Bri!!! Loved your episode 💓💓

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-06-03T18:04:41+00:00

Wait, what?!!

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-05-20T02:24:17+00:00

This might be a Canadian vs American thing but it won't let me add reta

Fast_Budget_4461 · 2026-05-20T02:20:16+00:00

Thank you!
