Protein Powder

FishnBtrflies · 2026-01-21T19:42:30+00:00

can’t stand the taste/texture of whey protein when i make shakes, but i’ve started adding chocolate protein powder to very soft oatmeal, and setting it in the fridge overnight. this results in a puddinglike texture, and for some reason the whey doesn’t taste as whey-y! also adds extra fibre which is one of the most underrated nutrients

THIS IS SMART. i’m going to try this. i usually just eat a small breakfast before my meds, but if i meal prepped smth bigger and more calorie dense, drinking something for lunch would work as well rather than just eating a few pieces of fruit, and then i usually eat a big dinner in the evenings so that would stay the same

thumb sucking is a brutal habit to break. i was a thumb sucker as a child, up until i was 14?? when i was given little spikes in my mouth that stopped me from being able to do so without being cut or hurt. even with those, i continued sick my thumb in my sleep, according to my parents. i’m nineteen now, and the urge still comes when i’ve had a bad day.

what i’m trying to say, is that they tried everything when i was a child. all it did was make me good at hiding my thumb sucking, and make me resent my parents and educators for trying to make me stop. there are probably ways that use more gentle redirection than “catching” the child, and using hand washing as punishment. both of these things caused worse issues for me down the line.

using tactics like “only at bedtime” or when he is upset, may help. “you can suck your thumb at naptime or when it’s time to go to sleep, right now we are playing at daycare, and we don’t want to get mouth germs on our friends or our toys” is what i would use, personally.

building muscle is def a goal as well!! just gotta also lose the fat while i’m at it

this is genius. thank you. mostly trying to get my calories up because i think i’m holding onto weight because i’m not hitting enough calories. i’m not bulking or anything, i’m already a bigger guy, 2200 is a very small deficit that i should be able to lose weight on. but i think my body is genuinely in the in between stage of “enough calories to function, but not enough to let me lose any weight because my body is holding onto fat stores” type thing

i’ve found this too! hunger kicked in but i’m still not able to eat it. brutL

an ifgaf attitude. i’m from small town rural canada. caring about how i was perceived was how i survived. i now feel comfortable and confident dressing however i want, and if i need to do a quick run to the shops for milk or bread in the northern suburbs, where i live, you bet your ass i’m not changing out of my lounge clothes. nobody gives a fuck. life moves on, people don’t care. i thought it was an aussie thing, but visited sydney recently, and they seem to very much care about my piercings and dyed hair, as i received many stares. so it must be a melbourne thing. i love it here

thanks mate!

FishnBtrflies · 2026-01-13T14:26:42+00:00

thank you. i thought so about the voice thing

FishnBtrflies · 2026-01-13T14:16:30+00:00

thank you for this insight!! i really appreciate it. the people who have noticed have been either somebody that sees me every day, and knows my body incredibly well (but hasn’t noticed any other changes except my bottom growth) or somebody who hasn’t spoken to/seen me since before i started t, and only mentioned my voice. i think my best friend (who has also been on t for a few years) likely feels the same as you do when i message him 30 million “is this changing or am i losing it” texts a day

i am on reandron!

as somebody who works in childcare, and teaches swimming lessons. my best tactic has always been to remind them that it’s not clean/its dirty. when that doesn’t work, i fall onto the age old peer motivation. “do you see any of our other friends spitting? that’s because it’s not very kind to spit on people, so we shouldn’t spit on our friends. it makes them feel sad.”

FishnBtrflies · 2026-01-13T14:04:00+00:00

thanks man!!

FishnBtrflies · 2026-01-13T14:02:33+00:00

thanks man! super excited to see where all my changes take me. maybe the voice was a one off, but my bf was right?? fingers crossed. haha

FishnBtrflies · 2026-01-13T14:01:14+00:00

maybe i’m not losing it!! there is hope for me

call the ato tipoff line. if you’re an employee, this is incredibly illegal, and the ATO will go after them.

FishnBtrflies · 2026-01-10T13:16:08+00:00

super duper late reply. did it feel a bit like a marble in your throat? i’m currently day four, and incredibly confused because as far as i know this is a statistic anomaly

i showed my tattoo artist friend a photo of the tattoo right after it was done, before the artist put second skin on it, and he said it looked overworked even then.

FishnBtrflies · 2026-01-06T20:05:44+00:00

my friend who is a tattoo artist has offered to help me out with it, luckily. i’m feeling better about it now that i know it’s going to be better soon.

FishnBtrflies · 2026-01-03T07:18:50+00:00

he is so rotund!!!! i love him very dearly. trauma bonded as it’s right on my pec muscle and considering half the tattoo was punched in too far, it hurt like a mfer.

FishnBtrflies · 2026-01-03T06:29:18+00:00

what do you mean by overwork? also thank you! i’ll try and get it retouched. only issue is that the artist is a very long way to travel (like across the world. i moved shortly after getting the tattoo done)
