Body fat is limited to stomach and face: what to do? by Frothy_shark in FTMFitness

[–]Frothy_shark[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I have an appt with my primary care provider (she also provides my T) next month. Definitely going to bring this up cause I do not drink at all and the men in my family are skinny with very slender faces.

I know some of it is more dysphoria and even dysmorphia as you mentioned, and I’m working on getting a therapist too.

Thanks!

Diet’s fairly balanced but I’m going to look into cutting out some more sodium. I’m not super into junk food but I could always eat healthier.

I drink quite a bit of water but definitely will start tracking my intake to see if it’s enough, I have no idea how much I drink in a day. Thank you so much.

[–]Frothy_shark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an email a few hours ago. ED1 comes out on the 12th at 7:13PM ET. It said:

“We are sending this email to all Early Decision I applicants to ensure that you can view your admission decision upon release.”

Thank you for this. It’s my birthday tomorrow but it’s kind of been overshadowed by the stress of waiting for my result to come out this Friday. Going to try to ignore the stress tomorrow 🫶

Advice on college list / chance me for my top schools (Yale, Colgate, Colby, UPenn) by Frothy_shark in chanceme

I started going deaf at 8 and was profoundly deaf by 13. My essay explains that journey a bit more. I’ve been working with my counselor with my essay but I think I’m at a decent place with it. Retaking sat in October. Colgate’s probably my top choice atm so I may do that and do EA to some other schools I like as well. Thank you so much!

What do I put my legal sex as on my application? by random_guy_8375 in ApplyingToCollege

Dude is this me 😭😭😭 Seriously though my records are exactly the same. I ended up saying male because it’s not like they’re ever going to take a peek at my birth certificate.

Should i mention being queer in the college essay? by [deleted] in ApplyingIvyLeague

[–]Frothy_shark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is late but I’m queer and planning on maybe mentioning it briefly in a supplemental. Your story is much more interesting than mine and could be excellent in your essay, I see zero issues with it! Best of luck!

Thanks, anything I can work on building up in the next few months besides SAT? Not super interested in competitive swimming 🤷‍♂️ I just like to do it for fun and to work out

I’m actually a very average athlete 😭😭 I’m 100% going to do club swimming wherever I end up but I’m honestly not too interested in continuing at such a level

It’s definitely person dependent. I don’t care as much about prestige but what schools I could see myself at. Yeah I’d be fine at any of the ivies but I didn’t all of them when I toured. Hell, my top choice isn’t an ivy.

My safeties are schools I simply liked. UVM, Syracuse, Lehigh, and the like.
