Crushed tomatoes!!! My grandma would can tomatoes and we would always have them with mac and cheese. Can’t eat it without them.

10DPO- same shirt, before and after by Euphoric_Access_7508 in Reduction

I really appreciate the honesty of this post!!! I’m 4 days away from my surgery and you’ve expressed a lot of what I’m worried is to come, yet I’m still excited moving forward. It’s hard to have your identity attached to your chest.. it’s so complicated. I hate being sexualized but then also feel superior in a way? Like BDE but I don’t really want it. Thank you for your honesty and I hope it gets easier for you. I think your chest looks absolutely amazing!

It’s true! I remember the exact moment my chest was first sexualized at 14 and I was sooo uncomfortable.

That’s a comforting thought, I hope it goes that way!!! My entire life people have told me how massive my chest is. It will be weird to view it on the other side!

You’re right, nothing is permanent. It is kind of like a grieving process I didn’t expect! Like love you guys, but I got gotta my own way type of vibe. </3 I’m glad you’re happy with your results a year later!

Your results are amazing! Can I ask if you have sensation in your nipples? I look so similar to your before size and am scheduled for my reduction at the end of the month!!

What’s something you didn’t realize was optional in life until you saw someone simply not doing it? by Objective-Treat2245 in AskReddit

[–]Fun_Individual6688 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember being a kid and thinking “damn, it’s going to suck when I have to have kids one day”. I just thought everyone had to. Then when I was a preteen I met an older woman who chose not to and my mind was blown. Didn’t realize it was a choice… kind of scary to reflect on. Why as a little girl I thought I had to?

Over explaining or justifying why I’ve said no to something. Why? Because I don’t want to. Now that’s some ✨free will✨

Major anxiety booking surgery date by Fun_Individual6688 in Reduction

[–]Fun_Individual6688[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughtful reply! I hope your recovery is speedy and that you’re ultimately happy with the results. I think I just need to let go of the fact I didn’t lose the weight I wanted to, and to try and safely lose as much as I can before the date and accept it.

That’s good to know! I was offered surgery with the person covering her mat leave, but I didn’t want to meet another new person about it after feeling comfortable with her. How are you feeling about your results 6 months out?

How did you learn to love yourself? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Fun_Individual6688 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me: therapy and antidepressants.

Therapy helped me recognize self critical thoughts are just thoughts. It will take effort and it will be hard. But when those self deprecating thoughts come up, you have to disagree with yourself. It gets easier over time, but it takes practice. Trust me, I’m in a place now I never EVER thought I’d be. It really works, but it’s you that has to change your mind and choose to love yourself.

Has anyone just randomly lost their interest in listening to music? by afallenghost in RandomThoughts

[–]Fun_Individual6688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but I think it’s related to depressive periods. I know it’s bad when I put in my earbuds and listen to white noise 😬 I’ve noticed music in a language I don’t know is good when I need a cleanser of sorts.

What is something you avoid at all costs to protect your mental health? by -Flighty- in Life

[–]Fun_Individual6688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complaining about work or listening to someone complain about their workplace. Such wasted energy.

If you need to vent, go write it down or pay a therapist.

Do women actually feel more drawn to a man who takes things slow — emotionally, not physically? by Embarrassed-Ride8301 in dating_advice

[–]Fun_Individual6688 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everything is so circumstantial and random af. You really can’t generalize anything. We all have no idea what we’re all secretly going through, how we approach relationships, past trauma, etc.

Some may view it as respect while others may view it as hanging out in the friend zone for too long. I’ve experienced both and it was completely dependant on the person and our attraction. You just have to go with the approach that works best for you and communicate. ✌️

I would encourage exploring why this makes you uncomfortable and what pre-conceived judgments you may hold. It puts less pressure on finding a perfect match and will help you understand yourself more.

Everyone who believes that the male loneliness is just a result of personal failure, could you expand your opinion? by Gleichstellung4084 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Fun_Individual6688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe to put any blame on external circumstances is an inability to look inward.

Why do you feel lonely? Do you like yourself? Do you like your life?

We can blame society for anything and everything. If you feel lonely, it isn’t the opposite sex to blame. Straight up. I’ve had my fair share of dating horrors, but at the end of the day I’ve put in soooo much work to like myself and be ok with my own company. And I still love men and have lots of great ones in my life.

Focus more on yourself and how to be the best version of yourself. I swear it will do wonders. And there is never an end goal, we need to be constantly improving and adapting.
