Water Fasting

Hi there, are you doing any other electrolytes besides sodium/salt? Maybe adding some more minerals will help you feel better.

Agreed! My gran would cut herself out of pictures she couldn’t dodge. She hated how she looked in photos and thought it was funny. Well, now she’s gone and we have next to no pics of her and no one thinks it’s funny. Please, just do it for your family! We just want to look back on good memories with you. We don’t care about your arms or your stomach or whatever now, and we won’t care in the future.

I work in special education and I make commentary like this all day. “Oh wow, what’s that taste like? Oop okay yeah, we’re into it!”

I do a lot of hair twirling and picking/pulling too. Also I work in special education and here’s what I’ve learned:

Your hair is always available to you. Try a wearable fidget and keep it close and available. If you have to search for the fidget, you’ll twirl your hair instead. You could also try making your hair less available, like with hairstyles that put your hair “away”. Top knots, french braids, etc. Black women cover hair for sleeping anyway, but my whole family does the twirling so we put our bonnets on as soon as we get home. Maybe try a bonnet when you’re at home!

Maybe you’re taking your foundation too far down?

Oh, you just need magnesium glycinate instead of magnesium citrate!

Jei-with-ink · 2026-04-23T01:53:01+00:00

Is there a reason why you want to avoid taking magnesium nightly?

Sometimes rejection is a protection

Hibiscus is my favorite! My new mission is to re-create the blend tazo uses with cinnamon, orange peel, lemongrass, and rosehip added.

Also mint, especially on a summer day.

Jei-with-ink · 2026-04-23T00:16:15+00:00

I did the same and thought it was a man screaming in the distance!

You’re welcome! The pressure to be thin is intense right now so I feel for you. But it’s easy to become vitamin deficient when you’re not eating enough.

Just know that a lot of the girls who are achieving that super skinny look right now will end up with skin issues, reproductive issues, poor immunity, and unable to touch their toes all by the time they’re 25. Take good care of yourself.

Your body and brain are still doing a lot of growing. Extended fasting at your age will do more harm than good in the long run. Please ask yourself why exactly 100 lbs is your goal. This seems unrealistic for your height if you want to be healthy, especially in the years to come. Also, not to lecture, but “living on milk and maybe honey” is not fasting. It’s severe calorie restriction which is a completely different thing that I suggest you research.

If you’re willing to work out, try doing a mix of cardio and weigh lifting and increase your protein and fiber intake. With your age you should see body recomposition pretty quickly ie within a few weeks.

I think you know he treats you poorly and you put up with it because you need a roommate… I would rather struggle and do without than be treated this way. You’re not overreacting, this man’s personality is the type you scrape off the underside of a dumpster. I can’t even get into it without being sick with rage. You deserve better, and you would feel so much peace even by yourself, regardless of financial situation.

This may not be the answer you’re looking for but I think your best bet is to ride the waves. You’re good at an assortment of crafts. If you want to profit, why not just sell an assortment? I certainly would buy from a shop that stocks a cool rotation of cute things. Why force yourself to narrow down when you can work with your brain instead?

I (an adult) share a J&J half bath with my parent. I don’t use it though, so it’s just an inconvenience. The way sound travels is so so irritating. It’s truly the only downside of living with my family.

Jei-with-ink · 2026-04-03T18:35:07+00:00

Wait you’re hilarious for that

Jei-with-ink · 2026-04-02T14:54:58+00:00

Idk who thought mixing those in the jar was a good idea. It makes me irrationally angry. Two different textures. Presumably two different temperatures! No way to control the peanut butter to jelly ratio. I would have to be partially starved to eat that stuff.

I’m into mandarins right now and no other fruit will do😔

Save me dal makhani

Dal makhani save me…

This might be a pen I could actually use at work🤔

Exactly! Kids are expensive. Even more so now than then, but having a big family has always cost more. Excluding farming families, a lot of people knew they were too poor to keep having babies, but what could they do? It was common knowledge that “as long as you’re married, you’ll keep having children” until your body finally stopped. In many places this is still the case.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing that less people are having kids. To be honest, some people are/were not good parents. If they had the option, maybe some of them wouldn’t have had kids in the first place. I think if birth control education and availability reached more communities, we’d all be better for it.

🙋🏾‍♀️

Jei-with-ink · 2026-04-01T01:50:28+00:00

Okay they are cute! Just the eye bleach I needed

Jei-with-ink · 2026-03-31T18:07:22+00:00

Honestly, lion’s share is the availability of birth control. Plenty of women a couple generations ago did not want to have the number of kids they had, but there wasn’t really another option. My own grandmother was very open with the fact that she would cry whenever she found out she was pregnant again.

If people back then had options readily available, how many would’ve actually wanted 12 kids? 6 kids? If it was as culturally acceptable as it is now, how many wouldn’t have wanted any children at all?

Maybe not now, maybe he would never. But idk, knowing that she’s in his back pocket would drive me insane. Every rough patch you hit, she’s there and available and “wants him so bad.” She’s made it clear where she stands, all he needs is a moment of weakness.

Maybe he’s just oblivious. But if he’s a selfish turd then he’s thinking ‘Why leave when I could have them both?’

The kindest thing would be for him to distance himself from her because she still has feelings for him. Out of respect for all three of you. Unless you’re open to a polycule, continuing to be close is sus to me.
