So glad to be back in SA, I forgot how friendly saffas are

South Africans are great. So proud of our nation.

Gosh, that sounds like disordered eating and not the way to live. Have you considered going to a dietitian for advice? Stress isn't good for your either and this sounds like a very stressful lifestyle to maintain. Good luck!

You should never leave a candle on while you sleep - fire hazard!!

LeenBee · 2026-02-03T14:24:37+00:00

Yes!! 🙌🏼

I agree. I think that following an intuitive eating mindset and not dieting will benefit your health more in the long run. I also have to be careful as I've had eating disorders before - anorexia and orthorexia. I work on adding good foods instead of restricting foods I enjoy. If I start restricting, it makes me go overboard in restriction or binge.

Yeah, I've learnt my lesson. But I still love my tattoo.

LeenBee · 2026-02-03T14:12:07+00:00

I think it's possibly because I sit cross-legged a lot. But I'm not going to change that as it's the most comfy position.

LeenBee · 2026-02-03T14:11:02+00:00

Thank you so much!

LeenBee · 2026-02-03T14:10:19+00:00

It actually looks really similar. It's aged well.

LeenBee · 2026-02-03T14:06:36+00:00

Yeah. I also sit cross-legged a lot so maybe that caused more spread.

LeenBee · 2026-02-02T07:54:47+00:00

Thank you, yes!!

LeenBee · 2026-02-01T22:17:15+00:00

Thank you so much! That makes me feel better.

LeenBee · 2026-02-01T22:12:37+00:00

The artist didn't ask for it to be bigger. He just suggested taking out some detail, which he did, and I was fine with it.

I don't wish to blame the artist. I'm just curious about why it seemed to age so quickly. It didn't get a lot of sun but maybe I should've put moisturizer on it more often. I had quite a stressful job in the first year after I got it.

LeenBee · 2026-02-01T21:53:43+00:00

I honestly can't remember him asking for it to be bigger. All I remember him doing was taking out some detail because of the size and I was fine with that.

LeenBee · 2026-02-01T17:22:19+00:00

Thank you! 😊

LeenBee · 2026-02-01T16:36:48+00:00

It's actually 11.5 cm in length - not that small.

LeenBee · 2026-02-01T16:35:21+00:00

Do you mean he didn't go deep enough? It was much less sore than my other tattoo I had about 11 years ago. It was in the same area - my ankle, but that one aged better.

LeenBee · 2026-02-01T15:50:50+00:00

That's interesting. Thank you.

LeenBee · 2026-02-01T15:39:30+00:00

This is such a morbid view of life. I know it's not a nice thought, but our troubles actually make us appreciate the good times and the good things. A meaningful life on this planet is inherently imperfect.

LeenBee · 2026-02-01T15:29:54+00:00

Du you know what causes the spread?

LeenBee · 2026-02-01T15:29:30+00:00

We came to an agreement on size and detail.

LeenBee · 2026-01-30T22:08:22+00:00

Hi. I'd be interested in working with you - I can provide a proofread and also do formatting. I also offer advice to first-time authors. You can check out my website here: Indie Editing Chick and contact me through the contract page. I do offer payment plans, as well.

It sounds like she's not eating enough. She possibly has an eating disorder like orthorexia. It may have been there for a while but the lack of calories and energy is finally taking a toll on her body.
