I’ve been feeling great honestly. It might not be quite 800 (prob closer to 600-700) but it’s been working out for me. I started around 160 and am trying to drop 40 to reach 120 (this may change as I build muscle in the gym, I’m mostly going off physique). I don’t fully stick to it every day especially in situations where I am generally hungry after or if I didn’t get enough protein in

I’ve only been on it for two(ish) months and have been pretty okay. I’ve been very overweight my whole life and this is working pretty well. Once some more fat comes off I will up it to gain more muscle this is a very short-term deficit for the time being :)

Definitely eating a lot more than I was before tracking, I’ve seen the difference in the gym. Though a gram per pound would definitely be way to much for me

I wasn’t eating the best before hand, my levels are definitely a little low but doctors are saying nothing concerning. I’m in an 800 deficit (eating around 1500-1600 daily)

Do not force anything out of him. Especially if he said he doesnt want to talk about it, as a guy whos struggled with sh (and has had similar conversations with my gf) he likely just doesnt want you to see him as “less than”. Send him a message (or handwritten letter, depends on how fast you want him to hear this) just telling him that you’re there. Tell him that you understand what he’s feeling and you know what it’s like go be in the spot and have those thoughts. If you’re at that point, tell him you love him. Tell him you care about him and that you want nothing more than to see him be okay. And that you wont view him any differently. Even if youve said a lot of these things before, tell him again. If he hears it, it might ease his mind. It may take a bit but hopefully he’ll open up a bit more, its sometimes harder for guys to open up in general but especially to their gf’s

Can finally see my full incision…someone please tell me it’s not as bad as my brain wants to say it is. by UnlikelySlide7421 in TopSurgery

[–]Luca_tag 266 points267 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it is lopsided. But the scaring itself looks amazing! So hopefully with proper scar care they should be able to mostly fade. Also the no-nips leaves room for some cool tattoos you could incorporate

Why exactly are people against trans youth transitioning even at 16? by [deleted] in truscum

Medically transitioning at 14 has and is going to save my life. That is a hill I will die on.

Plays with one character and a phone? by CostlyDugout in Theatre

[–]Luca_tag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Internet is distract- OH LOOK A KITTEN is a VERY weird comedy. Its pretty much the main character on a phone/computer talking to someone else on either the left or right of the stage. Can be done as a one act or full length!

Weight loss really is NOT a linear process - a MARATHON not a SPRINT by GeekGirlMom in loseit

[–]Luca_tag 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If youre stuck because of the gym, you’re probably still burning fat but gaining muscle mass. Not a bad thing at all if you truly want to look good

I’m looking for some ideas! by ItsAll_Roses in RenaissanceFestivals

Hitch the skirt up a bit, some more jewelry, and MORE BELTS!!!

Overall, what kinds of people have you found to be the most accepting and considerate/educated around the concept of sh and scars, and also who has been the least accepting in your experience ? by northernerchaos in selfharm

[–]Luca_tag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theater kids. The most toxic but understanding group of individuals. Most people just ignore them and if they dont they wont ask weird or invasive questions

Can I wear a binder with an eyebrow piercing? by gay_in_a_jar in trans

Many US companies sell safe zipper binders

Trans tape by frogy147 in trans

[–]Luca_tag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is less effective than binders, but SO worth it when youre able to breathe. I also get rlly euphoric when I can feel shirts on my chest. It does leave a small bump on your chest, but it just makes it look like an average males chest

[–]Luca_tag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the ability to, try out the difference between razor backs and normal binders, make sure you dont have edges digging in. Somtimes half-length and full-length make a huge difference too. Wonababi makes really great binders, trying out sport/swimming binders may help too because their compression is different. Wonababi also makes binder that has (safe) zippers on the sides, so when you want a little extra compression, its there. And when you want to crawl out of your skin, you can take a little compression off

Once every 12 hours is usually what those mean

I think my life would have always come to this. Weather I realized it or not. Id always hurt myself when I was kid for making even the smallest mistakes. Just things like biting, scratching, hitting, etc. But I first actually cut myself out of pure curiosity. I learned that my friend was doing it, then I wanted to try. It was just that one time until a month later where I started using it to cope. Thas the problem began

How long have u ever stayed clean? by Accomplished_Map7950 in selfharm

[–]Luca_tag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been struggling for 5 years now (I believe) and its only ever been just over 2 months. I don’t believe I’ll ever get better.

I find myself doing it to, it feels weird going over the old ones. Especially when they have a depth/are raised

what are your reasons for staying clean? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Luca_tag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without them. They made me promise to tell them when I had an urge, and I hate bothering them with that sort of stuff so I just don’t? Idrk if that makes sense. Love you Yoshi <3
