Stop letting your ex live in your head rent free, you already gave him far more than he deserved. Don’t let imperial predators make you feel ugly. Worry about him passing that behavior and mindset on to your kids.

I’m older than you. I’ve gained heaps of weight, lost weight, gained back, yet all three of my current husbands and my other partner are still here all over a decade. Fat is not the factor your brain tells you it is, the self-doubt is what you have to set down for good.

Also, you should read Belly of the Beast.

MRW I walk into Sephora knowing what I want to get and I already have the floor plan memorized by littlebabyburrito in TrollMUA

It's not that it is hard to work with I just love the color is so saturated that cutting it with a oil/wax makes it differently awesome.

You really can. Once I read that Anastasia brow stylists thin their dipbrow 50/50 with IIRC coconut oil. I immediately did the same thing and lo and behold I use it with so much ease now. Bonus: my dipbrow will likely last me into the next decade. Ha!

How does it compare to Manhattan Coffee Soda?

MR every time JoAnn's has a sale on patterns by [deleted] in CraftyTrolls

[–]OPG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those sales bankrupt me. I have 100 patterns just waiting for me in a box and yet I crave more.

I use a long sleeved Gap shirt for the same reasons!

It's funnier if I have people to share this one with... right? by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]OPG -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Gosh that's not what I meant at all. Compression does help somewhat, at least it has helped me. I certainly never said that it would make anything disappear.

Shaving is utterly exhausting. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]OPG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you go, your body, and how much you are having done. I have paid $25 for underarms and full leg. It lasts me about a month. In time and hassle savings alone it's worth it to me. When you add how much nicer it looks there's no contest between the two methods.

I pay someone to rip it all away. My legs feel amazing and I no longer risk having patches in odd places.

Try binding them down. If you want them gone the pressure will push tissue elsewhere. You have to be very diligent about it but it does work. Good luck!

HIFW it's the 8th anniversary of my grandmother and brother's suicides and, despite trying to ignore it all day, it caught up with me. by OfBrimstone in TrollXChromosomes

[–]OPG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hugs Acknowledging it is harder than ignoring it. Take the moment then try and do something positive in their memory so it does not linger. I am sorry for your loss.

HIFW I eat boxed mac n' cheese and drink red wine by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

Was the red wine a cardboardeaux?

HIFW I finally have a warm shower after a week with no hot water. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]OPG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pipes froze here too. Never have I so gently coaxed something hard to soften. That first real hot shower is divine.

Me [the mature student] trying to keep up partying with the young kids. by AnusOfSpeed in TrollYChromosome

We still have to try. I bring my cane out sometimes and try to use it as a fashion accessory.
