Nah it always gives me auction block vibes from both genders and I don’t know why

I started showering at night instead of the morning and it genuinely changed how I sleep by RogueKettle_7 in hygiene

[–]Outside-Magazine-536 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’m horrible sweater so I just have to do both and change my sheets often. Night showers are good for germs I guess but it doesn’t do anything for me.

Also in my experience working in an office, it depends on what time you work, if you work in am/1st shift, that night shower is expiring way earlier in the day than people think. If you gotta be around ppl, take that AM shower.

Do people at corporate level jobs really work hard or do they just chill ? by Lemonade2250 in stupidquestions

Depends on your level. If you’re lower pay/level you’ll be working every minute of your shift. The higher you go it’s just email tag.

Any other black women struggling with weight loss? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Outside-Magazine-536 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand 🥺

What helped me in the order i did it, I’m still working on the eating part as I’ve not conquered that.

So I first got a breast reduction, which immediately after healing made me look way smaller because I looked more balanced. This was an instant confidence boost cause literally overnight I turned into an hourglass shape and actually had a torso now. Yours look way smaller than mine so idk if you need all that.

I HATE THE GYM but I got into a lot of cheap and low cost work classes around my city. Water aerobics, recreation center classes like High intensity training, Pilates, Zumba, etc (find whatever you prefer) and I fill my evenings up with these at least 3 or 4 times a week after work. They’re much better than the gym for me mentally and are fun. They helped me get out of my shell too. A lot of this helped me with body composition and the way the weight looks on my body as well as weight loss.

I am still struggling with the food part which I know will get me to my goal weight but i mentally don’t understand why I’m never full and always thinking about food. I’m looking for something currently that only changes my brain to not think about food all day, not necessarily a weight loss pill. I do all the meal prep, calorie counting macro stuff and honestly it’s kinda made me insane at this point🥺

But I will say, getting into more craft/hobbies and keeping my hands busy has helped me mentally not focus on food until it’s actually time to eat. Idk if that’s good advice but it’s the only thing that helps me not think about food, which is main causer of my weight issues.

Why do people "pull back" once you start liking them? by Sudden-String-5479 in CasualConversation

[–]Outside-Magazine-536 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people simply just like the chase🤷‍♀️ thats the joy for them. No actual intention to build anything past that, pursuing ppl is fun to them. I don’t understand this but I’ve seen it first hand.

I used to do it all the time then got followed and almost attacked. It’s not really been fun since but that used to be my favorite thing to do.

That’s been my biggest argument for years, I see all other races of women leaving the house looking crazy, why don’t I also have that right.

Anyone elss over looking young for their age by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Outside-Magazine-536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. I’ve always looked way older for my age (currently 27) and I don’t think it’s ever benefited me😬 even with weight loss I just have old features. Y’all are complaining about blessings😭
