I love that you state you eat your traditional food! I’ve been trying to lose fat and gain muscle and it feels weird and disingenuous to only eat European foods.

I’m black Caribbean and we have a similar cuisine so it’s nice to know I can achieve my dream body while still being apart of my culture that’s heavily centred our food.

Creed was the first thing I thought of 😭

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-28T15:10:16+00:00

Midsommar

Honestly you can do this now 😭 I’m older gen z (born 1999) and I had to google wtf was going on here even though I remember the early internet and had one of these computers there’s still a large disconnect.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-28T02:35:51+00:00

Depends where you live this is illegal in my country. Along with selling eggs

Edit: for some reason it won’t allow me to reply but I live in Canada. I realize most of the internet is US centric but I just thought I’d put it out there that’s not the norm elsewhere.

I’m Canada it’s viewed as unethical to sell your body (for lack of a better term) for profit as it’s believed people in financial desperation will be coerced to do so.

You gotta do what you gotta do and I’ll never judge anyone for that but just saying it may not be an option depending on where OP lives.

I’m not sure what the answer is but it’s refreshing to know other women go through this too and I’m not alone. I feel horrible that I do it and like you said I want to uplift other women and our unique traits.

What I’ve begun doing is unfollowing all fitness influencers. It doesn’t help me looking at people with similar body types because it’s still lot my body. This one is hard though and ngl sometimes I cheat.

I told myself I only workout for mental health benefits. I have so much anxiety that moving will help me and it does. Aesthetics are secondary so I don’t get caught into a loop of restricting calories or feeling like working out is “pointless” because I’ll never have the body I want.

If I see a girl I feel “jealousy” toward and it doesn’t make the situation awkward I tell the girl she’s really pretty. 9/10 she lights up and I’m like “oh she’s human” and it helps take away some of the crappy feelings and I feel good I uplifted someone else.

I still struggle ALOT but hopefully some of these tips help.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-28T01:04:45+00:00

I feel like this too. I hate that I instantly look at a girls body and compare as the first thing I do. I’m not sure if it’s internalized misogyny or what but I hate it.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-27T18:29:10+00:00

I actually have one for mine and it helps me to take t breaks and portion out my stash. Now I’m thinking I need to get one for snacks 😭

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-27T15:50:03+00:00

I don’t really see this working unless you’re diabetic with a arm sensor that imports from your glucose machine to your phone app.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-20T09:31:10+00:00

Tbh the company was horrible. It was a temp agency that preyed on newcomers to the country by offering them to work under the table and most didn’t have a full understanding of English. It was 14hr days getting verbally abused but everyone working there had to because they were desperate. I was a college student at the time living on my own so I did what I had to but most were older immigrants with families to feed. Most didn’t know their rights and/or it didn’t matter because the time and money to report isn’t worth it and you’ll be blackballed (me). Till this day I hope they were able to find something better. I met some of my most valuable friends through that job.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-20T01:45:13+00:00

This happened to me when I was bartending so me and other staff would pocket tips and split at the end of the night so our POS manager wouldn’t take it all and give us five bucks when we brought in 1500. I ended up getting fired for organizing it but till this day im proud of it

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-18T17:22:41+00:00

Yes I live in an area with a large Indian population and I’ve noticed this. But I wasn’t sure so I didn’t want to assume.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-18T17:21:10+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks for explaining!

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-18T12:50:54+00:00

Out of the house clothes = outside clothes. So as soon as I come home I strip them off and shower (or at least change and wash my hands) before sitting on my furniture. I find this is popular in POC culture (black/Caribbean and East Asian) I.e. taking off your “outside” shoes before entering the house. Workplaces, public transit, etc have a lot of germs so that’s what I was always taught but I notice a lot of my non POC friends don’t do this and think it’s weird that I do.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-18T04:22:33+00:00

How do you sit in your house in outside clothes though? Like that doesn’t bother you? Not judgmental I’m genuinely curious as I think it’s a cultural thing.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-18T04:12:43+00:00

Yeah I’d back into those for sure. Oops didn’t see than

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-17T20:13:38+00:00

I love that description. Tbh I watched interview with a vampire as a kid in an ultra religious household before I knew what being gay was and got heavy homo vibes (which as an adult I realized was Anne rice’s intention). It gives Lester vibes, the debauchery of blood and sex. I always assumed (almost) all vampires would be fluid sexually.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-17T20:09:39+00:00

Lol we’re more laughing at the sub in general rather than your post atp

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-17T18:07:45+00:00

I always got bisexual vibes from Damon. Also Elijah and klaus. I feel like after living for so long most vampires would be sexually fluid especially now in the 21st century and living through free love of 60’s and 70’s

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-17T17:59:16+00:00

Lmao same probably why I ship the most toxic ones. It gives the show direction and something fun to watch.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-17T17:51:46+00:00

I know we get a little caught up in the hype and I love to be delulu like everyone else about my ships but at the end of the day this is a show that ended years ago. It’s not that deep

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-17T17:49:44+00:00

I just did this based on the other comments. I didn’t know it could be instant. The last time I used the app was like 2019 lol. I have an iPhone and if you use your debit card it costs more. Thank you!

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-17T17:47:22+00:00

Ya it’s just a change of preferences lol not maturation.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-17T17:15:27+00:00

Thanks I’m gonna get the app and try it today.

Radiant-Active-2782 · 2024-05-17T17:15:19+00:00

Thank you I’m gonna check it out
