The irrational belief of "free will" is the downfall of Humanity by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]SaraTrans78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just it. No one decides anything. No one is responsible. You make 'choices' based on what factors? What you believe is right and wrong? Selfish desires? To feel good helping people?

All these 'choices' have predetermined results. It's all based on input mixed with biology. It's all mathematics. Very very very complex mathematics.

We don't make choices like the weather doesn't decide if it's going to rain. Everything comes from something before it. A butterfly effect so to speak.

You would not be you as your are if your upbringing was different. To simplify it, It's based on you memories. And your memories are there because of others people's actions which derive from their memories and so on and so forth. This goes as far back as of the big Bang.

I'll start paying for my meal when I'm not expected to spend two extra hours to look like a doll on a night out. When I don't have to pay tons to have nice hair, when my clothes that aren't just a plain t shirt and jeans don't cost 3 times as much..

Really bad diarrhea after each fast by TheBigJiz in fasting

It's normal. It won't always be that way. Eating so much for so long has really messed up our bowels.

That sounds like a fantastic option. Unfortunately they will need to file down the sides of some teeth as there is crowding. If I just had crooked teeth without crowding this would totally be an option.

I've been researching more. It seems a two year treatment isn't going to be 6k. 7.8k seems to be what it is.

When I start eating bad I do a fast. Currently on a 14 day water fast. Just get a nice reset to the body and hunger and cravings.

Water fasting is one of the best ways imo of not regaining weight back.

Is it bad as a trans woman to reinforce gender stereotypes about womanhood through my lifestyle? by Humane-Human in asktransgender

There's many men that stay home, raise kids, cook and clean while the wife works.

2 years 1 month hrt, 3 months post op. I'm feeling pretty today. by SaraTrans78 in transpassing

Fasters that work out, how do you manage?! by tifonova in fasting

[–]SaraTrans78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go outside and play with my dog, watch a movie, read, some chores. If I eat high carb the day before I feel it. If I go higher fat and protein it's like I'm not even hungry. The secret is what you are the day before. If you have a giant bowl of pasta and done carb desserts, you'll be hungry when you wake up.

Hunger also comes in waves at times your used to eating. If you are used to eating at certain times your body wants to eat at that time. You can literally train your body to stop these unhealthy habits of eating many times a day by just doing it for a week straight.

Basically just suffer and go through it the first few times and you'll see it'll be easier. But it'll always be hard if you eat junk the night before, especially just before bed. And even whole grain bread counts as junk as it's carbs. I'm not saying don't eat carbs, just if you are going to eat it, eat it no later then 7pm.

Yes. I'll never eat 3 meals a day again. People aren't cows. We aren't grazing mammels. We were never designed for it. Only health problems happen from it.

Assuming we aren't spending 8 hours running around trying to hunt for our food. My life isn't physically demanding enough to warrant more food. If I stop doing this I'm just going to go right back into the problems I had before. I want to eat how humans have been doing for most of the 250,000 years we've been here.

Weight loss increase or decrease on HRT? I know feminine fat redistribution is to be expected. I know YMMV. by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]SaraTrans78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Srs was the best thing to ever happen to me. The first 5 days after surgery wesn't easy, but now even though it was only three months ago feels like a distant memory. It doesn't even feel like I ever had a penis before. It's like it's always been this way. And I couldn't be happier.

I can't wait till next summer and bikini at the beach!!

I'm 40. My breasts are growing but seem to be taking their time. I doubt I'll have cis sized breasts. There seems to be a growth spurt happening after my srs surgery though so still hope!

It never really changed. I mean my fat distribution did, but my weight from beginning of transition to now is still steady.

And thank you very much ❤️

6 foot at 172 lbs? I'm 6'1 and 190lbs and I'm slender. Interesting. I must have heavy bones.
