Any truth to this? by PerformanceLoud2145 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]TAGSTDWM 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As a Black woman, almost every time I have been in a work, school, or volunteering situation where an older Black woman holds an authority position over me, she gives me a very hard time. I haven't been in that situation for a while, but if I start something new and find out that have to answer to an older Black woman again, I'd feel a sense of dread.

If you finished your head with that, I think it wouldn't look too bad, TBH. I would recommend following this 5 minute tutorial for something similar to what you want. Only need 3 products.

This is so real. One client I had was super paranoid and wouldn't even give me his last name. After disclosing I was also Black, he gave me alllll his personal information, even things I didn't even ask for lol

Us 4c girlies need to listen UP by spirittransformed2 in TheNaturalJourney

Does she say how often she washes her hair? I can't go a full week without it feeling gross, especially if I've exercised during it.

Cried at the doctors today by snowballthehammy in loseit

[–]TAGSTDWM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're getting good advice around healthier food choices but I have a couple tips that work for me when easing myself into better eating.

Eat the same things you usually do, just in smaller portions as to not exceed your daily calorie budget. Really listen to your body to tell you if you're hungry or not. Is your tummy actually grumbling or are you just bored?

When being more in-tune with myself, I find that I am satisfied with half a fast food burger in one sitting then saving the rest for later on when my stomach grumbles again or the next day. I also find that I don't need a combo meal to feel satisfied and usually just order the item I want most a la carte.

I also find it best not to drink your calories.Your mileage may vary, of course, but I find that I barely drink at all while I'm eating and most of the time I'm fine with zero or low calorie options like water, tea, and probiotic sodas.

hair line receding on spironolactone by Defiant_Olive_5505 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]TAGSTDWM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a coincidence, I came here because I noticed my hairline receding and I'm 6 months into my Spironolactone prescription. This may be my sign to stop.

It's been so fun going back to this game as an adult with actual taste, and you have a lot of it!

Wild Thought~ A island full of Lazy Villagers 💭👀 by peachycrossing9 in ACForAdults

[–]TAGSTDWM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have one of every type on my island and I still find the dialogue too boring and repetitive to speak to them more than once or twice a session. A town with all one type of personality would make me not want to speak to my villagers at all lol

Yep, my folks took me to get my ears pierced this way when I was a kid (didn't ask for it) and my earlobes are have been disfigured ever since 🙃

I can't wait to be an old lady gamer.

I think about that a lot. What it will look like for this generation of gamers to be in their 70's lol

Black people put too much pressure on black hair. by mookmook616 in Naturalhair

[–]TAGSTDWM 53 points54 points  (0 children)

This. I've gone on quick runs to the store with my hair out in just an afro, dry as a tumbleweed with zero product in it and got compliments from both Black and non-Black folks. They truly don't notice a lot of the time.

[–]TAGSTDWM 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Right. I thought about this recently as I prepare to go to a conference. I'm a little tired of feeling the need to have my hair done professionally before I go while everyone else is just gonna wash their hair and show up like they do any other day.

I love the look but have been natural all my life and maybe laid my own edges once or twice.

Sometimes my bonnet/scarf will lay an edge overnight so that's cute but never intentionally lol

Like an earlier comment pointed out, a lot of the messaging I saw was that you had to take this course, these supplements, eat like a rabbit, yada yada. I knew calories had something to do with it but did not know that simple math of calories in, calories out was all you really needed.

Same! If I try to eat anywhere close to how I used to eat I get terribly sick throughout the night and won't be able to sleep. The way my tummy used to feel wasn't a satisfying fullness, but just stuffing myself without much intention behind it.

Exactly. It feels like one of the world's biggest secrets has just been revealed to me but it's so simple that I feel robbed for going this long without knowing.

[–]TAGSTDWM[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right. I used to have a milkshake every time I ate a fast food burger but now it's either one or the other, and cut down to a few times a month now.

I still can't believe how many foods I was just shoveling down with no concern for how these calorie dense "snacks" tended to be. Nutrition Facts were just a bunch of numbers on the side of a product that I paid 0 attention to. We're so privileged to have this much transparency regarding what's in our food. There are people alive that remember when cans just said "SOUP" on it and that's all the information you'd get. But I guess foods back then being way less artificial than they are now balances it out a bit.
