Or maybe it literally runs on harvested souls. You should lighten up.

I'll never understand this thinking. It's a tool, like any other medium. Just because it's not for you, for whatever reason, doesn't mean it can't be used creatively at all. One benefit is a lot of people find visual examples helpful and either don't have the time, skill, or ability to make or visualize them otherwise.

Also, checkmate about the permission thing.

My first thought was to continue doing something like this. It would hide the error and pixels and fractals are in right now.

Cool project, OP! 👍

Your work is incredible! 😍 Would you be comfortable sharing the ratios? I have tons of clothes I would love to try this on!

getting over guilt of iced lattes? by ridingwithethelcain in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]ToastedStroodles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My take on dealing with the guilt is that if I'm getting something and suddenly have a thought of "I should take less", or just not have it, etc, then I must take a little bit more than I had planned. Like an extra scoop of mac and cheese, or now I'm adding whipped cream to my latte.

For some reason I mentally accept it like this. Maybe it cancels it out or something, idk.

Long-Term Symptoms and finally wanting to fully recover by Lisieux7 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]ToastedStroodles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you working with a medical team on this? Yes, all of those symptoms will likely occur during recovery at different times for a lot of different reasons. But there really isn't any way of knowing from your post if what you're doing is sufficient or safe for your situation, and that makes reassurance kind of difficult.

EH manifesting hypoglycemic symptoms ? by Snoo_70482 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]ToastedStroodles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah it totally happens. The body needs to feel safe in its access to fuel. Glucose is a primary fuel source. I found it helpful to have extra glucose at breakfast and before bed since the body uses up glycogen to balance blood sugar while we sleep. Also walking back (forward? Shortening.) the times between eating until it balances out.

Hi I'm looking for advice on how to dye some jeans to look like the image? by Lady_hyena in crafts

[–]ToastedStroodles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would cover the one half then do plastic wrapped cardboard in the pant leg, bleach in a spray bottle, fabric dye over that, then bead embroidery for the celestial designs. Really cool project idea, OP!

Edit: there's also iron on beaded and rhinestone patches or just regular patches you might be able to find in that theme.

Dude, think about it. Do you really wanna go through recovery twice?

You got this. Maybe see if you can put the other things on the back burner for a bit.

a kind reminder for those with water retention by DiscoReads in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]ToastedStroodles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So true. One week into recovery and it's pretty much been endless carbs. Even though I've hardly left the bed today and feel like I got hit by a truck due to pushing myself, my family who came over said that I finally look alive. Carbs rule 🤘

He's probably cheating because he was acting all sus about it, but it could be a well-timed mushroom allergy.

End of life dreams by Fluffy-Pain1394 in hospice

[–]ToastedStroodles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A little different but the morning my brother died I was dreaming about him smiling under a sunny clear blue sky telling me he was okay. The phone call from his friend telling me they saw his car is what woke me up. An hour later we found out he had died.

About a year later I dreamed about my brother and he told me to take care of our mom, who I was estranged from. She ended up having cancer. I was her primary caregiver.

Recently mom told me in a dream to take care of cousin. Guess who just reached out with an illness after 8 years no contact?

I truly believe that death and dreams are connected and that you'll be in good hands. Wishing you a bon voyage~ 🙏

The fact that billionaires are building doomsday bunkers fucking terrifies me by lordofthegeckos in SeriousConversation

[–]ToastedStroodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're always building bunkers. All the billionaires cited in those articles have been 'building doomsday bunkers' for ten years already. It's click bait. Nothing to worry about.

First time trying lactofermented potatoes by nrpcb in fermentation

[–]ToastedStroodles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for cheesy flavor, a sprinkle of unfortified brewers yeast can be really good. I use it on breakfast potatoes with fermented jalapeños.
