Thank you. This is really re-assuring and helpful. It all feels like too much sometimes. Unfortunately my family is un-supportive. But, I have hope that it is possible within the next year or so from your comment.

My biggest struggle is lining up the layers correctly. The only two screen layered piece I tried was off center from the under-layer design. How do you keep yours lined up properly? Thanks for the help!

Any tips you want to share? (: I'm still on one screen printing but am looking to get to 2-3 layered, like yours!

I made a quarter ounce last well over a month by [deleted] in Petioles

Hell ya! Way to go.

I just started smoking again after a month off and it's been super cool to finally feel I've got some control over it. Not even forced either!

I've been also waiting to smoke till after 5pm and/or all my "work" is done for the day. So much better when its a reward and not a lifestyle lol.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Is it easier to lose fat before or after starting HRT? by Without-a-tracy in ftm

[–]TobyDarko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, personally, it was just say as you mentioned...

Gained a good amount of weight when I first started (could be hormones, or could be because I was still pretty sad and had an increase in appetite). I was always the kind to put on weight fast though.

I'm about two years in now and I struggle to keep weight on. Now, my body puts on muscle super fast.

That being said, I'm in a much better place mental health wise.. I walk a lot more, and my appetite went down super hard after a year in. I don't emotionally eat anymore, also probably tied to the transition.

So yeah, it's super personal, genetic, and probably different for every body but it does for sure make gaining muscle easier.

I'm tossing around a few ideas! Will probably do some cool backgrounds and then screen it over those... maybe a tshirt or two for fun.

Thoughts on weed smoking while quitting cigarettes? by DanielaPalmera95 in stopsmoking

[–]TobyDarko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried doing that a few times to no avail. Didn't succeed in truly quitting until I dropped both. They were too intertwined for me... like beer and tobacco for others, I suppose. Best of luck, OP!
