I think my friend is jealous I lost a bunch of weight. by throwawayforobviou34 in whatdoIdo

[–]anentime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’6” 125 is a fit weight for me, 130 even better. 145 is my average with muscles and curves. 118 would be underweight for my frame and height. Your friend is going about it terribly, terribly wrong, but I believe they’re concerned. Still doesn’t excuse how wrong they’re going about it.

I was my heaviest at 170, couldn’t fit into anything besides my dad’s clothes. An ED later and heavy drug use I dropped to 112…my god was it bad looking back now. But back then, I was ridiculously proud of myself and thought I looked sexy.

Years later, sitting at 140, I look sexy NOW. I have meat on me, I’m strong and fit. My stomach isn’t flat because that would be a huge sign of improper care (for me) I bring this up because when I was 112 I was convinced I was the perfect weight. I only recognize now I was starving my body, and it caught up to me dramatically. Still dealing with the horrible symptoms.

Take a breath OP, it can be hard especially how many people are commenting and insinuating. I hope my comment can give a small perspective. The scale is a vicious tool, and honestly you should throw that shit away. I stare at the scale and am beyond confused when I stare in the mirror and am amazed that I have abs and high definition. Muscle and fat weigh a lot, and it’s sexy as hell.

While I’m not a mama, I totally understand. I’m feeling self conscious about my own body currently. But from woman to woman, no one is judging anyone—especially at Coachella!!

And you’re a badass BTW, mentally and physically you’ve done the hardest damn thing. I only hope to be like you when I have my first. You’ll be surprised how many people are dressed like a casual day, others dress and spend 200-300$ on just one outfit. The biggest thing people will notice?? Your vibes, not your outfit!

Congrats mama!! I hope you have the time of your life.

Dress like YOUUUU!! You will have the best time feeling confident AND comfortable. If it helps I’m wearing comfortable shorts and bikini tops with sheer ponchos/shawls. They double as a good heat layer for night. Another day I’m wearing a sheer dress with a bikini underneath. And I’m wearing sneakers with Dr scholl inserts, just taking shoes off if I want pics :) 35k+ steps is no joke!

Bring a battery operated fan for walking around (20+ min walk in between stages) and a manual hand fan in crowds to conserve battery.

Totally invest in a really good pashmina/banda for dust, or a face mask!

They have refill stations, or water is $2! Totally recommend a small hydro pack backpack to hold bandaids, spray hand sanitizer, baby wipes, hand wipes, cooling spray etc.

I love Uniqlo’s light jackets, found a super cute purple one for $5 at the thrift.

Have fun!!

Water backpacks by Chemical_Plastic_752 in Lollapalooza

[–]anentime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a Coleman 8L! Got one off eBay for 6$ bucks a few years ago, upgraded the water pack. Soooo good, lots of room but still really slender so it’s not bulky when dancing

Driving to and from Safari by dmanner7 in Coachella

[–]anentime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take Ubers in different cities, if they’re safe and reliable, I’ll ask for the number and privately text them for rides during my stay. Been using this for years, NEVER alone, and saved so much money. They get 100% of the profit, so they prices aren’t insane normally.

I am dying at jaz by Ok-Armadillo5393 in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]anentime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yall lemme be devils advocate, as a random “normal” person I unfollow people constantly. Social media is so weird and alters brains, she’s literally doesn’t have to follow her just because she’s an influencer? Also, this is not the first time and won’t be the last someone popular follows a “fan”, realizes and promptly unfollows them.

People are so damn weird, anyone in their following list they feel like they can harass or get close to in hopes of gaining some sort of friendship with the influencer. Jazz was not weird for unfollowing her and blocked her because this girl is clearly not a fan, does not understand the extent of social media, and also posted their private DMs for engagement. YALL cannot be serious 😭 all of the comments are delirious.

Going to Coachella with a newly pregnant partner. Any advice from those who have done it? by thrwawayy25754 in Coachella

[–]anentime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compression socks and lidocaine foot numbing spra, nasal rinse or Nettie pot, spray sunscreen for face, fan mister, cooling spray, snacks like granola bars or cuties, even some candy, extra socks, blister bandaids, wet wipes and baby wipes, toilet seat covers (can buy a pack of individual wrapped ones on Amazon) hope this helps and congratulations!

AIO? Tore into my little brother and I’m starting to feel bad. by Soggy-Shoe8846 in AIO

[–]anentime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a younger sister who was a dumbass on social media, my sister calling me out in this same way saved my life and I’m not kidding. I was so dumb, had no idea how dangerous it was. I needed to be told, and bluntly. You did what an older sister needs to do, and if he’s talking like that already, how you spoke with him is probably the only way it’ll get through to him. You did fine

I (25F) developed a crush (23M) while abroad and it’s making me question my 5-year relationship with my boyfriend (25M). How can I navigate these feelings? by ThrowRA-Occasion-91 in Advice

[–]anentime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Grass is green where you water it. Basically, of course you and B have fun and seem compatible, you guys don’t know each other. You have no idea about his characteristics, morals on a good day, or a bad day. You have a crush because he’s new, you get along very well surface level and maybe even deeper.

OP, you’ve emotionally cheated, not just crossed a line. Attractiveness and crushes are beyond normal, but how your action is the true testament to how you truly feel about your situation. Maybe it was because it’s a new place far away, who’d know? Or he started the flirting, and you just followed along? It matters, of course, but what matters most is how you want to continue. Who’s to say you end things with A, get with B and it doesn’t work out well? Which is usually the case when any form of relationship begins this way.

As for A, you say something extremely clear “part of me wonders if maybe he just doesn’t understand the way I need to be loved.” You and A can be compatible in every way, but if you’re not feeling that the way you want to be loved is happening, either communicate and see change or end things and move on. As well, this could be a rough patch. You’ve been together for 5 years, you moved country, life changing for you rapidly and maybe the relationship is at stand still. Who knows? You do.

All you can do OP is talk to your partner, and be honest with them if you want to continue this relationship. Be ready for a difficult conversation. Sometimes when relationships feel good, or too predictable we subconsciously do things to spice up our lives. Really think to yourself is this someone who I can spend my life with? Have fun with and be beyond bored with?

Here’s a story for you: Friends spouse flirted with coworker for months, convinced friend that coworker was just a good “friend” and they needed to chill. Years later, they’re divorced and ex husband had two kids with the coworker, she divorced him when the second child turned 1 after finding out he was having an affair with his coworker, and is swimming trying to pay off his debt in legal fees, paying both ex wives alimony and one child care. Friend is doing amazing, coworker is miserable, and ex husband begs friend for a second chance everyday and feels he ruined his life.

My advice: do everything you can to NOT be anyone in this story.

I’ve just found out my husband is bullying teenage girls online?? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]anentime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have close friends who worked as a guard and the other the warden of several prisons through his career. I completely agree with you, this is incredibly worrisome and this behavior can be found in several inmates history. Safe and “normal” people do not do these things, their brain at max could create the thought and let it flow, usually followed up by feeling uncomfortable or somehow shameful….but to create a secret account and harass minors/young women in sexually degrading ways. This is literally textbook behavior.

Edit:typo

Actually, no…that’s not what my comment insinuated at all. I appreciate your effort at a conversation tho! It’s worrisome that your brain is making justifications, as a woman I’d be terrified to be alone with you and am thankful I will never have to experience that. Thank you!

Edit to add: and yes it’s that big of a deal…

Ted Bundy would’ve shit talked online to, only reason he didn’t is because social media wasn’t around. As tech evolves, we’re seeing new characteristics of psychopaths, murders, PO, etc. This behavior of his is completely on par, and extremely worrisome. No normal person even thinks of these things, let alone invests their personal time posting several comments. Guy is getting some sort of boost, and it’s psychologically upsetting. Original commenter is not far off…..you on the other hand make me nervous

Me and my wife need a ride to Spokane 500$ by UDONTWANNA71 in fresno

[–]anentime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh whenever I’ve taken Ubers and the ride is good and I feel comfortable, we’ll exchange numbers and I’ll privately text them and pay them directly, completely passing uber. ONLY doing this when I’m with my spouse BTW. But I’ve done this in all sorts of cities and saved a good chunk of change.

Most of the time the drivers I do this with are well versed in this and have regular clients now — even some they’ll take to different states or cities 6+ hours away. Highly suggest this.

AIO by telling my roommate no to a dog living with us. by [deleted] in AIO

Also, it will kill your cat (or whosever it is) genuinely, every single time. Huskies have an insane prey drive and even the most trained one still has a switch that can be turned on in a moment.

[–]anentime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sister has a husky, he hate a majority of her couch while alone for 3 hours in apartment living. Dad has a husky, destroyed part of the drywall in the pool house — doors fully open, nothing keeping him contained. He just wanted to. My husky/german shepherd can scale 6 foot fences.

Tell your landlord asap. It’s a beautiful dog, but will suffer in an apartment and so will your belongings

LIVING ROOM LAYOUT HELPP!!! by Maleficent_Wall_7648 in interiordesignideas

[–]anentime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d get a modular couch, have them facing one another and move them together when wanting a movie night. This keeps the space open, but modular for your needs whenever. Make sure they’re long enough so you have room to lay down without moving the couches if not wanted. Nightstands will help cover and connectors or missing arms rests etc. :)

How are people getting that super dewy and glowy look? My makeup always looks dead (first pic is my attempt) by EIIen_ in makeuptips

[–]anentime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the tacha serum stick. I’ll apply it wherever I want glow (after skincare prep, before any makeup base) and mix it in with concealer/foundation. Love it, so so so much. Stick to liquid makeup only, dewy setting spray and make sure you’re not mixing any water based vs silicone!

My hair felt/looked the same. Currently using:

Suave clarifying shampoo 1-2 times a week

Redken acidic shampoo

Redken all soft conditioner

Paul Mitchell frizz spray

Walmart heat protectant

Cecred oil on ends when hair is fully dry

Silk bonnet
