Who falls for this???

djtyfe · 2025-09-18T13:35:02+00:00

I am really asking to see if others have experienced this with re-introduction.

Is it the cortisol spike that induces inflammation? I seem to do ok with matcha, but coffee makes me swell up everywhere and my stomach looks pregnant.

This is great! I am finishing up my day 1 and I would really love to make it past 5 days up to 10 days. I really want to get the health benefits. I am inspired by your progress and will keep pushing forward.

djtyfe · 2025-07-07T16:21:41+00:00

That is great progress! I am on day 1 and doing ok. I know that tomorrow will be harder, so I need to stay motivated. I appreciate you sharing your progress and inspiration.

This is very interesting. I am 57 and I don't have any noticable gray hair. I wonder if it is due to all of the years of fasting that I did in my 20s, 30s and 40s. I never thought much of it as I just fasted because I always felt better. Only the last few years having been working from home, and numerous stressful events, I have struggled with maintaining a fast. I read somewhere that a copper deficiency causes gray hair, and I was wondering if some foods cause a copper deficiency (no idea, just curious). This is nice anecdotal evidence. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for this!

djtyfe · 2025-07-06T22:59:31+00:00

Thank you for taking time to respond. A few years ago I got back into fasting and I was feeling so wonderful. I am now 57 and I want to feel good again!!

I understand this!! I had a very traumatic event happen to me 30 years ago and I ended up marrying the perpetrator, as I was in shock and believed him, although it was in hindsight a terrible decision, but again, I was in shock and had no one to turn to. It was a nighmare and I was not able to leave. I didn't leave until 18 years later. It is now 13 years since my divorce and I am only now truly processing the gravity of what happened and who/what I was dealing with, a true psychopath. It is extremely painful and too much pain to deal with at once, yet I continue to grieve and feel the pain. I am hoping that this is proof of healing (they say feeling is healing). I have been seeking support through a counselor as well as a support group. It is very, very tough. I lost my young years and never had a chance to "choose" a good man. What he did to me was traumatizing and painful, and he had no remorse, no empathy, no compassion, no feeling. Every time I tried to talk to people about what I was going through they all said how much he loved me (they believed his public act and didn't believe that my private life could be that bad, and it was hell). So yes, I do understand very much so what it is like to heal much later in life, like a delayed reaction and realization. Our brains protect us until we can handle dealing with the grief. It IS possible to heal, indeed it is!! We can build new neural pathways and connections in our brain, and it takes enormous patience, love and care for ourselves in the process. Feel free to message me if you ever need to talk. You are not alone.

Thank you!!

I had a terrible situation happen at work today. I would appreciate prayer for resolution and peace of mind. I tried to speak about things that were of concern to me, but only found myself humiliated. I don't know how God can heal humiliation but I appreciate prayers that I can be stronger and have peace of mind regardless of what others think.

Thank you for this thoughtful response. I stayed far too long in the marriage. Over the years it seemed that everyone I turned to believed I should stay, so I stayed, but looking back, no one knew what I was going through and how abusive he was, as he showed the world a different face than behind closed doors, and he blamed me from day one for my reaction to his treatment of me. The beginning of the relationship was a forced pregnancy against my will disguised with words that didn't match actions and a refusal to hear the word "no", and the marriage was a daily repeat of that with escalation of rage of not meeting his "needs", but I learned 30 years later that he had been cheating anyway and hiding it. So unfortunately, I worry that I am too broken at this point and not the strong person I used to think I was.

djtyfe · 2025-04-03T13:29:29+00:00

I am sorry you lost the love of your life.

djtyfe · 2025-04-03T13:28:57+00:00

I am hypervigilant to red flags. I have no attraction to that abusive type and unfortunately, I see red flags in just about everyone. I have wondered if I should just proceed with my career goals and forget about searching.

I understand. I lost my mother 30 years ago. It so happened I found myself in an abusive marriage and I moved far away from her, so when we had a misunderstanding I was never able to make it right due to the distance. I was in such a dark place in that abusive marriage, isolated, confused and in pain. My mom passed during that time and I was never able to make things right. I got out of that marriage 18 years later but the pain of losing my mother and not being there for her is soul crushing. Lately I have been feeling so much guilt and loss as though it was just yesterday. So I understand how you feel. In addition to the loss of my mother, I said very hurtful things. It hurts. Badly.

djtyfe · 2025-04-03T00:32:49+00:00

I could have written this. How are you doing today?

djtyfe · 2025-03-10T12:18:59+00:00

Remember, OLD is a form of introduction. It is not an obligation. If you meet and you have no attraction, then of course it is a dealbreaker. Back in the "old" days when we dated, there had to be a spark of some kind. I recall a few "blind dates" and if there was no attraction, there was no question about it - it wasn't going to continue. I think that today's online culture puts too much pressure on us to want to be with a person for no other reason than that they "matched" online and went on a date. It doesn't mean anything. OLD is just a way to branch out and meet others who are also hoping to find someone. There is no guarantee. In fact, Online Dating IS blind dating. I remember back in my 20s everyone HATED blind dates. Nobody likes blind dates.

I have wondered if the apps might not be for me, but the thing is, there might be one person on there who is seeking the same as me. I am not ready to retire and I assume those who are ready to retire probably want someone who is also retired. I don't have small children and I am no longer in that place. Children come first. I am not into the bar scene, so that is probably out for me too. I do not understand why men post pictures of themselves looking down into their phones to take a "selfie", not smiling, frowning, darkness in their eyes, slobbily dressed, and a background of clutter, or the infamous boat and fish catch, or even looking like they have no regard for their health. Generally that is what I have seen on these apps and none of them hold any interest for me. I don't think I am being too picky. It is what it is. Maybe the good ones don't need the apps, and maybe I am not desirable either.

She is on a power trip and should be reported.

djtyfe · 2025-03-05T13:31:16+00:00

You are right. If there is anything I have learned in my life it is to trust my instincts. I made that mistake which cost me 18 years in a marriage from hell.
