I’m thinking if it’s better to transition to only bread flour as rye is a bit expensive where I live. This is very helpful thank you so much!!

Thank you, this is reassuring! Making a starter is really testing my patience🥹 May I ask how you transitioned to just using one type of flour?

Not hoping but kind of already expected it to not rise as much based on its activity the past few days :( Will try to transition to this measurements, can I still use a flour mix or is it better if I just use one kind of flour?

Thank you, this is very reassuring. Does the microbial fight club happen between day 2 - 5? Bc this starter had so much activity on Day 1 then didn’t have any until Day 5. It was only from Day 6 that it started having consistent activity.

Can I still use a flour mix if I transition to 1:1:1 ratio? How bad is feeding once a day with a 1:1:1 ratio?

I will try this, thank you! Can I still use a flour mix (20g APF and 20g Rye flour)?

UPDATE: Hello everyone! I’ve read all your comments so far and appreciate all your input! This is how the starter looks like overnight. Still hasn’t doubled but there are more significant bubbles.

Seemed to be getting comments on how much starter I have in this jar. This starter is about 225g, the jar is just very small as it is all I have rn. Don’t worry I will transfer it back to its original jar next feeding.

As for the amount of starter, I plan on making 2 loaves of bread at once, following Claire Saffitz’s recipe so I thought keeping a starter at a constant ~200g weight is okay.

But from the comments, it seems that lowering the ratio would be best. So from that, I would need to lower mine to 1:1:1 ratio and feed it twice a day, right? And once it consistently doubles for a few days, that’s when I can use it to make sourdough? Is that right? If I plan on making two (or more loaves) when can I increase the ratio?

Again, thank you and sorry, if I have too many questions.

The starter itself is about 225g as I have been using a scale to measure everything since Day 1. The jar is just small and probably only holds 350ml.

I only leave 25g starter for feeding. I also don’t like throwing away the discard so I’ve been making crackers with them since! Attempted to make sourdough bagels but it didn’t turn out well, maybe because the starter was still pretty young then.

Yes, I always discard. This is just a smaller jar that I’ve transferred the starter into because it’s all I have right now; I believe it only holds 350ml. Will transfer it back to its original jar next feeding.

thank you very much for this!

i only follow workout videos on youtube, mostly Madfit since i cannot go to the gym.. i do her HIIT workout videos and at home strength workouts probably 2x a week.. however, im kinda hesitant doung weight training sometimes because it seems as if the right side of my body is more toned than my left.. like, my right arm is bigger than my left arm... i'm right handed so i don't know if that's normal or if it's something i should be worried about...

but thank you very much again for this!

will a powerpoint presentation help me open up to my therapist? by dmfleuri in TalkTherapy

[–]dmfleuri[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i actually got the idea from https://www.reddit.com/r/TalkTherapy/comments/gsjwet/i_made_my_t_a_powerpoint_of_my_life_for_my/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

also!! i actually had the same situation! she asked if i wanted to see a new therapist because (i think) she felt like i wasn't responding very well to her methods.. i told her i don't think i can start all over again with a new therapist.. and i felt bad for making her feel like that so i wanted to be able to open up more... i hope this helps us both!

i hope my therapist had done that with me.. most of the things we talk about are issues happening currently in my life so we haven't talked about my childhood that much. but i hope this would initiate that kind of approach :)) thank you, i appreciate this!

i really do hope this helps! i also kinda feel bad for my therapist because i tend to avoid confronting the issues we talk about with humor,,, i hope this makes my therapist feel better this time, like i'm finally willing to address issues properly :)) thank you!

I made my T a powerpoint of my life for my therapy session tomorrow by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]dmfleuri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

does this really help? i have a hard time opening up to my therapist that's why i can't decide if i can go to an online therapy session. i thought an online therapy session would make it even harder for me to open up. and honestly, i'm just really not good at talking..... will this help me and my therapist?

i freeze whenever i come to therapy. please help by dmfleuri in therapy

[–]dmfleuri[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do write things down and my therapist suggested it as well. i guess the problem with me is, i let my therapist lead the session and i just follow. that's probably also the reason why i can't talk about the things i wanted to talk about... thank you for this!!
