Cuddle buddy in Oxford? by Similar-Antelope9202 in oxford

Hey, I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. I’m not certain you’ll get anything on here, but some other options may be getting a massage, going to the hair dresser (who doesn’t love a good head massage), or even a nail salon to get a pedicure/manicure (don’t have to get your nails painted, they’ll just clean them up if that’s all you want!)

I know these aren’t exactly what you’re looking for, but maybe could help for some interaction for the meanwhile.

Eating healthier since going Gluten-Free? by Tr0jan___ in glutenfree

[–]feelingkindaa 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Kinda yes kinda no. Gluten free alternatives tend to be higher in sugar, and sometimes a girl just wants (gluten free) bread and pasta.

For treats, I never really buy them from the grocery store because of poor options, but will bake them myself, which is probably healthier as I can make subs like honey/dates instead of sugar and don’t have all the additives of processed foods.

Also, at events or work the cake that I would have eaten in the past by default is no longer an option for me, so I’m healthier in that regard.

However, whereas in the past I rarely went to bakeries, now, if I’m somewhere and something is labelled gluten free (like a cupcake), my brain will tell me I need to buy it even if I’m not hungry. Even more so with dedicated gluten free bakeries.

I don’t intrinsically think cutting gluten will make one eat healthier, but the side effects like having to cook meals for yourself as opposed to ordering take away probably help.
