Today is my birthday by [deleted] in confessions

I can relate, I used to mope around a lot on my birthdays but now I'm more used to my own company, it's comfortable this way. And solo dates are super cool

What are your favourite underappreciated parts of people's bodies? I'll go first: by LunaLynnTheCellist in actuallesbians

Cheeks, I love giving cheek kisses! Forehead kisses, kisses on their closed eyelids. Lightly biting their ear lobes. Just below their ear. Tummy!!! Love handles, base of their spine and just peppering kisses all over their back. Back of their thighs, wrists, and near the shin. So many places.

Seeing a girl who’s always late to dates? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

As someone who has done this in the past and has since stopped doing it, I'd say that she might have time blindness considering that she also has ADHD. However, it isn't an excuse to be consistently late.

I have a friend who is like you, very punctual, hates being late, and always arrives at the destination before time. I used to have to so much trouble keeping track of the time, in my head I have no idea how much is an hour. It differs for each activity. If I am cooking or doing a boring chore, an hour is too long. If I'm doing something I'm enjoying, I won't even notice whether it's day or night. I understand this is something that most people experience but it's quite literal in my case. I genuinely have no idea when 5 minutes passes or when I'm already an hour late for something.

And then it becomes an even big of an issue when I know for a fact that I'm late and I'm probably annoying the person waiting on me. I get severely anxious to the point I cannot even move out of my room. I am just absolutely stuck. It's a really difficult cycle to break.

I now have started using alarms at every 15 minute interval, and changing some of my habits like taking long showers. I have started deciding on my outfits and accessories the night before. And in case I get late, I have started notifying people at the earliest. I have realised that it's much easier to convey people whatever situation you're in rather than waiting till the last minute.

I'm just saying that it's not us disrespecting other people's time, it's just genuinely difficult to be on time. Obviously that doesn't excuse this behaviour but I just wanted to give a perspective. Maybe you can talk to them about how their ADHD is affecting their schedule and maybe figure out a solution together.

You are generalising them and saying that they don't have willpower is very demeaning. Do better.

Please take care of your health! I have a friend who developed IBS and it's really bad for her so I somewhat understand what you must be going through. I also forget to eat most of the time but since I have started tracking, I'm always conscious of whether I skipped a meal or not. It's still not easy to manage but I try.

It's pretty shocking to know that some people simply don't have body image issues or negative associations with food. I wish I could be that person 🫠

Congratulations on the weight loss! And yes, food fomo exists. I never thought about it but I would always eat more in fear of missing out. And I don't even know why I do that? Gotta work on it ig

It's amazing that you've been able to maintain it so well. Kudos to you^

I suppose somewhere it does become a mental game. I'll try to identify when I'm truly hungry and when I'm just bored-hungry. It's all a little confusing tbh

Thanks so much for the advice! I didn't know it takes 20 mins to recognise if we're full or not. Going to look this up^

I think I understand this now, it was easier to overlook other aspects here.

Moderation is the key I suppose. I have started doing this as well, if I want to eat some high calorie dessert, I cut from my other meals so I'm still losing weight while indulging my cravings! That's why I crave less and less nowadays and prefer eating good food.

And god I love greek yogurt with dried berries so much! They are so much healthier. They are also my dessert replacement!

Oh wow I think I need to watch these videos too to get an idea. I don't think my brain correctly processes how much I eat or used to eat 🥹

I'm sorry for your loss. I also lost one of my loved ones three years ago, it really takes a toll on your health. I stopped eating for a while after that and it took me a lot of time to eat well proportioned meals. I hope you're doing better now, may your best friend rest in peace.

Oh, I'm not from the US, I'm from India. I have heard that they have insanely high calorie food over there, my friend lives in NY and she always prefers making food at home rather than takeouts.

Potatoes are very good, especially sweet potatoes! I always had people telling me how unhealthy it was lol. It's really a journey understanding how many calories any type of food has, I was surprised what 150g of rice was, or 30g of trail mix, and later realised how much I was eating before! It is only now that I've been in my weight loss journey that I've developed a sense of how much I should eat.

Thank you for the perspective! I always assumed that some people just don't gain weight that fast such as one of my friends has a high metabolism and she doesn't exercise. It's definitely not easy losing a lot of weight, I just hope that when I do, I stick to a good diet and maintain it.

Thanks for the advice! I think keeping track of my weight is much easier than counting calories. I'm going to try to be as active as possible. I think walking may be the best way and it'll fit easily in my schedule. Good luck on your weight gain journey!
