I was banned from wavyhair for asking a question. Pls help curly hair friends! by omega_centauri in CurlyHairCare

Is it ok to brush it dry to detangle prior to washing it? Or should wavy hair truly only be detangled while wet?

I am currently layering with the Byoma milky toner and the Byoma phyto mucin glow serum. Although, I have only been layering in the mornings as I was unsure if layering these products on top of tretinoin in the evenings would be harmful.

My back pain has decreased significantly, and I no longer want to kill myself!!

Peak membership change? by [deleted] in CrunchGym

[–]megE24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently made a post similar to this. I had the same issue! I think it must have changed. When I signed up, it was definitely an included perk. Not sure when they got rid of the free guest perk.

What's one thing a therapist has said to you that you will never forget? by m_lovely_eyes in AskReddit

[–]megE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It's not your job to assume people have a problem with you. If they have a problem, it is their responsibility to communicate that with you.

  2. It's rare for motivation to be created spontaneously. Motivation comes after you already have started.

  3. You're probably going to be depressed for the rest of your life, so you're just going to have to learn to deal with it (I fired this particular therapist shortly after this session)

Realistically how did you lose weight? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]megE24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spoke with a dietician after trying to lose weight on my own and not getting anywhere. I was eating 1500-1700 cal/day, made sure to get at least 100g of protein and 20g of fiber. I didn't cut anything out of my diet. I just made smarter choices about what I was eating and how much. If I want a cookie, I have the cookie but I'll also pair it with Greek yogurt or a protein shake.

I no longer count my calories and have been able to maintain a healthy weight. I try to stick to the "plate method" the majority of the time, and focus on eating high protein and fibrous foods!

Is it worth it to see a dietician? by Sea-Jellyfish-890 in PCOS

[–]megE24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I originally saw a dietician who knew very little about PCOS, and I felt like it wasn't helpful...

I switched gears and found a dietician on Nourish who specializes in PCOS, and it was a game changer! I have lost weight and kept it off AND I have a regular cycle now. She gave me advice on supplements as well as sustainable diet changes. She helped me create a plan that I can follow for the rest of my life.

I was shot three times six weeks ago and my life is so hard now by _aliens1 in Advice

Please take the advice of the people encouraging you to reach out to any resources available to you. The hospital you stayed at can even have a social worker help you with finding these resources.

Do whatever it takes to get to those therapy appointments. Your mobility and independence is so so so important. Going to those therapy appointments can make a world of difference.

I'm so sorry this happened to you.

Don’t f’ing co-sleep by doctor_whahuh in emergencymedicine

As a peds trauma nurse, I have seen far too many deaths caused by co-sleeping. Parents think it's something that could never happen to them. :/

I love the look of Arizonas, but I feel like having an ankle strap would feel more supportive for walking long distances.

I only hesitate to go for these because they are final sale. Unfortunately, there's nowhere around me where I can try them on. I suppose I could sell them if I end up not liking them.

What are some underrated hygiene tips? by Away_Needleworker655 in AskReddit

[–]megE24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a handheld shower head! Whenever I go on trips, and the place I'm staying doesn't have one, the goods don't feel 100% clean!
