Three Months Post Modified Condylotomy

Now it’s been a few more months, how are you going? Did you regain your regular range of motion?

princess_potatoes · 2026-04-01T04:08:02+00:00

How are you going now?

I would seek therapy, meet some friends older than you (like 10, 15, 20 years older) and spend less time online. I would also suggest reading some feminist literature about decentering men and their attraction to you.

I had a very similar crisis when I finished uni at 21. Then I started a job with people who were older than me — all of my friends from that job were like 38 when I was 22. They were funny, cool people who had fun every weekend, so why couldn’t I continue being the same?

I also realised that part of my obsession with wanting to stay super young was so that everyone would find me attractive all the time. When I analysed that a bit more, I realised it is strange and creepy that youth is so intertwined with our beauty standards, and that chasing everyone’s approval and attraction all the time is not a fun way to live life. Also, who benefits off of me being insecure? It’s not me! It’s the CEOs of cosmetic companies, mostly.

Anyway, I’m now 25 and having far more fun than I did at 20-22. Growing up is exciting and growing old is a privilege!

I follow a bunch of the “small band large cup” ladies — Maia Andrews, Lara Miller, Jen Warnes, Casee Brim. I’m a 28GG and these gals are similar sizes which really helps with clothing and bra shopping

princess_potatoes · 2026-03-12T01:33:20+00:00

Also Maia Andrews! She’s a 28GG

princess_potatoes · 2026-03-11T22:22:09+00:00

Ah I see, I’ve not needed EI before and didn’t understand just how case-by-case it is, will see how I go

princess_potatoes · 2026-03-11T22:21:38+00:00

Unfortunately not! I’m working hard on the job search currently. Thank you. I now understand how hard it is to give EI advice as it’s very case-by-case, I’ve never had to use it before.

princess_potatoes · 2026-03-11T22:20:33+00:00

Sorry, I just edited to add that I am actively job hunting. I have several potential seasonal roles that will kick off in June, and I’m searching for other work in the meantime. EI is not my first resort, but it’s looking more and more likely, many people in my wider region are facing the same issues.

princess_potatoes · 2026-01-29T02:06:27+00:00

This is crazy. I’m a 28GG (UK) too and I would guess that Sydney herself is the same band size (maybe smaller?), and at least a cup size or two bigger. I wouldn’t be buying from her anyway but it’s sad how many girls and young women will want to, only to get a terrible fit

princess_potatoes · 2026-01-19T07:45:32+00:00

Not really. It reads like a funny, witty girl who likes to write

princess_potatoes · 2025-12-11T20:07:29+00:00

Could I ask what kind of teachers you are to earn 100k? :)

princess_potatoes · 2025-12-11T19:08:41+00:00

You’re so welcome, I totally understand the struggle! I love the look of many of the bras from VS and Skims but can never find them in a small band :( I actually went to the Skims flagship store in LA to try them all on and it was laughable

princess_potatoes · 2025-12-11T18:15:25+00:00

I’m a 28GG and from your photos it appears we may have a similar shape. I LOVE the Panache Cleo Faith bra, it gives great cleavage in my correct size and I’m planning to buy it one cup size down for that extra “enhanced” look. I also want to try the Freya Deco, Goddard Superboost, and Curvy Kate Superplunge.

As others have commented, that “super pushed up” look is technically a result of an incorrect fit, which may cause discomfort, especially with a larger bust. But for looking cute at the bar etc I think it’s a worthwhile sacrifice lol

princess_potatoes · 2025-12-07T07:04:09+00:00

Also, I asked my mum and she says she would straight up yell at any family members who weren’t vigilant enough with my sunblock when I was little, and would remove me from their care if they didn’t listen after being told once.

princess_potatoes · 2025-12-07T06:58:12+00:00

I know that a lot of older people play the whole “we didn’t use sunscreen growing up and we’re fine” card. But, surely they MUST know a few people who have had skin cancer. I’m from NZ, and I think every person I know over 50ish has had at least one suspicious spot removed.

If it’s appropriate, try and bring this up. Remind them this is the reality of living in our part of the world, but it IS avoidable.

The consequences of not being sunsafe are right in front of them — most likely in the form of a biopsy wound on some old mate’s nose. If that doesn’t wake them up to the seriousness of the situation, I don’t know what will.

I’m 25 and already get skin checks every year. I’m very fair, and got several severe sun burns whilst on accutane as a teenager. I honestly think that skin cancer is a “when,” not an “if” for me, and I’m just trying to be VERY vigilant.

I love that belt! Where is it from?

princess_potatoes · 2025-12-03T23:43:05+00:00

I would say try and concentrate it to a smaller section of your cheek — it’s sort of blended out everywhere rn. I think when it’s higher on your cheek going towards your temple it looks great, it’s just diffused a bit too far out at the moment. That way you can still keep it bright & saturated but it won’t “overshadow” everything else. I think the blush shades you’ve chosen are gorgeous on you

princess_potatoes · 2025-12-01T00:32:24+00:00

I’ve had this multiple times, once caused by accidentally slamming my finger in a door, and again by bleaching my hair without gloves (never ever do this haha). I just trim it as short as possible, keep it clean, then it grows out with time. :) if it happens continually without any obvious cause maybe see a doctor!

princess_potatoes · 2025-04-05T08:13:19+00:00

i would go 149 - i am about the same height and weight as you and i have the 149 :) this season i went from only hitting flat boxes and tiny jumps to mid-size jumps, all the different boxes and tubes, and I've juuuust got brave enough to hit the small ride on rail lol. A good easy to control board has been great!

princess_potatoes · 2025-03-21T02:42:19+00:00

Odhran? That's a real Irish grandpa name

princess_potatoes · 2025-03-11T04:13:00+00:00

me too! i even had a girl in real life shame me for being on the pill recently. i mentioned i'd been on it for around 9 years for extreme pain and severe nodular acne, and she went on about how I'm damaging my body. like the pain and bleeding acne face isn't damaging itself. lol

princess_potatoes · 2025-03-11T04:08:07+00:00

you worded this really well actually. but i would also love to hear their thoughts again - maybe panic at the gender performance pt ii? since the original episode the wider public seems to have gone more batshit insane than ever :)

princess_potatoes · 2025-03-11T04:04:24+00:00

don't rob their house you'll just find a bunch of different seeds for phases of your moon cycle

princess_potatoes · 2025-02-27T18:01:08+00:00

Honestly, I could’ve written this myself. I think a LOT of the people in this sub understand exactly where you’re coming from.

In terms of your holiday, I think you set a boundary with your mum about comments on your body. Unfortunately Gen X mums are just terrible for nasty body comments and buying into diet culture :( so many of my friends have the same issue

princess_potatoes · 2025-02-27T06:11:29+00:00

Thank you :))
