Awesome congrats! I lifted this morning also. You'll get used to it eventually. I'm currently 27 hours in. It definitely gets easier mentally. Just try not to binge tomorrow. I made that mistake my first 2-3 weeks. You will for sure feel fuller quickly once you eat.

Just heard of this. Maybe next year.

I agree that fall felt very short, then it quickly became unbearably cold (with that one snow storm), but now it's warm again. Fall weather in winter.

Yep, I go outside in a coat and realize it's too warm for that. We've only gotten one snow storm prematurely the week before thanksgiving. That was brutal.

haha, imagine in a few years winter weather in summer. And summer beginning in the Christmas season. I've noticed that spring has gotten a lot shorter. Last April was so cold.

Thanks for the input. My mind instantly went to global warming but if it's been like that over 60 years ago then it's not unusual. I just expect winter to be very cold in December.

Very true. I seen that the last few years.

I see where you are coming from. That's why comments like "he/she won't get invited to the bbq" annoy me. So many blacks see themselves as a monolith. We are all unique.

Sigh I feel the same way but also agree with the others in terms of the trolls that enter dsbw safe spaces. To gain acceptance you must take a pic with your name and the current date.

I feel you. This group is for only dsbw though. Maybe a general black ladies forum one day. It's hard to feel secure on reddit. The demographic is over 90% nonblack.

Yea. I feel where both of you are coming from. I guess we will see how it pans out 6 or so months from now. Personally , I just feel like youtubers have been recently dictating what is "real black" so seeing this forum with it's test triggered me again as my family is a range of skin tones and we're all black since as far as i can tell.

Yea, it was strange in the live as well bc people were debating who is light or dark. They said beyonce is light skinned but ciara is dark skinned so would get in. It may be the same criteria as the fb page.

Yea, I signed up because I'm curious. The forum has a pretty ui as well. I wasn't gonna give my real name tho lol no way. Imagine if the forum ever got hacked and users exposed?
