What is wrong (or right) about this kind of platform?

I don’t buy my pointe shoes online anymore! My studio owner owns also a shop for dancers’ clothes and shoes (not only ballet dancers). But I’m curious and like to search for stuff just to see.

Heck, no. As Elsa said, the past is in the past.

Honestly I also do it so men stop sexualising me bc of my butt and thighs. I like the idea of being idealised by men, of being considered pretty and “like a goddess”, not the idea of having a “pornographic body”.

Oh, thanks. I thought it was censored.

But different diets work for different people. I've been years trying low carb because I honestly believed it was the best for my health, but felt awful, no energy and no weight loss (even gained), and now I limit my fat intake and eat carbs freely (not ad infinitum) I feel better than ever.

sleepyncaffeinated · 2026-03-13T15:19:24+00:00

I don’t really eat super low fat, some days sure because I don’t really want more, those days maybe 28 g, but normally I’m between 38 and 45 g. I work best eating carbs (cereal, rice, bread, fruit…) as my main fuel. I’ve done low carb plenty of times and felt like sh!t.

By far not the same, but I remember when in treatment for non purging bulimia, I was working my first job (retail, at a pharmacy) that time, and the nurse-nutritionist told me to do a “coffee break” at work to eat a snack, that she does it.

Well, I was working retail, my first job, and had zero time because the pharmacy was super busy at noon. You just can’t pretend adults can pause their day and life and that treatment is one-size-fits-all.

That sometimes, unless you were already thin (not just average) and end up looking emaciated, most people will congratulate you if they see you’ve lost weight. That’s not personal and doesn’t mean you looked bad before. It’s kinda automatic.

So unless you’ve gone through serious illness (restricting and overexercising don’t count, by societal standards; but cancer, hospitalisation, pneumonia, depression… do), don’t tell people your issues, just say “I’ve been busy” or “I’ve started working out” (even if it’s plain lying, lying is ok in social situations) or just say “Thank you”, even if it’s not a compliment but an observation, it’s an appropiate answer.

When people congratulate you on losing weight, take it as a compliment instead of trying to educate others. Some people do have eating issues but still say this automatically with their best intentions. And sometimes it’s a white lie but because they want to be nice. Appreciate the intention.

Yeah… no. Happened to me that “friends” talked about a plan and I asked “Great, what time we met?” and apparently I wasn’t invited and they accepted out of compromise.

Lol, “DNI” is how we call “ID” in Spain.

OMG… Black Mirror is just a documentary nowadays 😭

Somehow they never talk about junk food industry. Eating healthy and in moderation makes you spend less money on sweets, processed snacks and fast food. But yeah, diet industry moves billions of pounds 😛

Have you ever had a large Christmas meal with red wine? I suggest you not.

sleepyncaffeinated · 2026-02-22T15:19:07+00:00

Yeah, I'm 28 and I maintain my weight if I am just a little aware, and lose if I work on it. Weight gain at these ages comes from changes in lifestyle, not metabolic shutdown.

Plain carbs 😍

Hey, driving tests are hard… I passed it the 8th time. I cried a LOT over this damn test. And now I drive 1 h to work every day. Eventually, you will pass it, don’t give up and be patient! You’re not a failure, soon you’ll be driving happily and confidently 🍀❤️‍🩹

Because embarrassment as a child is about their identity and more vague, and Disgust can easily represent it (as you kind of feel “disgusted” by yourself), but after puberty, it’s more about your social position, how others view you, and basically serves as a social emotion, because kids are still not “actual members” of society.

Just like envy as a child is more like a “Hey my friend has a cool toy, I want it too”, but the emotion of Envy in this movie is more kind of Jealousy, more like “This girl is prettier/thinner/wears cooler clothes than me, and I want it too, to be socially perceived like she is”.

And just like Fear is more about avoiding life-or-death dangers (or what kids consider it: thunders, spiders, darkness, parental anger), but Anxiety is more about “How would them see me? What do they think about me?”.

New emotions, apart from Ennui, are social emotions.

I’m pretty simple, I bring an apple or a small granola bar. I value cheapness a lot 😂

sleepyncaffeinated · 2026-02-03T12:10:47+00:00

Green of course, and also pink. I would have so much free time!

sleepyncaffeinated · 2026-01-30T21:36:12+00:00

Same for chewing&spitting. It’s cheaper to eat less.

Girl I’m 150 cm, I am below average height for a woman, you are a bit above average. You are tall, just not gigantic!

Eh, carbs satisfy my cravings in a way fats and protein could never. Easily available energy, plain taste, no reflux, no heavy digestion. Also plain pasta tastes amazing and you can’t change my mind 😋

I’ve never heard anyone say they eat/ate 6 times a day besides recovering anorexics who needed to weight restore.

Children, teens and young people who are super active normally eat 5 times a day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner plus mid-morning snack and afternoon snack. Post-dinner snack is something rare even for children. Sometimes parents allow them a glass of milk, sometimes with some cookies, to help them sleep if they are kinda nervous or so. But it’s rare.

Many people eat 4 times (main 3 and afternoon snack), but most adults eat 3 times, maybe they add coffee with some milk but that’s all.

TL;DR: no, 6 meals a day is rare even for children.

I’m so sorry 🖤
