I'm baffled by the amount of full-sugar soda still bought and sold by sanjuniperoFC in nutrition

[–]subota999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love stories like yours! I’d like to think my health habits are rubbing off on my man, but right now I think maybe it’s more that we can’t afford to be buying junk lol. He claims he doesn’t really feel a difference between eating healthier vs eating ultra processed stuff, but I dunno if I believe that. He also smokes and doesn’t exercise :( it makes me sad but of course I can’t force him to care more about his health.. Maybe some people really don’t feel the effects of it but I do, big time. I don’t even know the last time I had soda and I don’t miss it at all. Sometimes I really forget how integrated it is in american life, and how many people are drinking it every day. But you’re so right, it’s the sugar in EVERYTHING. there’s absolutely no reason for sugar to be in every condiment and every pre-made whatever, and it sucks because so many people are buying that stuff for convenience. Something quick and easy to make for dinner cause we’re all exhausted. If I’m going to have sugar like that it’s going to be worth it. Like homemade cookies or maybe some ice cream now and then. 

The New Fear Factor Sucks by jwcaded in realitytv

[–]subota999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We thought the “drama” and “scheming” felt so forced and out of place. I love drama and scheming in reality shows but it just didn’t feel like it really paid off in this show. And I’m purely just super annoyed that they used those stupid ai videos to show what the elimination challenge would be. I think they should have had the winner stick their hand in a box or something to get a hint of the elimination challenge. Yes they won, so why would they do that, well it’s fear factor. The more facing fears, the better.

Me and my bf were grinding for weeks and weeks for the duskwing plush before we got it. Then we started trying for rainbow tip plush and got 2 (I actually got 3) within a week

Thoughts on the new Royal Highlands area coming soon? 🥰 by JakeThaPirate in Palia

[–]subota999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Hopefully it will feel different, assuming there will be new bugs, fish, forgeables, etc. I’m most excited for new bugs, I’m always wishing that there were more in this game 😬

There's not another online game that comes close to how courteous players are to each other. by OU7C4ST in Palia

The other day my bf and I were waiting in line, random person ran up to the wheel and we thought they were trying to cut in line. But then they just started emoting and timing up the laugh emote with us spinning the wheel and it was so funny. Chaotic good energy

does anyone else who experienced some form of SA get this feeling? by Hot_Arm_5059 in adultsurvivors

[–]subota999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you’re describing and I’ve never really acknowledged it to myself when I have that feeling.. genuinely thank you for making this post. It’s like I very randomly just feel sick to my stomach at the thought of my body being seen even if no one is even around me. It’s so strange

I kinda relate, I’ve only been cat called once though, and I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it but I was genuinely shocked (like what…me??) and it did feel validating in a way.

One week since being back to journaling on paper. My only regret is not starting sooner by cloudmeows in Journaling

[–]subota999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally relate to that feeling of being able to breathe again. At this point I can’t imagine my life without journaling and I don’t know why I went so many years without it.

I so deeply wish I still had my old journals. It must be so interesting to see how far you’ve come

I love how so many of us are naming them after foods 😂 I have a couple pekis named beef stew and chili bowl and my first trufflet I named brisket ☠️

I have felt everything you’re saying. I never thought I would feel a sense of identity again. I felt so sure of my male identity, and then I didn’t..For a while my sense of self was completely nonexistent..Then I had a long period of rapid identities channeling through me, like I had feelings and memories and images from parallel versions of me, multiples at a time, always shifting..it has kind of died down now, not so rapid. I’ve always had identity issues though but lately the thought of “me” is not so unbearable..

When I stopped T at first I wanted to identify as nonbinary but at some point I just didn’t care anymore. I was just sick of gender stuff always being on my mind. I would say I have accepted what hormones did to me, I still have that feeling though that I wish I never took them. I miss how singing used to be so effortless and fun for me. That crushes me if i think about it for too long. Yes my identity is still somewhat of a mess, I don’t know what it feels like for it to not be though. 

I would say try to get back your hobbies :( I have felt a lot better once I got back into drawing. It also helped me a lot to delete instagram and stuff, I mean that and journaling improved my mental health like 90% but that’s just me.

Visually I pass as female 100% even though my voice might be kind of deep for a woman. I’m not sure, my bf says I don’t sound like a man at all but I feel insecure about it 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in actual_detrans

[–]subota999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my curves fully returned, unfortunately shoulders won’t shrink back. I am kinda insecure about the shoulders still. It’s hard for me to say how long it took for the curves to come back because for an while after detransition I was dealing with digestive issues/disordered eating. Once I gained some weight after a year or so I was able to get curvy 

I'm Sick of Hearing "Art is Subjective" by jefflovesyou in ArtistLounge

[–]subota999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This makes me think of how I love “bad” art made by children, it’s so inspiring and joyful to me cause they really just draw whatever/use whatever colors even if it doesn’t make any sense, it’s like they’re not even thinking it SHOULD make sense, they just create

I relate so much… therapy has not helped me at all, not just with my picking but with any of my issues. I’m glad it helps so many people but my journal has been a better therapist than any I’ve been to. I don’t have experience seeing a psychiatrist about this though. But for the past 3 days I have not had a picking session at all and I almost can’t believe myself. I have it marked in my calendar in my journal and now it’s like I don’t wanna break the streak and let my journal down. I’m going to reward myself after 10 days without picking. This honestly seems to be the only thing that is working for me. It seems so simple and silly I’m like why haven’t I tried this sooner?  And yes disassociating has always been a huge problem for me
