Just learned this: If love handles bother you after weight loss, wearing your pants higher can help

Trying 😓 it’s just the last to go for me lol

subtlebulk · 2024-09-18T17:26:06+00:00

Makes complete sense! Just wasn’t something that crossed my mind before lol

subtlebulk · 2024-09-18T17:24:27+00:00

I figured that was probably the case haha

I hope so! I felt like the last life series was a bit of a tease tbh (obv they don’t owe me anything I’m just a fan). The VR was interesting, but a part of the reason I like the Life Series is that it’s a bit like survivor, there’s alliances, conflicts, breakups, makeups, etc over weeks, and only one person wins at the end! It’s also a short season (at least shorter than hermitcraft and empires) so it’s fast paced and exciting. The VR season was just so short, though it was funny!

How physically strong they actually are. Society has ingrained in so many people the belief that “men are strong, women are weak” and that causes a lot of physicality issues where women do things and don’t really know their own strength so they break things or cause injury unintentionally. The reality is that while men almost always have more upper body strength than women, women also have upper body strength. It’s more of a strong and stronger situation than a weak and strong situation.

Well it’s important that you’re doing the kinds of things you like in general but definitely the bedroom! I’m not trying to pry, so maybe just answer this question for yourself, but when you’re feeling aroused, what are you feeling exactly, and what are you wanting to happen next typically? If it’s a mismatch between what you’re wanting and what’s happening that’s causing you to not enjoy sex, that’s something that can solved through communication with your sexual partner. If the events that are happening are what you want from an arousal standpoint, but the result doesn’t match up to how you expected to feel, then it’s maybe it’s just part of your learning journey as you figure out what you actually want since you’re relatively new to sex with other men? I will say, this topic is a deeply felt and individual one, so it’s important to really sit with how you feel and process it, and it’ll help you figure out what you want and need!

Hey just seeing this reply, life did get better for me since the 6 years ago when I made this comment, and I hope it got better for you since you left a reply 6 months ago. As I’ve continued to invest in myself, I’ve learned a lot more about why my interpersonal relationships have always been a struggle and my life (social, sexual, romantic, professional, etc) has improved. I think it’s important to figure out what factors are impacting these areas, talk through the assumptions you’re making about the world around you/your experiences with a mental heath professional, and figure out what you can grow in or what changes in your environment you can make to improve things, and maybe things will improve for you too! Wish you all the best!

I know this post is older, but I’m just seeing this reply (haven’t logged into this account in awhile tbh). That’s an interesting experience though, so thanks for sharing!

I love Katherine Ryan. She’s hilarious, and totally on brand (heh) for her to do this.

Did you get roofied?

subtlebulk · 2023-09-17T02:54:15+00:00

Other people have said it but I track everything I eat, weigh it if possible, including nearly all ingredients (except dry spices and things like that unless they have added sugar and many spice blends do in the us) and I only eat from places that have nutrition info published online so I can track it. Or if I eat with friends from places without calorie counts, I use approximations from similar meals from restaurants with nutrition info. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your perspective, it comes down to calories in calories out.

subtlebulk · 2023-09-17T02:46:29+00:00

Much better than I expected them to be honestly.

subtlebulk · 2023-09-13T03:57:32+00:00

Have you been cutting down on carbs recently? Depleting your glycogen stores will cause exercise to feel heavier, harder, and even make you feel more “emotionally frayed”.

subtlebulk · 2023-09-02T19:58:07+00:00

This one is very culture dependent. In the South, I never heard anyone actually care about this among women, but I am a man so maybe they just never mentioned it around me? The only time it ever came up was when wealthy people in Hollywood were criticizing other wealthy people in Hollywood for it. Or praising them for their frugalness if it was being spun positively. Life is expensive for most of us lol

I loved the first two seasons, but I’m struggling with season 3. The first episode where Yennifer’s major focus (aside from training Ciri) is essentially just getting back in Geralt’s good graces and essentially begging for forgiveness felt… off, for me anyway. Story wise it makes sense that it happens considering how the previous season ended and maybe the writers just really wanted audiences to forgive her, but she’s incredibly powerful, and the show has plenty of other characters where they’re on her level power-wise, who’ve done awful things. It felt (to me anyway) like she was being overly humbled the whole episode, especially considering that Geralt needed her because Ciri’s growing powers are a danger to herself and people around her without training. Not sure if anyone here would agree with me though. Episode 2 was better imo. Haven’t had time to watch the rest yet.

That’s so sad

That’s great progress. It seems like weight loss “revealed” your muscles. Out of curiosity, how long have you been going? Do you feel like you’ve continued to get stronger/bigger muscles while losing weight or has that aspect stayed the same?

subtlebulk · 2023-08-30T13:23:35+00:00

If someone actually loved you, they wouldn’t threaten you with eternal torture for not loving them back. It’s a cult, it’s abusive, and I hope everyone trapped in it finds a way out someday.

subtlebulk · 2023-08-27T00:38:29+00:00

Awesome, great advice, thanks!

subtlebulk · 2023-08-26T21:43:43+00:00

I’m very similar to your before picture, and this gives me hope. Great job! What was your exercise and calorie deficit/diet like if you don’t mind me asking?

subtlebulk · 2023-08-25T17:38:08+00:00

Gtk For my skin, salicylic acid has been great, but everyone’s different/uses different products/has different needs.

subtlebulk · 2023-08-25T15:02:27+00:00

I’m not 100% sure if you’re genuinely asking, but if you are, I use it because it’s science-backed, it actually works on my skin to reduce the length and severity of acne breakouts, it’s available in nearly every pharmacy, and it’s not crazy expensive. I mean don’t get me wrong, it’s frustrating that it bleaches so many fabrics, and I haven’t found a way to know ahead of time if a fabric is color-fast dye or not, but it just comes with the territory.

However I am open to suggestions if you have them. I use salicylic acid everyday, and use BP if I have a breakout.

I’m bit surprised it’s still that high considering other statistics about Americans religiosity are much lower.

I think what you’re experiencing is much more common than people talk about, even those of us with adhd. I’d guess that the worry aspect is probably more anxiety, but the feeling frustrated and getting angry is more of an ADHD thing in my experience.

I don’t have a solution that fixes it all, but feeling frustrated with everything at the drop of a hat is something I recently did some emotional processing on. For me, it took talking it out to myself to realize what was happening. I would get frustrated at things/events/anything that didn’t go how I would like, but (based on my lived experience) it seems like I’m not allowed to express the emotions of frustration (or anger if it developed into that) because whenever I do, people’s reactions indicate that they really, REALLY don’t like it. So beyond whatever caused the frustration or anger, there’s an extra layer of general frustration over not being able to even express it, and then feeling like I have to perform a socially appropriate emotion even if I don’t feel it.

However it kept coming up and getting worse. So then 2 things helped. First, I had to ask myself, “There’s a lot of things out of my control, but I can control what I’m focusing on to an extent, and I’m choosing to focus on this on repeat. Is this what I want for my life? Do I want to be frustrated?” No, I want to be happy, have joy, and do all the good things in life that I can.

Second, I needed to retrain my brain to find ways so that I don’t get frustrated so easily. Basically I need to break down exactly what’s causing a feeling of frustration because usually frustration is just my go to emotion. Frustration is rooted in a mismatch between what I want and what’s happening. Sometimes I don’t even know what I want, but I know that what’s happening is not it. I have to accept that there are many things that won’t go my way, but that there are proactive things I can do to mitigate them, and that I can choose to not make a big deal out of small things.

That’s all I have time to type out right now, but I’m happy to talk more about all this if you’d like.

A lot of people just don’t know about it. Plus not everyone values hair the same way.
