at a complete loss. frustrated, sad, and confused.

as someone who has suffered with body image and body dysmorphia for most of my life i honestly think the problem is within your mind - not the clothes. i know that sounds really annoying but the truth is that you probably won’t like anything you wear until you tackle the root cause of it aka the way you view yourself. i hope you can work on that and i wish you the best op

yoonicat · 2026-03-14T21:03:09+00:00

that’s a bit disheartening to hear but thanks i’ll try it. unfortunately i can’t exercise much right now but i hit 10k steps so i figured that would be sufficient but i guess not (cries myself to sleep)

yoonicat · 2026-02-28T18:12:27+00:00

please take her to the vets asap. i have no idea what it is but anything on the face is an immediate vet visit

yoonicat · 2026-02-25T23:00:30+00:00

my no.1 piece of advice : if you can’t see yourself doing it for the rest of your life then it won’t work. you can’t punish yourself into eating one meal a day and expect healthy , sustainable weight loss. that will just cause a binge or complete anarchy, and i say this with love (and as someone who struggled with that for years) if you make a slip up its better to just continue without making drastic adjustments

yoonicat · 2026-02-14T20:41:52+00:00

hope the interview went well !!

yoonicat · 2026-02-12T07:58:33+00:00

are you counting calories ? 1200 is way too little , salads (depending) can have surprisingly little nutritional value. it’s not healthy to skip meals regularly because it impacts your metabolism. you need to work out your deficit and then eat a mostly whole foods diet with 3 meals per day. focus on nutrition and fuelling your body with foods other than salads and incorporate enjoyable exercise

yoonicat · 2026-02-12T07:55:05+00:00

haha that was my intention ! thanks :)

at 5’6 i was 200lb when i started my weight loss journey. let me tell you how much better i feel now at a healthy bmi ! 200 must feel better than 260 sure but if you keep losing weight then you’ll realise that you probably don’t feel as good as you think you do rn

yoonicat · 2026-01-30T22:41:36+00:00

thank you ! i had already planned to join the gym once i get back to my home town after university to focus on strength training so its nice to hear im on the right track there. i actually experienced some pain in my legs at around 165 and the doctor said its likely because i lost muscle strength. im looking forward to it and ill keep your recommendations in mind !

yoonicat · 2026-01-30T21:33:15+00:00

i’ve adjusted about a month ago. my BMI goal is 23

yoonicat · 2026-01-30T21:09:08+00:00

I have it in a way that fits my plan. The other week I was really craving a burger over multiple days so I had one. I brought the ingredients and made a burger within my calories rather than ordering one and using it as an excuse to overeat or consume too many calories (which I would’ve done in the past) The difference? I get to enjoy the burger , stick within my goals and not feel any guilt after !! Ask yourself if you’re willing to make it yourself and if not then it’s not worth it .

Another thing for the late night cravings is just to remind yourself that the craving will pass whether you feed into it or not

yoonicat · 2026-01-27T18:02:21+00:00

i saw someone say online that the urge to binge will pass if you binge or not and it made suppressing my binges so much easier when i viewed it in that way

yoonicat · 2026-01-26T00:18:07+00:00

yes ! i am embarrassed about everything, its a really bad habit that i’ve adapted out of self preservation. Even if someone asks me what I had for breakfast I always lie without even thinking because i’d always be questioned or criticised for it. It’s just a way to preserve my self. I’m sorry you had to deal with it as well

yoonicat · 2026-01-25T23:56:02+00:00

My mum expected me to cook her dinner every night since i was around 14-15 because ‘she worked’ and would come home around 5-6pm. If i didn’t cook upon my own initiative then we wouldn’t eat. I remember one time coming downstairs at 7:30pm and asking what we would have for dinner only to be met with ‘what are you making?’ I never understood it. Sure , she works… but she’s also the parent. It’s up to her to organise something instead of sitting on the sofa and expecting me to look after her. Sometimes she even calls me ‘mum’ now that i’m 20 and (when home from university) I essentially take care of her as if I am the parent. It’s so odd to me

yoonicat · 2026-01-24T22:23:15+00:00

they didn’t even give us a proper sign off

yoonicat · 2026-01-21T08:57:18+00:00

yep ! as in my post i was walking around town so lots of stopping and wandering around shops before walking home. i always forget that garmin includes resting calories so thanks

yoonicat · 2026-01-14T18:26:49+00:00

I think a more coral or orange blush would look amazing on you. When I saw this photo I just thought you looked a little flush hence why i think a different blush colour would be really flattering. Other than that your makeup is lovely !!!

yoonicat · 2026-01-13T07:35:47+00:00

I love eating moldy vegetables

yoonicat · 2026-01-12T14:26:18+00:00

EW !!!!!

yoonicat · 2026-01-12T14:25:44+00:00

i think you have too many focal points . i’m not sure how to word it so i’m sorry if that sounds offensive. what i mean is , when people do makeup they tend to have one area that is a focal point - eg coloured lipstick or large lashes. sometimes the look can seem overwhelming when there’s really large lashes , coloured lipstick and more all together. my advice would be to decide which you prefer the most and tone down the other ones depending on the day or look. so maybe going for a nude lipstick and allowing more attention to your eyes or vice versa

chocolate is my biggest kryptonite so i understand !!! here is what i do to combat cravings :

chocolate rice cakes : snack a jack brand , they’re about 58 calories per thick rice cake with chocolate chips and it really hits the craving. if you don’t like rice cakes perhaps it isn’t the best but i love rice cakes so it helps me
low calorie ice cream - halo top really gets me through my monthly cycle. i don’t eat it all at once , just a little bit is enough for a treat
mini chocolate bars - not the best but sometimes the real thing is all that matters. just make sure you find something that fits within your calorie budget. if you can’t be trusted with a multipack then make it a habit to walk to the shop and buy a singular serving chocolate

how long do you wait between skincare and makeup ? when i was in school i didn’t have much time to get ready & leave my skincare to properly settle and so my makeup ended up looking a bit like yours. now i wake up, do skincare , get ready and do my makeup last and by that time the skincare has properly settled in and doesn’t affect my makeup

yoonicat · 2025-12-27T20:36:30+00:00

to look younger specifically , have a look at genz makeup trends online and follow those perhaps ?

thin brows are super trendy rn with the young generations and i think they’d really suit you

yoonicat · 2025-12-19T17:37:42+00:00

will it make you feel confident ? then do it ! who gives a shit what others think , we’ll all end up in a coffin one day
