i relate anon, even while wanting to be attractive wouldn’t you want to look beautiful in say an elegant/pretty way and not in ways scrotes objectify? there are a lot of women who prefer to aspire to the former but i also see so many who genuinely feel jealous and wish they looked like the women men see as sex objects, not even precious or the type they’d give princess treatment to. or the women who see extreme bbl or large boobs as the ideal instead of a pretty neat hourglass. very weird to me

probably a bit of the reason you just described, that men will objectify you anyway regardless. its a depressing way to view it but probably a good majority of women know this will always happen (since it probably has happened to them since they were girls) so why not capitalize on it? if your fate is to be consumed then i guess look appetizing. if you look good enough maybe you'll gain benefits in this point system game.

it take a good amount of courage to challenge the system many women are placed in, and dismantling it internally makes one go almost mad. or it has for me.

yes!

NMN is a gamechanger, literally no supplement ever works for me for making me feel energised but this stuff is like magic.
Why Glutathione and not NAC ?

Also to add, I am a bit of a supplement freak. I been monitoring my macros/micro nutrient intake for years but diet alone really can't fill in all the gaps unless I have like 50% more of the calories for a girl my height.

Over time I introduced:
Morning: Iron polypeptide + Vit C
Midday: Vit D + Mg + Methyl folate + Biotin
Evening: Algae Omega 3 + Vit E + Calcium + Vit C again

You get good at swallowing them without tasting (I just copied how they make cats/dogs take pills by putting it in the very back of the tongue).

Moved on from Bisglycinate to Citrate, which has a bit more mag per pill. Looking back I noticed a significant improvement in cognition. Specifically my executive functioning improved and I'm better at figuring out what's hindering it. Maybe some emotional stability too.
Pic related. I don't know how accurate it is besides oxide being shit, so it's gonna be here for discussion or something.

I also remember having 12 ng mol vitamin D a while back so that needs to be worked on 100%

>>22368
does the citrate make you shit a lot

>>22369
the shits are watery sometimes. doesn't seem to be an issue to me though.

I wanted ash-blonde color hair. Showed pictures. Ended up with purple hair. I hated it. In retrospect I should've just enjoyed the ride.

Someone's going to think this is stupid but whatever.

It was a totally decent cut & color, but when talking about restaurants she made a joke about spitting in people's food in a way that gave me such an icky vibe about who she was as a person.

When I was 16 I wanted to have orange hair, mine was really long and voluminous but instead of telling me it'd be impossible or that it'd take many sessions, they decided to do it all in one go. They started bleaching it from the top but by the time they got to the tips my scalp was fucking burning, like it was legit smoking. They rinsed it and then finished she process but for like the next 5-ish years, maybe more, that area of my scalp (back of my head) would feel gooey and my hair would grow as if perpetually humid.

>>22004
Did you at least like the orange hair?

They lie to you about the prices.

>moid approval
I mean… Technically yes but also no. All beauty is designed to appeal to the moid tastes, so at it's root, it's still for moid approval, but it's not what these women have on their mind when doing this, nowadays beauty is not only needed to attract men but to be at peace with yourself and feel like you have any value at all.

More like to be a millionaire model.

What the hell happened here?

I ate (half of) the rice that came with my lunch even though I knew it wasn't calculated into the calorie count I looked up earlier. It was great!

I've been feeling weak and super hungry this week and I realized it's probably because I've been under my calorie goal for the past few days. I'm going to try to honor my hunger and eat when I need to.

I think I need to up my calories more. Lately in the afternoon I'm completely exhausted and coffee only mildly helps.

First Halloween season in years where I've eaten the treats I've been given. It feels nice to enjoy holidays normally.

Even though I'm tracking my calories and macros I didn't add it all up to see my overall monthly "balance" because I don't care any more!

>>22299
because you are a normal-looking woman who thinks she is fat. I used to do the same thing, and it took YEARS to realize they gave me body dysmorphia. You are beautiful Nona, don't let yourself get bullied into thinking you are ugly.

>>22181
You are kind of fat with a weird body, but so what? Who are you being skinny for again? We both know, so be honest with yourself. The male gaze is not worth appealing to.

I mean, in it's core, yeah, female beauty is about being appealing to men. But you have to admit it's evolved beyond that. Women don't consciously want to be beautiful only to seem appealing to men, it's a new kind of self-worth, it changes how everyone treats and sees you, including women.

imagine thinking this is fat

>>22315
Yep, including yourself, too

Today is another full body day. I can't wait for my muscles to start showing but I know it will take at least a month.

>>22260
How much protein are you eating?
No cardio?
>>21832
I've been getting into it these past few months (I was too heavy before) with the Couch to 5K program. It's getting to the point where it is enjoyable.

I've been kicking ass in the gym lately and it's starting to show in my arms. I'm happy but I want more! I still don't look like I workout yet.

>>22322
I do not keep track of my protein intake. I try not to eat too much because I'm trying not to get big. I do cardio every day I'm at the gym (that's the 30 min incline walk), HR gets up to like 170-180 usually

>>22342
different nona, but you can't get big doing cardio.

you can take both ibuprofen and acetaminophen in the same day as it affects organs differently, and also you can stagger your medication doses so there is less chance to be affected by pain. i did this for post-wisdom teeth removal though, so im not sure how it is long term if you have monthly periods, but maybe it could reduce how those medications affect different organs. just a suggestion as you have both of those pills already. definitely look into it before taking advice though.

tea helps but i think that's bc the heat makes the body relax a bit more. when i had tea i usually had something calming like mint or green.

>>22304
(Turmeric) ginger tea helps a lot for me. I must drink a whole goddamn ginger plant every month.

>>22304
>>22338
Oh, also:
For some women, light physical activity is known to help.
Dark chocolate because of the magnesium.
Apparently orgasms for some people?

raspberry leaf tea helped when I had horrible periods! I started on bc a couple years ago and my periods last like 3 days, are light, and involve basically no cramping/bloating so I don't need the tea any more though. would recommend looking into going on hormonal bc if you're OK with that

>>22341
ty nona, will try. i have heard that hormonal birth control has some risky side effects though, so i am hesitant

>>21704
I agree with most of this and this is a good training regimen for what you're targeting. I have to disagree on the yoga thing though. If part of your problem is chronic armoring and general tightness yoga can be helpful. I know you can just do indivual stretches for recovery, but doing them in a sequence that flows is more efficient time wise and just works better in my experience. I found using a logical progression/flow improves the effectiveness of the stretches themselves, and being able to enter a meditative state using the movements is extremely beneficial for your mental and physical health.

I just think taking a more holistic approach is better than being so super against yoga as a whole just because it's full of hacks and grifters just like every single other thing on this planet that is even remotely popular. If you can get past the heavily promoted bullshit there are genuinely excellent practices and teachers out there.

I do agree that telling people to do just yoga for back pain is not nearly enough and it should be done in combination with a strength training regimen.

I have small tits and I get sweaty under them and get red lines under them sometimes and I hate it, I can not imagine what it must be like if they're bigger

>>21174
I wish I wasn't a B.

>>21847
you coffee drinking, bread-eating normies
Dangerously based
I banned bread and sugar from my life and never looked back, but only half a watermelon wouldn't even get me halfway through the morning. A trip to Turkey years ago redpilled me about rice, salmon and yogurt breakfasts.

>>21718
>I've also seen a 20 year old with big boobs and high roots/high projection whose tits reached their belly button.
Me. They've been like this since I was like 13. Sucks.
People don't really bother me about them though, I stopped wearing bras in my 20s and have always worn a lot of jackets so rather than my boobs standing out, I just look fat. I used to really hate my breasts, especially when my fucking school made me do long distance running (I AM NOT BUILT FOR RUNNING FUCK OFFF it makes my breasts hurt if I don't wear like 2 uncomfy sport bras I hate bras so much and I hate running even more why is it considered the default sport, I'd rather swim and cycle a triathlon distance, I'd rather climb a fucking mountain and sword fight a yeti, every single other sport is a million times better, I bet my ancestors were doing heavy lifting and working the fields instead of running after wild animals) but I feel better about them now.
My breasts are floppy af so I avoid running (if I need to go somewhere fast, I'll cycle, inline skate or steal someone's horse; if I sprint I legit have to hold my breasts steady with one arm and I'll be running straight to whoever made me run so I can fucking murder them) but most of the time I just ignore them, just like my nose. Just tuning it out of my peripheral vision. I've thought about getting a reduction (I think insurance would cover it at my size) but I don't have the guts to get surgery if it's not life-saving in some way and since my shitty breasts have kinda grown on me, it's not that big of a deal to just keep things the way they are. My breasts don't really give me back pain tbh, but bras do. I used to have some back pain even though I worked out, but since I stopped wearing bras, it's gotten much better. Idk if I could also attribute it to starting to go to the gym around that time, but I really feel like not wearing bras made a difference. My breasts also feel more comfortable and natural to me when I'm not wearing a bra. I really should've done this sooner, idk how I used to stand wearing them through the night as a teen, I guess I just thought that that's what I was supposed to do back then.
