acrylic nails Anonymous 19827[Reply]

what is everyone's opinion on the expensive habit that is getting fake nails? i dont even do it anymore after thinking, "who am i actually doing this for? i dont really care."

Anonymous 19828

I think it signals a level of desperation to improve your looks no matter the cost, time or discomfort invested that I don't want to give off.

I also don't think they look good a lot of the times.

my opinion is that it keeps my 60yo mum (ex-hair salonist) occupied with something to do so i think it's sweet.

Anonymous 19831

A lot of my peers get them done and were talking about how it cost them $120 and 2 hours. No thanks, I enjoy my money time and ugliness.

Anonymous 19837

I've got them a few times, and they make every day tasks frustrating. It's also expensive and I don't have much money for stuff like that

These days I just paint my nails if I feel like it

Anonymous 19899

My friend has gotten into designing nails since she stopped dancing and does nails for her friends who still work at the clubs. She's starting to make more and more money for her nails and even just commissioned a logo. Her designs are really pretty and elaborate but I still don't wear them even though I know she'd love to practice on me because I'm a little autistic or something and they give me sensory issues. They're nice to look at but idk how anybody can stand to wear them. If you're artistic at all it seems like a really cool hobby to make your own.

What's a better metric than bmi? Anonymous 1963[Reply]

AFAIK it excludes some factors like body fat % and doesn't work well for others like height if you're rather short or tall, and the constant used in the formula is petty arbitrary. It doesn't really matter if your bmi is just slightly under 18.5, as long as your body is getting all the macro and micronutrients you need in more than sufficient amounts, right? According to a number of sources the ideal bmi is between 20 and 21 for caucasians but most people look a little flabby sans clothes at that number, and that most underwear models who look perfectly healthy otherwise would be classified as underweight.

Thank you! This seems very expensive though, might settle for some cheaper methods like calipers.

People of African descent have a standard that's higher than Caucasians, iirc it's a few points higher than Caucasians. A non hispanic white woman is considered Obese at a bmi of 30, a black woman is the same at 32. So a white person's bmi 25 is similar to a black person's 27.

This. I'm caucasian, very athletic with BMI of 20-21 and my body is a lot like OP pic, but with more muscle and definition.

If you're very athletic, BMI becomes unreliable, just as it's unreliable if you're sedentary.

Muh nose sucks

Anonymous 19835

Don't jump down my throat, but I'm against cosmetic plastic surgery in general because I don't think women should have to go under the knife just to feel good about themselves. Look at all the ugly wretched men out there who don't feel an iota of shame about how they look, then look at the women next to them who look fine but hate themselves for some reason. For example, >>19826 , there's nothing wrong here. I don't know what mirrors you're looking into.

Ask yourselves:
>Who is making me feel bad about how I look?
>Would I be as harsh on one of my friends with similar features?
>Where do I stop? What features? What age?
>Why do plastic surgery results seem to end up looking just one way? As in, why don't you see rhinoplasties offering wider noses, or ones offering to emphasize a dorsal hump?

I'm not controlling or shaming anyone, I just think you all have worth far beyond what you look like. And you can spend that money on a fun vacation or an awesome hobby instead.

Anorexia recovery Anonymous 19479[Reply]

I'm in recovery because I wanted to commit suicide but all the food makes my stomach hurt. I think it happens because I have gotten used to only eating vegetables and coffee or tea. Could it be that coffee damaged my stomach? Or maybe it's just my anorexia mind feeling guilty for eating?

Anonymous 19483

a lot of times your body isnt used to a proper amount of food if you have been restricting. a lot of it could be psychosomatic. i would say try to distract yourself from the feeling, eventually it should go away. are you seeing a doctor or nutritionist during your recovery? its important to be monitored during it.

Anonymous 19806

kinda offtopic but what helped me recover was studying nutrition, metabolism, food, digestion, cells, vitamines, hormones etc etc the more i understood the proces and the effects of foods on the body, the better my relationship with food got. it sounds silly but any time a bad thought came up like "this food will make you fat" i'd be able to respond with real information and facts like 'no if i eat X, then my body will produce Y and Z and that's exactly what my body needs to be healthy so you should stfu <3'

Everyone's digestion gets fucked up in anorexia recovery. Try some yoga for stomach pain like puppy pose. I saw doctors for it but after like a year and a half I figured out that most of the pain was just trapped wind

It's not the coffee, you can keep drinking that.

Early pregnancy Anonymous 19774[Reply]

So i recently discovered I'm pregnant (blood test), I might be in the 3rd week or so, I haven't even been able to see a doctor yet.

I'm so anxious and I can't even tell anyone (apart from my moid who doesn't seem take it really seriously, he even offered me a drink and cigarettes, saying our grandmothers smoked and drinked during pregnancy and it wasn't a problem…whatever,i didnt choose him for his medical literacy), what makes me especially anxious is that there's so much risk of miscarriage at this early point and also I'm afraid my baby might come out with disability (i will do every test i can to determine if it has disability, and if it is the case i will terminate the pregnancy… I want to be a mom but i couldn't raise a person with heavy disability)

I want to tell my mom but she will instantly go crazy. So let's wait a few months until Im sure it's safe

For now i don't really feel different, i just have some light stomach pain fron time to time but maybe that's just psychological.

Have you ever experienced pregnancy? Feel free to share your experiences of (early) pregnancy.
Also if you have any tips.

congratulations on your pregnancy! now get the fuck off any antidepressants or mood stabilizers you may be on (taper). do not under any circumstance drink or smoke (your babydaddy is a fucking retard for offering). do not eat ultra-processed goyslop. if your baby does test positive for any disabilities, do NOT terminate the pregnancy. you'll regret it for the rest of your life. you think you're not strong enough to raise a disabled child but you are. see your doctor FREQUENTLY.

Pill junkie, doctor shopper, here. Attempted suicide more than a dozen times, was hospitalized 3 times, one of them for more than a month. Had to have my stomach pumped many times because of attempted suicide through OD. Was kidnapped,sexually, physically and mentally abused for 2 years, almost got killed 3 times by that person and they used me as a way to extort all of my family’s money.

>Do you take any? Which ones?


Sertraline, Keppra (I’m epileptic), Alprazolam (Xanax) and Zolpidem (Ambien, my beloved)

>When did you start?


I started to take Sertraline and Ambien at 14. Quickly became addicted to Ambien and started abusing it.

>Are you diagnosed with anything?

BPD, PTSD, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, suicidal ideation, panic disorder, insomnia.

>Do you take any? Which ones?
Every SSRI basically until one sent me to the hospital with psychosis (Viibryd).
Buspirone, Seroquel, Risperidone, Adderall, Vyvanse, Xanax, Ativan.
The Xanax & Ativan are the only ones I took consistently (10 years) and I tapered off 2 years ago
>When did you start?
14
>Are you diagnosed with anything?
MDD, ADD, Panic Disorder
>Which ones have you tried? Did they work?
the SSRIs would always help my depression and give me boosts of energy for a few months and then quit working and i would try a new one. the benzos worked for my panic attacks but since ive tapered off, i no longer have panic attacks but just kind of live in a constant state of uneasiness + feelings of dread a few times a week.
adderall is amazing for making me be productive for once in my life but i cannot take it because the come down makes me suicidal

I’m 162 (5’3 Google says). I live in Japan and am eurasian, so I’m the “Ideal” here. Girls will say they wish they were my height so clothes would fit them better, or how they wish they had long legs like me or a tiny waist like mine (and being brutally honest, I don’t have long legs nor a particularly small waist. If you were to measure the average skinny pure blooded japanese girl, their waist will be smaller than mine. It’s just that usually Japanese people are more stocky and have less defined curves, including men, who are more blocky and don’t have broad shoulders and small waist/hips, like the ideal standard here.)

Moids just say I look like a k-pop idol (whatever the fuck they mean by that, because a real k-pop idol will absolutely digest me if we stood side to side). Maybe they just think it’s offensive to say I look like a JAV girl, but having worked as a gravure model and as a hostess, I don’t think it’s offensive at all.

I have wide hips, like fitness, so I have a big butt, have breast implants (basically necessary if you work as a gravure model or hostess here) and my waist is normal, it just looks smaller because of my larger hips. Average BMI.

I thankfully got good features from being eurasian (youthful, feminine face, thick hair from my Japanese side but a straight and thin nose, double eyelids, pale skin and a curvier body from my white side)

I basically look like any gravure model you’ll see at a convenience store’s magazine section here. Pretty, but forgettable. It takes a lot more to be an actual model here.

My moid is 183 (6’ I think) and I think it’s perfect. He looks great in all clothes and will make even casual stuff look elegant. Out of the two of us, I think he’s the better looking one, and he was actually scouted many times to be a real model, not just a cheap gravure girl like me.

In the countryside I can usually be the same size or slightly smaller than the moids here, but when I travel to a big city, most guys are taller than me and sometimes taller than my moid. Women are almost always smaller than me but occasionally there will be a girl taller than my man. It’s mostly old people here in the countryside and when there’s someone young, they will be in school. Most uni students move to bigger cities to study at prestigious universities.

I'm 5'1 and I hate it tbh. I'm East Asian w a baby face so I only attract fetishizers n ped0s it's hell. My height doesn't help. Sometimes I feel like if I was taller I could help mitigate the damage from my other qualities.

Anonymous 19801

I'm 175cm and I think I have the ideal height (for my location). Tall enough for it to look good but not so tall to run into significant problems with buying clothes or towering above other women. I don't think I have great proportions though but that's beside the point.

Anonymous 19810

i'm 5'7/170cm.
i don't really like my height, i wish i was a bit shorter (5'3-5'5?) i think short girls are cute and sometimes i just don't feel cute myself just because of the fact i'm tall.
i'm slowly coming to peace with my height though and think there's some advantages too! like long pretty legs ehe

Anonymous 19815

5'10/178cm, was not even in the top 10 tallest girls in my high school where I grew up, lots of Scandinavian families in the area (mine included).

Then after visiting other places I felt like a giant. Was insecure about it for a while. But I ended up developing a preference for men that are around my own height so it worked out in the end.

Buying jeans is still a nightmare, though.

Gaining weight is the easiest but I’ve also heard doing weight training that targets the chest and pecs makes the breasts perkier which might help. You might also hit a second/final growth spurt randomly as you pass through young adulthood. I’m almost 30 and in the last year or so my breasts look larger (this might also be due to weight loss in my midsection which accentuates everything else, idk)

Also look into fenugreek supplements

there is no healthy way to do it that doesnt create a crisis in your life. You need to get an acute hormonal imbalance. Your options are:
get fatter
get on birth control
get pregnant
get pcos

honestly its just a better play to get a bigger ass, you can do that just by exercising and it does kinda the same thing
