I tried quitting coffee once and the very next day I got 3 hours of sleep so I was right in front of of the keurig again and ever since.

>>21676
Ever since I have thought of quitting coffee I have started to drink it more …maybe its the exams or I have tricked myself into something …maybe I should just get non stimulating adhd meds

>>21680
The real solution is a consistent sleep schedule but that's like the one thing almost no one can do without significant discipline. I also heard working out makes you more energetic but I'm too tired to exercise so it's a vicious cycle.

>>21681
I like exercising and coffee helps me do it…I can work on the sleep thing ig

Nonita I'm poor

>>21986
American poor or actually poor because that's like $40

>>22021
Very limited budget poor plus I live with people who are assholes and make it weird whenever they noticed I shaved so I don't want them seeing the products I have

>>22022
ntaryt I'm sorry, that sucks. Can you keep the supplies in your room? You could by a little basket onlibe or at a dollar store and just take it to the bathroom with you… Maybe…?

If you are too poor to shave, you're too poor to be shaving. Put the money towards other things, like living with better people. Simple as that

Oops sorry I meant to reply to myself (I am going to reply to Myself every time I do a good exercise to help keep myself motivated & let others see / get inspired by my progress)
But on my 45 mins days I do the step master or elliptical with a good podcast episode so it isn’t as gruelling. I am aiming to do long hiking trips on the weekend.

Being active makes me feel alive. My weights fluctuated over the years (115-200lbs) and my healthiest and fittest I’ve been was 130’lbs where I didn’t count calories but made sure I exercised everyday and I skipped junk food, sugary drinks, and ate whole carbs (rice, potatoes)
I’m aiming to get back there again. Would not recommend starving yourself. You don’t feel as good. When I was 115 lbs I’d easily faint sometimes… I did look good in photos but feeling bad ain’t worth it

I'm gling to start running this week. I'm excited! The program I'm following builds very gradually so I should be ok. Any runners here?

>>20684
i hate cardio too. i get around this by doing supersets instead to get my heart rate up. i like push/pull supersets - pushing kettle bell drills and rowing barbells work well. important to have a heartrate monitor as you can take brief rests until you hit a minimum heart rate (115 for me)

>>21834
i recommend hip thrusts, b-stance rdls, hip abductions, kickbacks, and back extensions. thats my whole glutes day in order tbh, very effective!

>>21832
I'm still in love with running. It really improves my mental health, too. Highly recommend.

I googled convict condition routine handstand but didn't really find anything. I'm making progress, but I think I'm limited by strength.

>>21709
Its a book called Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade. It gives you a progression plan to do handstand pushups, but since you just want to do handstands I guess it helps too. It discusses how to develop balance so that you can do them away from a wall and eventually do free handstand push ups. If strength is a problem you could always do pike pushups to get the feel of manipulating your weight through you shoulders and triceps

>>21716
I definitely need to work on balance, I will check it out. Thanks.

I started raised pushups today. I'm going to do as many sets of 5 as I can 3x a week.

Took a break and lost all my strength so I'm starting over on handstands again.

This is… not a man repellant outfit. Men like when women dress like this.

I think step one is to stop worrying about the perception of other people and just dress for yourself as >>21942 so succinctly put it, and >>21941 excellently practices.

Lately I've started trying to dress however I feel like instead of how I thought a mother should dress, and it's been a very interesting exercise. Not only to see the difference in people's reactions on a day to day, but analyzing my own internal thoughts and identifying where my humanity has been stifled. I think everyone should try it, even if you do have to end up wearing something else for your safety.

fippy bippy

That said I think OP has a point in that any "trend" or whatever is in OP image would ever be considered "man repellent" - it suggests that the only people riding these trends are still subconsciously seeking male attention (e.g. they are posting these images online). Importantly, they do not want to be ignored by men, but to simply appear socially unapproachable. Being ugly does not achieve that.

Personally, I think there's merit in the core concept of becoming unapproachable. Crushing male esteem to the point that they feel inadequate to even breathe the same air as you is a perfectly valid goal (and one I stand behind). Importantly, there's more to being "unapproachable" than makeup, hair, and clothes. There are a multitude of other aspects of how you present yourself (speech, posture, facial expressions, etc.) that matter for these types of things.

Absolutely agree with you. Being intimidating is truly freeing. You are very correct that clothes are actually the least important aspect of this. I found the most success through adjusting my posture and just speaking more clearly and confidently. Your post is also very well written and I really enjoyed reading it.

Repelling men has nothing to do with the outfit and has everything to do with what is under the outfit

They work by: visual input -→ action output

If you have curves, showing skin will increase the attention you get from them, and covering up will diminish it, but they will always be attracted

If you are out of shape, men will find you revoltig. Showing skin will increase their disgust, hiding it will lessen it, but the repellant effect will always be there

>>21952
This seems like the key.

Well everything I take is endogenous to the human body or plants (the glutathione comes from white tomatos) so it's not synthetic molecules per se. I do get what youre saying about getting it from foods and stuff rather than pill form, however its not fully practical because of the massive amounts of tomatoes, grapes, etc. you'd have to eat every day to get the effective doses.

Decided to try using Magnesium to make up for the Mag losses that apparently happen after getting stressed and drinking caffeinated drinks.
Using the Magne B6 brand. (Magnesium Bisglycinate 400 mg + some B6 to go along with)
Feeling super sleepy but also super calm after my first pill, I'll see how it goes next. Picked bisglycinate specifically because it helps you sleep, but also because it absorbs really well.

Any other nonas using supplements?

>>20855
I mean, DNA damage is real and it's a part of our aging process.
But I don't know if there are any valid supplements against this, there's a lot of "longevity" stuff being sold under the guise of sciencey stuff right now, but they seem kinda like scams.
I think you're better off taking stuff that helps you reduce stress and strain on your organism instead.

>>21880
Feeling better a month later but I have no clue how much the Mag to be credited tbh.

I take vitamin b and vitamin c. Also prescription iron suppliments.

tbh i find lingerie quite cute and aesthetic pleasing. would never wear it for a man tho, maybe for a cute girl who knows. but those red super difficult lacy bdsm ones for men no

I used to like wearing lingerie when I was a single khv. I would still wear it if I had the disposable income. Most men don't understand or appreciate expensive lingerie. It's definitely not forcthem.

I want to lose weight but I like pasta, chips, cheese, cereal and subway sandwiches too much and I'm physically incapable of exercise

>>22010
Try replacing chips with popcorn

>>22010
Choose one to eat for a meal instead of all of them. Look up low calorie subs.

Start with calories in/calories out.

I'm in the middle of summer break. So far I've been under my limit every day, even with treats here and there.

I lost .5kg since last month. Pretty happy with how I look now.

>>21903
wtf

>>21903
You obviously didn't understand. I said my mom hates THE FACT I'M A GIRL. Not me.

Also, she is not a feminist but is a Catholic, very different.

>>21903
what is the correlation between her mom forcing her to buzzcut her hair and her being a pick me?? like genuinely how did you manage to leap to that conclusion lmao. and even if her mom was a radical feminist, she isnt practicing it correctly because the whole point of feminism is for woman to have full control and decision making when it comes to their mind and bodies- that includes hair. how is it radical feminism for a mother to force her adult daughter to get a buzzcut??

Been trying the No Poo method for a couple of months now
Alternating between diluted apple cider vinegar and diluted lemon juice. my hair looks better on the apple cider vinegar weeks.
Haven't tried baking soda or eggs yet, I think I'll stick with just the ACV but not sure

>>21979
My hair was a horrible, greasy mess after trying this. I hear that a water softener can help, though

yes just grow your real nails out

>>21968
you gotta file them down over the top part to apply. obviously doing this is bad for your nails

Yeah but it's not like you can't grow your nails out again.

Yes, the damage doesn't go away until you grow your nails out
