What I mean is I could be eating my meal at a steady pace, then without realizing it my interest wanes and I put the fork down. Out of habit, I usually end up finishing my plate several minutes later, even if it’s often just a few bites.

But I wonder of that’s part of what’s keeping me fat. What if I just threw away whatever was left when that natural lull comes up, regardless of if it fits in my calorie limit? Because I’m not going to be in a deficit forever and I need to form better habits.

Considering just making a rule that I stop eating whenever that happens. It actually makes me feel good about myself whenever I do, which in itself is worthwhile.

I did my first TCA peel a few days ago, 2 layers of 15%.

The peeling is really superficial and paper thin, translucent patches have been coming off here and there. It’s really more like dry skin flaking.

Everyone stresses no touching or anything because you’ll get scarring. Does that really apply when it’s really superficial? The skin underneath isn’t raw or anything.

I’m not gonna go scratching stuff off prematurely, but not sure how worried I have to be about removing a flake here and there, or accidentally scratching my face at night.

I have both, just wondering if it’s worth it to alternate or just stick to microneedling, which I personally find simpler.

I could wait until fall to alternate, unless adding TCA is really promising. Been working pretty consistently on them and seeing some results with microneedling.
