I am on day six of no sugar, and the only debilitating thing is my food noise. I desperately want sugar, but I truly haven’t felt any drop in energy or mood swings. Has anyone else experienced none of these effects?

Hi, I got Rejuran twice now, four weeks apart. My skin looks great, even though the second treatment is just a week ago.

Do I really need a third treatment in a couple weeks, or are there cases where two is enough? I’d like to just go into maintenance in 6-8 months, but I also don’t wanna waste my money and let the two sessions go to waste if a third one is required

Now that I’m finished with school, I’ve essentially got two options. I don’t wanna doxx myself, so a quick summary of each without specifics:

Job number one:
At a smaller company, interesting and changeable tasks but expected 50+ hours a week, sometimes nights and weekends. Young team, probably could make friends with colleagues. The pay is alright but not special, but if I work very hard I can work my way up to quite a good salary. I think I would feel excitement at work every day. I think my private life might suffer though.

Job number two:
Big company, colleagues mostly aged 45+ (me being 28). Tasks are expected to be boring, it’s the same every day. Stable 40 hours a week, I don’t think I’d ever have to go over that. The pay is good, more than job one, but not that much room for improvement. The pro that I see is my private life being mine and having far less stress.

I am single, child free and have hobbies that I’d like to keep. I take frequent classes and want to do a PhD some time in the future, but only if I can add the workload to my job in good conscience. I want to date and spend time with my friends. So I kinda think the boring job that gives me more free time is better - but do I really want to spend 8 hours a day bored and not be proud of and excited by the work I do?

What do you guys think?

I’ve never seen anything with him in it I believe until now. The way he perfectly portrayed the snappy, egotistical douche, it’s hard to believe he’s acting. Just outstanding!

When he was imitating Ashley with the little „what?“, it was exactly like a boss I once had irl. Exceptionally cocky in the worst way, i was so offended for her 😭 definitely triggered my flight or fight response from that job.

Edit: seems like it have to watch some more of him, thanks for the recs! Also he’s so hot I am FERAL

Hey, I just had Botox done for the first time. Now afterwards I realize that they didn’t open the product in front of me, but when I came into the treatment room an opened syringe was already laying there. I didn’t think to check the writing to see if it was actually the product id paid for.

They also didn’t offer a consultation, but gave me one when I asked for it. I paid before the consultation.

I’m freaking out a bit bc I’m now scared I might have been given a cheap product. It’s probably just me being paranoid, I was at a big clinic, but still. Is this normal? Is this a huge red flag?

I went there for first time Botox, and I’d say it’s a mixed feeling afterwards.

I did my research beforehand, knew which product and treatment I’d probably want and booked. The booking process was easy, super friendly English speaking service.

Upon arrival, I was asked to pay immediately. They suggested a different Botox than the one I’d planned, which was more expensive. Took me a while to get a price list and insist on the one I wanted. I then paid before even getting a consultation, which didn’t feel very trustworthy tbh.

I asked for a consultation and they were confused, but nevertheless gave me one with the doctor. Who was very friendly, answered all my questions and concerns. The thing is, I feel this should be 100% mandatory and not even something I’d have to ask for. During the consultation I realised I’d need a slightly different procedure for my desired outcome, so I’m glad I talked to the doctor, but I guess without me insisting on one they would’ve just given me what I asked for without checking if I actually need it? Felt fishy.

The treatment was good, the doctor was nice and hopefully capable. Another thing I realised after, they didn’t open the product in front of me. Should they have done that? I now have no way of verifying what they actually used.

Nevertheless the price was cheap, I feel good and I’m happy enough. Wouldn’t go there again for any major treatment though.

Did anyone have a similar experience there?

I had Rejuran there and I 100% recommend it! There is only one doctor there, Harvard educated so she speaks perfect English. She does both the consultation and the treatment, the other staff is super friendly as well.

I wanted the opposite of a factory clinic and this is truly it. I could take breaks during the treatment, ask a million questions and there was no upselling. Pricey, but so worth it. They’re also always available via WhatsApp and answered my questions beforehand and after immediately.

I’ll definitely go again for any future treatments.

Just tonight, I sat next to a gorgeous man. We talked a little bit i could tell he was just being polite and not actually all that interested in talking to me. And again, I just wished I’d gotten in shape already.

I can’t wear the clothes that I feel represent me, so instead of looking cool I looked like a slob. I am so grossly aware of not having the slightest chance with the people I’m attracted to, it hurts to even talk to them because I can see how much I’m missing out on. I know I looked ridiculous next to him and I desperately don’t want that any more.

Not saying I’d automatically have a chance if I was in shape. But maybe I wouldn’t rule it out from the start.

I want to talk to people and know that I have a chance because I’m generally desirable.

Thats my shallow motivation to loose weight.

I (30 F) am in loose contact with my parents and sister, because my parents are extremely difficult people. Phone calls will turn to them screaming at each other and at me over the most random topics, and I’ve long learned not to expect any comfort or advice from them.

I have very close friends, but they all have their families, siblings and partners who are their priorities. Whereas I’ve never been able to find a partner of my own.

And lately, that has started to hurt more and more. Every summer, vacation plans get made and the group trip has to take second priority after all the couples individual plans. If I wanna go anywhere special, I do it on my own, because my girls use their days off for trips with their bfs.

After group outings, I go home alone whereas everyone else is in pairs.

I call my friends first about things happening in my life, but they all have several people they call before me.

Don’t get me started on Christmas and other family holidays, where everyone is over at their parents AND their partners families, while I’m alone.

My life is full but I feel so lonely. I feel like the only way for me to find someone who actually prioritises me is to find a partner, but despite dating a lot it hasn’t happened yet. I hate that the only way I can have a family is by finding someone else.

I have been trying to be in a calorie deficit of 500 kcal a day for a month now. I’ve failed for about 7 days total.

Every day is just a constant fight between my brain and my want for food. I’m absolutely not starving myself, I have enough protein and fiber, and still I cannot stop thinking about food every second of my life.

How much i can still eat, what id like to eat but cant, worrying if ill make it…

In general, even without a deficit I have to actively force myself not to buy 10 donuts a day just because I walk past the store. It’s like I fully have to talk myself off the ledge 36283 times a day.

Is that normal? Are those symptoms of a psychological disorder?

I just want food… always. Happy, sad, bored, not even sure what’s happening but a donut or a pizza or fries or toast or cocoa would be nice rn.

Hi there, I’m gonna go on a health retreat for 8 weeks starting next week. It’s pretty remote and they only serve food without added sugar. The main aspect of the retreat is working out every day, but I just realised I’ll go sugar free as a side effect.

There is a supermarket about 1,5 km away, but I’ll try my best not to go there and fall into the trap.

Has anyone else done this ? I wonder if it’s a good thing I’ll be forced to curb my massive addiction or if it’ll be too much.

I can’t remember a time in my life where I’ve gone more than one das without a (mostly several) sweet treat.

I tried to find cheap workout clothes in Uniqlo but all the ones I tried didn’t have a workout selection.

Any recommendations for Osaka or Kyoto?
