I feel like I can actually start living my life

I'm 46, happily married, have an amazing son, and a career. But it's only now that I'm actively losing weight that I feel like I can actually start living my life the way I want to. I can finally start dressing the way I want to. I am finally comfortable learning certain blue collar skills and possible career change. I can start living out loud and be as weird as I want to.

It's frustrating looking back at the last 40+ years and realize that I was so afraid of being myself and standing out because, as a fat person, I just wanted to be invisible.

Judge my routine please

I'm 46 and really just getting in to skin care.

​

My morning routine involves:

*an exfoliating scrubby brush while in the shower

*CeraVe eye cream

*vitamin c serum

*day cream

​

I use CeraVe sunscreen stick whenever I leave the house.

​

My evening routine is:

*CeraVe cream to foam cleaner with a face cleaning wand thingy

*Eye serum

*Retinol serum

*Night cream

​

Obviously I'm a big fan of CeraVe products but I'm open to other brands if it's worth the cost. I tried drunk elephant but I didn't think it was worth the cost.

​

Id love any suggestions for improvements or additions that I can do. My main concern is really just having skin that doesn't look 45.

Questions about upgrading from 4 pin to 7pin connector. Also, tire size.

My camper is built on a 5' x 8' utility trailer and weighs about 2000 lbs fully loaded. It came with a 4 pin connector but want to upgrade to 7 pin so we can those sweet break controls. Is this something we can even do? What does that entail and what kind of place would do that for us?

This is our first anything that we trail (?) so the past two years has been quite a learning curve. Also, I'd love to put larger tires on this so that it has more clearance. Would that cause other problems or is that something reasonable that we can do?

We are currently towing with an Outback but planning on replacing that with a Maverick shortly.

EDIT: While I appreciate everyone's confidence in me, I would not trust anything I installed on the road. I replaced our kitchen light fixtures 3 years ago and am still waiting to see if they start a fire.

Antidepressants less effective?

I've been on compounded tirz for about 3 months. I feel like my antidepressants (bupropeion and desvenlaxafine) have been getting less effective with each increase. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm currently in the "what can I buy that will magically fix myself" phase and it's a struggle

▲ 0 r/Boots

I was somehow lucky enough to get these off ebay for about $70. They are N.D.C. boots and they are amazing. I added the zippers on my own due to several factors including laziness, accessibility, and i like the style.

Before this, my "daily" wear boots were Birkenstocks but after the third time regluing the sole together, i thought it was time for an upgrade.
