Balanced breakfast ideas for picky eaters?

i‘m not having the best of luck finding breakfast meals that I i‘d like.. I’ve been eating two chocolate chip waffles and an energy drink everyday for breakfast for the past year. Though it’s delicious, I feel left out by everyone else eating aesthetic breakfast steaks, eggs, and a glass of wine for breakfast. My lunch and dinners are healthy and balanced, but my breakfast option isn’t.

Any ideas?

Here’s some foods that I don’t like if that helps.

Greek yogurt, granola, rice cakes, eggs, pancakes, toast, oatmeal, bananas, berries, bacon, sausage, cereal, peanut butter, oats, nuts, cottage cheese, spinach, beef, bagels, milk, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, green onion, tomatoes, smoothies, tofu, egg whites, salmon, feta cheese.

Musty smell when working out during my cycle

I strength train 3x a week, and other days I’m walking and jogging until I reach 10k steps. Unfortunately, my period is strong and it stinks like hell. On top of that, my vagina is just funky in general, everyday is a battle with chronic BV and yeast infections that me and gynecologists have been trying to solve since I was a kid.

I can smell myself through thick cotton sweatpants and I leave a trail of sweaty, funky cooch behind me. I wear pads, I don't feel comfortable wearing tampons, and of course during my workouts I’m dripping in sweat all over. The heat and moisture from having thicker thighs, legs closed and rubbing together for an hour, a pad, underwear, and bottoms on is super uncomfortable and makes me even more sweaty down there and intensifies my horrific musty acidic smell I have.

Yes, I could just not workout during my cycle, but I’m currently in school and I have a fitness class that requires me to keep it moving. Regardless of working out, wearing a pad, underwear, and pants in general just makes me smell like a homeless shelter down there. Nobody talks about these things so I feel like I’m the only girl in the world who smells worse during their periods. I’ve actually been thinking about birth control for over a year now to stop my period. The smell is like a mixture of a little bit of everything, I literally fill up a public restroom with the smell of vagina, that’s how pungent it is.

How do you celebrate your birthday alone as an adult?

I’m about to be 20, I moved out of my mom’s the beginning of this year and cut her and my whole family off due to some personal reasons. I don’t have any friends, it’s literally just me and my apartment. My birthday is July 11th, and I‘m JUST now realizing... For the first time, I won’t be celebrating my birthday. I would love to, but it would be awkward taking myself out since I’ve never done that before, and I feel like I’m so new to life, living alone and no more guidance. I think I would enjoy my birthday if I was in a relationship or had a group of good friends. It’s kinda sad.

Also, It’s such a big goal in life for me, to be a wife and start a family, but I don’t even know where to begin.

Genital hsv at 15.

I was diagnosed with HSV last year when I was 15, but I probably had it some years before I was diagnosed because the bumps, burning, stinging were all present. I just didn’t feel comfortable telling my mother about my problems down there. I’m still pretty uneducated about my situation, I just did a little research and apparently it’s not curable. I don’t even know if I should cry right now, I guess reality is kinda hitting me that I have to deal with this forever and marriage is one of my biggest goals in life and having HSV is super inconvenient since I’m celibate. Who would want to be with someone who’s contagious?

I’m a virgin, I never had anyone touch me down there, it’s just me and my single mom, so I’m still confused on how I got herpes.

Reoccurring bumps, burning and stinging down there.

I don’t know why this is happening, and I don’t know whats causing it, but I have these big lumpy bumps like the ones you get on your lower legs after a mosquito bites you- on my labia. I have a lopsided labia, where one labia is extremely large, saggy, wrinkly, stretchy, and the other is super small, smooth, youth like, and overall just normal. The lumps are located all over my large labia. They BURN AND STING!!! IT‘S SO PAINFUL. This stinging sensation is also all over the opening of my vagina, but no bumps and lumps are present around my opening. i can’t even touch down there without it burning and stinging soooooo bad. Any air swooshing down there also causes it to sting. water, soap, I couldn’t even wash my area this morning because it all causes it to sting extremely bad.

A little backstory on this, I’ve been having issues down there for almost a decade. especially with my large labia, at least once a year it randomly starts getting bumpy, painful or itchy, stinging, etc. I have been seen many, many, many gynecologists over the years and I’ve been put on fluconazole, or sent out the door and told “it’s normal”. These doctors are sending me to other clinics because they don’t even know what’s wrong with me. I’m not positive for Yeast or BV, though I smell terrible! Every single day for years my vagina has been smelling absolutely horrific. I don’t know what to do anymore, they can’t test me for certain things because I’m a minor, and they can’t take a look at my cervix because my hymen hasn’t even broke yet.

I have this strong decaying flesh scent, apple cider vinegar and pungent musty odor down there. I ask family and close friends if they also have problems down there and everyone says their vagina has never smelt before. I do have an appointment at a new clinic to get tested again and more opinions on my situation but it’s not until next month. It’s just the same thing over again, a new doctor every three months because the previous person doesn’t know what else to do.

Is second-hand smoke affecting me?

My Mother smokes about 10 times a day, probably more, and the sessions are like 30 minutes long. I’m not sure what she smokes, but whatever it is, it’s impacting me. She starts first thing in the morning at 6am, and keeps going on and off until midnight. It’s a very strong smell that lights up the whole house and goes into our rooms. After a few minutes of smelling it, I get very sleepy and doze off.

Im not a sleepy person either, I don’t take naps, I naturally have a bunch of energy and need to be doing something productive. But smelling that smoke has me in a deep sleep within minutes . It’s very annoying, As much as I asked her to quit smoking as a kid, she didn’t stop. The smell is terrible too, it used to give me terrible headaches, shortness of breath and made my eyes burn. I guess over the decade, I’ve gotten a little used to it- though sometimes i still get a bad headache.

Whatever she’s smoking, probably has people thinking I’m on some powder the way I be leaned over in chairs sleep. I guess I kinda answered my own question..

Terrible morning vagina smell

In the morning, my vagina, I kid you not, smells like the inside of a casket at a funeral home. My discharge has a strong apple cider vinegar scent, that shoots up into my nose every time I sit down. By the end of the day my underwear smells like cat piss and apple cider vinegar. And no, I don’t drizzle in my panties, they’re completely dry but they still smell so bad after wearing them.

I always take two showers a day, morning and night. When I wake up I just smell like death. I don’t understand how other women are able to take a shower ONCE at night and go about their day in the morning??

I’ve seen five gynecologists last year, they all just put me on fluconazole and amp up the dosage every time I come back. They’ve recommended me some pills from AZO, which actually made my discharge change from thick, pasty and white, to normal, clear and stretchy. I also didn’t wake up smelling terrible. But that only lasted for a week before my vagina went back to smelling bad and my discharge went back thick, white, and smelly. So that lets me know it’s a deeper issue that a probiotic can’t solve.

It’s just really frustrating dealing with this, I can’t even go grocery shopping without leaving a trail of coochie behind me. The crotch of my pants scent burns my nose hairs.

I. Can’t. Control. Myself.

I recently discovered chocolate rice cakes. I wish I hadn’t. I’ve seen many people eat these rice cakes as a pre workout. I tried them just to see what the hype was all about.

Oh my goodness i‘m addicted. I stay in a 1,000cal deficit but lately I haven’t been eating lunch or dinner, just breakfast and the rest of the day is over 700 cal worth of these chocolate rice cakes. Today I went grocery shopping and picked up three bags of these cakes 🤦‍♀️. Guess who’s skipping dinner again tonight because she has no self control. I promise myself after my three bags of cakes are gone, I can no longer purchase these cakes again!

How do you make the most out of your 20s?

Everyone keeps telling me “live life to the fullest” “I wish I was your age” “go outside and enjoy life while you‘re young!” etc, but how?

I just graduated and I’m in college now and this is just depressing. I have bills, bills, bills, my whole entire life is school and work. Every other girl is out in Miami, Atlanta, Hollywood, shaking ass, doing a full face of makeup, at the beach, rocking designer purses, getting with the finest guys, etc. And here I am. with no time in the day but to sleep.

I just feel like I’m wasting time, I feel so insecure, I feel so sad everyday. I‘m faking confidence, smiles, I just want a genuine happy life. I don’t think I’m even going to be a wife one day. I feel like I don’t have a life ahead of me. Everyone has so much money to travel and enjoy their 20s, I can’t even do that. The extra money I do have goes into investing, Roth IRA and a HYSA. I hate my life.

like, this is really it, work til the day I die. what a curse being alive

Today’s treat. I wish it was a bag of chips.

total calories : 182.

I peel off a slice of the mandarin and dip-scoop it into the Greek yogurt 😋. Greek yogurt tastes so bad on its own. I’ll pair this snack with a Alani energy drink to feel bougie.

I did some weird devastating things in first grade

I hit puberty in first grade, ever since then my libido has been sky rocketed through the roof 24-7. I’ve never told anyone this but i knew about sex at a really young age, i‘m talking kindergarten, and i’ve been masturbating since then too. It used to be really bad, I remember it was multiple times a day I stayed in the bathroom for hours touching myself as a kid, but after a while it got boring and I needed something more. I’ve been watching porn since about first grade, and was introduced to the male genitals from those websites, which just drove me insane as a kid and now was craving dick. Mind you this is first grade/second grade. Long story short, my mother was dating a Co worker at the time, I would see him very often, my mom took me to work with her after picking me up from school. I loved him as a kid, he was always so happy, we watched tv together, all that fun stuff, but as time went on, I started to look at him as my own boyfriend. I was definitely in second grade by this time. One day my mom forgot something at the job so she went back in and it was just me and her boyfriend in the car. I remember this like it was yesterday.. I dont remember everything I said but I know I told this man how I felt about him, and I said “maybe we can have sex sometime“. I remember he was deeply disturbed, he gave me a short pet talk and told me that it’s not okay, and he was going to tell my mom about what I said, etc. He was so disturbed that he told my mom he didn’t want her to drive him home anymore and that he’ll get someone else to pick him up. I don’t know if he actually told my mom what I said, he stepped out the car and had a smoke, you really could tell that his whole mood shifted, I’ve never seen him without a smile on his face until that night. Not too long after that he broke up with my mom, my mom cried so hard I remember it vividly. again, I’m not sure if he ever told my mom what happened. I remembered being very upset in the backseat after he rejected my offer, I was so upset, but also a little scared that my mom would find out what I said. You’d think I’d stop talking to grown men after that, but I’m not sure what was wrong with me as a kid but It didnt stop. I wanted sex so bad as a kid that i remember telling my school friends that I wished a man would kidnap me and do those types of horrible things if you catch my drift. There was something very wrong with me back then, It only got worse when I got my first iPhone, I was texting older boys, probably sending photos. My mom caught me numerous times, going through my phone, but I always found a new way to hide messages. Or when she took my phone away I knew where it was and went back to texting men while she was away. Or times when it got really bad, she would take my phone and computer away for like a year, but when I was able to get it back, I would go back to texting. It was so bad that my mom kinda gave up and tried to get family members to help me and warn me about how dangerous this stuff actually is, but I was just too horny all the time to listen. Now I’m older, my libido still is touching the moon, that’s never changed, though I’m able to control it better and understand what has gotten me so horny, and go do something productive to lessen the feelings. I think it’s an undiagnosed Hyper sexual disorder or something. I’m just so glad no man has agreed to having sex with me as much as I’ve begged them to as a kid. I’ve matured, heavily. I regret a lot of what I’ve done as a child, I can’t erase the past, only accept it and grow from it, Only God knows how much I’ve grown, but there was something terribly wrong with me as a child. Terrible.. terrible.. terrible. I literally have stories for days.
