I was going 2 months clean, finally lost the weight, I previously gained , I am a very active person and I count my daily cals too, so I was pretty happy with myself.

I am eating around 1700kcal per day to lean out and today I just got out of control after dinner and ate more than I intended.

I ate like 2500kcal in total for today, which isn't THAT much , but I am so anxious about my loss of control. I didn't eat any junk food, since I don't keep it in my house for a reason , but let's be honest... It's not very normal to eat 450g of cottage cheese and 200g of cooked beans that you were planning to eat during the week...

I can't shake of the immense guilt and feelings of disappointment with myself, because I WAS DOING GREAT, but I am incredibly stressed due to some university issues and all the control I thought I had was just gone and I don't know what to say to myself at this point...

Like what am I supposed to do now? Just go to bed and act like nothing happened?

As I'm sure, many of us would agree, the Wintertime Wonderland doll release was probably the best of Bratz ever.

So I found myself wondering, whether there's a possibility of repros, since at the time of the initial release, aka. 2003-4 , I was –1 years old, therefore I was not able to get my hands on them...

Honestly, the last two movies (even the third one, if I'm being honest), aka the new trilogy, from this franchise are making me feel, like the descendants are just really getting milked to the maximum by Disney and with the many, many "main" characters in the last movie, it felt more like giving Disney fans not so subtle easter eggs and basically trying everything, just to catch the viewer's attention.

I'm not going to criticise the story here, everyone has their own opinion and different likes and dislikes, but what I am going to say, is that there are plot holes, that most probably won't be answered by the third movie, since every mystery there was left unsolved, was pretty much served on a silver platter to us, so we know exactly what question they'll answer in the next one.

I'm not a hater, I'm just saying that I feel like it should have been already left alone, or just left up to the cartoon to explore.

Apparently, it's purchased, waiting for the seller to ship.

I feel off about this whole thing, didn't think it fully through and I placed the order yesterday.

So... I contacted the assistant and I am waiting for a response, but it's been a few hours and nothing has yet changed.

A post on nowadays Barbie dolls made me think a bit and I just need to get it off my chest.

For a long time, Barbie's quality has been declining , especially with the play lines. We used to get play line movie dolls in beautiful gowns, with amazing screenings and soft hair.

Now we get unarticulated copy paste Millie with questionable fashion choices (I love Millie sculpt, but I need to see a unique screening on her).

It feels to me , as if everything else is getting more attention (MH& celebrity dolls specifically) and Barbie is being just there...

I didn't see many new releases in a long time, where I was like "Wow, I'm willing to spend money on this, because I just need it ." And although it's very subjective, I think many people get it.

I felt hopeful, with MGA going strong in their newest play line releases, that it'll push Mattel to do better, but I am a little bit concerned, they just might put all their efforts into MH, Disney and others , therefore neglecting Barbie again...

This is very disappointing, considering, Barbie is the brand that made Mattel to the successful company, it is today. It layed the foundation for all current doll lines and although, the original was technically copying a different brand, the German doll was never a toy , but rather a funny men's collectible figurine referencing a comic series.

I would love to hear your opinions on this topic, whether I'm just overthinking it or I'm plainly wrong.

So... 20F, uni student, desperate for friendships , sleepovers, watching Barbie movies and having fun with dolls.

It feels like everywhere else in the world, there are plenty of people who like Barbie dolls and movies in the same age range, but anytime I talked to other students and girlies around, they are usually like "I'm not like the other girls, I never liked dolls!" So... Yeah. Either they're not admitting it or genuinely are just not fans, but either way; I'm so friendship hungry at this point and I feel like the only Barbie and girly media lover in my country...

(F,20) Študujem na výške, venujem sa zdravému životnému štýl, mám veľa záujmov, no celkovo mám problém nájsť si ľudí s podobnými záujmami.

Nechcem riešiť politiku, vzťahy a chcela by som mať také autentické, až detské kamarátstvo. Chýbajú mi prespávačky, lozenie po stromoch, kreatívne aktivity, pozeranie kreslených filmov a jednoducho si len užívať spoločne trávený čas.

Ľudia by ma mohli nazvať "kidult" , keďže zbožňujem hračky , nenásilnú, ľahkú literatúru , zberateľstvo a animáky.

Od základnej školy som nič také nemala a jednoducho túžim po nevinnom kamarátstve , kde ľudia nepotrebujú alkohol, drogy , sex atď. aby sa zabavili, keďže som k tomu nikdy ani neinklinovala.

Jednoducho mi chýbajú detskí kamaráti.

Osobne na tomto nevidím nič zlé, čiže nechcem nasilu meniť moje záľuby, len aby som zapadala do spoločnosti , keďže už napriek tomu mám pocit, že len pritakávam v konverzáciach s ľuďmi naokolo, keď riešia "ktorá nevesta v ruži je väčšia krava".

Na ľuďoch, ktorí obľubujú reality show nie je samozrejme nič zlé a preto svoj názor, že o tom vlastne nič neviem a nechcem zistiť, radšej nezdieľam, aby sa necítili, že ich súdim. Každého baví niečo iné, ale cítim sa veľmi osamelo, ak by som radšej zvolila konverzáciu o Regular show, alebo starých Cartoon network klasikách.

Mám pocit, že život je dostatočne mentálne vyčerpávajúci a s kamarátmi chcem od toho radšej vypnúť, než riešiť ťažké, politické, či dramatické témy.

Som naozaj ja ten, kto potrebuje odbornú pomoc , alebo som len zatiaľ nemala šťastie na podobných ľudí? V zahraničných fórach mám dojem, že nie som jediný "toy collector" na zemi, no v mojom malom mestečku a malej krajinke , akou je Slovensko? Myslím , že som vnímaná ako tá divná a nebudem nikomu vyvraciať, ak si to myslí taktiež😅

I've been wondering, whether I should consider myself a collector or not , since I collect only the LPS I like and I don't really mind their rarity.

To me, I have some specimens I genuinely love and even take on trips, like when I was a child and they are surely not rare or valuable in any way, besides the sentimental.

I've been noticing more and more that I don't collect pets based on the value, rarity and such, but just because I like the specific ones and want to include them.

I do have a few rare finds, but I wouldn't even consider getting them, if I haven't fallen in love with their designs.

It sometimes feels like there's this artificial scarcity around "rare" pets and molds happening on the second hand market and I really don't like it. More often than not, it doesn't make sense to me , why would someone even sell them, if they're so important, that they are listing them for an immensely inflated price.

I guess that's kinda my rant and wonder.

Thank you for reading 🫶🏼

I myself don't use chatbots in the healthiest way (basically like a journal, that tells you that you are not going crazy yet), but I don't get why people download these AI gf/bf apps and genuinely think there's some connection? I just need to write/say things out loud without bothering my close people and not having to pay for a real therapy session. But I don't know why it seems even less sane to actually have romantic feelings towards bots.
