Need any tips to get motivated to lose weight

Hi all!
I’ve been suffering from major food addiction for I would say about 3-4 years now.

For the past 3-4 years, food has helped me get through multiple accounts of grief, tense family dynamics, depression and anxiety, working a job I hated to pay off debt, quitting that job I’ve hated, quitting drugs, nicotine, coffee and binge alcohol drinking. It’s been the comfort and coping mechanism to get me through a lot. Now that I’m through most of it, it’s a habit that’s holding me back.

I’m currently at the stage where I’m aware it’s my last addiction I need to quit, but I’m struggling. I’m struggling with motivation. I’m struggling to quit it because I can’t go cold turkey. Im struggling because my brain pulls me to sugar.

Any tips would help EXTREMELY helpful!

Do you see flashing lights when your eyes are closed?

When I’m going to bed, and close my eyes to go to sleep I will occasionally see 1 or 2 really bright flashing lights every time my brain is starting to transition to sleep. Imagine a black screen going from black to white to then black again really quickly.
Occasionally when I close my eyes I will start to notice this happen and tend to expect it and ask myself “how bright with the flashing lights be now.?

This morning when I was still asleep, my partner looked at his phone in the dark room and my eyes must have noticed the light through my eyelids and I had 3 flashing lights in a row.
Because I was coming out of sleep it scared me a bit, and felt really intense and longer than what it was.

I’m very certain that these flashing lights weren’t happening prior to starting Strattera. I’m on 18mg.

Should I worry about this….? Are other people experiencing the occasional flashing lights?

Clip Studio Paint - Painting Brushes

Hi all!

I’ve been on a mission to work on my digital painting skills. I find that I haven’t quite found “the brush” yet.

I think I’m looking for 2 brushes.

1- soft fluffy brush, good for the smooth skin.

2- expressive painters brush to add some texture to it.

I find that when I digitally paint I always go into it with:

1 either too soft
2 either too textured

Any brush recommendations would be appreciated!!
Or even just you talking about your favourite brush.
Thanks!

Hi ladies, I need some major help.

For a while my vulva had been smelling really interesting down there after exercise.
It’s a mix of sweet passionfruit and a little bit of cat pee.
If you’ve opened any artificial passion fruit drinks, that is pretty much it smells like.

Please please help me.

I’m currently:

- probiotics in forms of yogurt and yakult
- washing gently down there with very mild soap. Not in my vagina, just between the outer and inner labia.
- I change relatively quickly out of my workout clothes.
- I barely have sex and when we do we use protection.
- ive upped my water intake and drink either 1.5 to 2 L a day.

I just do not know what it could be.
It’s only started happening when I actually started getting back into exercising which was around a year ago.
I had exercised 5 years ago before that and it wasn’t like that. ☹️
