>This isn't the point of my post. The point of my post is I'm wondering if I even have an eating disorder if I can't arse myself to lose weigh most of the time.

eating disorder is a modern description. someone came up with this term very recently and before you blindly accept the validity of this concept you might want to investigate if this thing you were clearly culturally trained to worry about could have been around for much longer and exists from other points of view. because then you'd be inclined to wonder if this perspective of "eating disorder" even makes sense in contrast to better concepts that describe the situation more clearly and more accurately.

i am saying when you wonder if you have an eating disorder, find out what the people who invented the term believe to be "orderly" eating.

find out how people eat and why and compare it to how you are eating.

I watch a lot of food related content both normal and disordered and I eat like a normal person pretty much. I tried eating low calorie foods that "trick" you into feeling full or so the ed people said, but it doesn't work on me.
I don't eat like a pig but low calorie versions of food mostly taste disgusting or bland.

>>23062
>tried eating low calorie foods
>low calorie

other then calorie (which measures how good something burns), what else could be important about a food when it comes to the way it affects the weight of your body? i have way more stupid questions that i hope you bother to think about: like what is food?

>>23062
>I eat like a normal person pretty much.
that means you look at what other people are eating and mimic them and let them dictate reality to you. that's unfortunate.

>juice fasting
yep, the wellness schizo is back

oh, no wonder their replies are deranged and don't address my problem at all lmao

I've looked into birth tourism for fun and there are companies who offer an all-included visa solution for 20k USD to give birth in somewhere like Miami, US. They don't really seem to complain much about whatever Trump's been doing. I guess the border people don't care as long as you don't seem to bail without paying for medical services. I think this is kinda funny tbh.

They’re asking me to donate piss at the women’s clinic to help women with reproductive issues.

I think I actually saw a guy driving a cart with like 15 bags of probably urine out of the biolab.

I’m about to be 16 weeks and the nausea seems to be finally leaving, as well as the depressive mood. The first trimester is actually a horrible experience. I felt sick all the time.

i can't wait for the third!!!

I want hair down to my hips, but it seems to stop progressing in length once it gets around the bottom of my shoulder blades. Is it just genetics? What's stopping it?

>>23041
It's genetics, I wanted my hair long too and didn't cut it for mroe than 5 years with no progress.
Basically your hair goes through 3 stages of growth. Active growth, plateau, and shed. The length of your active growth stage determines how long your hair will be.
The best thing you can do is maintain your ends and make sure you have as little hair damage as possible, damaged and thinned put ends make your hair seem shorter. You can also try extensions but they ruin your real hair.

>>23047
Thank you for your reply! I haven't tried frequent maintenance, only a hands off approach, so I'll give some attention to my ends a soon; extensions have never crossed my mind and I think I'll stay away from them, considering what you said. I love excessively long hair more in theory, but I'm grateful for what I've got

>>23053
I'm happy to help, I'm still obsessed with unusually long hair unfortunately lol

>>23047

Halo extensions don't attach to your hair at all so they're really gentle. I just made my own using human hair bundles and clear bracelet string and they're really comfortable considering they're 26in/66cm (starting at ear level).

One of the teeth on my bottom row isn't as straight as the others so it stands out when you can see my teeth

>Are your teeth healthy?
Technically no, but people didn't understand why I was scheduled for braces as a child when I told them. I have an overjet/bite and crowding, but it's disguised somehow by the fact that my top set isn't terribly wonky. My teeth seem normal enough at first glance really, excluding the top teeth protruding, but they're not in the right place. One side of my jaw is stronger than the other - my bite is uneven - which I think has led to negative impacts all over the right plane of my face, including my eyes.
I've also had a filling in the top of my front tooth, and I dislike the feeling as I'm reminded of walls that have been filled and painted over. I'll forever know the damage is there, despite the disguise, which bothers me slightly even when it should be forgettable.
I couldn't bring myself to wear the gear needed pre-braces, as the chunks were huge. The dentist said my overjet/bite was the biggest he'd ever seen. I got upset and decided I couldn't bring myself to continue the humiliation of wearing it anyway (someone at school made fun of me), so I gave up. I regret quitting now, as the process is no longer free - I was waiting for ages on the list - and covid happened right after which would've eased the embarrassment due to being indoors, but whatever.
I have a thing for teeth and really love aesthetic photographs of them, so if I had a nice pair I'd never stop appreciating the fact. I guess it just wasn't meant to be, yet I still hope in the future that it'll work out. If anything can come out of this vent, I hope it encourages anyone who has the opportunity for teeth correction to go through with it no matter what, regardless of the awkwardness, cost, or difficulities.

What do nonas think of young Clint Eastwood?

You're in the wrong thread, but, would.

Has anyone got invisalaign? Particularly at an older (30+) age. I can afford it now and wonder if it makes a huge difference. I’ve always had yellow janky teeth even if I brush 2x a day.

If you have the confidence to learn how to style wigs, I'd look into that. You don't need to remove all of your natural hair if it's thin enough to tie down and hide. Look into your magnesium and iron levels. Manage insulin resistance. I don't know if this is relevant to your particular issue but it's worth a try, I wish you the best ♥︎

try and get an oral minoxidil script instead of applying it topically. i’m so sorry you’re going through this:( i’m suffering from traction alopecia right now and it is seriously killing my self esteem

>a hair transplant is not something that I can afford
The good thing is that you know what is coming so you can start saving for something like that when the time comes. Not ideal at all but baldness is that thing not even moids have been able to solve for themselves.

>born ugly

seeing it this way does not help you. humans have the ability to change themselves in astonishing ways if they know how and can overcome the gravity of their habits. you can not choose your starting point in life but you can choose which direction to go; if you are piloting your plane and not being on autopilot that is. if you keep letting yourself be unconsciously seduced into doing things that aren't in your best interest just because they satisfy some unimportant craving in the moment, then nothing will change and the autopilot will fly you towards being sick and ugly.

you can choose to fly the airplane of your life towards beauty and health and i hope you do and i wish you luck in case you decide to.

Oh god my hair looks like this. It used to be so full and lush. I am on a topical and oral treatment and I realllly hope it works. I dont wanna look like my dad :(

look up lightweight/ light coverage foundations or look into skin tints or bb creams. Hell even tinted spf can give light coverage.

I want to eat those crayons

just accept it its not a big deal

>>23022
ok that's obviously chalk

Snort a fat line of smarties to seem cool

Nose tape and contour

I know the struggle, 170cm, while trying to look like internet women, ive changed my diet to ~700 and my weight stabilized at 54kg, and if i eat 200 calories more everyday i gain weight at the end of the week.
Also, you should fast and cut water for a day if you want an anywhere near accurate measurement as most of your weight is water, and good to remind to respect your RDI to the best of your ability when minimizing calories.

I caught a really bad cold but I need to eat a lot and it seems to have finally broken my calorie counting habit.

I went out for breakfast and put butter and jam on my toast! It was so good!

I’ve had anorexia, a bmi under 15 and no period for 5 years now (17 to 22). I was able to pick up studying 2 years ago and accomplished my dream of studying abroad in Japan. I thought everything would be different in a new country. But it is not. I still eat the same meals everyday, but most of all, money has become my biggest trigger. I’ve developed such a fear of spending and food is obviously included, to the point where I was able to add more carbs instead of protein in my diet, etc. Although I live off natto, tofu, soba, moyashi & saladayu I still feel guilty as fuck for spending anything. And I now feel even worse about my macros. I have no joy in life, I am completely isolated and I don’t have that dream of Japan that was driving me to survive in the past. I am so fucking sad. No other way to put it.

Tell me that I’m not the only loser who associated control of calories and money. I’m at complete loss. Fuck I am so sad.

I just want to feel joy again.

MI HECKIN DESU ANIME GIRL CULTURE SO FUGGEN GEMMY

Think it comes with some health issues, else would be seen as 100% positive

I’m really short; I wish I were at least 5.4tf tall, but I’m only 5ft. Most people are quite patronizing toward me and think it’s cute, but I feel insecure and defenseless. However, I think if a girl is very tall and thin, it would be cool to take a chance and try being a runway model; apparently, agencies aren't that demanding about facial beauty—they actually appreciate a more "exotic" look—so I would definitely give it a try.

Yeah, no.

Nobody online bothers to research the history of different jfashion styles anymore, they just buy a bunch of shit off shein or temu and put on ugly makeup and if you dare even give them advice they throw a bitchfit about how fashion shouldn’t have rules and you are against self expression blablablah.

>>22536
Honestly.
I feel like the jirai comm is one of the worst, people online LOVE to just make things up about it kek
worry about your ugly untucked shein blouse before telling ppl in tiktok comment sections what u think is and isn't jirai

>>22536
It’s like watching colonization happen in real time. Once you let all the tourists in, they trash what was pure and attempt to change everything about it so they can let more of their people in who have no respect for tradition. It’s a loop that happens to every sub-fashion that gains popularity, and the people who were originally there give up and move to some other community that isn’t infested with larps

>>22541
And those tourists act like they know more about jfashion than you as if their knowledge isnt purely tiktok based and as if you haven’t been into jfashion for way longer than them. I’ve seen so much lies spread about different jfashions and their history by newbies who learned about them through tiktok. So tiring

i wish guys here even had a sliver of style these guys have
