/hb/ - Health & Beauty

Today I was hungry so I ate a 500 calorie sandwich instead of a small pastry or lean protein because I wanted the veggies & meat. Proud of myself for just eating what I feel I need instead of trying to save caloriesfor later.

I realized it's a pretty shitty condition to be in and puts me in a pretty bad spot in the long run, I'm trying to eat more even though it makes me want to puke

>but anorexics don't actually die as soon as you'd think.
actually the stats look pretty bad, there are more news of severely overweight people dying but anorexia has the highest mortality rate out of all disorders out there, like 5-10% dying within 5 years and 20% in 10

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 like using a pen to put it up in a messy bun. As a plus, I also put a few pins (I have one which is beetle shaped :D).
I always feel pretty when I put up my hair like that

That’s super cute, I was thinking of getting a hair stick sometime. You can also use them for self defense if needed!

sorry I insulted your religious beliefs or whatever

I had worse skin than that as teen. More to do with genes than being 22

Wash your face more than three times a week

I think rubbing lemon can help.

Cosrx has a nice blackhead toner/serum or whatever it is. Paula's choice also has a good anti blackhead toner. Some by mi has a good line of products as well. My current skincare routine is the Cosrx good morning gentle cleanser (doesnt dry out the face too much so it wont get too greasy later on), then Some by mi AHA BHA PHA miracle toner (helps against dark spots and pimples A LOT), then Holika Holika 99% aloe gel (is also gentle and absorbs into the skin well) and afterwards I am currently testing out the Miguhara daily herb sun stick (so far it works ok). I normally wouldnt recommend a sunscreen but if yoi want to use the some by mi acid toner like I do it is really necessary. I don't know how your skin is but those are the products I swear by when I feel my face needs work.

Yeah i deal with this too, unfortunately there isn't too much you can do about them. They tend to cycle out every 2 or 3 months. Going to a doctor will just have them prescribe you some bc that will give you more negative side effects than positive ones so i wouldn't waste the money unless it feels too bad to ignore.
There are some home remedies that can help such as castor oil and heat. I also drink natural tumeric tea to reduce inflamattion, neither are going to solve the problem but it helps.
I think the only way to reduce them cropping up is to change your diet and drink less alcohol. I would personally avoid doing any super strenous activity when one has been bothering you cause a rupture is NOT fun. Sorry you are dealing with this nona

>unfortunately there isn't too much you can do about them.

i don't know what you can do them once you have them (besides douching with herbal tea that is) but there is a lot you can do not to get them in the first place. the cyst just like a face-pimple is just the place where the lymph system accumulated the overcapacity. if you had a functioning lymph system, the stuff that has accumulated would have been flushed out of you, since it was not flushed out, it bottlenecked somewhere.

every time you eat garbage from the factory that the human body can not digest reasonably, it will overburden your lymphatic system. if you then not use your body enough, the muscles will not pump the lymph around so that it can be flushed out and it will stay inside.

i currently only exercise only once or twice a week for a little bit but i eat very clean and fruitfast once a year so this is unlikely to happen to me. completely unnecessary suffering, op. handle yow bidness!

pretty but they are too much upkeep + real human hair is an evil business so no thank you.

I have a set of lobe piercings stretched to 4g. I love wearing stone and glass earrings. I've considered getting a second ear piercing but haven't got around to doing it. Other types of piercings look good on other people but I don't think those are for me.

yesss! i have ears stretched to 6mm, septum stretched to 3mm, a nostril ring, and a smiley. getting a lip piercing soon too!

I love body stitching ^^

Has anyone else ever tried it?

This one!!

>it's just expensive and will take a while to heal
It doesn't take long at all but it's pure agony for a few days.
Did you end up doing it?

hormonal birth control

birth control like a mirena or a liletta IUD should work. go to a doctor and check for endometriosis.

most likely optional and lifestyle related. eating fruit and douching with herbal tea (called 'heal all tea') is what i'd do.

nikki. yaz. whatever it's called. i feel you. i had the worst cystic acne and horrible periods and yaz actually made my life normal. minimal weight gain as well. stay strong soldier.

Maybe try out a bunch of random medications and see what is working best for you. God knows just dealing with its out the question. Perhaps tho you can ask ur doc to get an operation to have whatever veins are responsible for ur blushing to be removed

Do you have rosacea?

>>22594
no, it's mostly anxiety/fear of blushing.

>I have a problem where I blush excessively as I get super anxious.
I do a sport that requires a helmet, so I think makeup is out of the question. I tried self tanner but it made it look worse. There will be cute women there and it’s hard to not get nervous and start blushing a ton.

just be graceful about it. no need to be ashamed. no need to hide it.

>I also randomly get nervous and blush excessively. What do you nonas recommend I do? Maybe this belongs in feels but I don’t think so because I’m looking for a medical solution

i don't have a medical solution for you. whether you like it or not, your body is constantly visualizing what is going on in your life. your habits and your feelings mostly. if i was you i would try skating or dancing in some way, because physical expression in dance or skate is the antidote to shame.

i say the problem is that you are convinced that it is a problem. love yourself the way you are and others will join.

if you're a white person i hate to say it's not gonna stop. being paler + having those blood vessels closer to the face will cause red cheeks. just embrace it. i actually do my blush were my redness naturally shows up, i think it makes me not look like a ghost lmao

I hate this Leon. He looks like he couldn't cope with his twink death and resorted to plastic surgeries. Idk why everyone is so hype about him.

>>21976
>I remember absolutely nothing about his personality or backstory tbh.
That's because he has neither of those things. His backstory is that he's a police officer from raccoon city. His personality is making quips (in RE4).

>>22507
I feel the same way. That's another reason why Chris is the better RE protag, he aged gracefully.

>>22507
If you like men, you have to admit they have to hit a wall. I'm 35 and I think the nee Leon is a dilf.

I managed to fix my nail biting habit by using anti-biting nail polish, it made them taste awful and after a few weeks I'd basically stopped doing it

I stopped biting my nails in my teens when I got grossed out by pieces of nails getting stuck in my teeth lol

in my experience, a simple gel polish manicure (just color, no design or acrylics) would last me around 2-3 weeks, sometimes longer depending how tempted i was to pick and bite the polish off. obviously it will last longer if you don't do what i did. you can get your manicure redone even if the nail polish is intact though for long term nail health i am not sure if it'd be healthy. if you want acrylics, i've heard the shortest they will last is around 1 week and the longest is 4 weeks but it depends on your nail tech i guess, since acrylics and press ons stay longer when you have clean nails and cuticles pushed back. for just a gel manicure i'd pay roughly 50-80 dollars when i still got them done, i've never gotten acrylics or any fancy designs so i have no idea how much they cost. i'd recommend saving money if this is too expensive for you.

I'm on my way to buy nail polish for the first time in years. I hope I can actually paint both hands nicely.

Just dont chew them. But thats probably only half as unhygienic as fake nails, those things are disgusting
