I used to be *CRAZY* for milk growing up until puberty, I would drink 4L jugs in 2 days time.... However once i moved in with my dad, there was never milk so I switched to water, so much healthier and better haha. I gained the 20 pounds because I'm stupid and ordered calzones, poutines, pizza, and other sorts of stuff everyday after my birthday on April 27th up until last week when I realized my bank account was going down and my fat was going up. ? Also can't forget all the rum and iced tea I consumed since then too ugh.

Cheese, pasta and bread is also the enemy, even though it's dangerously delicious and hard to resist. I'd much rather carry the extra weight in my purse than on myself, but it's hard when temptation catches my stomach. At least I can put the purse down. Rum is fine, just not too much cuz it kills the liver. Ice tea is perfectly fine so long as it's not southern sweet tea, that stuff is a treat of a drink but so bad with the sugar.

IM NOT GIVING UP CHEESE, PASTA, OR BREAD JUST SAYING LOL. i'll never be perfectly healthy but i will always satisfy myself while trying to stay as healthy as possible too, I'm just not going to gorge on food anymore, and eat a certain amount of calories a day while drinking up to 8L of water lol. 1 & half hour work out keeps me in balance at 190 pounds for 5"11, which is great imo.

I couldn't give up cheese, pasta or bread either, and I'm allergic to wheat and eggs. But 5'11 at 190lbs you doing fine and can eat pretty much whatever, especially after a 1.5 hour work out. That's in part why you work so hard, all the more good things to enjoy. I'm 5'2" and around 170. Lol...?

awww i couldn't imagine being allergic to wheat and eggs, i know everyone has a different tolerance but could you give me an example of what types of food you shouldn't eat? i use to have an ex that was lactose intolerant and it was the first time i dealt with it so i felt bad for not knowing what types of food she liked.

Well most people who are lactose can't have any dairy products at all or the trips to the bathroom can be fairly painful, it could also really mess with their stomach. But now they have milk with the lactose removed called Lactaid, which is fine still taste like milk but it's expensive. There's also hemp milk, oat milk, rice milk, coconut milk and the less suggested Almond milk, mainly cuz you should be careful bout nuts around people who are allergic. Though nuts like shellfish both are a great sources of protein and have many nutritional benefits, some people can have extremely bad reactions that can end with a hospital visit or death if there's no EpiPen quickly administered. I had to take my EpiPen out of my purse cuz it expired and costs too much to replace.? But regular people should all beware their amounts of starches they eat, like corn, potatoes and wheat. Rice is fairly harmless and is the equivalent of package peanuts, except you can eat it. Corn is the worst becoming plastic glue that sticks in your system for a while. Wheat is the second worst, depending on how it's produced and treated, like white wonder bread, it's glue, don't eat. Potatoes aren't as bad, but it's terrible for your teeth, it's recommended you brush after eating potatoes. But everybody should really be careful of too much fish, cuz too much leads to high levels of Mercury build up. Also stay away from ginseng, it's bad for you, might as well stick to Rum, both are toxic and will poison your liver.

 ? thanks for the advice!! Everything else i read was extremely informative!  thank you! I actually thrive on 'glue' foods, it makes it easier for me to digest my sriracha sauce LOL. I guess i'll never be able to satisfy myself on this kind of diet though, i'll just have to resort to working out & buying them whenever I need to cook for someone with LT, but seriously, Thank you for existing, I was born deaf so i know what it's like to leave somebody out of something over something they have no control over at all & it saddens me that people actually leave out people with intolerances during birthdays and such.

Madness. My wife is gluten intolerant. I can still bake her a cake, I just need to be careful about what I put in it. There's a lovely GF bakery a couple of miles from the house where we get supplies. By the same token I'm mildly lactose intolerant (I need to limit my intake or intestinal Armageddon happens), so we're careful about our milk products. Also, neither of us is allergic to nuts so almond milk... which is going to be a BIG part of my meal plan today because my diet plan spat out a low carb day. Bleah.

 

Hugs!

Totally hear you on the Sriracha, that with my coffee intake, I get a hole in my gut each time, but it taste so good. ? I found small Sriracha bottles perfect for purse carrying. Drinking wise, I like having rice or pumpkin beer, sake, vodka, wine, brandy, whiskey(rye), and sambuca(for coffee), and with it only a small piece of cake of either only cheese cake or ice-cream cake. ?Regular cake tastes so good, but it messes my stomach up, and if there are peanuts, it's ruined cuz I'm allergic. But I can have almonds, walnuts, and cashews, so long as they weren't processed in a plant with peanuts or my throat blows up a bit makes it a bit hard to breath. I have an inhaler and allergy medicine I tend to carry but end up needing a small bottle of water sometimes. Use to carry a tiny bottle of sambuca for when I bought coffee but stopped. I liked carrying a tiny bottle of something or once in a blue moon grab a can of Kirin beer or small bottle of sake or something then go to sit quietly and relax in the park. Whiskey is the best for sore throats and clears the sinuses. But haven't had any in over a year. The pandemic just makes me miss it more.?

I saw them on amazon as well! I wanted to get them but it's 15$ for it which i find pretty expensive, so I've been thinking of finding another alternative instead.

ugh i thought i was the only one!! its actually given me a bad taste for them now, maybe its the hormones, or its just a bad experience i had before. Also, i never heard of pumpkin beer omg, that sounds delicious.

I just noticed you're from new york, how are you dealing with things over there?

It's an ever frustrating experience in NY, but staying inside is the best solution for those who can and should. Though there are particular things that make me demon out in anger, cuz it was an epic fail of the world  being reason why I along with millions are stuck with little security of what's to come, and people can be inhumanely selfish, but deep breathes and focus is important to maintain as well as survival. Use to walk for miles but now will have to wait almost a year to hopefully be able to do those adventures outdoors like I use to.

For traveling, I use tinfoil folded into small envelopes or plastic straws cut and folded to make a capsule of sauces, then place into a big mint tin, well cleaned and washed with a small sandwich bag to keep things clean and from spilling out right away in case of accidents. ☺️

Spoken like a true new yorker! Ha! I'm glad you're staying safe and smart!! i couldn't imagine being in NY during this time, That has to be one of the hardest place to live currently. I would have just packed my bags and taken my tent then hitchhike to the middle of nowheres lol. 

I found a small bottle I could use, it's not empty yet though, It's a moisturizer/sunblock but perfect for purse carrying. I'll just wait until i use all of it, rinse super well and then fill it up.

ngl, i tried to do something once, where i took an old spray bottle, unscrewed the top and screwed it onto the sriracha bottle. i was so disappointed to find out it doesn't squirt the sauce at all. it has to be fully liquid i guess? But ugh imagine spraying your sriracha onto the food so it comes out all evenly. It would have been perfect.

?I was tempted, I have gear for it but I'm literally a person at risk even in pure nature sadly. Use to walk for everything anywhere in the city, but now switching to delivery mostly, hurts like hell. Was doing so well with PayPal.

Becareful using bottles that once had moisturizer or sunblock in it, cuz stuff is hard to wash out with chemicals and all. No BPA bottles, BPA is that chemical used in some plastic bottles that's toxic but cheap for production. It's not commonly talked bout cuz it's used practically everywhere even though it's toxic like lead, it only takes a little.

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.
