Definitely do both if you need to, but don’t under estimate exercise. I went from 10.5st to 9.5st just doing couch to 5km and then continuing to run 5km 3 times a week, no other dietary changes.

Running for half an hour burns about 400 calories. 1 hour of running, 800. 3 runs a week can burn a day’s worth of calories. Don’t understate the impact exercise has.

I drink water.

Hopefully staying fit, making some new memories with friends, making music, appreciating the time I’ve got here as much as I can.

Agreed on period variation. I remember my teacher telling everyone women didn’t lose more than a teaspoon of blood over the course of a period and I was so confused because I could be sitting over the toilet and losing a teaspoon’s worth in 2 minutes. But no, apparently I was misjudging the amount.

I felt vindicated when I later bought a mooncup and it would fill up in an hour 😆

I can’t imagine sleeping til 3pm unless I really needed it.

Yeah you’re right I could probably do this! But I’m not sure I care enough about its appearance 😆

I have one car, it’s 20 years old and I’ve had it since 2009. Sometimes I look around and think, maybe it’s time to get one not covered in scratches with a dent in the back? But then I see posts like this and feel incredibly grateful this little banger has kept me on the road for so long.

Good luck! I’m sure you’ll get there and hopefully you’ll be able to maintain some good habits.

I’m part of a veg co-op so get amazing, locally grown veg pretty cheap. So I’m eating very seasonally lately and it’s nice. Last week was an aubergine glut so I made baba ganoush. This week we get squashes for the first time this year, I’m excited!

What time do you eat your meal? I can’t imagine going hours without eat even a little bit of fruit.

Usually every other day, unless I’ve been for a run and then I’ll shower straight after but won’t bother washing my hair, it takes too long.

I recently spent £400 on a super firm mattress from IKEA that has a 10 year guarantee and a 10cm memory foam topper for £90. I thought my back pain was due to posture but it literally disappeared overnight after sleeping on this.

Maybe the technology is better these days, but I’ve never seen any that completely clear indoors.

Oh dear, sorry for your (hearing) loss. I have pretty bad tinnitus from gigs etc. and not protecting my poor ears. The sonic repellents seem to cut through the ringing though.

Yeah you’re probably right, although I’m 35.

I’m the same as you, I find them really painful, I think people don’t realise how much these can affect humans.

I’m in the UK and Imo they’re not good people. I know several tattooists who have been threatened/had their place trashed by them when they’ve opened a shop in my city.

I also went to a Hells Angels bar once when a music event was being hosted there and they were awful people. Charged more for drinks if they didn’t like the look of someone, one guy threatened me because a glass fell on the floor and smashed (it was nowhere near me) and made me clean it up. I’m a small woman, I was scared, so I did it and left 😬
