I've been up for 4 hours has princess woken up from her beauty sleep ?

is someone a princess for needing sleep? o.O

I was teasing , she likes it when I tease her .

Aussiebloke, I thought your low self-esteem meant you thought you deserved no attention? If you're desperate I could throw my pretty princess crown at you.

Also, f**k all you morning people and f**k mornings. I will be so glad when I finish this course I'm doing and have some spare time for relaxation and sleep.

Your one of those are you ? now that I'm nearly 100 % recovered from severe anxiety and panic disorder I hope to find a grave yard shift , that way during normal business hours I can laugh at the lame O's working 9-5 it will be like I'm on holiday! That and I want to keep the symbol of hope and peace with company (dove)
Their amazing !

Oh no, I am not a morning person. I would love the graveyard shift.
That's awesome that you've nearly recovered from the anxiety and panic disorder. How'd you do that?

A developing country? That sounds like we're a 3rd world country.

I am Australian, and let me tell you, being Australian is a great thing to be.

(We even have running water and paved roads and stuff like that. My house has doors! My bedroom doesn't, though. It did, but it kept falling off its runners and onto my head, so I replaced it with a sheet tied across the doorway.)

....

Now I will try being serious.

Unfortunately, it is just like that in Australia.




Yeah, I have noticed that. I think that not fitting into a box is one way to questioning the assumptions that society makes about people and their roles, and society's tendency to say "If you are x, then you are also y".

I think that associating with people who don't fit into those boxes is another way of realising that people are far more complex than the stereotypes that people use to navigate the world, and that once you see how limiting and harmful the stereotypes can be, the more inclined you are to question them. It probably works the other way, too: if stereotypes work in your favour, you are less likely to question them.

I've also noticed that people are more prone to putting people into boxes if they are in an outgroup relative to them: for example, men vs women, rich vs poor, white vs black, etc. Being friends or associating in some way with people from the outgroup, I find, helps people to realise that they are people who are just as complex as themselves, and that the boxes that people put them in are limiting and really very silly: for example, I have brothers and male friends, so I'm not inclined to come out with nonsense like "boys shouldn't cry" or "men are pigs" (apart from that one time, but to be fair, my little brother had just eaten an entire packet of biscuits in one day), and my brothers have female friends, so they don't come out with stuff like "women can't do x" or "women belong in the kitchen". Similarly, I'm poor, my parents are/were poor, but since I went to university, I've mixed with people who were far more well-off than me, whereas my father associated mainly with working-class people, so he was more likely than me to see all rich people as evil, grasping and greedy. We had heated debates about it.

If people could be encouraged to get to know people who are different than they are, I think it would benefit society greatly, but it would be a massive and difficult undertaking. It would be worth it if it could be done and if enough people supported it.

"Blood type diet " helped quite a bit while on it I discovered salt is truly evil in fact it does stimulate the nervous system I will do a write up soon so I'll let you know , sadly this info is not freely available had to work it out myself, useless allergy "doctors" told me to put cream on my skin complaints after I told him it was related to my nervous problems , go on have a guess what one (of many ) symptoms of a food sensitivity.....

That's right dry skin

I speak to soon can one fully recover from a severe condition like this , especially so when "sensory issues " is hard wired in our brains

Cosmos girl, having sisters or brothers have little effect on how one thinks of the other gender; an ISIS guy might have a dozen of sisters but would still treat women like cattle.

The past 7 days there was not a day when I consumed more than 1300 calories. I walked for an hour at least every day. I did two two hours of high intensity cardio.
My weight is exactly the same as a week ago (68,5). WTF.

^ I recall you're tall, no?

Sounds like water retention to me. When you bump up your activity, you'll have some swelling in your muscles. Reduce your sodium intake. Cut your protein intake by about half for a week and see what happens.

One thing that gave me a huge dose of reality was figuring up how many calories I was actually burning. To really make it count, you need a good 4 hours a day of strenuous exercise. I barely get the equivalent of 1 hour a day myself, so my goal is to not get LESS activity than I currently do. Because all my time is outside with my 2-yo, I'm dreading the wet fall/winter season we have here along with the cold daytime temps (doesn't bother me, I just don't want the little guy getting sick).

If you're building muscle, keep in mind muscle is more dense than fat. It might not seem like your muscles are getting bigger until you really build a lot of mass, but you could be gaining weight in muscle that you can't see yet. Even if you aren't doing resistance training, you could still be gaining muscle weight from the activities you ARE doing. At any rate, it's a good sign because if you are building muscle, you're increasing your metabolism so it will become easier to lose weight after a while.

Don't let it bother you too much. Take it as a good sign that you're holding your weight for now. Gaining weight in the middle of a diet has always been demoralizing for me.

Two hours of high intensity cardio??? I'm so not worthy?

Cutting your protein intakes are the last thing you should do; proteins have a higher thermic effect than carbs, and thus, it requires more to break them down. Cutting sodium is the right thing to do. Your body can't store water unless you're on a sodium surplus.

Four hours of exercise everyday is a recipe for disaster, particularly for someone college-aged who have limited free time.

Okay thanks guys I will cut my sodium intake! Thanks!!

I've worked out I need to cut it out fully, now to learn how to adjust my palate for "bland food"
Might buy some liquid smoke to add a savoury smoky flavour to food ?
