Well, it's a very long time since I did such an early workout!

Surprise, surprise, my blood sugars went the entirely opposite way. Been low literally ALL night. What the actual??

Anyhooo.....

I gave up after waking up fully at 3.30 and lying there for an hour before deciding I may as well get my weight training out of the way.

Didn't go heavy. The hydrants actually felt the heaviest.

Then I made myself a decaff (waiting til breakfast for that REAL coffee) and I'm sitting by candlelight in my huge dressing gown before waking the boss up.

It won't be a late one tonight!

Understanding the Difference: Type 1 vs Type 2 Diabetes

When it comes to diabetes, many people often feel confused about the differences between Type 1 and Type 2. It's like trying to tell apart two siblings who look similar but behave differently. Let's break it down in a simple way.

What Is Type 1 Diabetes?

Type 1 diabetes is like a surprise party that nobody wants. This type happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. So, what’s insulin? Think of it as a key that opens the door for sugar (glucose) to enter your cells for energy. Without insulin, sugar just lingers in your blood, leading to high blood sugar levels.

Type 1 diabetes usually hits younger people, often in childhood or early adulthood. It’s not about lifestyle or diet; it’s an autoimmune condition that needs insulin therapy for management. People with Type 1 must regularly monitor their blood sugar and take insulin shots or use an insulin pump.

What Is Type 2 Diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is like the friendly neighbor who becomes less friendly over time. This type occurs when the body either doesn’t use insulin well or doesn’t produce enough of it. It’s often linked to lifestyle factors like being overweight, not exercising, and poor eating habits.

Unlike Type 1, Type 2 can develop at any age but is more common in adults. Sometimes, people can manage it with lifestyle changes or medication. However, some may require insulin if the condition worsens. Managing Type 2 often requires a more proactive approach, like changing diets and incorporating exercise.

Key Differences Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

Cause and Onset

The root cause is one of the biggest differences. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition, while Type 2 is mainly influenced by lifestyle. Type 1 develops quickly, often in childhood or young adulthood, and Type 2 usually creeps in slowly, often appearing later in life.

Symptoms

Although symptoms overlap, they can show up differently. Type 1 symptoms might appear suddenly and include excessive thirst, frequent urination, and extreme fatigue. On the flip side, Type 2 symptoms might develop gradually and can include blurred vision, slow healing wounds, and tingling sensations.

Treatment Methods

Type 1 diabetics must use insulin as part of their daily routine. There’s no cure, but insulin helps manage blood sugar levels. For Type 2, treatment can start with lifestyle changes and may progress to oral medications or insulin if needed.

Who's at Risk?

Type 1 diabetes doesn’t have clear risk factors, but having a family history can increase chances. Meanwhile, Type 2 diabetes is often linked to risk factors like age, obesity, family history, and physical inactivity. It’s like the difference between being born into a family of athletes versus being raised in a couch-potato household.

Final Thoughts

In a nutshell, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes involve the body's relationship with insulin but are unique in their causes, onset, and treatment. Understanding these differences is crucial for managing each condition effectively. Whether it’s Type 1 or Type 2, staying informed is the key to controlling diabetes and leading a healthy life. It’s all about knowing your body and what it needs!

Heat Intolerance

This disability pride month I'd like to talk about heat intolerance. Because honestly although it's not the first health issue that presented symptoms in my life. It was the first time I was like "I don't think my body works right".

And honestly given disability pride month is during one of the hottest months in the year. It seems fitting. Especially because there's a lot of disabilities and medications that cause it.

What is heat intolerance?

Simply speaking it's the inability for the body to regulate it's temperatures especially in hot settings to cool itself down.

Why is awareness important?

Because gaslighting people or worse not providing them a place to cool down just because you "feel fine" is extremely fucking dangerous.

What are the medicines that can cause heat intolerance?

Antihistamines (Allergy medications) . Decongestants (Sudafed or any medication that has the D at the end of it). Stimulants (ADHD medications. Steroids. Caffeine.) Beta-blockers (blood pressure medications). Overactive bladder treatment. Psychiatric medications (including but not limited to medications for depression and anxiety). Pain relievers. Antibiotics.

What medical conditions can cause heat intolerance?

EDS (Elhers-Danlos syndrome). Autism. ADHD. Migraines. Brain/spinal-cord injury. Sensory processing disorder. Chronic fatigue syndrome. Endocrin problems. POTS. Menopause. Hypothyroidism. Diabetes. Heart Disease. Multiple sclerosis. Mental health disorders.

What should I do if I suspect I have heat intolerance?

Reduce time outside during hot months. Keep your electrolytes up. Drink plenty of water. Stay out of the sun whenever possible if outside. Be aware of the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Clothes that are best worn for heat intolerance. Loose lightweight breathable fabrics. Natural fibers. Long sleeves that protect from sunburn as sunburns will increase your risk. Light clothes that reflect light. Wide brimmed hats that shade the face and neck.

Cool. So what are those symptoms I'm supposed you be looking for?

Headaches. Excessive fatigue. Mood changes. Muscle cramping or weakness. Nausea/ vomiting. Rapid heartbeat. Excessive sweating or not sweating at all.

When should I do to the doctor?

If you suspect you have heat intolerance you can go to your PCP to discuss what medications you may be on and what you can do about it. Otherwise, please go to the emergency room if you have symptoms of heat stroke.

This is good information and all but why are you making this post?

To raise awareness. Not just for the people that have it but weren't aware of what it was called. But for all of the idiots that tried to gaslight me when I was in school because I was like "I don't think this is normal. Every time we do our mile run outside I vomit all over the place but other kids aren't doing that."

Also because people always blame me for over heating if I wear long sleeves or pants. I always like to take notes from what people in the middle east wear because they literally live in the excessive heat and spend long hours in the excessive heat. Often in clothing that covers most of their body. They've gotta know what they're doing, right?

I have some type of xenophobic comment about why people from the middle east cover up

Shut the fuck up 😊

The Great Shift: Turning 30

The Great shift was a huge time in many people’s lives. Especially those with birthdays who fell around the time of the great shift. Some turning 18, others turning 80! But still others had their hearts set on a time in their life that was quite pivotal. However, because of the shift some may have to wait a little longer to reach that milestone, while others have jumped leaps and bounds beyond it!

Harvey Singh (30 years old)

Fuuuck my head… and my clothes apparently. Damn. This is not what I imagined turning 30 would be like! 

Before the world went insane, I was so close! The damn great shift just had to happen right before my birthday. I was working at this law firm, a pretty shady place at first. Lots of scummy people taking advantage of others, but my boss was trying to turn it around! We kicked out those idiots who were causing trouble, got them arrested! I was gonna get promoted and help lead the charge for helping others… but not anymore.

The great shift landed me inside of Skyler Marlo! 18 year old quarterback for the local university. And right after a big party too. I couldn’t find a stitch of clothes to fit my new larger body. I was really lucky this frat house I woke up in had a towel nearby. But that was just the beginning of my nightmare. 

You see that smile of distress? Yeah that’s me. Instead of writing briefs and taking on clients in need, I’m here on the football field. Apparently after the upheaval the shift caused people are having trouble verifying identities and gaining access to their property/funds. That’s totally something I could be helping with! Instead I'm stuck back in the life of a teenager again. I wasn't a big fan of 18 last time I was in college.

The only thing that could get me after the shift was taking on this guy’s college scholarship. It gives me a place to stay and access to their college library, but I had to join the college football team. Some organizations like college athletics don’t seem to care who is shifted or not! As long as they got the players they need to draw in a crowd, they seemed perfectly content letting anyone play. Though who can blame them. If they saw me before I doubt they’d want some angry short king running their drills. No… now I’m not the 5’0 Indian guy who got overlooked in school. I look the picture of boy next door prom king that rules the college. 6’2, 195lbs of lean muscle, and size 15 feet. That last one took awhile to get used to! Finding cleats that size was the hardest part of this change. 

So here I am, sweating it out day after day to maintain my scholarship, while I wait for the day I’m recertified with my state’s bar! Once I’m a lawyer again I swear I’ll help out others like me forced to cling on to new lives while the system sorts things out. It sucks having to practice every day and do all these drills and grunt work! The college even has me posing for their promotional material to draw in bigger crowds at the game! Who would want this kind of life?!

Then again… it’s already been a few months… I may as well get used to college life… I was a nerdy brown kid my last run in college, mostly studying and doing what my parents wanted… now at least I can get a look at how the athletes lived… That frat did ask me if I wanted to join… I guess it couldn’t hurt to have a little fun while I wait to get my life back.

After all, I do get pretty excited after an intense practice, and judging by some of the looks from my teammates, I may not be the only one eager to get to know my new body better. 

Phil Inver (30 years old)

People need to learn how to relax. I don’t know what the big deal is. So a bunch of people swapped bodies. What’s there to worry about? See me? I don’t have a care in the world. When I was turning 30 doctors told me I was overweight and at risk of diabetes, my work would always be on me for not applying myself, and my girlfriend said I was always too lazy in our relationship! 

But my mindset since the shift hasn’t changed! It landed me in this nice smooth and lean body! I’m glad that this guy kept in such good shape. Having actual abs is insane! Same for these toned arms! I’m not sure if he’s the shaving kinda guy or if he’s naturally smooth, but it sure as hell beats taking care of an unruly beard and body hair!

Turns out now that I look like this people are a bit more receptive to my ideals! Doctors say my heart is as healthy as a horse! Says my stress free lifestyle is a large part of that! My work? They now say my chill attitude makes things a lot more zen around the office. Guess they don’t care I don’t get too much done whenever I flash them a smile. And my girlfriend… or my boyfriend as he goes by now, certainly thinks I’m taking an active role in the bedroom. Who knew that my new stud of a boyfriend had a thing for Asian guys!?

So what am I gonna do now? Listen to music, chill as my boyfriend showers, and wait out the day as normal. Sure I’m turning 30, but it’s just another day in paradise for me! Oh what’s that? This body is only 21? Even better! I’ve got plenty of time to relax before I turn 30.

Devon Lin (30 years old)

So I was a bit nervous about turning 30. I feel like I haven’t really done all the things I wanted… and all my friends were joking saying it’s all downhill after that. I wasn’t dealing the best with the stress… Well like it or not the shift had me face that hurdle a few year further than I expected.

And I gotta say. It’s not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Sure I’m a bit older, but hell  I look a hell of a lot more manly! Could it be that the shift landed me in a handsome 37 year old with a built body, tan skin,  and perfect beard? Maybe… but hey. Age is just a mindset… but these muscles sure aren’t! Boom!

You like that? So do the guys at the bar! They keep insisting I don’t shave my chest or pit hair too. I think I could pull off that look. That being said, I think anything looks good on a 6’5 stud like me. Tall, dark, and handsome all the way!

Before I would jump around from job to job. Bartender, janitor, waiter, and housekeeper, but lately I’ve found my job as a bouncer at the local bar a lot more rewarding. You’d be surprised how many fights stop once I take my shirt off and start playing pool with the patrons. I’ve won nearly every game of billiards I’ve played! Though I have the sneaking suspicion it may be due to the guys staring more at me than the balls.

Guess that’s one of the benefits to working at a chill gay bar! You know, I was always a bit insecure about my body and experimenting sexually. Being a shorter gay man with a chip on his shoulder would do that to you. Now… well let’s just say now I feel like I’ve got a lot more confidence! I may have missed my 30th birthday, but I think I know how I’m gonna spend my 38th!

Marcus Garcia (30 years old)

They say when you get older you begin to value things differently. Honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I turned 30. Was I supposed to be wiser all of a sudden? Have a plan for things? In truth plenty of people younger than me had their life together compared to me. Partners. Kids. A stable job. A house.

In short. I thought I had more time. But we don’t always get to choose how fast life comes at us. I mean look at me. Didn’t expect the shift to make me 55.

Losing 25 years of my life was definitely not the easiest. The great shift nearly tears the world apart and I’m running for my life looking like retirement is right around the corner. That first day was definitely a wake up call that I did not have the same stamina that I used to. In that opening week of the shift I was pretty much running on adrenaline and coffee wherever I could get it. I took lots of naps just to stay sane. 

As the days went on and society slowly readjusted to some version of normal, I began to actually have time to look at my body. I mean I was a pretty skinny guy before, my sister would always say I needed to workout more. But I guess all it took was 25 years of my life to finally get in shape. 

Not only that, but I’m admiring the body hair. This guy was a pretty hairy dude. The salt and pepper stubble had guys starting me daddy at the gay bars, while the chest hair was still dark like my eyebrows and made my impressive physique pop. 

My feet were pretty big too. Size 14! Twice as big as my old feet, but just as hard to find shoes my size. 

Needless to say there were highs and lows to my new life. Was I happy that i was 6’6 now? Sure! Loved being tall and nearly bonking my head on doorframes. Was I upset lots of my joints were sore and that I could only take my coffee black to avoid dairy and sugar? No… that sucked. I liked my sweet drinks and I missed not waking up in pain.

Omar LeRon was a guy that lived along my street. He was a single dad raising his 5 year old, all at the age of 45.

I later learned he had a few wild days in his early 40s that lead to Omar Jr. And now in his mid 20s again he’s glad he could be more present for his son! Even if his son is the same age as him now.

He told me all of this one day when we both left our house for a jog. He found that doing some running in his new body helped him vent some much needed energy from his body, while I needed to do something physical if I was to have any hope of maintaining healthy workout routines for mine! 

Needles to say he offered some words of wisdom growing up and it really helped put some things in perspective. Meanwhile, I gave him some tips about helping his son. Turns out all those years working at my aunt’s day care counted for something, even for post shifted kids!

Our conversations started as friendly advice and then grew into more! Talks became dates. Dates became moving in. Moving in became an engagement! Now a few years after the wedding I guess you truly can call me a daddy now. Jr. sure does. He’s doing great in school and is looking forward to next week when my sister is gonna watch him for the summer.

My husband and I are gonna take our first real vacation since the great shift! We’re looking forward to it! We’ll be celebrating Omar’s 30th birthday in his new body now! He keeps making jokes saying, “Well I’ve done it before. Nothing to it the second time around.” And “Well here I thought your 30th birthday was extreme. I doubt I could top that”

He also never stops teasing me about how he loves being married to an older man and that I’m not as young as I used to be. We know it’s all in good fun. I mean, I can still keep up with him in the bedroom, where it counts… as long as he gives me a few minutes to recover after. Young guys like him are insatiable. I’ll try to power through though. After all, you only turn “30” once.

morning sex! with nanami! it's all i fucking think about!!!!!!!

(arranged marriage au? slight somnophilia?)

he was usually up before you. like wayyy earlier. he's learnt not to bother you even though you can feel his massive weight be lifted of the bed. you know his routine by now. he goes to the gym early, showers and makes himself a cup of coffee by the time you start cooking breakfast. that's the routine, that's one you're aware of. what you don't know is that he's been watching you sleep... for like... everyday you both have lived together.

and it's !!not!! creepy, of course, you are his wife. it's not creepy, the fact that if he looks at you too long he starts to feel his pants getting tighter, a siege of blood flowing south.

it isn't wrong, when he pulls your covers down from your face. of course he just wants you to breathe easier. it's not lust. just an added bonus that he can now see your pretty lips parted, begging for a kiss and your pretty tits squished by your arms as you lay on your side.

if it's not wrong then why does he... why does he feel this way? this guilt? and why does it make him hornier?

so one of these weekends, as he told himself, he'd try his luck. it was all too unbearable for him at this point. you were fogging up his brain with these lewd images. and worst part was... you were oblivious to the effect you had on him.

it's a sunday. his body wakes up at the usual time. wee hours of the morning. you're by his side this time. it's all up to him now.

he tries to be discreet, at first. try lovey-dovey stuff first, as the internet has told him. you feel him shift in the bed and suddenly your husband's massive arms hug you from behind. the muscles tense as he pulls you to his chest. his heart is pounding. and its barely like 5 am.

"you're sleeping in?"

"yeah, weekend."

"no gym?" you ask. you both sleep face opposite sides, this is one of the few times you've had to adjust your body to his frame. you squiggle as you talk, trying to fit the soft curvature of your body with his flatter, harder frame.

"no.. it's uh... closed for maintenance today." he too has a hard time adjusting to you. to your curves, to your proximity, to how you slept in his arms like a fawn. to how he would conceal his erection to spend time like this with you. too much, too unbearable.

"oh, ok." you smiled. "wake me up if you need anything hm?"

you close your eyes once more. now something else woke you up. nanami's face nuzzled in your neck. his hands, this time, toying with your waist. his bulge apparent. it made sense now. you couldn't help but smile to yourself.

nanami kento is the beautiful man you are married to. gorgeous blonde hair. piercing brown eyes, shaped so angular that it's intimidating. perfect jaw structure. and god... that dick. he was caring and responsible too. how could a man this perfect ever love you? you were convinced he didn't. he always looked stoic, removed, disconnected from you an your relationship. he fucked you with care and gentleness and diabetic sweetness. you couldn't feel him want you. but you'd grown to want him. who the fuck has a one sided crush on their own husband?

but this... this felt different. this felt like all those fantasies were gonna come true. those moments you spent doting on him, creating the nastiest scenarios.

oh god, his soft blonde hair, unkempt and messy in bed. his eyes barely open, his body warm. he smelled like himself and not his expensive cologne. it was all so domestic. all so comfortable. how could you miss this side of nanami?

but you continued to be merry with the domesticity of it all to foresee how your perfect husband was about to perfectly split you open with his perfect dick.

[littlebearbigchub]

As usual, gym OOTD is: “Hasn’t accepted that he needs to size up.” 🐷 skipping cardio and letting my shirt ride up in front of everyone when I do my lifts.

I’m really being a fat slut recently. I’ve just been crushing my protein goals after a lengthy period of being too depressed to build muscle. I am feeling so BIG and loving the growing strength. I’m just totally embracing my appetite and the jiggles.

Oh course, I’m sure that it’s only a matter of time before I start freaking out again about the new highs on the scale and make another pathetic attempt at losing some of it. I’m not worried though. I know where I’m eventually going to end up and it’s going to make me so happy.

Standing at the precipice of stepping off the cliff of the 150 lb range is as thrilling and euphoric as it is genuinely terrifying. I can see myself and my path to 165 lbs (which would be my ideal next pit stop on my way to my goal of obesity at 180 lbs) but dang, I’m gonna be ruined physically and mentally if I’m not careful. I think that so long as I keep in shape I can mostly convince myself that my weight isn’t /too/ bad but it’s such a tight line to walk to not get fat too fast to stay fit (for me at least) and it gets more and more tempting to be lazy with every extra pound.

I’ve also basically decided that I’m gonna seek medication related to diabetes prophylactically when I reach that point. Like, I can eat as plant based as possible and work out to support my cholesterol and blood pressure but with my family history and signs of insulin insensitivity already appearing at a certain weight I’m gonna need some sort of pancreatic support - to minimize the squeeze from visceral fat if nothing else (besides more subq would be sexyyyyyyy) I’ve made a ridiculous delusional plan that I could access something like that and it could actually really support my gain by preventing damage from my obesity instead of reacting to it and hopefully minimize the chances of being in a situation where I have to lose weight for my health.

“Piggy boy is such a fatass that he needs meds because he just can’t say no to ice cream, doc. That’s why his belly is spilling out of his shirt and he’s up 10 pounds year over year for the past 5 years. You better do something quick before he starts tipping past 200 lbs and the gains accelerate until he can barely waddle back into this office.”

Hey echo!! I’ve been following you for a while on my old tumblr account and even bought your book and toolkit which has been a game changer! Was wondering if you have some tips on looksmaxxing for black women- I do agree that looking the prettiest does get you far in life. Also where can I preorder your book? Thank you for the advice you post- I love how you keep it real! I used to be one of the girls that believed in manifestation, affirmations and subs, but you brought me back to reality!

Looksmaxxing Tips

Disclaimer: I already know I’ll get cancelled for this but this is for the girls who get it.

Hey! Aw you don’t have to be anon 🤍 thank you so much for your support!! Like truly that was very nice and I’m happy you’re still around after my hiatus. First things first, this post is going to get me in trouble but… I’ll do it lol. Remember that time I was cancelled for saying we should be shaving our underarms?

YOUR BODY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR FACE

You know it’s true. You know when you look like you take care of yourself, people treat you better. Yes, you NEED to make sure you’re at a healthy weight. Your face can be absolutely busted, but if you have a nice body, you get a pass. I’m half Hispanic, and my background and your background tends to get on the heavier side pretty quickly. There is so many scientific research about how we develop Type 2 Diabetes quicker and we’re globally at a higher weight. So this is the part when I’m gonna get cancelled: you have to be fit. You have to be in shape. You have to have muscle. You have to be tight and toned.

——— MY DIET TIPS

1. I eat whatever I want, but I eat so in moderation. It’s so important that you don’t deprive yourself because this should be a lifestyle. I get lunch portions, kids meals, the smallest size of unhealthy foods (like I would get a small fry for example), etc. Ben & Jerry’s has the really tiny ice cream cups that I’ll get if I want something sweet. But food known to cause weight gain, I’ll still eat them but I won’t have normal portions of it because normal portions of those kinds of foods are literally 1,000+ calories.

2. I’m against drinking my calories unless it’s a meal replacement (like a smoothie)

3. I practice intermittent fasting. I’ve done 18:6, 16:8, 20:4, and 23:1. They are all great. I think it’s healthy to give your body a rest from eating throughout the day to allow it to digest. I eat from 12pm-6pm some days, but some days if I’m going out to dinner, I push it back to maybe 4pm-10pm. So many benefits to this, do your research.

4. I don’t eat carbs for dinner. Carbs are essential for energy. Why do I need energy at night? Protein, healthy fats, and veggies is what I stick to. I limit carbs to my smoothie and lunch. But my main dish is never a carb; I like fat and protein as my main dish with a SIDE of carbs like rice or a side pasta dish.

I don’t recommend Ozempic or other alternatives! You’ll get the Ariana Grande sunken in face and look absolutely insane. That’s the side effect that scares me the most, and it usually happens later on after being on Ozempic for it to take affect. I want to keep my face plump.

DON’T TOUCH YOUR FACE SURGICALLY

I’m always a fan of a good rhinoplasty, but make sure you come to LA for one. NYC has really good doctors too. Never, EVER get your surgeries done in Miami. Business is so shady in Miami that I don’t trust it. I’m not telling you to get a nose job— I’m saying that’s the only procedure I’m actually for and not against.

I used to get Botox and I stopped. The problem with Botox is that is prevents muscle movement, which will develop muscle atrophy. Meaning, your face muscles will lose shape and strength sooner than normal, and your face will start to sag. My credentials is that I have a nursing degree and I dated a plastic surgeon over the last year.

I’m sure you don’t need lip filler, but a little (like half a syringe) to make your lips go out further is a GAME CHANGER. Just make sure you dissolve filler each time you decide you want a touch-up.

Another trend is buccal fat removal— I don’t know WHY people are wanting the snatched face because it makes you look so horse-like and old. I’m only talking to those who don’t naturally have a snatched face. There’s a difference between looking puffy, and having face fat. Face fat is good, it keeps you looking youthful! So don’t get that done.

Stay away from all other fillers.

COME TO LA FOR BODY PLASTIC SURGERY

I’m the biggest advocate for breast augmentations. I got my boobs done because I wanted them to look more perfect. You just have to make sure you go to a good doctor. Don’t be cheap with it. But getting your boobs done just elevates your look but don’t get crazy. A perky C cup is fine, even a perfect D cup is fine. Get the boobies up and perky. Push-ups and other chest workouts are good to start doing but they’re not going to be total game-changers. If you like your boobs, great. But if you want that perfect body inside and outside of clothes, get the girls up. Give them some volume.

If you have extra flab or skin, go for the non surgical procedures!! I got Morpheus8 done on my inner thighs because I had a bit of loose skin from weight loss (it was like 50lb weight loss and I lost it fast) and my thighs are sucked in and cute now). But it depends on what they have but go to a medical spa ran by a plastic surgeon. Don’t go to the commercial med spas or anything.

Body Gua-Sha is really good to do as well to help shape you up a little. I do this after every morning shower.

GET A SPRAY TAN

Yes, you should get a spray tan. I know you don’t need one, but your skin tone would pop so much more if you got one and they hide so many imperfections on your skin. Everyone looks better tan— everyone. It’s giving summer vibes all year round and I’m here for it. My black friends get spray tans and I’ve seen the difference in real time. Skin just looks so much healthier and younger with a spray tan. But it has to be a spray tan, it has to be a little artificial to look good lol. I know people swear the sun is the best but when I go out in the sun, I turn grey!!!! I turn such a weird color but because I fake tan, I keep my golden color without looking moldy lol. It’s giving that SpongeBob episode when he had the suds. Try it once and tell me how it goes lol. I swear you’ll be obsessed. I actually want you to message me and lmk.

MAKEUP, LASH EXTENSIONS, MICROBLADING

Your lashes should be undetectable. Classic natural set with a wispy and individual mix ONLY. Lashes should only be used for a thicker lash line, NOT for length. If you get strip lashes, make sure they’re natural and WISPY. The more natural and effortless the better. You also look younger and classier too. I’m a fan of a natural looking micro blade, but keep your brows natural. Don’t fan them out or fluff them, but don’t have IG brows. You want to fool people into thinking you’re just naturally like this. Obviously when you go out, do the brows or lashes, but on a normal Wednesday 2pm, it’s not necessary. Makeup should always be glowing. Matte makes you look like a grandma. A subtle glow in the cheeks or nose just gives healthy. Matte gives chalky.

HAIR

Keep it SAFE with hair. Natural color, natural length, healthy hair. How you style it is up to you but make sure it goes with your face shape. Hair that’s too long can be too much and hair that’s too short can make you look a little older. I don’t know if you wear your natural hair or if you install, but if you install keep it at an appropriate length. Think VS model. If your hair is natural and you wear it out, scratch everything I just said :) but keep colors natural and your hair healthy!

I’m running out of space to type, but I’ll say this. Your BEST template is a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Not the new ones lol that show was embarrassing. I’m talking about the OG VS. That’s if you want to be universally stunning. Everyone will turn heads at a VS Angel. You want to give classy, but you also want to give youthful and sexy. Look at paparazzi photos of them being off-duty. Gain style and look inspiration off of them. They got CANCELLED for not being inclusive and it hurt feelings. Now they aren’t making nearly as much money before and the brand is tainted because a few insecure women decided to be all emotional. See what happens when you listen to insecure toads?

I didn’t want this post to be something you can find on the internet because there’s so much about this on the internet, but I gave you some opinions based off things I see that I agree/don’t agree with.

Hq disability Headcanons

A somewhat detailed list of my haikyuu medical headcanons

Nishinoya Yuu - Type 1 diabetes and sensory neuropathy

Was diagnosed at 5

Inherited from parents

Prefers an insulin pump to insulin injections

Diabetes causes his sensory neuropathy

Nerve damage in his arms causing bruises because he can't tell when to stop practicing

Kenma Kozume - Hearing loss in both ears, noise damage

Plays games and music with the volume too high causing damage from all the years he's been doing it

Doesn't like to admit that he has hearing problems

Uses CIC (Completely In the Canal) hearing aids because they're small and unnoticeable

Also uses his hair to cover them because even when he knows they're hard to see he's still pretty self-conscious about them

Tendou Satori - Vitamin B deficiency, Motor Neuropathy, Audhd

Tendou has a vitamin B12 deficiency which results in him developing peripheral neuropathy, more specifically motor neuropathy

It causes him muscle spasms/twitching and gives him a barely noticeable foot drop

I think he has Audhd and struggles with paying attention and wanting to move around a lot

He doesn't have a specific hyperfixation exactly but is full of lots of little facts about lots of things

Hinata Shoyo - Audhd, Dyspraxia

I don't think i really need to explain Hinata's Audhd but I will anyways

It's one of the reasons he has so much energy while he's practicing, because he already struggles with staying still but also because it's one of his special interests

It helps him more if things are explained at the speed his brainis going instead of going slowly

I think he has Dyspraxia too because it explains a lot of his struggles in volleyball

It also ties into why the quick attack pair works so well because Hinata has to focus less on getting everything right himself and can put his attention into his motor skills

Oikawa Tooru - Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is pretty common

It causes joint pain and stiffness in most cases

And it's most common in places like the knees

It's usually from old age but in Oikawa's case it's from trying to play after an injury without letting it fully heal

But he refuses to admit that he has a problem

Kageyama Tobio - Dyslexia

He's incredibly dyslexic

Nobody knows though, everyone just thinks he's really dumb

He has consulted someone about it unfortunately he talked to Hinata who also has mild dyslexia mixed with the fact that his eyes won't stay on one point on his page

They both think that letters and numbers do that for everyone and that they just haven't figured out how to read it properly

Ushijima Wakatoshi - Autism

Definitely autistic

Pretty high functioning though

He's pretty slow on some social cues but the basic ones have been worked out in his brain

He has quite a high tolerance for most stuff but he's not the biggest fan of messing up schedules

Tsukishima Kei - Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Was partially inherited because Akiteru showed signs of it but not enough for a diagnosis

I think he specifically has cEDS (Classical EDS) because it fits him the most

I think he's been pretty used to his joints dislocating sometimes but doesn't realise that everyoen else around him isn't

The first time Yachi saw it she almost fainted

Particularly with cEDS people have easily bruised/breakable skin on their forehead, knees, shins and elbows

He has a few pretty big scars on his knees and shins from when he was a kid

They're also quite wide because with cEDS wounds heal quite slowly and leave wide scars

Bokuto Koutaro - Borderline Personality Disorder

This wasn't originally my idea (He wasn't actually going to be on here but it got pointed out to me yesterday)

BPD comes in four stages, Emotional instability, Disturbed patterns of thinking, Impulsive behaviour and Unstable relationships

With emotional instability it's usually intense negative emotions and severe mood swings which could contribute to his 'emo modes'

During disturbed patterns of thinking he'd get upsetting thoughts (like his emo mode) and hallucinations and distressing thoughts that he can't be talked out of

Impulsive behaviour is one i think he has less negatively but it's commonly negative in most cases

His impulsive behaviours are less harmful to himself and others

Unstable relationships are when he attaches himself to someone and I think that person/people would be Akaashi and Kuroo

Them trying to leave him would not go well, it's why he contacts them all the time because he doesn't like the feeling that they might leave him

[zeninsama]

ummmm fitness journey for anyone who is interested. cw for weight loss/dieting (and death lol) under the cut.

waaaagh i am so proud of myself, i'm like six pounds away from my goal weight ;-;

before i started working out seriously i was at the highest weight i've ever been at and i knew smth had to change because i started to feel physically awful all the time. always tired, always nauseous. sometimes when i'd lay in bed my arms would go numb. bad shit. both my dad and grandma have had type 2 diabetes (under control now) and my stepdad passed from a heart attack and he really struggled with getting his shit together so i really felt motivated.

i've been working out for a hot minute but i've recently started eating in a calorie deficit and it's made all the difference (i was working out and then accidentally overeating and wondering why i was only losing like one pound every few months, i thought it was my birth control). i love cooking so planning and prepping meals has been so much fun ;-; i was definitely butthurt as hell when i found out how many calories were in my poke bowl because that is my comfort food... and i am the kind of person to douse shit in sauce... waugh,... but right now i'm trying to deficit enough to lose a pound or two a week and it's worked!

when i first weighed myself before working out at all, i was at 165. right now i'm at 151 and my goal is to maintain 145 and get hella muscular. i'm 5'4 for reference. also oh my god the visible results??? my quad muscles are insane and my chest is getting kinda broad if that makes sense... like sexy inverted triangle chest and shoulders... biceps are looking cut too. oh my god. i've officially gone down a pants size and outgrown (under grown??) my binder too ... sheesh.

[suzieb-fit]

Happy Xmas Eve eve! Lol. Friends reference for those that know it.

Blood sugars still high. Rough night, although I do think the black cohosh might be helping somewhat.

Up a bit earlier than usual and in for my weight training.

Chest and back focused.

I need to calm the weight down. So lighter load, more reps.

Work more for muscle strength and endurance rather than bulk.

Then one of my favourite times of the day. Maybe THE favourite altogether.

Strong frothy coffee and peanuts in the morning light.

No discernable sunrise as such, but still a wonderful boost to my morning.

Yay!! You’re doing Richie content!! ❤️✨

Please, I beg you to write a impatient Richie because y/n hasn’t stopped calling him “dude” and “bro”, and Richie is all like “Stop calling me «dude»!! I don’t wanna be friends with you, I like you dumbass!!”

Points extra if Richie is explicit with his feelings and y/n is painfully oblivious about it ✨

I’m not your friend - Richie Tozier x reader

Pairing: Richie Tozier (It) x f!latina!reader

Warnings: so much fluff I’m probably type 2 diabetic after this; love confessions; maybe a bit angsty?; no smut, but a little make out session at the end ‘cause ya know how i am

Love note from Nina: omg yes???? i loved this request, here you go, darling! 💗 I made the reader a latina girlie ‘cause I’m Latina myself lol, hope you don’t mind.

You had been a member of the losers club for a few months now - ever since you moved to Derry. You met Bev at summer school, and she introduced you to the gang one by one. Soon, you could see how you fit into the group perfectly, as they were all made fun of for some reason: being poor, or fat, or wearing glasses, or stuttering… and you were no different: you were an immigrant.

Your first language not being English, you’d find yourself being made fun of because of your accent, or for not knowing some specific words in English yet. Those high school boys were so mean to you, and it was so hard to navigate things - thank goodness you had made friends.

From the very beginning of your interactions with the boys, Bev told you she thought Richie had a crush on you. You dismissed her comments completely - there was no way a cute boy like him, so smart and funny, would be interested in someone like you. She’s imagining things, you thought.

As time went on, you sensed Richie was a bit clingy towards you, but Ben was also a bit clingy towards Bev, and they weren’t dating or anything, she clearly liked Bill. So maybe that was just how things were in the US, right? A cultural thing, maybe.

It all had led to today - it was a warm Sunday afternoon in July, and Richie had invited you to join him for a movie at his house. You thought the rest of the gang was going to tag along, but as you got there, it was just the two of you.

Maybe he’s not feeling super social today, you thought, but still felt glad he wanted to spend time with you - he even let you pick the movie.

As the tv glowed before you, you two were sat side by side on the couch. Richie held your hand delicately, caressing your palm with his thumb, his warm touch making you smile and relaxing your tensed up muscles. Your eyes felt heavy as the movie progressed, and your head ended up on his shoulder somehow.

His left arm went around your torso, embracing you and pulling you to his chest instead. His free hand caressed your hair carefully, twirling small strands around his index finger. You let out a deep breath, feeling so comfortable around him.

You still didn’t believe what Bev had said - Richie was probably just a bit needy and you were available that day. You’d take what you could get, though, and this was actually pretty good. His natural scent was very pleasant, even if subtle, and you loved being able to smell him, to feel his body’s warmth, to feel him in general.

“Should I get a blanket for us?” You broke the silence. Mrs. Tozier would always keep a blanket in a small wooden chest at the corner of the living room - the softest thing ever. Richie agreed and paused the movie.

You stood up to get the blanket, but as you turned around to get it, Richie had gotten up as well and poked your shoulder, making your turn back to him again.

“I’m happy you’re here, y/n” Richie smiled, gently putting his lips to your forehead.

“Thank you so much bro, I’m glad you invited me too!” You answered, smiling.

“Bro?” He furrowed his eyebrows. “Thank you bro?” He repeated in a high pitched voice, mocking you.

“Whoa, dude, that’s not how you talk to a friend” you replied, nervous. “Is everything okay with you?”

“I’m not your friend, y/n” Richie said, impatience audible in his voice, eyes squinting behind his thick glasses.

You seemed utterly confused at his statement, and that only made Richie feel worse.

“You’re… you’re not my friend?” You asked, your voice faint and raspy. “What am I to you, then?”

“You’re the girl i love, stupid” his eyes shot wide open at yours. “I’m not your bro, not your dude, none of those things, for god’s sake” Richie rolled his eyes as he spoke, resentment and courage surfacing abruptly in his posture. “I wanna be your boyfriend!”

Your jaw dropped. You disliked the fact that he nearly screamed those words to your face - but at the same time, you knew Richie, and knew those feelings were probably eating him alive for months now, and that was the only way he could get them out of his body and into the world.

His eyes stared into yours, filling up with tears as you simply stood there, unable to utter a single rational thought to him - you could only let your body take over.

Your hands went for the collar of his shirt, pulling it down aggressively as you put your lips on his. You peeked through your closed eyes as you kissed him, his eyes wide open in shock for a second, and then closing in pleasure as he melted into the kiss. Richie had fantasized about this moment pretty much ever since he first laid eyes on you. His hands were on your waist, timidly holding your body to his.

“Wow, Rich, I-I had no idea you felt like that” you said shyly as you broke the kiss to get some air.

“Really?” He asked softly, intrigued. “I-I’ve always treated you so differently than how I’d treat Bev, or, like, any other girl…”

“I just… Well, Bev told me she thought you had a crush on me, but I don’t know, I couldn’t believe her” you shrugged. “You’re so smart, and so funny, and so cute… What’d you see in a Latina who still messes up speaking in English sometimes?”

Richie shook his head in disbelief.

“To me, you speak English way better than a lot of Americans, love” he chuckled. “I love your softness, how gentle and sweet you are. I thought you didn’t like me, you know, like that…”

“Rich, I-“ you said, feeling your heart pounding in your chest. “I think I love you”

Richie couldn’t even contain himself as he smiled ear to ear, arms wrapping tighter than ever around your body, as he squeezed you into his embrace.

“I love you too” he said, voice muffled as his face was still buried in the crook of your neck.

“Y/n, I… Can I kiss you again?” Richie asked as he let go of your sides, feeling a bit silly about the situation. “I wanted to kiss you for so long, and now we did, but I… I wanted to savor it more, you know?”

You didn’t know what “savor” meant, but you wanted to kiss him again, too. You nodded shyly, hands cupping his face and bringing it down to your lips.

Richie’s kiss was soft and sweet, lips slowly tracing yours as his arms wrapped around your waist once again. It was so good to feel him so close, his breath mixing up with yours, his hands on your waist, your chests pressed up against each other.

You bit his lower lip gently before breaking the kiss, getting a moan to escape his lips. Holding the hair on his nape, you put your head to the side and kissed his neck slowly, nipping at his skin, biting him gently, licking him with the very tip of your tongue. Richie’s body was squirming around yours, his breathing and heart accelerated.

He turned his face to yours, trying to kiss your neck instead, but you didn’t let him, grabbing the hair from his nape to keep him in place as you teased him.

“No, no, no, I’m not done with you yet, love” you whispered to his ear, nibbling on his earlobe as you spoke.

“You’re so mean, doll” he said, slightly out of breath. His cheeks were pink and hot to the touch. “Let me touch you at least, then” he grabbed you by the waist and pulled you down to sit on the couch.

As Richie tried to lie down on top of you, your bum slipped, causing you to fall on the carpet. Richie chuckled lightly and joined you in a heartbeat.

He pinned you down on the carpet, putting his body to yours, holding both your wrists at the sides of your head. His lips were red and swollen from making out with you, but you both felt like you couldn’t stop. He kissed you once again, biting your bottom lip softly, getting your body to shiver. It felt imminent that something else could end up happening… But then, you both heard a key turning at the door.

“Richie, are you home?” A female yelled from the other room.

“Fuck, that’s my mom” he whispered, eyes wide open. Richie helped you up and sat you down on the couch, pretending nothing had happened.

A black haired woman showed up to the living room, shopping bags in her hands.

“Hi darlings, were you watching a movie?” She asked softly.

“Hi, mom, yeah” he answered, cheeks still flushed.

“Is that your friend y/n?” She squinted. You two hadn’t seen each other in a while, so she didn’t recognize you at first.

“Uhm… That’s actually my girlfriend y/n, why?” Richie grinned, satisfied.

Trying to get my health together and part of that is food. It's got me thinking what the MHA characters would eat since they have to be physically fit but also mindful of their quirks.

*in this post, "diet" refers to a person's regular eating habits and not a temporary diet fad."

For example: Momo creates things from lipids, meaning fats, and the more she eats, the more she can do. My assumption is she would have to have a high-fat diet. She'd want to mainly focus on healthier fats such as fatty fish and avocados.

Or Sato, since his quirk is based on high sugar intake, he might be at risk for type 2 diabetes if he doesn't maintain a low-carb, low-sugar diet to help counteract the high sugar intake.

Ururaka would probably want to focus on anti-inflammatory foods and pro-biotics as overuse of her quirk can lead to vomiting which can impact her gut ecosystem.

Not a fan of the popularity of the Keto diet, but there is some validity in doing it safely and it was originally created for people with epilepsy. I think this would be great for Kaminari because even though he does not have epilepsy, overuse of his quirk stuns him in a way that kind of reminds me of how I am post-ictal (dazed, co fused, unable to really complete a thought. I personally get a little comical.)

Characters like Midoriya and Kirishima, who are very muscle focused, would probably have to use a high protien diet to help maintain muscle mass.

Bakugo is tricky. I'm not familiar with how nitroglycerin is used, but I know it can be used for blood pressure. So, his diet would want to accommodate that. It would be a delicate balance between not spiking his blood pressure too hight/low while still maintaining his muscle mass to help with sustaining his quirk.

Any other thoughts or contributions?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

hey! so i hope this isn’t too creepy/nosey, but im a medical student and i was reading your possible fibromyalgia post and have a couple ideas lol. full important disclaimer that im only partly into my studies and im currently in the hypochondriac phase and also your summary was amazing but a real doc would ask way more questions, so please consult with an actual doc and take everything i say with a grain of salt! but like your symptoms aren’t nothing so i would def encourage finding a doc that you trust to do a proper exam and run some tests. also im operating under the assumption that you’re under 50 lol, bc if you’re over 50ish that’s a whole diff list of possible diagnoses.

so the thirst thing you’re talking about is often called polydipsia and is commonly associated with diabetes insipidus. that’s not the normal diabetes you think about, but happens when your body can’t regulate fluids in your body properly. id think of this if you’re also peeing a lot lol. your doc would have to do some kidney tests for that, which wouldn’t be part of the blood panel you mentioned. i’m a little skeptical that it’s hypokalemia bc that would’ve showed up on your blood test results. it could be transient electrolyte imbalances when you exercise so have one of those electrolyte packets when you exercise lol, bc it never hurts to try the easy solutions first, but chronic low potassium should’ve shown up? tho eating sweet potatoes has never hurt.

other things it could be is a lower motor neuron problem bc you mentioned twitches and muscle weakness which is typical for those. i def can’t say more without tests, but look into/get your doc to look into myasthenia gravis or LEMS and see if either of those fit. i think it’s possible bc these often also start with face/upper body symptoms, but would need way more questions/tests to know. it’s unlikely but could also be a glycogen storage disease called McArdle disease bc you describe a second wind thing when you exercise along with exercise intolerance. that’s super rare tho so it’s unlikely unless someone in your family has it/has similar symptoms.

also look into autoimmune stuff like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and sjögrens disease. i have way less useful info on that bc we haven’t gotten to it in class yet lol, but sjögrens looks promising bc you often get dry mouth with it, and it often goes along with rheumatoid arthritis which could explain the joint stuff possibly.

it’s also totally possible this is fibromyalgia, but i would be cautious diagnosing it bc it often comes with fatigue and cognitive stuff which you didn’t mention. it’s also more of a pain thing, and doesn’t include your twitches/dry mouth. it’s def possible, and it was def something i thought of when i saw your symptoms, but personally i would want to rule out other stuff first bc fibromyalgia is pretty vague and often a diagnosis of exclusion when other things don’t fit.

sorry for overwhelming you!! i just saw your post and was like hmmm those symptoms sound like Something. again take my advice with a big grain of salt, but i do really think it’s worth asking your doc about it and getting tests done, bc even if there aren’t cures there are def treatments to help with a bunch of this stuff. it doesn’t sound urgent, but at least from your post your symptoms don’t sound like run of the mill aches and pains. hope you figure stuff out!!

The problem with 'muscles don't work right ouchy and I am also tired' is that it's a symptom for Absolutely Everything That Can Be Wrong With The Body. Is it cancer? Is it a terrible diet and sleep schedule? Who knows!

The doctor ran a diabetes test with the blood panel and it came up negative, but I don't know if that checks for weird kinds of diabetes. (Diabetes does not run in my family until we get very old.) That test was memorable because I have stupid fragile veins that freak out and collapse at the mere sight of a needle so I had to get stabbed nine times, they didn't manage to get the middle reading at all, and in the end they resorted to just stabbing my thumb with one of those diabetes home blood test thingies and manually squeezing my blood out into a tube drop by drop.

I looked up polydipsia and I don't think I have that. I think I just prefer my mouth to be wetter than my salival glands want it to be. 🤷‍♀️I think most of my problems are probably not related to any rare chronic disease, but just run-of-the-mill autism making it hard to look after myself or properly notice and process my physical condition and adapt accordingly. I don't eat enough fresh foods because it's hard to plan with the very short timeframe to prepare and eat them in. I'm uncoordinated and damage my body a lot through overwork or using muscles incorrectly because autism makes it hard to keep track of those things. My mouth feels dry and my skin feels itchy and my muscles feel sore because that's what being autistic feels like. My sleep schedule is garbage because my executive function is garbage and even once I do manage to get myself into the bed I can't just "go to sleep", I pass out when I'm ready to pass out.

I'm not saying it's impossible for anything else to be going on, but I think the known factor is the simplest explanation here. It's 2:30pm and I've been putting off breakfast for five hours. Every time I go into the kitchen I get distracted by housework instead. I am very hungry. This is not behaviour that is conducive to a well-functioning body.
