Good luck, Anon! Make sure to eat balanced too! What you eat is more important than what you burn off! Moderation is key, and don't fall for the lowfat scam.

what SS do people usually use for swimmer?
I used Japonica before, but I'm afraid to use it for a bag since shipping might cost a lot because it's bigger

Same goes for sex (not teaching kids how to sex, mind you). Studies show time and time again than introduce children to the concept of sex when they're younger leads to safer sex practices, more sexual confidence, lower rates of teen pregnancy, and lower rates of STDs when they grow into adolescence and adulthood.

They're going to do it, like it or not, and keeping their "poor innocence" in check isn't helping them. You have to realize that innocence is really just a projection you're throwing onto them. They aren't any less childlike if they know how babies are made, or if they learn what their genitals can do aside from making yellow streams. Children are very naturally sexually curious by age 5 or so anyway, they just lack the understanding of what they're curious about because parents don't teach them.

Then parents get all shocked then they find little Billy and Suzy playing "doctor" and instead of properly explaining why they shouldn't engage is such play, they create a negative stigma towards sexual conduct all together that can leave lasting affects well into adult life.

I've had too many partners that are completely uneducated when it comes to sex, and have psychological anxieties that affect their performance and such.

This guy may have legitimate antisocial personality disorder. I don't mean in the colloquial sense of being shy, but literal antisocial personality disorder - the inability to empathize with other people and therefore view them as tools to manipulate and throw under the bus for self gain with no emotional consequence because they may as well be NPCs in a game to you. Just a thought. These are the kinds of people that typically raise to CEO positions and such, because they exploit others for their own gain left and right in a way that no person with a sane conscious could ever do.

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. You're really kind and sweet, and you're a really great person. Your friends all love you and go out of their way to help you feel better because they care so much about you. That alone is proof that you're very dear to them, and I'm sure you're an irreplaceable part of their lives.

I'm sorry your work schedule sucks, but know that you'll always have someone rooting for you and pushing you forward. I'll always be here for you if you need me, even if you don't think I am. Please put more faith in me and believe in your ability to be a wonderful person. Missing you always.

Love,
Gwen.

I also have a problem with guilt after spending. Confront it now because it can go both ways, you either become addicted to buying clothes or you feel so much guilt purchasing anything it's depressing. Allow yourself to feel happy and satisfied when you buy nice things, and remind yourself that abstaining from buying anything nice is also a shitty way to live. Don't rely on the clothes for happiness though. I guess it's about finding a balance.

I'm also about to start lifting. I think I'm going to do SL5x5 because I'm very familiar with barbell lifts. I might work in some stuff like lunges and curls at home. I'm a huge ween and get quite nervous going to lift weights at my gym since it's usually full of very muscly men, but they seem pretty nice and helpful in the few times I've interacted with them.
