Just finishing making this, and it rather fits this thread… 😆
That’s definitely my biggest ‘whine’ at present…go on about it enough every year!

This is the thing for me… if I find it any kind of temptation and I can’t steel myself to consume in moderation (which should be alright for anything), I do not bring it into the house. Common rule of thumb, go food shopping while satiated after a meal, and that is where you steel yourself. Do not buy the temptations. That way, when you’re at home and it’s easy to give in cause you’re bored or tired or even, hungry, you can’t zip to the pantry and grab a naughty. Put something with less calories or sugar free in its place. Try to find a suitable alternative be it in taste or texture. Because of some elder family, I’ve grown up eating fat and sugar free my whole life so I notice no difference except that food with those things is too much for me, sometimes.
This is going to sound insane and many will disagree with me but I’ll share with you anyway. I love chocolate like many folks do. However, I really should not have it. Mind you, I can’t even consume it in bulk anyway or else I tend to fly into sugar shock. But I don’t want to have it in the house anyway (once you get over the huge hump of withdrawal or temptation you’ll be surprised at how much easier it is to finally maintain your conviction). I have found this helps me (here come the “you’re nuts” comments, I know)… but I use effusion lamps (google it; think Lampe Berger). I choose to buy, among many, the Chocolate scent (even mix it with my Peppermint scent for a Mint Choco scent). I burn that lamp with a Chocolate flavour in it and believe it or not, it relieves any hankering I may have for the actual thing. Some might think as I use to- which is, that would cause the temptation and desire to go through the roof. I thought so too, until I tried it this way. For me, it worked. It might for you too. Can’t hurt to try (except you may get hooked on effusion lamp scents like I did).
Oh, and if you really are seriously thinking of getting an effusion lamp and scents, I have 2 places with the best prices that I go and would be happy to supply the links.
Last- try shopping for the cookies and chocolate at a health store or the like. Even check out the diabetic or health section of your grocery store. Really can’t hurt to try these things. OK, now I’m ready for everyone to fly in on me and tell me how wrong I am, that I’m crazy. Go ahead. But if so, then I’m simply crazy… without having any cravings!! 😆
DM, I use to have trouble reading that blue print too but then one day, it was much clearer here on screen. So I thought I could use it. But if someone is coming forward and saying they have trouble, I appreciate it because you’re likely not the only one. Is the pink any better? Thank you for saying something.

MUCH BETTER!!! thanksSome text can be harder to read than others, and it varies from computer screen to computer screen depending on your contrast, brightness, and gamma settings! When in doubt, try light (bright), non–saturated colors.
Whine: My bosom is a different size on each side due to a past surgery and so no bra I’ve ever had fits properly!

I have a new whine… I got my new schedule and I have eight 11 to 8 shifts in a row because my coworker is on vacation and apparently I am scheduled to cover all her shifts.
Got a busted Windstone?

And now I’m home where we have no AC, and it’s way too miserably hot. Gripe, gripe, gripe. The “vacation” at dad’s wasn’t great. The family fought the whole time. And I come home to see my darling little guinea pigs have flipped bedding all over the floor, which needs to be cleaned. While it’s sooo hot. Gripe, gripe, gripe. 😆
Actually, for those that haven’t had surgery, most women’s boobs are different sizes from each other. Same with fingers on either side, the feet, etc. Usually one side of the body is minutely larger than the other. You may not be able to see it but notice it in small ways such as a ring may feel tighter on your left ring finger but put it on the right and it fits a little easier (or right shoe may be a bit tighter than the left shoe). For me, my right side in general is ever so slightly larger than the left. Not in sight but in those small ways… including boobage. As for surgery, well, that might be a completely different matter.

Me too!! (Though not for reasons related to surgery) 😳
Dragon Master wrote:I guess my eyes are getting bad I have a problem reading the dark blue type *whine*
*whine* I had a bit of problem with the blue, but I *really* have problems with the pink. Because of my problems seeing light pink, the dark pink on grey is just not enough of a contrast for me. But that’s just me, and it’s only really a problem on long posts. So continue to use if you want. A lighter pink would probably be better because then it just looks white to me! LOL
I never thought it would be a problem until I saw Sway’s post. The short one was okay, the long one made my eyes hurt. Weird.
And…. *anti-whine* Kimi’s eyes are better today. The new drops seem to be working!!!! Any price is good as long as her eyes clear up! (though I’m still secretly whining a bit about the price)

Yeah, I thought it was “normal” to have one body part bigger than another, just the proportions vary for each person. 😕 This will totally shatter my self acceptance if my assumption was wrong. =P My feet are different, my boobs, finger thickness, and I too have one ear sightly lower than another so I have to bend my frames a bit.
Lokie, all those things you mentioned, change from my left to right also (boobs included). Something no one would notice unless I pointed it out. And even if they did notice, if they had a problem with it, well, it’s their problem is my thinking. Our body symmetry goes as far as (for most people), 2 of many things, one on each side of our center line. Personally, I’m very accepting so while others have brushed away friends I have because they have 9 or 11 fingers or toes (that have not been able to be changed), those folks have missed out on some beautiful hearted people. My gain, their loss. My judgment of myself is much harder than I could ever judge someone else.
Long posts, yea, my fault. Sorry. I do a lot of typing for a living and don’t realize how long things get because I type so fast. I’m not here much but I’ll try to curtail it.
I don’t like typing in white. For me, like you with the long posts of pink, it all starts to run together and hurts my eyes when I’m reading. I like those that break it up with colour. Are any of these colours any better? I have to find one most can read and one I like as well. Btw, if you can’t read it, again, you’re the only person to have come forward which, in my experience, means you’re not alone but had the understanding to know I’d not take it offensively and said so with innocent intentions. I’d just like to find a colour that sits well with everyone because one day I might have something important to say!
“Fate whispers to the wolf, you cannot withstand the storm; and the wolf whispers back, I AM the storm.”
Sway, those are all fine for me, but the purple one might have the same problems as the dark blue for, say DM. Since it’s dark, and all. :shrug: I have no problems with it. But thanks for being understanding. And I wasn’t complaining about long posts for you, just that it was more of a problem with longer posts. Post as long as you like! 🙂
And I got the pink thing from my mum.
And I’ve noticed that my rings fit different on both hands. And one leg is longer then the other. Although my one finger is out of contention, I damaged the joint on my index finger in highschool, and it never lost all of the size from the swelling. So it’s MUCH bigger then the other index finger.
