I did whatever i want over my holiday break and just accepted that i would gain around 10 pounds, but even though all I did for two weeks was sleep for 16 hours a day and eat limitless amounts of holiday cookies, when i finally weighed myself at the end, I actually lost 2 pounds. I genuinely don't understand how that's possible, but I guess it's a Christmas season miracle.

Some little things that always make me happy:
>Clean, fresh warm sheets that still smell like laundry detergent
>A peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk
>A warm bubble bath when it's cold outside
>Waking up before my alarm clock and realizing I still have time to sleep
>Cat sits on my lap while I'm at the PC

I quit drinking nonnies. I was in the alcoholic /g/ thread telling another
nonnie they inspired me to continue my taper. I feel way, way better than I thought I would, and I shit you not, I went from drinking an entire pint of rum a day in December to a week of one glass bottle of light beer a day. I haven't drank in 3 days. I sleep better, I feel better, I'm less anxious every morning, the only issue is I have stinky terrible night sweats, but hopefully after pushing all the grime out of my body and eating healthy that will neutralize. Hurray for not being physically addicted to a substance that makes me fat and scared!

Last night I had an epiphany about how much I actually love being a woman. Back when I was in high school, I had a brief phase where me and my best friend TIF'd out. I had my friends start calling me by a "male" version of my name and using he/him pronouns on me. It came to a point I didn't like my breasts and wanted them gone. At one point my friend got two binders to use from a they/them she made friends with and ge me the extra one to use. I tried it once and quit because the binder was too small and I couldn't breathe in it. I'm so glad I never continued. I love my breasts now so I couldn't imagine not having them. I am not friends with the TIF I mentioned anymore but last time we talked, she is still very much a TIF and doesn't seem like she'll ever snap out of it. That's unfortunate, because I wish I could have shared the following with her.
Women age better than men - Even the most unattractive-considered middle-aged women tends to look better than a walled moid of the same age that has a receding hairline and fat gut. Our softer and gentler features are simply much harder to get rid of. Thigh highs were made for us because we can have nice legs. They look atrocious on TIMs because they have fridge bodies.
Women govern better than men. See the Mosuo in China, Queen Elizabeth of Russia, current Mexican president…It turns out you can be a more sensible leader when you are not a rape ape.
Women sound and move better. I'm tomboyish, but even I can have grace because we still have feminity built into us. The same delicate movements can't be replicate as well by moids without them looking retarded, gay, or creepy. We can sound sensual and husky without having to sound like Elmo.
Women feel better. It is known that sex feel better for women than it does for men. Maybe that's because we actually spend time savoring the experience instead of going "URGH!", splooging everywhere and then calling it done. We are more selective because our bodies are a temple.
I could go on but now it's clear why TIMs want to be us so badly. Except I guess for the days I have to deal with period cramps and the thought of going through childbirth, I'm glad I was born a woman and that my retarded brain back in high school didn't actually go through with mutilating an important part of my body. I treasure my boobs too much to get rid of them. Plus, real boobs feel better than a TIM's bolt-ons ever will. I hope what I wrote will help any of you ladies going through the same and thank you if you read this.

I love sharing pictures of my husbando with her, I love telling her how much I love her, I love joking with her, I love that she’s always there for me.

>>2352436Nona, I'm so glad to see your post! A few days ago, I was thinking about something similar. Since I was little, I’ve been a bit of a tomboy, and many times I felt rejection toward certain features of my body, like my breasts, height, etc. Over time, I realized that my discomfort isn’t really about those features but about the things society has told us we must do if we’re women. For example, I learned that I don’t hate my breasts but rather how sexualized they are, and I also hate bras.
When I was younger, I even thought I was trans; I’m glad I didn’t fall into that trap, kek. Instead I've learned to love my body, and to ignore whatever bullshit society tells me I should do or be.

Im sort of rambling to myself but music is my light and I’m hopeful to make my own shit and study theory. Sometimes I feel untalented but as this year has gone by I’ve been feeling more and more expressive. It’s so stupid to let the limitations of what others have been or not been able to do in the past or how people will perceive you if you put out shit. This age of post-irony, recording random people for being “weird”, and having to satirize yourself to feel good doing shit really made me think about what i’ve been doing to myself, mentally. I think in certain areas I’m still pretty sad about myself of my accomplishments but i’ve been really making steps forward whether it’s creatively or just how productive I am. I am proud of myself

It's early to tell but I think I'm going to be really happy at the new job I just started this week. It's a fully remote creative position, offers full benefits, and pays better than any job I've had in the past. I thought I'd never find another role like the job I got laid off from last year, but this one's shaping up to be even better! I hope it lasts.

Feeling proud of myself for being so outgoing despite it not being in my nature at all. I use to be a hikki and didn’t leave my house for a year, coupled with paralyzing social anxiety for years after that. I still have moments but I feel like I’m not lying when I say I can talk with and get along with most anyone I meet now. People like me and I never thought I would be able to say that.

I love my older sister so much. I'm so overwhelmed with her thoughtfulness and selfless behaviour. I'll always be so thankful for her. She's always looking out for me and willingly putting me first. She knows I struggle and does everything to accommodate me, everything about her feels so safe to me. I love visiting her place and playing Fortnite together, it takes me right back to us playing on her DS together. This even extends to her gf, she's also the sweetest to me and they both feel like family. My sister makes me want to be the best person I can, I really don't know how she does it but I hope she rubs off on me and everyone I am kind to will meet a piece of my sister.

Nonas, I'm so happy, like over the moon. I have been trying to learn how to use a can opener (quite the old fashioned type) for many, many months now. I was incredibly frustrated that I just couldn't seem to figure it out, I asked people to show me but never caught on. The frustration was getting intense and I had started giving up. I finally figured it out today and successfully opened a tin with it! I have so many tinned goods I can use now. I didn't know you were supposed to squeeze hard enough to pierce the top..

I'm almost at my goal weight!! I have a history of struggling with food, weighing myself, and counting calories, but I've been doing okay and I feel so good now. I did gain weight over the last 10 years that I've been wanting to lose, but it's been a struggle and I felt so hopeless about losing it because my weight seemed to just yo-yo back all the time. I had a health scare a few months ago because I was diagnosed as prediabetic (diabetes also runs in my family), so I decided to forgo any concerns about my weight while I figured out how to eat in a way that wouldn't make me turn into a full blown diabetic. An unintended side effect was that my weight began to drop, and when I retested, my A1c was in the normal range! My weight did plateau for a while, so I decided to count calories again (which I've always been very hesitant to do again), and I can actually do it without feeling the doom spiral of obsession.
A few years ago I also began weightlifting for my back pain, and then I eventually started running too. I've never felt so happy and confident in my body. I think it's fun to make high protein recipes, and I love finding new tasty high volume recipes to try too. I haven't really felt any loss in strength despite the weight loss either.
It's taken me so, so long to be comfortable in my body, but I've finally made it and it feels so great. I don't look like someone who goes to the gym, but I deadlift almost 1.5x my bodyweight on a weekly basis and regularly run 5 miles for the hell of it, so I'm still happy. I wanted to lose this weight to prove to myself that I could do it, so even if I gain weight again, I can lose it again.
