KPP's?

Pirata13

And Alix and other rosacea ladies--I use MetroCream (prescription) and it works REALLY well. I have problems mostly in winter--in summer my face looks awesome! But as soon as it's like 60 degrees everyday or lower--MetroCream. They have a Mertrogel too, but that one I think is alcohol based and dried my face out too much.

[QUOTE]RE: LDRs I was in an LDR for 2 1/2 years before he moved to be with me.  And for the first year i would get violently ill every time we'd be together; it was definitely me having a "nervous stomach."  But I knew FI was the one the first time i flew out to see him, on my bday, and instead of going out to a fancy restaurant as he had planned, he bought me pepto and gatorade and rubbed my back.

I agree with everyone who is scared of gaining a ton of weight after getting pregnant. My mom was skinnier than me until she had kids, and now she can't lose any of it. She's been on every diet program she could find, and is now researched surgery after her sister had it. Last summer, I ate nothing but salads and biked to work everyday, and didn't lose a single pound. I also am scared that my boobs will balloon up even more. I'm already somewhere between a DD and DDD and I friggin hate it. It's nearly impossible for me to find a bra that fits, and if it's padded even a little, it's always too small. I also have a small ribcage, which makes it even more difficult.

Whoever mentioned psoriasis on the scalp, I have something similar. I had to get a biopsy for them to come back with subhorreic dermatitis (sp?). It is basically super itchy and scaly, all over my head but mostly at the nape of my neck. It also caused a lot of my hair to fall out, so no matter how I wear my hair, I always have a bald spot showing. I also hate my hair in general because it is a nasty giant frizzball, and I can't straighten OR curl it, because it never cooperates.

But anyway, it makes me sad that so many people have body issues on here, but at least I know I'm not alone. I never judge people for the way they look, unless they weight like 500 pounds and wearing a shirt meant for a size 2 (I see people like this in my store all the time). I judge myself for pretty much everything though

Same here, lvb. I will have the talk with our {future} daughter so that she will know not to settle and to ask for what she wants, and my H will have the talk with our {future} son, so that he will not feel like a failure and will know other steps to take.

This will, of course, be right before our warnings of death and destruction if they do anything stupid.

But I plan to be very open with my kids about it, because I think kids that are more educated about stuff like that (and drugs and whatnot) and feel more comfortable going to their parents will be less likely to go buckwild if given the chance.

My sister and I are this way too.  go to Saks and get the molded bra by Fantasie.  It comes in 32 DD and DDD and E and F!!!   Also, Wacoal makes one that is a minimizer, it also comes in 30 and 32 widths.

Oh, and I guess I can post an actual secret. I was going to submit this to KPS, but never got around to making one:

I never had a boyfriend before DH, and have never even had a guy have a crush on me. I'm jealous of girls who cheat and who have a long history because it means more than one person has actually been interested in them. If DH and I ever divorce, I'm worried I'll never find another man to love me.

Thanks, manda! I didn't realize I was so adamant about the topic. I agree with OWN. We have every right to O's as dudes (if not more).

I actually owned a vibrator from previous LDRs before I met my FI.  He told me I'm the first girl he's met who ever owned up to having a vibrator.  I think he's the one who suggested that we add it to our fun, although we don't use it that often.

For you all with scalp issues, I cannot recommend T-gel (that's coal tar) enough.  It does stink, though.

Qwerty, I get what you're saying. I have had a few other relationships, but in general I've found that most men don't really seem to get me, and for the most part the ones I attract tend to be creepers who don't actually get me either, but are desperate. I feel so, so blessed to have found somebody in FI who actually appreciates, accepts, and understands me for who I am, while at the same time being something of a superstud himself. I just look at it as having the good fortune to meet the guy who's the right fit. :)

[QUOTE]Okay, ladies that don't O. It is time to TAKE CHARGE.  You do NOT have to go through life without having orgasms. If you are happy, your H is happy. Even if you think it'll hurt his feelings to introduce things (oral, toys, different positions), the first time you are super duper happy, he'll never want to go back to before again. For us, I'm always first. That's just what works for us. If my H can help me first, he knows that I'll then do whatever he wants (not whatever, but you know what I mean).   <strong>If you don't O from penetration, then incorporate what works for you into foreplay and then after you go, y'all can move into what works for him. You CAN have an orgasm EVERYTIME.</strong> You just have to figure out what works for you. Once you figure that out, then you are good to go. Make it happen, ladies. /sex ed

I've been in and out of this thread all day.  I also have some mild body issues at the moment, which is completely ridic since I have a very healthy BMI and am not overweight in the slightest.  But, I just *feel* bigger and heavier than I ever have.  It's distressing.  But, Brie is right, life is too short to worry about such things.  Implenting that mind set is difficult, though.

A secret: I'll give oral any time he wants, but I will *never* recieve it.  It totally grosses me out.  Luckily, I can orgasm from regular ole sex so it's never been an issue.  I often wonder if my fiance thinks this is awesome or weird.

You just haven't KNOWN who had a crush on you! :) I found growing up it was always the shy guys that would have crushes and never tell a sole until years down the road they'd be like "oh yeah I had a crush on you back in the day." I'm like oh REALLY why didn't you say something??

You look like a pretty, nice, normal girl in your pic so it's really hard for me to believe that no boy has ever had a crush on you. Please don't feel that way.

I have 2:

Much like qwerty, I'm pretty sure no one has ever loved me before FI. And sometimes I'm scared that the reason I want to get married is to hang onto him (even though I know with my head he isn't going anywhere) because no one else ever would love me.

I think sometimes the boards, especially FFF and the like, make me more petty and immature than I'd like to be, including IRL. I've worked at becoming a better person over the past few years, and the "culture of E" sometimes drags me back to my former level. I hope people on the boards don't think I'm as immature as I think I present myself here.

And on a side note relating to the last one, a few years ago I started cutting "friends" out of my life who were users and who pretty much just drained me emotionally. Now I realize that almost all my friends do that to some extent (have enough drama to make me feel emotionally wrecked), but if I cut everyone off, I wouldn't have any friends left. The ones I have now are at least actual "friends" to me, though. Most of the time.

Birdie1483

I have another secret. I've been on TK all day and haven't really done much work yet.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Re: body issues.

I've lost 25 pounds since January. FI, my friends, and my parents all noticed. But I'm still worried about my wedding pics and that I'll be a "fat bride" since I am, still, fat. And now my weight loss has slowed. Ideally, I have 70 more pounds to lose.

However, I agree that people are always more hard on themselves than on other people. When my friends who are a size 8 complain how they are "disgusting" I used to think, "well, they must think I'm a troll." But someone I mentioned that to once was horrified and said that it definitely isn't the case. People are just self-critical. Except for those few assholes who really do hate fat people. PS, one of my BMs is a size 0 or 00, depending on the day and she hates it. She's also 5'3" and it's super hard to find clothes for her that aren't designed for 11-year-olds.

Thanks for your knd words, and I want to believe you, I really do, but I just don't. I was the butt of a lot of jokes in high school. I went to a small school where everyone knew everyone. Whoever posted that secret about not have friends that weren't faking, that could have been mine as well. I was used a lot for my homework, and then as soon as the class was over, they wouldn't speak to me. Anytime someone found out I had a crush on a guy, he would be teased endlessly about me, and I was made into a huge joke. Guys won't even be friends with me (not that I have that many girl friends either). When I went out with friends before I was engaged, they would be hit on constantly, while I was left there ignored. Not that those guys were all that great, but I've never been pretty enough or fun enough to be around that any guys haev even shown a friendly interest in me.

I will admit that I am very awkward in social situations, and usually don't know what to say or how to act, so that may be part of it.

I've gotten a lot more ok with myself now that I'm away from that town and all those people, but when I see how many friends DH has, and even knowing that he had girlfriends in HS (none serious though) it still hurts.

I'm completely on this train. I went to school with H, was in marching band with him, had a HUGEMONGOUS crush on him, but we never talked to each other. When H and I reconnected on facebook 2 years ago I was surprised he even knew my name. After talking for a while he said he definitely knew who I was and even thought I was really cute, he just wasn't into dating, he had more "important" things to do. The moral of the story is: you never know who might have their eye on you!

Birdie1483

I wish there was a pill that we could take to get rid of all of the traumatic memories we have from high school. I didn't have that many real friends either in high school. It makes me self concious today to think that even in college, I didn't come out with that many. I'll have about 2-3 sorority sisters at my wedding, if they come. It really wasn't until after college that I made real friends. I see FI and his high school buddies and wish I could have a group of friends who have known me forever. I have to tell myself you can't compare though, because girls are an entirely different breed than guys. There's a reason why dogs run in packs and cats are ok chillin by themselves!
