Harry searched the back of the crowd and saw Brigid looking out of the galley. He made a series of hand gestures then pointed to Blynd and made more. She made some gestures of her own, saluted flippantly, thrusting breasts out far enough to escape the cooks apron worn as a single piece of clothing then marched away, butt bare.

It's really incredibly painful having a tooth pulled in the chair. I can't imagine having one rot and break out in your mouth over a period of time like that though. Mine was a bitch for a day before I could get to the dentist and have it dealt with.

I'm sorry you're in pain. I'm a week after the fact tomorrow and still in a fair bit of discomfort after the extraction. Mine was a top left molar. The swelling has mostly gone. (I posted a photo of that on the Playground for shits and giggles)... but still having a little issue with bleeding due to blood thinners.

I hope you recover quickly and the pain is easing. :rose:

It was actually soft! So weird.

Why didn't you?!

I don't understand why you think your face is going to be so fucked? Mine isn't? Well... no more than usual. :D

It's really not the bad - I'm sure.

I didn't address it earlier because I straight up thought I just broke a filling. I didn't know the stuff breaking off was tooth. When she asked me if I wanted to "try to save the tooth" I lost my shit because I legit thought they'd just fill it. I had a car full of people I was supposed to take out to eat after. It never entered my mind it was that bad.

And I think my face is gonna be fucked because the dental surgeon who came and talked to me about how bad my face was gonna be fucked felt the need to do that. My gf kept telling me it was a money game and I look fine but they don't just do that and she has a full face because good genetics so she doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about.

I have really angular facial structure with not a lot of bone in it, which is fine when I have all my teeth. But my cheekbones are basically right under my eyes, and then there's nothing there until you get to the jaw, which is not the case for most people, apparently. I don't know, I'm not a dentist or bone expert or anything, I just know he told me it wasn't super common. Also my mouth is pretty small, compared to what it should be. So I need the bone that my teeth attach to be strong, to keep my face full, because my actual bone there isn't long enough to do that. And if you lose a lot of teeth- as I mentioned, I lost 3 altogether on that side, the bone there starts losing it's shape and degrading, so my face is going to sink in because my cheekbones stick out so far and my actual structure below that is going to just kind of- the way he explained it to me, disintegrate?? Like just stop being a thing?? It sounded fucking terrifying. I'll admit it, I was legit crying and shit during this conversation.

I can fix it by having surgery where they'll implant fake roots to preserve the tissue and maybe grow new bone, but I mean... I can't. Rich people can. Because it's $17,000.

Or I can get a partial for a little under $800 to fake it and then my cheeks won't look all sunken and hollow and ghoulish. Which is what I'm going to do I guess. But that's not going to fix the actual problem, it's just a cosmetic change. But I can't fucking... I can't look like a methhead. I can't live like that. It's literally all I have.

Sometimes I regret the choice to not have children.

All of that free labor gone. Poof.

I don't think they do that. They try to do that and they fuck up whatever it was but you have to play it off like they absolutely are not in the middle of the fucking way because you sincerely want to in a way that I cannot explain to other people.

My health care provider put me on a low carb lifestyle. So I should take your suggestions over a Dr?

Absolutely not, there are valid medical reasons to go low-carb. If you're on dyalisis they put you on a renal diet that's pretty similar to low-carb for example. That's because most foods that have a lot of carbs also have a phosphates or sodium or whatever, but my point stands that there are legitimate medical reasons to be on a low-carb diet.

The issue is saying things like, "I lost weight on this" rather than, "This is a plan that I was put on for my health".

Because that makes people think that it's a healthy way to lose weight. And we all know it's NOT. I said, several times to please talk to an actual doctor before you started any kind of restrictive eating, and I would HOPE that that would make my stance clear.

My ass is losing weight too, because I've been living on soup and that shit makes you feel fuller longer because liquids empty from the stomach slower than solid food, but I don't tell everyone they need to be on a liquid diet just because I am. Because it's NOT safe in the long run, and especially stuff like whole food liquid diets, those fastings or "juice cleanses" will give you explosive diarrhea.

I mean if I add it up I probably only ate about 500kcal yesterday which is... yeah I gotta not... also though part of that is that I switched to that sugar free kool-aid because I'm trying to wean myself down to water and I got a freaky high amount of my calories from pure sugar which... I'm making positive lifestyle changes. It's not as good, but the water tastes like nothing so I gotta train myself to stop expecting things to taste good.

Also because it hurts to have anything in my mouth because my jaw is still fucked up. Like they had to cut that shit out that whole side of my face is fucked up. I've had so many comments about how nice it is to finally have me shut the fuck up. I talk as much as I type and I guess it's really annoying because that joke is starting to slide into actual insult territory.

For most people a low-carb diet is a great way to shut down their kidneys and fuck up their cardiovascular system, especially as it relates to blood sugar regulation, since slow-release sugar in carbs is what the body is DESIGNED to run on, which is why it's supposed to be your primary food source. Also, it's cheap and relatively sustainable to farm, but that's a whole other thing.

So to tell someone that it made you lose weight as if you want them to try it to lose weight, which in context is how it came off, instead of like, "My doctor put me on this for X reasons" isn't cool.

I also just plain don't like the whole weight loss industry as a concept. I've just had to deal with so many anorexics and any restricted eating IS disordered eating. If you're listening to a diet over your body and it's not being supervised by a doctor that shit can get real addictive real fast, and it's just dangerous.

Again, with the sources. I am vain as fuck. I was crying over my appearance. I stand by my assertion that if your vanity is more important than your health, and you're making an informed, conscious choice as a grown-ass adult, then go for it.

My problem is people who pretend that weight loss is healthy, or that it's something to strive for. It's not about health. If it was, people who wanted to lower their risk would make healthy lifestyle changes under a doctor's supervision when they can afford it, and using their best judgement using what they know about nutrition and health when they can't- which is a requirement. I mean you can't get through high school without learning that. So if you can't afford to go to a doctor you can still look at a fucking food pyramid and see that grains should make up the bulk of your diet so you can get the slow-release carbs from them that your body runs on, the protein from the gluten, the calorie density to make it through the day, and whatever else is in there that I'm not a doctor to tell you about. The thing that makes you shit. Fiber. Whole wheats are full of fiber. Soaks up cholesterol, you know, all that shit you need it to do. Like if you're willing to forgo that because you'd rather be unhealthy and skinny, then that needs to be the choice. The choice doesn't need to be based on misinformation and lies.

I don't mind people making the wrong choice on purpose, it's the lies that bother me, the spreading misinformation.

Like you wanna go low-carb, out of vanity, it should be treated like any other bad decision.

And if you wanna go low-carb because you have a health issue that demands it, then it should be treated /as a medical issue/.

These are two different things.

I think people who want to get me with a "gotcha" who point to my obvious flaws and poor decision making aren't getting the point I'm trying to make. Which is that I'm making the wrong choices ON PURPOSE. I got it wrong ON PURPOSE. And to me, that's fine. But I don't smoke and tell other people that they should too because it's an appetite suppressant and they'll lose weight even though that's empirically proven to be true. Because I don't WANT people to be misinformed.

You posting "I lost weight on low carb" is EXACTLY like me posting "I lost weight smoking", except one was banned in the 70s and the other wasn't.

Lots of dangerous shit causes weightloss. Lots of people lose weight on meth, too.

Weight loss is not usually a good thing- weight /maintenance/ is. If you're losing more than a pound a week you're fucking something up. A net loss of 3500kcal per 7 days is the maximum safe sustainable weight loss for most people. Of course there will be outliers and people with medical reasons to lose more than that, but for the general population that's the maximum healthy weight loss schedule.
 
Do you know how bad it sucks, just to point out how MUCH I wrote up there, to be on painkillers that make you mouthy and not be able to talk?

I have no mouth and I must scream.

I didn't even mean to check lit. I was trying to figure out how big the bottom of a full bedframe was, on google but ugh. I check lit too much.

I need to just put a piece of wood down instead of slants.

I mean if anyone knows what those dimensions are that would help.
