Anyone here used a waist trainer before? What was it like? How did you make it comfortable? Just bought a latex one for my posture as it's gone to shit in iso.

I use one when I do cardio as I get below 8% bf to lose water weight, it helps look a bit leaner before competition. It’s not effective for “fat loss” It’s good for general posture but don’t go too tight (just before uncomfortable) because it will mess with your insides if too tight (think corsets).

Which one do you use AM1?

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

Anyone have ideas for teenage acne? My son has been going through it about a year now & he’s 12. He has whiteheads/blackheads on his face & back.

I did try this spot fix from Curology which is a little patch and you leave it on overnight. He said that worked great. He’s worried about acne scarring

Finally pulled the trigger on it. It seemed to work for my healthy hair but for the overly damaged bits it did not seem to work. Also I think the high heat from flat ironing during the procedure put the damaged hairs over the edge. Going to go back to the salon and see if there’s anything they can do. Anyone else have this happen? Just for some context I’ve been bleaching my hair for years and as a result it can’t really handle high heat
