Refinement of a Courtesan

basically a "i'm tired of everyone's bullshit including my own" tumblr lol

the only thing i have on there so far is a few old posts from years ago that i didn't delete and my current fitness routine (it's getting intense ya'll) and my current eating regime (it's a bit intense as well).

i've thought about just moving those posts and everything over to here but i actually have followers on this blog and i dont want to trigger anyone incase they have an ED

when i first discovered hypergamyblr (way back when it was still known as the tumblr sugar bowl) i LOVED following and looking at everyone's pics and writings of their personal experiences...

and i always said that if i "made it", even if it was only one gift, one dinner, one "allowance", i would post it and i would talk about my experiences.

but now my camera roll says otherwise lol

i have so many blogs across tumblr you would think that i have some kind of addiction with creating new blogs (perhaps i do lol).

but i really need to condense them or at the very least - put all of my personal posts (especially my pics and my writings) onto one blog.

i like having some kind of "timeline"; and going back and looking at them

warmup - 10 mins ab workout - 15 mins walking/aerobic/cardio mix - 47 mins, 47 secs cooldown/stretching - 10 mins

i know some would say that i need to include strength training and they're absolutely right, i do.

so i guess it's rather fitting that my journey of refinement starts here.

i have a history of digestive issues. going all the way back to my childhood. years ago, i was diagnosed as having IBS, but lately it has gotten worse and the usual remedies haven't been working as well.

ironically, they got worse right around the time i started a weight loss journey.

i was airing my frustrations to Grey while also telling him what my plans were to deal with it when he suggested that i stopped guessing what was wrong with me and go to a doctor.

so i took my ass to a functional medicine doctor/nutritionist.

BEST DECISION.

after an appointment that lasted over an hour, and completing a very lengthy medical questionnaire along with a food diary,

she diagnosed me as not having IBS but actually having SIBO along with chronic constipation (sorry if that's tmi ya'll lol)

and the reason why it's gotten worse is because *drum roll*

i've been eating healthier [because of my weight loss journey].

apparently when you have SIBO (which stands for small intestinal bacteria overgrowth), some food that is healthy, actually isn't healthy for YOU because of the bacteria.

i won't go into detail what SIBO is (feel free to google it) but once she explained it my symptoms made sense and everything just *clicked*

so now i'm on a special diet and my natural, herbal medicine is on the way.

that the best way for me to document my "refinement" (level up, glow up, whatever you want to call it) is to just post what i'm doing on a daily basis plus any thoughts i may have at the moment

ideally i would post some kind of grandiose plan with lots of details, include which step i'm currently on, etc but it changes so quickly that it really wouldn't make any sense to do that lol

i'm wearing it right now and i can't stop smelling myself lol.
