3dblr is such a helpful community to have, or I can at least say this for myself.
I've learned so much about harm reduction from some of you, as well as what food i can make/e@t without going above my limit.
I know it's obviously a disorder and all of the other things that could be said as a fact, but also I firmly believe that without community, it would be so much worse. All of the acceptance, unwavering support in recovery when people want that, as well as not forcing anyone to do anything. A lot of people don't get that sort of freedom.
I think back at people who lived before the internet who had an 3d, some like; Karen Carpenter (who died from it), Jane Fonda, Sally Field, and even some of our older family members. I imagine it must've been even more isolating, plus absolutely less support and harm reductive information readily available.
While we aren't lucky, we do have eachother, and all of this other insight gifted to us by eachother. All of this proves to me just how important community and solidarity can be.
I had my first strawberries these time of year. They were fucking huge and juicy and so, so red and they reminded me of that huge ass banana I had the other day.
Fruit are so fucking good they're like my candy
(I don't even like that packaged junk anymore, but now when I crave it's oats and yoghurt and honey and - thankfully - fruit, which is still super easy to binge on, even if it's healthier)
if ed, why no skinny
Was trying to read a book while pacing around my room but a couple pages in I realized just how heavy that thing was like okay, may not be the best to read while walking then, but also how am I supposed to read all that? Ugh
I've been trying to read more lately, because I always thought it was a bit of a waste of time really (I just sit around and do nothing even remotely productive, especially when it's novels I'm reading (I'm trying to get myself a couple scientific books now though so that I'll also feel like I am really doing something for my brain and interests then)) but then I got myself a digital watch and I've really started paying attention to my steps and work outs now and I got the brilliant idea of "what if I read during that?"
My neck is not thanking me. The books are not thanking me. I am NOT thanking me. But it's cool! It's books, after all.
And I used to read a lot as a kid, but that was because I got bullied (especially about my body) and literally had nothing else to do during break time back then because no one wanted to hang out with the fatty kid. Anyway, and that's one of the reasons I kind of stopped reading novels, but now I'm getting back into it!
I know that's a random ass lost but whatever. I don't even plan to write that much, I just wanted to tell you about my heavy book and then the words just started flowing lol
I just baked a cake for my Dad's birthday tomorrow
I haven't baked anything in a very long time and I was just remembering how I used to love eating the batter
Not anymore though
I really hope I will get around actually having to eat it, I think I'll just say I'll take a piece to school with me maybe
Soooo these busy days I mentioned are over and I have in fact reached my lowest weight since summer! It's probably not that impressive but I am incredibly happy still. (And yes, I am in fact absolutely drained but I did have fun, I'm just so tired now 🥲)
Now I have this Sunday to get through, then a week of school when restricting will be easy of course, but then I'll have two weeks off due to Eastern....
I guess I'll really have to bury myself in work and exercise then and not give myself the chance to eat anything besides the meals I'll have to eat with my family.
Breakfast I should always be able to skip, dinner too I could say I take to my room to eat there because of school work or something, and then lunch I'll just have to always help preparing so I know exactly what we'll eat and so I can make at least my serving lower in calories.
Maybe I'll also have to resort to the sad Pinterest ana meals with half a cucumber and egg whites, because my parents don't seem to know an awful lot about nutrition, and as long as I eat anything they tend to not raise an eyebrow.
(No hate on these kind of meals, they're really a game changer, but since I tend to do OMAD and a small snack, I just really like to make my meals more colorful and more interesting)
I'll also have more time to exercise, then I know of two days on which I can fast, because we'll be travelling to my Grandma, and for a couple of days only my Dad and I will be home, and I have a feeling that will make not eating/eating low-cal meals even easier.
(Partly because the chance someone is going to be in the kitchen when I want to measure out my food will be lower lol)
I just want to sit next to the field leaning on her on a cool summer evening with a slight breeze allowing for light jackets and the music, chatter and light of the party we escaped from somewhere in the distance.
I want to hold her hand and taste the evening air and finally LIVE
Imagining, craving all that is so painful knowing I'm fat, thinking that all of the romance will be taken from that moment when all I can feel is myself jiggling as a fat blob next to her
I don't want feeling fat to overshadow what could be so many beautiful moments, because my body has taken so many of these from me
I just want to feel comfortable taking off my jacket to drape it around her shoulders instead of using it to cover my thighs and belly
That's the true reason I've got to be skinny until summer, heck, now, as soon as possible.
I'm SO BAD at stuff like that and it's probably really not that accurate but here's mine 🥲
i basically look like this guys (https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/1868017 )
mutuals rb with yours PLEASE I WANNA KNOW
I mean fruit in general are so awesome
My ed is forcing me to basically love all of them, even strawberries - which I used to despise before lol
But now they're like candy :D
strawberries actually might be the ultimate 3d safe food. 33cal per 100g and so yummy and sweet (especially in summer) to be able to satisfy that sweet tooth and reduce chance of a binge.
Having a white monster rn, man it's been months since I last had one, I missed that stuff
