It’s Tom Holland I’m dead

As somebody who does weight training and whose parents also do weight training, to a much higher degree, and knows quite a lot: The kind of skinny that you get via overly-restrictive diets like keto are unhealthy, and often, these diets don't even work. The healthiest human body is strong, not skinny. To be strong, you need muscle. And to grow muscle, you need three things: Exercise, protein, and calories. The exercise is obvious. Exercise the part of you that you want to get stronger. Muscle will probably grow there if you keep it up for long enough. Protein helps you gain muscle. And nobody ever became an elite powerlifter on 800 kcals per day. Please look up photos of actual powerlifters - NOT bodybuilders. Note how everybody who's actually strong, is also pretty fat. Another big factor is that these overly restrictive diets tend to cut out all the enjoyable foods - so cake, pizza, burgers, and so forth. So these foods become "Forbidden", and therefore more desirable. Eventually, you're going to snap and binge-eat all those foods you've been denying yourself - and gain back all that weight. The ideal diet should have enough calories to at least maintain a healthy body weight, and that's it. Stick to your calorie limit, and free eat otherwise. You've got the calories for that burger, or that KFC, or that double chocolate muffin? Cool! Go ahead! And even then, having a few days where you go over doesn't matter. Most people will unconsciously track their nutrients, calories, and such when given a chance. I naturally default to about 2000 calories per day, myself. This is more than I'd like, but 1800 is enough to maintain a healthy weight and not leave me hungry, so I go for that. HAVING SAID ALL THAT: This is all OPTIONAL. Being overweight or obese is unhealthy, yes, but if you choose to have excessive weight or body fat, that's YOUR choice to make. You shouldn't be shamed for that. It's a choice just like smoking. It's unhealthy, but nobody's ever been denied healthcare because they're a smoker. I choose to follow a weightlifter's diet and do training for the following reasons: - I have the right genetics and build to be a powerlifter from a young age, and I like the idea of that. - I don't enjoy how I look and feel when overweight. - I want to get stronger. Somebody might have different reasons for not tracking calories or exercising. Maybe they enjoy food too much to restrict calories. Maybe they have chronic pain that makes it difficult to exercise. I don't know. Being overweight is, scientifically, unhealthy. But so is smoking, not getting enough sleep, and consuming too much caffeine. Nobody ever went to the doctor and was told to cut out their morning cup of coffee before they could be prescribed life-saving heart medication. Why is being fat any different?

my new roommate said that her last roommate had an eating disorder and then talked to me about her clean eating and weight loss goals and how she buys clothes that are a little snug to motivate her to lose more

and like honestly? i have anorexia but this is why i constantly talk about the dangers of the “health and fitness” industry and diet culture bc we have essentially normalized certain symptoms of disordered eating but it’s ok if it’s under the guise of health i guess???

like how is calling it “clean” eating NOT a way to moralize food

how is intermittent fasting NOT the same thing as skipping meals

how come when i buy clothes that don’t fit, it’s something i have to tell my therapist about because it means i am putting pressure on myself to fit into them, but if a “normal” person does it then it’s just motivation for them?

where is the fucking line???

and more importantly when are we going to start acknowledging that the entire world is pro-ana but that’s too harsh of a description so we slap some health buzzwords on it to make it palatable

when are we going to take responsibility for encouraging disordered behavior instead of labeling those of us with EDs as the crazy/imbalanced ones

your fucking Whole30 or keto or whatever “clean” diet you’re on is just as restrictive as the diets we create for ourselves due to our disorders. but we are the crazy ones, right

Modern Torchwood

So like imagine Torchwood but in 2018 where the team like to make memes of each alien they find and see who can make the best one.

Or the team bringing Jack along with them to a pride parade because he’d never been to one before as they never had them in the 51st century. (Plus decorating the hub with bisexual flags during pride month!)

Tosh and Ianto creating an alien spotting website whilst they’re drunk but the pictures are dubbed ‘too realistic’ and no one believes them.

Owen sometimes texting the Torchwood group chat in entirely emojis just because he can and because Tosh secretly finds it cute.

Tosh and Ianto having multiple conversations on different message apps whilst still managing to get work done to the others dismay.

‘Torchwood outside the government, beyond the police and without decent signal seriously who thought an underground base was a good idea?’

The team actually communicating and opening up with each other so they can work better together and get to know each other as friends not just work colleagues!!!

Gwen coming up with the ship names Janto and Towen and always trying to set them up together so she can finally take them all on a triple date with her and Rhys.

POSITIVE BISEXUAL REPRESENTATION WHERE THEY ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THEIR SEXUALITIES 💗💜💙

Owen having a secret Instagram page for all his plants because they’re his children and they all have names and deserve love too!

I just miss Torchwood :(
