i just ate a cookie so maybe i'll kms
I’m breaking gender norms by being a woman with an avoidant attachment style
my mom and my dad started telling me almost everyday that i'm too skinny and it's beginning to look ugly skinny so i should stop losing weight
i keep telling them that i'm a med student so i'm losing in a healthy way and they shouldn't be concerned anymore bc whats in the past is in the past (my diagnosis) but i know i'm not healthy but i want to lose more weight (i'm not ""ugly skinny"" i'm just fat) idk
everything is fine it's not much to handle but idk
i gained 3kg but i'm super ashamed of updating my weight on my bio so I'll keep it the same until i reach it again 🫠🫠 (hopefully in one or two weeks)

today i forgot i had to see patients and took a lax, what a terrible decision 🫠🫠
I suffer from a very real & horrible condition called having knees that look f@ no matter the weíght i am 😭

when eating, why do i aim to eat at least 10g of protein per 100kcal?
↳ this means around 40% of calorie intake is protein based
1. increased satiation: protein makes you feel fuller for longer, helping in the initial stages of fasting. reducing calorie intake, reducing curb hunger/ binging, and improving insulin sensitivity*
2. boosts metabolism: protein digestion burns more calories than digesting carbs or fats, giving you a little metabolism boost
3. preserves muscle: protein helps maintain muscle during weight loss, keeping your metabolism higher - more muscle burns more kcals, even at rest
4. helps with muscle recovery: protein supports muscle repair (and i exercise almost every day, so i need a nice recovery)
*the better your body reacts to insulin, the better it regulates blood sugar levels, preventing sugar crashes (hypoglycemia triggers hunger because your body needs a fast source of energy to recover from it, and fast sources of energy usually include carbs and sugars), so eating more protein when you do eat literally means easier fasting
today i have two birthday parties, i'll have to be so careful and stay extra focused
