There is nothing that will inspire you to try and lose weight more than someone taking a picture of you from the side without your knowledge during a week-long consultant conference and then including that picture in a powerpoint presentation for the SVP over your department (and possibly other high level executives as well).

Yes. this is coming from personal experience.

I would like to say over the past week since I officially started this journey, that I have lost 1 whole pound! (It's about the small, progressive victories, right?)

I might have lost another pound, but one of my coworkers just had to bring donuts to work on Wednesday and I have not yet built up enough willpower to completely resist them. But I did at least limit myself to just 2 (and one of the ham and cheese croissants that he also brought that morning).

#personal #mine #how the hell did I get fat?#when did I get fat?#I remember when people would comment about me being way too skinny!#I literally used to be just skin and bones #and very strong hidden muscles.#I want to get back to that #not quite that skinny but at least closer that than to where I am now #run-on sentence #I used to have those in my posts all the time #back when I was skinnier #maybe using those again will help?#might as well try anything

Some nice bathroom pics from the wedding this weekend 🚹💞💒

…

And their unfortunate little brother…

#I can’t stress enough how in your face that faucet reflection was #like it reflects right back at your face when you’re using the sink #it actually stretches way skinnier but I couldn’t get that pic without obscuring my face with the camera #and I already felt weird trying to get pictures of a bathroom faucet… but not enough to deter me from doing it to begin with 😌#gpoy

Corporate needs you to find the differences between this old man and this old man.

#aidan gillen #ben mendelsohn #i love it!#aidan did used to have a skinnier face #so i could see mixing them up a bit more back then #but not really #oh and in addition to their ears lying against their heads differently aidan's lobes are smaller #i love that you pointed out his nose being off center #i've always thought it was cute #and it makes it really easy to tell when his pictures are mirrored

[lauren cooper voice] am i bovvered? am i bovvered tho? i aint even bovvered!

favorite thing ever is to go on goodreads and search up the names of books i hate to see if Everyone Else has the same opinion on it

#they usually do #this is about a lesson in vengeance which i read on the way back from my writing program and hated with a passion #today on i hate pretentious mcs who have literally every privilege and treat poc/enby ppl to further their own growth #also ik this is dark academia but literally why the fuck do they drink hard alcohol so much #when its not alcohol its black coffee like ok. what the fuck #i love complex characters but they were both pretentious -> traumatized -> manipulative -> hatred just switching up the order #then theres . 'my dormmate wants to be skinny soooo bad she does everything to be skinny well IM skinnier than her and she wants to be me'#'my doormmate is black and has been ostracized from her sorority cult for having a personality :((( well IM white and i was ostracized for #KILLING MY GIRLFRIEND'#like there is a clear difference. plus that character was only ever there to further the mcs understanding of race which . bffr #this couldve been fine if it wasnt for the mc who is The pretentious dark academic white girl trying to pretend shes not like the other #pretentious dark academic white girls #'and then theres me. who like REAL literature and wears tweed blazers' like youre aware this is literally the starter pack for every 13 y.o #person who thinks this will make them Cool right . like you do know that .#wow. anyways #the overdue asteroid strikes again #i am in fact a hater

i'm so endlessly proud of myself, of how actually easily i can pull off 200-300kcal a day plus 30min workout and lots of walking. others might have strenght to go even further but this is insane to me; just a month ago i didn't think i could cut out snacks and big meals and now i rely on max. 2 100g meals a day and one or two lowcal snack.

#and im actually losing weight!! 💖#its only been a week of properly trying but its working and im so so hoping i can continue the cycle #a year ago i made a more laid back try at wl (without calorie counting & workout; just basically starving)#but i failed and then felt so disencouraged and mad at myself when i gained everything back. but i can do it #i can be skinnier than ive been in years i will do it i can do it #wore a tight black shirt today and my stomach didnt look that fat 💖 getting flatter

Love all the randos in y0 making fun of majima for being skinny calling him shit like stickman and other insulting things i forgot and they make sure to really cement that majima is your wireframe protagonist and then he takes off his shirt and hes literally normal shaped. Bullshit i want to see a scarecrow i dont like his beefy body , you hyped me up only to lie to me

#Yakuza loveblog #this is a loveblog becUse i likehim #my dog is curling up does anyone care ? does anyone care that ollie looks so cute and baby like ? ...#i hate it whenever majima puts on his glasses because i always want to peel his eyelid open #just had to survive a whole segment of him wearing those slutty translucent shades #and from the side you can see a bit of his left eye and like nghh i want to play with the loose skin so bad #i went back to edit my original post to say more and completely lost this train of thought #but like i would love for kiryu and majima to have drastically different body types. they already have incredibly different fighting styles #i want kiryu to be barrel shaped ........ i want majima to only eat properly when hes with someone he likes (which is never back in y0)#i made him run across the city to enter. resturant and eat two quail eggs #it was because i wasnt very injured but its still an extremely funny thing. to happen #now which would be sadder ... that majima literally cannot gain weight or that his appetite was completely shot after his time in the hole..#i mean he was alwys kind of bony as seen from the flashback scenes .... i need him to be skinnier ............#you should be able to wrap your arms around his waist twice over hands wrapped to your shoulders #you guys have no damn clue how much it turned me on to see his skinny little wrist just hanging limp in a manacle. enough space to clamp bot #in one cuff ...... his hands look huge compared to how tiny his wrists are ... need him to be skinnier ..!!!#im so obsessed with his body i want to get inside it and i dont care how .... i want to watch him eat ... i would like to feed him from my #hand and feel his shitty moustache graze my palm .. it was a pleasure to have your son on a leash #i want to see skin stretched tight over his shoulders i want to chew on him ... goe the. the last time i liked a skinny guy ws ... oh my god #it was all might

putting calorie counts on food packages in huge fonts did nothing to encourage me to eat healthier but it did everything to exacerbate my eating disorder

#i'm really struggling lately #i'm stuck in this mindset where i don't want to consume too many calories but i still think i deserve a treat #therefore i'll eat like 1 cookie and call it good for the day #no nutritional value but i'm losing weight because i'm not eating meals #i'm trying so hard to get myself to eat but all i really have are frozen meals #with the huge ass calories listed right there #i just look at it and put it back in the freezer #and i'm so frustrated because i haven't felt this way since high school #it's been years. i really thought i was okay #now i'm even looking at my 10-calorie multivitamin thinking 'do i really need these extra calories?'#but i've gotten through this before and i'll get through it again #the good thing about this is i'm much more self aware than i was when i was 15 #now i'm not thinking 'i've got to get skinnier' i'm thinking 'i've got to get more mentally well'#lmao #ed tw #eating disorder tw

FAT PIGEON HAS RETURNED I MISSED HIM SO MUCH 🥺

#fat pigeon tag #wood pigeon #columba palumbus #for weeks he was just fighting that other pigeon constantly and rarely did anything else #so he never visited and i got increasingly worried abt him #feathers were flying everywhere and even here you can see he's missing a lot of feathers and is much skinnier #i wish males weren't so territorial :(#ik it's the circle of life and natural selection and shit but i was worried fat pigeon was gonna be bullied out of his home #and it's not safe out there there are so many cattis that are excellent hunters and my dogs scare them away from here so it's safer #but he's back now and im so glad bc first of all im lov him and second of all i needed this #i've been in kind of a slump lately bc im just really burned out #existence itself is tiring for me and owl city wasn't lying when he said ''im far too tired to fall asleep''#bc my insomnia ironically gets worse when im burned out and need more sleep and i get endlessly frustrated with it #and i've just been so. not knowing what to do with myself?? bc like i have adhd so i can't do nothing that's torture #but everything else just compounded my fatigue and when you mix that with depression you get everything that usually chers you up just #not being fun anymore. and being just another Thing that tires you out even more #it's so hard to get out of those slumps bc it's not just mental it's physical. i've been physically exhausted #and anything i could have done to get myself out of it required energy i didn't have #but then i saw fat pigeon and just. my mood did a complete 180 #i have been so happy and energetic today and obviously all my problems aren't magically solved but that's what it feels like #like i feel like im top of the world rn?? there is a reason this blog is titled ''antidepressants with wings'' bc that's what pigeons are #to me at least. i love them sm 🥹#i wish there was a way i could tell fat pigeon that i would literally die for him and he's changed my life #ok so i MAY have bipolar disorder. but idc im gonna ride this high as long as i can

Read some studies today and over 1/3 of americans are overweight as in bmi 25 or up, and over 1/3 are obese as in bmi 30 or up (and newer studies say 40% or more are obese). So over 2/3 of americans are overweight, possibly up to 70% or more. Fatphobia is awful for a million fucking reasons, and one small one is simply - it's saying a majority of people don't deserve decent Healthcare or treatment in employment. Fatphobia causes Healthcare discrimination and workplace discrimination like worse health outcomes, doctors dismissing, losing employment opportunities.

To me it seems like an excuse for skinny people to discriminate in a way that's for some fucking reason socially tolerated even though it's discrimination against the majority of the population or at least a huge chunk of the population (if people only start being absolutely shit to people when they're obese but realistically I know doctors can be fatphobic to anyone they think looks fat so). Obese people are 30-40%+ of the population.

#rant #fatphobix #feel free to ignore me #i have no studies to back up this next bit but i lowkey think the fatphobic treatment is race and class motivared #since fatphobia is deeply tied to racism #and i am assuming the richer people can afford to manage to be the skinnier of the general populace #which like. on a college campus of the americans who can afford college u do tend to see more of a majority of skinny people #when in reality theyre the minority and not the average #the average american is fat. the majority of americans are. its so fucked up that #doctors use it as an excuse to mistreat and HARM patients #that people lose jobs over it. that people face daily harrassment for it #no one should even if only 1% of people were fat.#but jesus fuck its one of the biggest modes of discrimination of sooooo many people #and its tolerated??? why the fuck is it tolerated??? the people perpetuating the discrimination are the minorit6

its weird as fuck because people tell me i'm a fairly unique person and yet, and yet, it feels like there is someone who just so happens to be me, but a little bit better. a little funnier, a little better at art, a little skinnier. a little easier to like.

and i can't even blame them for choosing whoever it is over me, because like, fuck, i would too, you know?

#my current closest friend found a guy that theyve described as “just like me” fucker even looks like me same hair and shit #is just. skinnier. a little more laid back. a little funnier #and i like them. i do. but everytime i look at them its just this rising panic #that what has played out a dozen times before #will play out again #i dont know how to find a niche #i dont know how to be irreplacable #im just some fat nb whose witty and brash and clingy #so SO close to being likeable. and yet the harder i try the further i seem to get away #“just be yourself and people will like you” when. when. when does that start #because i cant afford to wait 10 years for people to start liking me. ill die in the interim #ive learned that the hard way.#chatter

loach feeding time pictures I've gotten while I've been away

#kuhli loaches #fish keeping #aquarium #curious on whether Ramen is just chunky or gravid #ill keep an eye on her when i get back #they seem to be settling in well #i just hope to see some of the skinnier ones bulking out a bit
