Trigger Warning, I Suppose

Read More

Things I’ve realised

(yes, I have revelations like this every few days or so, but still, I really like these ones)

  1. In my current mental state (ha, how bad does that sound?), counting calories is not an option - I will without a doubt sabotage myself and set myself up for failure.
  2. Setting myself goals such as “I want to lose X amount of weight by Y date” is also not an option - I will without a doubt sabotage myself and set myself up for failure.
  3. This means the only option really, is to simply focus on making healthier choices at every opportunity and just making myself move for at least half an hour everyday.

This means it’ll be slow - but let’s face it, it’s been slow any way. 10kgs over 7 months is pretty much as slow as it gets without being stopped. As long as it’s an overall downward trend, that’s what matters.

The only other issue I have is the scales and my obsession with them. And I’m not sure how to deal with this at the moment…

Just wandering around the city, noticing things I haven’t noticed before.

For a long time now I’ve been saying that I’m poisoning myself with food… it’s a good reminder the food can also be healing.

Dear Depression,

can you please just piss off already?

I need to be able to function.

I need to not put on the weight that I’ve lost because you’ve taken over.

I need to not have my own brain tell me every day how useless/pathetic/fat I am.

Just leave me alone.

Sincerely,

K

Frozen berries Apple Carrots Kiwi Lemon Spinach Celery Beet Kale For starters, the photo does not do the colour of the smoothie justice at all. It is actually a really dark purple, really, really pretty. Probably the main flavours are the celery and lemon and I really like it - because the lemon cuts through the sweetness of the beet (plus I’m not that fond of beets) and the celery evens out the sourness of the lemon. And it just tastes like healthy. In a really good way.
