once you deny yourself that craving once, then twice, you’ll find yourself at the end of a week having denied it 50 times.
discipline builds up. don’t give up, don’t give yourself that “one time.” I promise it doesn’t exist and it will snowball.
always remember that food is not a reward, restriction is.
when you want to take a second helping, when you want to eat lunch with everyone else, when you’re alone and want to reach for snacks, when you’re out and want to eat unhealthy fast food - remember this. you’ll never get far unless you start now; start resisting your old habits and making new ones.
work hard for what you want.
take care.

Reminders this Sexual Assault Awareness Month that your assault(s) are valid even if:
Your loved ones don’t believe you
Your assaulter was your lover/partner
You “didn’t fight back”
You were intoxicated
You originally consented
You had consensual sex with them in the past
You waited to speak out
You’ve never spoken out
You didn’t realize it was assault until later in life
You didn’t speak out until later in life
You didn’t go to police
You still haven’t told anyone
You were a child
You were a teenager
You were an adult
You both were children
You were wearing “provocative” clothes
You flirted with them
You pretended to like it
Penetration wasn’t involved
You “gave up” on fighting
You’re scared to tell someone
You can’t talk about it
You can talk about it, but don’t want to
The police didn’t believe you
Your “friends” didn’t/don’t believe you
You still had consensual sex with them after it happened
You never developed any mental illness/trauma-related symptoms from it
The person(s) stopped
The person(s) apologized
You thought it was consensual at the time
No one else was assaulted by them
You initiated the encounter
You orgasmed
You showed signs of arousal
You never were given an apology
Your assaulter refuses to say it was assault
Your assaulter was a family member
Your assaulter was a friend
You feel like it was your fault
You feel like you could’ve stopped it
You’re a girl
You’re a boy
You’re trans
You’re nonbinary, gender-fluid, etc.
You were bigger than them
You were stronger than them
If it was “only” once
If it happened multiple times
If you didn’t act on a bad feeling before the assault happened
If you could have escaped
If speaking out will “ruin their life”
If “it was just a mistake”
If you were warned
If it was an affair
If they were never punished
If they were punished, but it doesn’t feel like enough
There is no right or wrong way to be assaulted. There is no real or fake way to be assaulted. There is no type of assault that “isn’t that bad.” There is no assault that is your fault. You didn’t deserve it. It wasn’t okay. I believe you. I believe in you.
