As a biochem student and certified nerd, I feel the responsibility to bestow this knowledge upon as many people as I possibly can:

You do NOT need to "earn" meals through exercise.

You know why?

Because exercise only accounts for about 20% of your calories. The majority of the calories your body burns, it uses to keep itself alive. It uses them to power your brain and metabolism. In fact, your brain ALONE is responsible for spending about 20% of your calories.

Your BRAIN, just to keep itself going, uses up just as many (or even more!!!) calories than all the exercise you do.

Your RESTING metabolic rate is responsible for burning between 60 and 75% of your calories.

You don't just deserve food because you're working out. YOU DESERVE FOOD BECAUSE YOUR BODY NEEDS IT TO STAY ALIVE.

it's sooo telling if you think that fat people existing and talking about being fat is them "feeling sorry for themselves" just because you think fat is a bad word and you're afraid of being fat. doesn't mean i think that. i've been this way my entire life, it is a part of me and just existing as a fat person doesn't mean i'm promoting unhealthy lifestyle or victimizing myself when i talk about fatphobia.
