You deadlift? What's your PB?
My current max is 250 pounds! Gotta catch up to Tony, he's at 300 now 😤
Also someone else asked about how deadlifting doesn't kill my back, and the answer is that weightlifting with proper form is good for back pain >:]
Strengthening your stabilizer muscles is so good for your bones and posture! It doesn't mean accidents don't happen, as we will all decay in time, but it definitely helps me draw all day and night without crumbling into dust 👌

Fat rolls and cellulite because I eat food, scars because I have a history, stretch marks and acne because I have a hormonal condition, glasses because my eyes don’t work…. Just me doing my best, take it or leave it. ✨

Every time I see actors with perfectly chiseled abs and bulging muscles my first thought is that they're probably dehydrated and need to eat something and that does not enhance my viewing experience.

Mini BC:
So this isn't really a body check cuz I did one before that a few days ago but this is my stomach after I didn't eat all day(I ate some lunch tho after I did weight myself) because I was waiting for the scale to arrive and oh my god I know it's not much but knowing this is what I could look like all the time if I just keep going is honestly so motivating.
I also took a picture from the side but oh god I look fat AF from the side so I'll Spare you
Anyways plz don't be mean thx (≧▽≦)

So. I think I have been experiencing a mental block of sorts and I really need to get thru it.
I was very big. Very large @ 317.
I am not tall, so I was very wide.
I have been greatly successful. But as soon as people started "noticing" my weight loss, it pretty much stopped all together.
Why?
Self-sabotage mostly, I am no longer eating in a deficit.
But why??
That is harder to pinpoint.
I think it might be related to an extremely religious upbringing and people being attracted to me.
The adulation feels false. I am not skinny, I am on the hefty side of a "mid-range" girlie.
So it could be some imposter syndrome shit.
But it does seem to be entirely self sabotage and excuses.
I continue to have terrible cravings around my cycles and want to eat and order all the things. I have been unable to acquire the honeymoon phase, where you are solid in habits and moving forward with progression.
I really want that thoughtless, moving forward in power era where you are so focused on what you are doing that you don't *think* about it, you just *do* it.
My impulses are all over the place and awfully disjointed so Idk what direction to follow right now.
So I am trying to focus on healthy habits. & rebuilding the things that were bringing me success.
I have a hard time with habit building. I literally need to track every day the most random stuff to stay "on point." If I miss a day.... boom, it's gone for weeks.
So..... working on overcoming whatever mind bullshit I gotta get over.
I deserve to be at a healthy weight.
I deserve to feel attractive.
It's OK if people are attracted to me.
It doesn't make me a bad person.
I am still the same loving person.
It doesn't matter what people think of me.
My person and my body are none of anyone's business.

guys honestly. can we please normalise everything about every different body type? like all the possible physical aspects of a person that someone can have. i don’t think that we should have even alienated any things in the first place. it’s literally your body. you can only control what you look like to a certain level. and you should only want to change what you look like for you. not for anyone else. beauty standards are stupid and everyone should love every part of their body. i want people to just be able to exist in their body however they want to and not face bullying or rude comments or discrimination for it. if you can do that and ignore rude comments, that is so cool!! genuinely!! but lots of people can’t ignore rude comments or even just looks that say a lot, and it really destroys you when you’re made to think that your own body isn’t okay. you have to live in your body every day. you should feel comfortable in your skin. you should feel good about yourself. and you should never ever put someone else down for what they look like.

According to the Doctor Who Listened To Me, switching from my birth control to this new treatment could result in weight loss, if, indeed, my steady weight gain over the last decade or so was due to the birth control. I'm having severely mixed feelings about this possibility.
On the one hand, if I did lose all the weight birth control (presumably) made me gain, it would be much easier to interact with the world. Buying (and making) clothes would be much easier. Buying furniture, too, and cheaper besides. I'd be able to ride roller coasters again, sit in whatever seat in a theater, sit in booths in restaurants. I wouldn't have to ask for seatbelt extenders on planes, or worry about unintentionally invading someone's space because of how much I take up just by existing.
On the other hand...I've seen what happens when people lose that kind of weight. I've seen how much better they're treated. I am so desperate to protect the younger me who lives in my head from having it proven that it was her body that was incorrect, not the people around her. I don't want little girl me to have to know, conclusively, that they were right, that she would have had it so much better if she just lost the weight. I don't want to see just how much more desirable I would've been this whole time if I'd just been half the size I am. I don't want to know how many crushes would have liked me back if I'd just been smaller. I don't want to know exactly how unworthy I am now, as I currently am. And I'm terrified, because I know that if the weight does come off, I'll find out whether I want to or not.
