That awkward moment when you scroll 3Dblr so much that Tumblr runs out of posts to show you 🤡

Tw meanspo

Why the fuck did you eat that? No matter what you say, you had a choice. You didn’t have to eat it. Now look at you. Why do you keep letting yourself down? You know what you have to do, so just do it.

Directed toward me, obviously

i feel a lot skinnier - my thigh gap and collarbones are showing more

but the scale refuses to go down atm :C

i think it’s bloating and water weight

ppl say to drink more water so ur body stops holding onto it but im too scared ;-; what if i drink too much?? idk how much to drink. i’ll try and have a litre today and see how badly that affects the scale tomorrow

i may also have a slightly higher cal day today? idk *_^ i’ll update at the end of the day

Wasting food hurts but being fat hurts more

Boyfriend insisted we have Taco Bell today 🙃

Got two spicy potato soft tacos with less cheese, potato, and sauce but extra lettuce (170cals each)

I'm so so glad I barely ate earlier today

Practical reasons for me to lw:

So when I go to the doctors to find out if I have ehlers-danlos syndrome or not, they don't blame it on me being f4t :D

(The health system is fucked up and I hate it. And I live in AUSTRALIA)

Your body is an accurate journal of what you feed it, and people can read it just by looking at you

[skinnyglassbones]

It should be illegal for menus to not have calories on it

the most triggering show EVER

< super skinny me >

~ youtube description below ~

In this shocking documentary about the extreme lengths some women will go to lose weight, two average-sized journalists accept a challenge to whittle themselves down to a size zero within 5 weeks. With everything short of surgery and drugs at their disposal, the effects of the rapid weight loss and extreme dieting on these two women has to be seen to be believed.

ALSO THERE is another one called super slim me (which i also love)

Tip no.1 for when you’re feeling unmotivated

This is what I do, it makes the process fun and really helps you see the results:

I get a shoelace and tie it pretty right around my waist, and I keep it there until it becomes loose.

As someone who loses motivation when I don’t see results, this really helps because when the string becomes looser I feel really good about myself, the string also becomes uncomfortable if I eat too much and get really bloated so it helps me make sure I don’t overeat, and in general it just helps because I work hard to try and make that string loose. When I’m done sometimes I tie it again tighter but you don’t have to.

It’s always good to try out something new when you’re feeling unmotivated.

Some Apps Which Help Me!

I've been doing this for a few years and have tried every app and website! When I relapse, I come back to the same few, here they are!

-https://www.fatcalc.com/rwl (Great for seeing how long it will take you to reach a certain weight which certain cals, but won't go under 1,000 cals so estimate)

-Lifesum (Best food tracker I have found and great for logging daily weights, I like the food scanning ability and you can track food by the gram if you have a food scale)

-Zero (Great fasting tracker with a ton of great communities you can join, good if you like to compete against others)

-C25K (I use this when I'm running because cardio is the best for weight loss, talks you through running and walking intervals)

-Tumblr (OFC to share and learn more, talk to others who also experience similar thinking patterns)

-YouTube (Surprisingly has a lot of restriction content if you search the right words)

I got an ask about how to speed up metabolism but i accidentally deleted it while I was trying to save it to my drafts, so I’m sorry about that.

Tips for speeding up ur metabolism!!

1. Exercise. It's the most obvious yet the most effective way to speed up your metabolism. If moving seems hard to you, just think of all the calories you could be burning while doing each movement.

2. Caffeine. Coffee, energy drinks, kopiko, green tea, anything with caffeine has been shown to increase metabolism by 3-11%. Be careful not to have more than 400mg of caffeine a day, especially when your not eating much as the effects can be stronger usually not in a good way.

3. Cold temperatures. Anything that's cold such as a cold room, cold drink, or cold shower like you mentioned will temporarily speed up your metabolism as your body uses that energy to warm you up. This has been proven true, but I don't think it makes a noticeable difference if i'm honest.

4. Eat protein. One component of your metabolism is known as TEF (thermic effect of food) or DIT (dietary induced thermogenesis). Basically this means that ur body burns a % of the calories in the food just by digesting it. Contrary to popular belief, not all calories are made equal. Fat provides 9 calories per gram, and its TEF is 0-3%. Carbohydrate provides 4 calories per gram, and its TEF is 5-10%. Protein also provides 4 calories per gram, but it's TEF is 20–30%. So yeah protein is best.

5. Water. Cold water can speed up your metabolism, but drinking water in general will help you lose weight and reduce bloating.

Sorry again for deleting ur question 🫠 i hope the person who asked ends up seeing this lol
