Looking for thinspo I kept thinking “ughh I love her she’s so pretty but not thin enough to post” and that says a lot. You’re beautiful. Stay safe babes💖
Remember this feeling.
The feeling of not giving up, of not giving in.
Going to bed, knowing that you kept the promise to yourself, and did not binge, or overeat.
You did it.
You battled the anxiety, the panic, the overwhelming need to bury your fears, and you came out swinging. Blocking jab after jab, keeping just out of range of the underhanded blows. You’re a fighter. Never forget that.
Now, sleep easily.
Tomorrow, get up, lace up your shoes, smile, and do it all over again.
You got this.
You got this.
You got this!
when it’s time for dinner…
Growing up fat, you get made fun of for everything you do, even basic shit like eating and laughing and breathing are funny when you do it because youre fat! And its so hard to not carry that with you as you get older, like I’m still embarassed to eat or dance in front of people or smile in pictures and its ridiculous and I hate it and I wish I was treated with more humanity
THE BARE BASICS
1. CLEANSING
This step can literally make or break your routine tbh, if you get a cleanser that’s too drying, it will cause major damage to your skin. Your skin has a pH of 4.5-5.5 and most of the popular cleansers recommended on skincare threads you might see on say twitter etc such as Castile soap is actually too alkalic for your skin! It strips your skin of moisture and leaves it super dry. I know most of y'all love that squeaky clean feeling these kind of cleansers give your skin but that’s not necessarily the case. (side note: if you use makeup I’d highly recommend double cleansing where you remove your makeup with an oil based cleanser followed by washing your face with a water based cleanser)
Some good oil based cleansers ;
Neutrogena ultra light cleansing oil
Tatcha one step Camellia cleansing oil
Banila Co clean it zero
Heimish all clean balm
The Face Shop rice water bright rich cleansing oil
DHC deep cleansing oil
Low pH water based cleansers;
Cosrx low pH good morning gel cleanser
SebaMed clear face foaming cleanser
CeraVe foaming facial cleanser
Su:m37 miracle rose cleansing stick
Cleaning waters (optional, can be used to remove residue of dirt and debris after cleansing and also as a quick cleanse if you’re in a rush) ;
Bioderma hydrabio H2O micelle solution
Thayers witch hazel (alcohol free version )
Caudalie micellar cleansing water
Garnier skin micellar cleansing water
2. MOISTURIZING
Moisturizing is a crucial step in skincare (yes, even for oily skin!) to help keep your your skin youthful and it hold water in the outermost layer of your skin to act as a barrier. It protects your skin and helps improve texture. Studies have shown that people who moisturize their skin accumulate wrinkles at just a fraction of the rate of their dry skin counterparts.

3. SUNSCREEN
Do I really need to explain why this is super important? If you’re not wearing sunscreen, especially if you’re outdoors (side note: please reapply every two hours), you’re more prone to forming age spots, wrinkles, blemishes and we’ll ask hyperpigmentation meaning this can also cause any acne scarring etc you might have to get darker, making it harder to get rid of.

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE DESSERT RECIPE 102.5 CALS
1/2 box sugar free cheesecake pudding mix (50)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (30)

Make the pudding according to instructions on box 10 minutes ahead of time.
Put pumpkin in a mug, add 2 packets of stevia or sugar free sweetener, cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to taste, and 0 calorie spray butter to taste. Microwave for 45 seconds. Take out and mix.
Let cool, add pudding on top of pumpkin. I’m a fatass so I had 2 servings of this but at 200 cals, I’m not feeling too awful about it lmaoooo. Berries or fat free cool whip on top is also nice, and you can eat it layered like that or mix it together! It’s all delicious and SUGAR FREE
