my bf told me to eat a spoon of honey before working out as it is a natural pre workout. babe, it has like 60-70kcal. that's a little under half of my breakfast. I told him that and he said I'm crazy cause it's barely anything. FOR YOU!! my BMR is 1400, his is 2200. 65/1400 is way more than 65/2200. it's not even comparable. for him it's nothing, for me it could bump me out of the deficit.
(it is a great pre workout tho so don't worry about the kcals if you can)
high time we start considering crying a 1000kcal workout
honestly I don't mind how my body looks naked. the thing I hate is how clothes lay over it, makes me fat.
my body shape is naturally curvy, my friend's is naturally thin. at the same BMI I will ALWAYS look chunkier and more round than her, even if she's much heavier than me, she looks skinnier. and always she's like omg we're so similar in looks haha you're literally so skinny. NO IM NOT. YOU ARE. it makes me want to cry. she literally doesn't even see how blessed she is and is unintentionally stuffing it in my face.
!!!DON'T REPORT, JUST BLOCK AND MOVE ON, IM PRO RECOVERY, THIS IS ALL FOR ME, MYSELF AND I!!!
rules for myself:
eat 1400kcal a day, don't starve yourself, include as much protein as you can
limit your sugar but don't get rid of it, you don't want your brain shutting off
limit snacking, opt for gum or tea
make an effort to look down on your plate when you're eating, make sure your brain is registering the meal
don't count calories from walks with friends (that's entertainment, not exercise), count calories from the treadmill, exercise and walking outside when it's only purpose is to burn kcals (running errands doesn't count)
also don't count calories from seasoning etc, it's such tiny amounts it probably cancels out with walking around the house
drink as much water as you can
remember to take thyroid medication, don't abuse it
it's ok if progress is slow, you literally take hormonal pills and have broken organs
try to sleep at least 8h a day, insomnia lowers metabolism
don't freak out over 1kg up or down, it's most likely water weight or you need to take a shit
leave your ana personality on Tumblr, being around anorexic people that don't wanna recover is miserable (if you do wanna recover I support you and I'm proud of you, ask for help!!)
if you slip up, don't give up
if tired or feeling unwell, it's okay to skip exercising that day, it's better to keep mental motivation over pushing yourself too much and quitting
get to know me!
would anyone like to help me estimate the amount I eat? I'm not the best at counting kcals and I really need to start. I'll learn but for now please help ://
(also I'm not trying to completely starve, I'd like to maintain 1400kcal a day + exercise)
