Yeah binging sounds great, but You know what would make You feel better right now?

First of all - take three deep, nice breaths. Just do it.

Going for a walk and realizing midway You’re not hungry anymore

Indulging in a hobby which puts You in a state of flow; something that’s challenging but not enough to burn You out and keeps You busy for hours

Buying/picking flowers for Your mom

Calling Your grandparents

Giving Your pets some attention

Responding to people You accidentally ghosted

Opening that journal You promised to write in regularly

Clearing Your gallery out of unnecessary screenshots and similar selfies

Setting a 10 minute timer and cleaning Your room until it goes off

Freestyling a new makeup look

Researching clothes to buy next time You’re shopping

Revisiting childhood websites, Youtube channels or games

Looking up exercises to do in bed

Putting sports clothes on and not taking them off until You’ve done a workout

Going to Your bathroom without Your phone and not leaving until You’ve done every self-care activity You’ve been procrastinating

You’ve stopped bigger cravings before. I believe in You✨

an angels guide: getting ready for a date ໒꒱ིྀ༝⁺

hi angels! with my exams done and a long summer stretching ahead of me, i have so much free time to fill!! one of my favourite ways to do so is date nights/dates with my boyfriend. whether you’re in a committed relationship or about to go on a first date, you want to feel full of self love and confidence, you want to radiate positive energy and happiness and you want to show both yourself and whoever will be in your company that you’re deserving of absolutely everything - the best way to do that is to look and feel your best! so here’s an angels guide to getting ready for a date.

the night before

(note: not every date warrants night before prep! id say that if you want to feel your absolute best or love self care this is such a fun way of getting ready but not necessary whatsoever).

take a long bath or shower. run the water to your favourite temperature, put on a feel good playlist and get your comfiest towel and prettiest robe. decide whether or not you’ll wash your hair.

wash your body with a bar of soap - can be scented/unscented.

gently exfoliate your body for maximum softness.

if shaving apply an oil (baby oil, coconut oil, hair removal etc) and then apply shaving gel all over. let it sit for a few minutes.

shave, washing your razor in between each stroke (i shave my legs the night before but any more sensitive areas the day off).

rinse off any leftover shower gel.

apply your favourite scented body wash to your cleaning device of choice (mine is an african shower net!), rub in especially focusing on areas that get dirtier/sweatier faster.

when out, pat your body dry with the towel but ensure it remains slightly damp.

apply a body lotion and then go over with an oil, making sure to lock in moisture.

apply a face mask or skincare treatment and let sit.

clip/trim toenails and apply a clear polish (or coloured!). rub in a foot cream and let dry.

file nails and apply a colour of choice, when dry add a nail oil and handcream.

gua sha face or give a facial massage.

have an early night!

the day off

drink water first thing and take any vitamins etc.

clean teeth.

do some morning stretching/yoga for minimum five minutes.

do some light exercise, my favourite is 20 minutes of pilates!

have a delicious, balanced breakfast.

clean teeth.

put on your feel good playlist, tidy your room. make sure your space is clean for when you return.

pack handbag/overnight bag and so on.

pick outfit + accessories.

if wanted have another shower or skip.

apply deodorant, perfume and additional body lotions.

skincare routine.

face last checks, tweezing eyebrows, ensuring ears are clean and products are all absorbed.

if doing apply makeup!

style hair in a way that makes you feel confident and happy.

ensure phones fully charged and friends/family know your plans.

double check bags and ensure you’ve got the essentials (charger, any makeup/skincare to reapply, mints or gum, water, perfumes and hand cream).

things to remember + angel advice

you are smart, confident, beautiful inside and out, full of joy and deserving of a love as wonderful as the kind you give.

romantic love is not the only thing to focus on. give yourself love and kindness, you are the love of your life.

their actions on the first date will speak to their actions later on. trust your intuition and do not tolerate disrespect.

you are an angel! you deserve to be treated like one.

you're dressing up and looking you’re best for you and to make you feel good.

good luck angels! just a short post today as i actually have a date tomorrow (hence this post…). please feel free to tell me about any date experiences you’ve had whether they’re negative or positive! from, m.

do you have any good cal counting methods that dont involve downloading an app? ty!!

Here are some simple dot points with calorie counting ideas that don’t need an app:

Keep a handwritten food diary to track what you eat

Use food labels to find calories per serving

Estimate portions using your hand (palm = protein, fist = carbs, thumb = fats)

Follow the plate method: half veggies, quarter protein, quarter carbs

Memorize calories of common foods

Look up calorie info on trusted websites when needed (i made a few post abt this if u want to look at them)

Use simple math to multiply calories by servings eaten

Here are a few tips to stay consistent with calorie counting without an app:

Set a daily reminder to write down your meals and snacks

Keep your food diary or notes somewhere easy to access, like in your bag or kitchen

Start by tracking just one meal a day, then gradually add more as you get comfortable

Be honest and patient with yourself—estimations don’t have to be perfect

Review your notes at the end of the day to learn and adjust your portions if needed

A small log if u want to use or not below.

Date **/**/***

Breakfast (cal)=

Lunch (cal) =

Dinner (cal) =

Snacks (cal)=

Drinks (cal) =

Total Calories Consumed=

Calories Burned =

Calorie Deficit= (Burned - Consumed)

Notes/Activity = (e.g, Went for a run, got my period, went out to lunch, fasted from ... to ...).

Don't lower your cal intake too much, be safe and listen to your body and be safe. <3

Comment if this was helpful and send more asks!!!! <3

Fasting tips for longer fasts.

Someone requested tips for people who do longer fasts. Idk if this will help or not I might add more later, hope it helps. <3

Before the Fast

Hydrate well: Drink plenty of water the day before.

Eat whole foods: Choose high-fiber, protein-rich, and nutrient-dense meals before the fast to help you feel full longer.

Avoid sugar and refined carbs: These can spike your hunger later.

During the Fast

Drink water constantly – Helps with hunger, energy, and staying focused.

Herbal teas (peppermint, green tea, or ginger) – Calm the stomach and reduce cravings.

Black coffee or matcha – Can suppress appetite, but don’t overdo caffeine, and use low cal milk or no milk.

Stay busy – Distract yourself with light activities, reading, walking, painting nails, cleaning your room, or a hobby.

Low-intensity movement – Gentle walks or stretching can ease restlessness.(Yoga/ meditate)

Salt or electrolytes – A pinch of salt in water or sugar-free electrolyte tablets can prevent headaches, lightheadedness, or fatigue during longer fasts.

Mindfulness or journaling – Writing down your reasons or how you’re feeling can help manage urges and stay focused.

Important Notes

Don’t ignore dizziness or nausea – Break the fast if you feel faint, sick, or too weak.

Don’t force it – If you’re feeling unwell, it’s okay to eat. Listening to your body is more important than hitting a number.

Fasting isn’t for everyone – Some people experience increased stress or obsessive thoughts. If that’s the case, other gentle habits might be more helpful.

Break the Fast Gently

Start with a small portion (e.g., broth, fruit, steamed veggies).

Avoid a large, heavy meal — it can shock your digestive system and cause serious discomfort or illness.

Gradually work back to normal meals over 1–2 days.

[skinn-1-b]

Here are some quick fasting tips to help make it easier:

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, or black coffee to stay hydrated and curb hunger.

Start Slow: If you’re new to fasting, begin with shorter fasts and gradually increase the duration as your body adapts.

Keep Busy: Stay active and distracted to keep your mind off food during fasting periods.

Eat Balanced Meals: When you break your fast, eat nutrient-dense, balanced meals with protein, healthy fats, and veggies.

Avoid Sugary Drinks: Stick to non-caloric beverages (water, black coffee, tea) to avoid breaking your fast.

Listen to Your Body: If you feel weak or unwell, it’s okay to stop fasting. Your health should always come first.

Sleep Well: Good sleep helps with hunger control and energy levels during fasting.

Be Consistent: Fasting can get easier with consistency, so try to stick to a schedule.

If you are strugling with binge eating plz read.

Stopping binge eating takes time and patience. Start by figuring out what triggers your binge eating, like certain emotions or situations, so you can avoid them or find better ways to cope. Try eating regularly throughout the day to avoid getting too hungry, and make sure your meals are balanced with protein, fiber, and healthy fats to keep you full longer. Drink enough water, since sometimes thirst feels like hunger. When you feel stressed or upset, try other ways to cope, like walking or journaling, instead of turning to food. If you need extra help, talking to a therapist can make a big difference. Be kind to yourself during the process, and remember that progress takes time.

Restricting food, like skipping meals or eating too little, often leads to binge eating. When your body doesn’t get enough food, it craves more, making it harder to control how much you eat. This cycle can cause guilt and make bingeing worse. Instead of strict dieting, eating balanced meals regularly can help prevent cravings and create a healthier relationship with food.

Inspiration to go out and walk:

Here are some pictures I’ve taken on my walks :)

Ft. My puppy running with her log 💕

Keep going girlie

[skinn-1-b]

In case you need to hear this,

~ That craving will last 10 minutes. Your body will last a lifetime. Choose wisely. Hunger isn’t an emergency. You’re just used to overfeeding yourself.

~ That food isn’t worth it. You’ve already felt the regret before. You’ve had enough comfort. Now you need consequences.

~ The body you want isn’t built through cravings, it’s built through control. Eating because you’re bored? Congrats, you just gave up progress for entertainment.

~ You don’t need motivation. You need to grow up and do what needs to be done. You’ll never be proud of yourself if you keep choosing what’s easy.

being a teenage girl between 2010 and 2015 must have been the shit. lana del rey dropped born to tie and ultraviolence. the arctic monkeys dropped am. justin bieber. one direction. u had tumblr and weheartit. u post a black and white pic of a cigarette and u get like 20k notes. pretty little liars, vampire diaries and glee were all on tv. twilight was still really popular. all around it must have been fun

[skinn-1-b]

Me @ myself:

“If you wanna be loved by someone, you need to lose weight. Or, you can love food. But it won’t love you back. “

Terrible way to be, but 🥲

[skinn-1-b]

the feeling when..

You don’t feel the fat on your face or the sag under your jawline.

Your thighs not touching.

your body not jiggling.

the coldness.

the sick perception.

the dopamine hit when seeing results.

keep going.

[skinn-1-b]

Best tips for eating less?

Get a life.

Wear cute clothes. Always.

Do fun stuff.

Go outside.

[skinn-1-b]

Do people who don’t have EDs not get euphoria from hunger highs? Like I always hear people say they’re sick of their diet but I never want to stop… to me, when my fat is oxidizing it feels like amphetamines, straight up.

[skinn-1-b]

repeat after me:

BINGEING IS A CHOICE.

NOBODY IS FORCE FEEDING YOU.

DON’T DO IT.

JUST STOP.

"b-but I'm so hungry I'm going to eat" don't you have a goal to achieve?

I thought you wanted this? Bae, I'm going to be so honest with you, if you don't get your shit together, you'll never be skinner than her. you'll never achieve your gw if you stay like this.

In order to become skinny, you need to act skinny. Skip the dessert. eat only if you're physically hungry, don't skip the workout when you feel like it.

Have a sip of water, go on a short walk, watch a movie and see if you still want that dessert.

Do it. You spent all this time begging for it, don't ruin it you've suffered too much, You have to.

In reality, everyone wants to be skinny, but that's a topic none wants to admit.

You hate the feeling of a full stomach? Then just don't eat. Easy fix

Losing weight is hard, being fat is hard. Choose your hard

Junk food you craved for an hour, or the body you craved for a lifetime?

How bad do you really want it

You will forget the taste but the clothes that barely fit into you will remind you.

It is better to resist than it is to regret

You say you're serious this time but your plate still looks the same.

Don't reward yourself with food, you're not a dog.

Is the 10 minutes of satisfaction really worth it? Think again.

Fat lasts longer than flavor

Gain control, lose weight, lose control, gain weight

Today's calories make tomorrow's body

Choose what you wanna feel next year fit or jealous?

Enjoy now, suffer later or suffer now, enjoy later your choice
