fucked my entire day up thinking about an undead person intentionally inhaling and exhaling while holding or sleeping beside someone they love even though they don't need to because the motion and sound of breath makes them feel safe and secure

Every time I've watched this shot, it's seemed awkward to me.

Yeah, Sammy, a gun case is on you. You weigh a hundred and fifty pounds, you're FINE. It's not that heavy!

I even looked it up when I thought, "Actually, guns might be heavy", but A: the guns aren't even in the case and B: they weigh about ten pounds apiece, so it should only be twenty pounds. Maybe another ten or so if it's a good, heavy case." But then, I went back to see, and--

MY GIRL GOT ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED.

Empty or not (ammo), that's still a twenty-pound weight that Sammy almost took to the face!

She gets her arm out, but that still takes her in the shoulderblade, and it looks like the corner still wrecks her skull. She's not lying on the ground because it's a heavy case, she's down there because the world is nothing but flashing stars and the lightning bolts of pain from her spine! She's waking up the next day with two HUGE bruises!!! If she was half a second slower, she'd probably have been concussed!

Had an appointment with a nutritionist and he said you can thrive on only protein and fat, eating 0 vegetables and fruit (with the addendum "not that I'm saying that you should!")

edit: i found his insta and this explains a lot actually

*clenches teeth and fists* it's fine no one comments on how Dorian is more "lithe" than before. It's fine that he's not "nearly as bulky". It's fine that he doesn't sleep well then has to wake up just to be the sunny optimist the next day. It's fine that his strings are wound so tight that he's ready to snap.

It's fine that Dorian's health is being ignored. He's the new guy, right? Fresh faced? Not burdened by the trauma of the last few months, right?

Did stretches twice today

And with profound sadness I must report, they do help making your body easier to move

being sad because of chronic illness is like... go to therapist. therapist says "well don't be so negative! maybe you can go do X more!" and you're like "well no I physically can't." and then they go "well maybe your doctor could do more, have you checked X Y Z?" and you go "well I have 5 doctors, and saw 4 others, and they've ran a ton of tests and done surgeries for the past 5 years, and I was MUCH worse before so comparatively they've done a lot, and they don't intend to do more, this is as good as it gets, and this is how it is probably going to be for my whole life. So no, I don't think I'll have more energy/ability to do X more in a year." therapist "well, never say never, maybe in a year you will be better!" me "yes. but i will also feel pretty emotionally crushed if i plan to be perfectly healthy in a year, then i'm not and still can't do any of the things i made myself excited to do." therapist "well... focus on what you can do! what can you do today that you like?" and i'm like "well i had to work today, to keep my healthcare, and i had to sit up to see you, which also exhausted me so... either i'll use the rest of my spoons to shower and eat dinner, or watch 1 show episode and eat dinner..." therapist "oh well... maybe you can do something fun... on the weekend?" me "well if i don't grocery shop, i will probably have energy to see 1 friend for a few hours. i may try to do that." also me - just do not mention the nonstop nausea and pain even doing things i like because we will re-enter the beginning of the loop where the therapist asks why can't you take more medicine, isn't there more treatment options, and i have to very hopelessly remind myself that no actually there is no option i'm not already doing and this pain is just something i have to fucking live with and i'd really rather not RUMINATE on that depressing ass situation over and over again.

Huh. If my life was a quote, it'd be "one of those sad ones with a deceptively happy tune"

[holodeckprotocols]

went to a new PCP the other day and was giving them my health sparknotes and I could just tell they didn't believe me when I told them how often I exercised. the doctor even emphasized it as i was leaving and told me to make sure i was **really** trying to get my movement in and eating my vegetables. i'm sorry my body is a shape that you find suspicious but I promise I'm already doing that.

[gideonisms]

Oh my godd why can't healthy things also be quick and easy to eat and require very little preparation and keep well and have the amount of calories I need

[there-will-be-a-way]

So, I started working at a sheltered workplace on Monday and although I'm soooo exhausted, I'm actually enjoying it too. I feel like more of a normal person now. Get up early in the morning. Go to work. Have breaks. Wish everyone a Schönen Feierabend™️. Go home. Go grocery shopping. Chill until it's time to go to bed. Have a real weekend. Nice.

[look-at-the-stars-tonight]

the amount of effort that goes into figuring out what to cook and eat every day is RIDICULOUS. i used to think people were so weird and boring for eating the same thing every single day but it truly does make life so much easier

Take this post as a sign to start keeping snacks in your room, in reach of wherever you spend the most time if possible. Moving is hard and you don't know what to eat? No longer an issue thanks to the valiant efforts of Rice Cakes Kept Under The Bed

198 today. Don't think about the number, it is just data.

I am pretty confident yesterday was good. I would have liked a workout tho.

Today is a new day to succeed.

Staying positive. Working on reducing distractions.

But lord knows, if I followed my brain, I would read nothing but diet related books and watch videos etc. But it that helping or hindering?

Somehow I don't think focusing on food is helping so I am trying to adjust my external inputs to non food related activities, videos and books.

It is hard when my brain automatically redirects to searching how so and so lost weight, how to break a plateau, etc. Obviously information is not the answer, action is. But it also has to be consistent & sustainable.

Daily habits need to adjust over time to avoid rebounding.

As I know too well, exercise can't be too much or more recovery time will be needed.

Relax and adjust.

By September, I could be 150 pounds if I wanted and could build those habits.

So, what can I do today that will encourage success? 🤔

What can I do to encourage self love?

Stress reduction?

Think about it and di those things. Whatever you need for today is ok. If today is not a hard workout day, maybe some stretching and a gentle walk.

Maybe a bath?

Healthy choices. Protein. Veggies.

Focus on school/work.... but allow yourself some down time.

Give yourself as many hugs as you need. 🤗
