Just hit my 5th year of veganism today! It hasn't always been easy as someone who's disabled (Chron's and "moderately severe"/level 2 autism, among other things), but I've never regretted it and and it's made such a positive impact in my life over all. Even hospitals around me have at least one clearly marked vegan option and carry diary-free protein shakes now. It's easy to be angry and depressed at a lot of the things going on around the world right now, but thinking about the progress we've made helps me feel more hopeful, and has been a huge motivator to try to get out & help other causes even when I feel like dead weight or like I'm being actively detrimental because of my disabilities.
congratulations on your milestone! I hope you were able to celebrate!
and I’m so happy that you can manage a vegan lifestyle that still fulfills your needs, that’s amazing <3 and you’re right, we do need to focus on the positive more!
also, I hope that at least your brain knows that you are not detrimental or a „dead weight“. you matter as a person, and your ability to do certain things has no bearing on that. another vegan in here once made a post about how veganism helped them unlearn some of their internal ableism, because it encourages you to think outside of specific abilities and instead appreciate individuals for just being.
anyway, thank you so much for sharing these good news!

Health and Fitness: Tips and Benefits
Health and fitness are two interrelated concepts that affect our well-being and quality of life. Being healthy means having a good physical and mental condition, free from diseases and disorders. Being fit means having the ability to perform physical activities with ease, strength, and endurance. Both health and fitness can be improved by following some simple tips and enjoying some benefits.
Tips for Health and Fitness
One of the most important tips for health and fitness is to exercise daily for at least an hour. Exercise can help you burn calories, strengthen your muscles, improve your cardiovascular system, and boost your mood. You can choose any type of exercise that suits your preferences and goals, such as walking, running, cycling, swimming, dancing, or lifting weights. The key is to be consistent and challenge yourself gradually.
Another tip for health and fitness is to eat the right foods and portion each meal. Eating a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and water can provide you with the nutrients you need to function properly and prevent diseases. You should also avoid or limit foods that are high in sugar, salt, saturated fat, and processed ingredients. Additionally, you should control your portion sizes and avoid overeating or skipping meals.
A third tip for health and fitness is to keep track of calories and food intake per day. Knowing how many calories you consume, and burn can help you balance your energy intake and expenditure. This can help you maintain a healthy weight or lose weight if needed. You can use a food diary, an app, or a website to record what you eat and drink every day. You can also use a calorie calculator to estimate how many calories you need based on your age, gender, height, weight, and activity level.
A fourth tip for health and fitness is to be sure to get enough sleep. Sleep is essential for your body and mind to recover from the day’s activities and prepare for the next one. Sleep can also affect your appetite, metabolism, immune system, mood, memory, and concentration. You should aim to get at least seven to nine hours of quality sleep every night. To improve your sleep hygiene, you should follow a regular sleep schedule, avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and screens before bed, create a comfortable and dark sleeping environment, and relax before sleeping.
A fifth tip for health and fitness is to stay motivated. Motivation is the driving force that keeps you going despite the challenges and obstacles you may face. To stay motivated, you should set realistic and specific goals, track your progress, celebrate your achievements, reward yourself, seek support from others, join a group or a class, find a workout buddy, or hire a personal trainer. You should also remind yourself of the reasons why you want to be healthy and fit.
Benefits of Health and Fitness
Health and fitness have many benefits for your physical and mental well-being. Some of the benefits are:
Reduced risk of chronic diseases: Being healthy and fit can lower your chances of developing conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, and obesity.
Improved balance and coordination: Being fit can enhance your ability to maintain your posture, move gracefully, avoid falls and injuries.
Increased energy levels: Being healthy can boost your metabolism and provide you with more fuel to perform your daily tasks.
Enhanced mood: Being fit can release endorphins in your brain that make you feel happy. Being healthy can also reduce stress hormones that cause anxiety.
Better self-esteem: Being healthy and fit can improve your appearance, confidence, and self-respect.
Conclusion
Health and fitness are important aspects of our lives that we should not neglect. By following some simple tips such as exercising daily, eating right, tracking calories, getting enough sleep, and staying motivated, we can improve our health and fitness levels. By doing so, we can enjoy many benefits such as reduced risk of chronic diseases, improved balance and coordination, increased energy levels, enhanced mood, and better self-esteem. Health and fitness are not only good for us but also for those around us who care about us. So, let’s start today!

Had a late snack yesterday. But it's a bit stupid. It's like I made myself do it, lol. I could have quite happily started my timer after dinner, as usual.
No matter how much I try change things to pull away from my long standing issues with eating, I now recognise that I'm just swapping one disordered eating behaviour for another.
That all started after my type one diabetes diagnosis at age 14.
Now that's a whole essay on its own, so I'm not going to get going on that one this morning 😂.
I do occasionally simply want an evening snack, and I can justify it easily because of my lifestyle, etc.
That's fine. But eating for the sake of it to prove just how "free and in control" I am? Well that's just ridiculous. And obviously proves exactly the opposite!
So anyway, back to today.
I got up late. Just didn't want to move! But I did. I made my protein decaff (pre-blended my milk and whey powder last night. Shaking it up in the sealed cup just doesn't cut it, lol).
Lovely and bright out there. I also went against all the sleep hygiene "experts" and left my curtains open last night. Wanted the sunrise to fill my environment before even getting out of bed. And it didn't affect my sleep at all. If anything, I actually slept longer before waking up for the first time. And that was around 4am, when the sun was starting to rise. That tells you something, I guess!
So I call my protein decaff my "pre-breakfast". Just made that up. Yes, I'm breaking my fast, but my real breakfast is back at home. My beloved nuts and collagen coffee.
My blood sugar is still way too high. Ridiculously so this morning, actually.
Just when I thought this insulin pump system was doing a better job. Nope.
I decided to get a high intensity workout in before lunch.
More work for my lower body, and definitely work for my cardiovascular health!
I am once again rethinking my nutrition.
Back to highest percentage of calories from fat, a lower (but still pretty high) percentage of protein and lowest of all for carbs.
My goal breakdown is 55% fat, 35% protein, 10% carbs.
But I'm not going to obsessively tweak, adjust or drive myself crazy by trying to hit those numbers too strictly.
Yes, I personally feel better tracking my food. That's one of my habits that helps that relationship with food. It's how I keep control.
Forever an ongoing work in progress!
So that meant cheese with my lunch again. It's been a while!
Plus sardines are already high in (healthy) fats.
Tiny scrap of greenery to throw in a few beneficial polyphenols.
And hard boiled egg. Eggs are fantastic!
It's interesting to see the difference exercise makes to my food diary.
That whole "calories in/calories out" principle is pretty much just theory. And a very feeble one at that. I only take notice of what I'm eating. Focusing on macro quantity AND quality. But yep, still interesting to look at the comparisons on the app on the rare occasion.
I knew I needed some yoga. My back isn't happy. The homeopath asked me lots of questions about that today. Everything seems pretty "high end" in terns of all my health concerns right now.
She is going to try yet another new remedy. This will ge the fourth attempt.
But hey, I guess that's partly what I'm paying her for. To find something that actually works!
So an average day in general. Not great, not terrible. That's good enough for me.
Gotta keep fighting, moving and smiling 👍

Hair Diary: tips on growing healthy hair.
Here are some tips to grow and maintain healthy hair:
1. Balanced Diet: Ensure your diet includes a variety of nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and proteins, as they play a crucial role in hair health.
2. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your body and hair hydrated. Dehydration can affect hair texture and strength.
3. Gentle Washing: Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo, and avoid washing your hair daily to prevent stripping natural oils. Focus on the scalp when washing.
Tumblr media
4. Conditioning: Apply a conditioner to the lengths of your hair to keep it moisturized and manageable. Consider a deep conditioning treatment occasionally.
5. Avoid Heat Damage: Minimize the use of heat-styling tools like straighteners and curling irons. If you must use them, use a heat protectant spray.
6. Regular Trims: Trim your hair every few months to prevent split ends and promote overall hair health.
7. Protective Styles: Consider protective hairstyles like braids or buns to reduce stress on your hair and prevent breakage.
8. Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Tight hairstyles can cause stress on the hair shaft and follicles, potentially leading to damage and hair loss.
9. Scalp Care: Keep your scalp clean and healthy. Consider massaging your scalp to stimulate blood flow, promoting hair growth.
10. Limit Chemical Treatments: Minimize the use of harsh chemical treatments, such as perms or excessive coloring, which can damage the hair shaft.

The Dinner Diaries Day 3 - Duck Legs (0 spoons)
This was not a good day from the point of view of remembering about food. Apparently my appetite is made of fluctuation right now. However, I did eat one nice solid meal, and fortified myself to cook it with a bag of potato chips as fuel.
Like with most roasted things, there's not much to roasting duck legs from an effort point of view. Thing about duck is that because of it being a particularly fatty bird, it wants slower roasting to get the skin nice and crispy. I could have roasted the potatoes with the duck legs - I have recipes for that - but I'm still trying to recover so I went lower effort still; I just followed the directions on the packet. Well. Mostly, because yet again, it suggested "salt and pepper if desired" and I had onion salt and garlic pepper so y'know. Anyway, very, very brief recipe because it does not take much of anything but time.
Here's what you'll need:
Two duck legs
Spices to taste
With that done, here's what you do:
Pre-heat the oven to 350F (ish), 180C, 160C fan assist, gas mark 4
Pat the skin of the duck legs with a paper towel to remove extress moisture. Prick the skin and season to taste.
Place in a roasting tray and cook for 90 minutes, basting with the juices several times during cooking
Remove from oven; rest for ten minutes, then serve
Literally that simple; most of the effort it takes is time. That and the basting, but that's pretty much a necessity because it helps keep the meat juicy and tender.
I served mine with a baked potato (done in the microwave), some broccoli, and a salad.
Of course, now I'm actively still hungry and not for the amount of wacky cake that's currently living in my immediate space. Once again, it's a protein thing. I do have that second duck leg, but I'd like to save that for lunch tomorrow. After all, tomorrow I have plans in the direction of gluten-free pizza dough. So instead I'm going to do corn thins and salami, with either pickles or more salad.

𓏲 ࣪₊diary entry : june twenty-ninth  .ᐟ
this summer's had a bit of a rocky start; with more rain than sun, my mood has certainly reflected that of mother nature's. and while i've had moments of sunshine peaking through the grey clouds in my mind, there's ultimately been a great deal of darkness — thunderous thoughts keeping me awake all night, with raindrop like tears that inevitably follow. i keep checking the forecast over and over again to see if the sun will soon return, but i realize it isn't up to the little app on my phone; scrolling won't change the present moment, and it certainly can't determine the unpredictable unstable some would even say patterns of both mother nature, and i. i can't wait another day, week or month for the sun to come out because the weather, like our emotions, are never for certain — and change as quick as a strike of lightning. so, rain or shine, it is important to make the most out of every day.
finally, amidst the storm, i see clear skies. i see the light peaking through the gloom in my eyes. and although i know rain will always return, whether we like it or not, i understand now it helps to cleanse the soul. like flowers, we cannot grow without a little showers. so instead i will embrace it — i will splash through the puddles and dance happily in the rain.
꒰ 📖 ꒱ؘ ࿐ ࿔*:・゚
today was definitely full of clear skies for me, and fortunately mother nature too. . .ᵕ̈
first thing in the morning, i got up and did all my usual morning ritual — making my bed, brushing my teeth, doing my hair and skincare ++ putting on spf !! — all of which i can honestly say i have not been the best at for the last week or so. with that being said, this on it's own was an accomplishment for me & my first win of the day :3
⤷ always celebrate the small wins ! ! ! they are what lead to even bigger and better things in the future ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა
after giving my puppies some quick cuddles, i got dressed in my pink pilates princess uniform ( because yes, i always feel more motivated when everything is cute / 'aesthetic' . i can't help it. it's what i blame my shopping addiction on ) and then i went on a hot girl walk around my neighborhood while i listened to some lana del rey classics <3 ( today i walked 1.8 miles ! ) i'm especially proud of myself for doing this because my anxiety started to kick in this morning and i was having a bit of an internal battle over whether i wanted to go on a walk or stay in bed. in the past i've always let the devil on my shoulder, or should i say fear, control me, and even today i almost let my negative thoughts take over, but i didn't let them win. i pushed through them, even when they put up one hell of a fight.
⤷ gentle reminder : it's never going to be the easy option, but it's the one your future self will thank you for.
coming home from my walk, i could practically hear my stomach talking to me and she was begging for food . . . so for today's breakfast, i decided to make myself scrambled eggs and gluten free toast topped with peanut butter & bananas + freshly squeezed lemon water :p so so yummy !!!!
⤷ i try my best to always start my day with a protein filled meal! it stabilizes your blood sugar, preventing you from crashing, which would otherwise make you feel hungry and tired quite quickly after eating.
to complete my peaceful but productive morning, i did a twenty minute meditation using this video ( which ultimately turned into an hour long nap. . . whoopsies )
& that was my morning ! i completed all of this before 10:30 a.m. ᵎᵎ which may not seem like a lot to some, or nothing out of the ordinary, but seeing as i've barely been conscious before noon recently, this was an achievement for me (´。• ◡ •。`) ♡
p.s. it amazes me how much you can actually get done in the morning when you wake up early . . .
. . .
⌗ °. •♡ today’s affirmations 𓂃
i believe in myself .
i am filled with radiant light and love .
i prioritize my wellbeing .
i trust that i am heading in the right direction .
i am proud of myself and my achievements .
i give myself permission to shine bright .
. . .
xoxo, meg 💌

Breaking Free: Strategies to Overcome Food Addiction and Emotional Eating
Today, let's talk about a topic that's close to many of our hearts - food addiction and emotional eating. Just to be clear, these issues aren't about occasional overindulgence in comfort foods. We're dealing with something more chronic - a compulsive relationship with food that can damage both physical and mental health.
First, a little background. Food addiction is when we're drawn irresistibly towards specific foods, generally those high in sugars, fats, and salts - the so-called 'hyperpalatable' foods. It's often linked with emotions, making it a go-to coping mechanism during times of stress, sadness, or even boredom. It's a cycle that can seem impossible to break, but remember, nothing is impossible, and there are ways to regain control. Let's dive into some actionable strategies:
1. Mindful Eating: Practicing mindfulness can be a powerful tool to overcome emotional eating. Mindful eating involves paying full attention to the eating process, savoring each bite, and acknowledging your feelings, hunger, and satiety cues. Start by eating without distractions (no TV, phones, or books). Focus on the taste, texture, and smell of the food. Take note of your body's signals telling you when you're hungry or full.
2. Journaling: Keep a food and mood diary. Write down what you eat, when you eat, and how you're feeling at the time. This can help identify triggers and patterns in your eating habits, allowing you to address the root cause of your emotional eating.
3. Regular Exercise: Regular physical activity helps manage stress, improve mood, and boost self-esteem. It doesn't have to be something strenuous - yoga, a walk in the park, or dancing in your room to your favorite tunes can do wonders! Make it something you enjoy, and you'll be more likely to stick with it.
4. Balanced Diet: Try to include more whole foods in your diet - fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. These foods are not only healthier but also keep you feeling satisfied for longer, reducing the urge to snack mindlessly.
5. Emotional Support: Having a support network is essential. Connect with friends or family, join a support group, or seek professional help if you need it. Sometimes, just talking about what you're going through can bring a sense of relief and clarity.
6. Establish Healthy Routines: Set regular meal times and stick to them. Avoid skipping meals, as this may lead to overeating later on. Make sure you get enough sleep - sleep deprivation can increase cravings and emotional eating.
7. Self-Care: Make time for self-care. Whether it's reading a book, taking a bubble bath, meditating, or anything else that helps you relax, taking care of your emotional health can reduce the likelihood of turning to food for comfort.
It's important to remember that slip-ups happen, and that's okay. What matters is not perfection, but progress. If you're struggling with food addiction or emotional eating, know that you're not alone, and it's okay to ask for help. This journey is about you and your well-being, so take it one step at a time. Be patient with yourself and celebrate small victories. Remember, you're capable, strong, and deserving of happiness and health. You've got this! 💪💖

Health update #4. This is a lengthy one, so bear with me :")
❗TW: food, diet, weight, female health❗
Let's start with a bang: I'M NOT ALLERGIC TO COCOA!!!
Tumblr media
Which is like??? I'm surprised, considering how much chocolate I ate last year when my gut was as bad as it could get. But I'm not complaining at all, let it always be that way 🙏🙌✨
Been a while since I've done one of these, don't even remember that much what happened after my last health update lol
??.03.2023: But one thing I remember though and what's kind of bugging me (just a wee bit, not much at all) is that I've completely stopped my meal diary thingy, but not cause my doctor told me to, that's cause I'm a lazy piece of sh-
No, jk
But seriously, I just can't do it, it's such a burden to me. The fact that it took so much of my daily time just to focus and write down what I ate made me feel like I'm completely wasting my time instead of focusing on trying to be more productive, and, in turn, more happy
09.06.2023: I'm still not doing that cause I know it would make me miserable :")
What's also very interesting, is that apparently, these past few months (from around December 2022, to be exact), I had pretty bad malnutrition and anemia, not to the point where I would literally fall, but pretty close. I would feel dizzy and lightheaded almost all of the time, my blood pressure would consistently be 90/60 or lower, and the back of my head would hurt.
And the thing is, right? I was undereating, and not even because I wanted to do that, but because first of all, I was very confused by my GI doctor's instructions regarding my diet. I don't know if it's just me, it most likely is, but I felt like I didn't understand how my healing process was supposed to work and what I needed to look out for. It was all very vague.
Second of all, because of how vague it was, I was scared to make a single mistake, feeling like the damage from a negative reaction (like unbearable pain of the whole digestive system from the beginning of esophagus to intestines, which I got almost every single time I ate at that time) would be permanent, so I was just scared to eat. I was hungry, cold, and tired a lot of the time, which was really stressful, but for some reason also very hard to pinpoint what exactly was going on. I thought, "Well, I cut out all these bad foods, why am I getting worse?"
And I JUST realized I had malnutrition all this time, like???
Oh, and I also lost my period around December, which contributed greatly to already piled up stress, so yay to that I guess
Tumblr media
14.07.2023:
I GOT IT BACK!!! AFTER 7 MONTHS IN A HORRIBLE LIMBO OF NOT FEELING LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING, or a human being at all for that matter, more like an empty shell, I FINALLY GOT IT BACK 😭
I took pills to get it back. 3 times. After the 2nd time, my gynecologist asked me what my diet was, and I told her about my problems, and she said that the fact the the pills that were supposed to work hadn't worked, meant that most likely I just didn't have enough nutrients and needed to gain my weight back to get my hormones to work properly (as a side note, before December, it was 62 kg, then I lost 4 in a span of a couple of days, and then 3 more throughout the next few months) I did gain it back by some miracle, AND my lost muscle mass, as well as inspiration and good mood!
At the time of my 2nd visit to the gynecologist, I was researching a lot of stuff about GI health and stumbled upon some articles about this thing called leaky gut, and how it might contribute to food allergies, and that there's an amino acid called glutamine that's supposed to help with that
Tumblr media
So I bought the supplement, took it for about 1.5 months, did get a lot better, thankfully, so I started to reintroduce foods back into my diet, like the nightshades, a lot of meat and other proteins, fruits, sweets, gluten free grains, CHOCOLATE OMG YES, etc.
While I did get better, it still wasn't enough though, so I started to research the vitamins that I could've lacked, found out I didn't get vitamin A in my diet at all, which is one of the main ones that support the health of the body's mucous membranes. Took that as well, and it helped tremendously. Now I can finally eat sour things like tomatoes, or EVEN WHOLE ORANGES, HOLY SHIT (but I won't do that again, cause I tried it, and my skin wasn't happy at all). So now I can also get vitamin C from the foods that I like, and not just salad leaves, ugh (as much as I dislike sour foods, I actually missed them lol)
The only vitamin that I lack right now is B12 which I'm not sure how to get naturally since it's mostly found in the animal products that I cannot eat, like dairy, eggs (oh yeah, right, forgot to say, I developed an egg sensitivity), some other stuff, so I'll have to supplement that, probably.
I also most likely won't be able to try to reintroduce milk/gluten into my diet anytime soon, cause I had some rice a few days ago, that I washed really really well to get rid of any traces of gluten in it, and still got poisoned, and felt absolutely sick after that. So yeah... Not in the next few years, that's for sure
But at this point I can just let out a huge sigh of relief, cause I feel like the main crisis has finally passed. I don't feel like my stomach is gonna rip every single time I eat, which is a win in my book. Yay for that 🙏✨✨✨
It's been almost half a year now since my last visit to my GI doctor, I need to check in with him to see what else there is to do. Most likely, a lot of blood tests, and I'd like to do a gastroscopy as well, because I still don't feel a 100% well, there's still something missing, some piece of a puzzle that I can only find after that. So yeah.
Thanks for reading my hopefully coherent babbling :") Love y'all
