[kokushibosbestie]

ok so idk if u do like x reader stuff but if you do, can u do like a Sally face fic or headcannons with Sal and Larry. I wanted to request what it would be like for them to have like a very busy s/o. Like I do marching band and outside of school I do volleyball and lessons for trombone and piano. Along with that I take AP classes and student council which give me more work to do so I feel pretty drained by the end of the day

♡~ Sal and Larry w/ busy S/O HCs ~♡

A/N: Yes, I take requests and do (Character) x reader headcannons! AND I'M SO SORRY IF THIS WASN'T GOOD AND I KNOW LARRY'S PART ISN'T LONG I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME ANON. ALSO IM SORRY THAT IT TOOK SO LONG, I'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY WITH SCHOOL AND I HAD WRITERS BLOCK FOR LIKE 3 WEEKS 😭🙏

Warnings: None, just pure fluffiness and love. GN!reader.

· HE'S JUST A FKN SWEETHEART 😭😭 · I will say that he is going to make sure to make your life easier no matter what · like doing chores, helping you with projects and assignments, and planning out your week · I don't think many realize this, but he is not the "badass player" people portray him as. 😔 · So, he will make you sit down with him on the weekend and ask how things are going. · And this is with everything. Work, school, family life, your relationship with him, your mental health, etc. · He is serious about it too. 😅 He cares a lot and he doesn't like to see you stressed. · So when you come home tired and worn out, he will not be happy. · he knows it's not your fault and you can't help it "Love, please stop doing this to yourself. You know this isn't good." · Like I said, he loves you 🥰 · istg this man HAS and WILL beg you to take a break · so when you come home, he'll already have a bath ready for you · once you're done taking a bath, he'll make you sit down on the floor in front of the couch so he can brush / comb your hair · and I honestly think he's not the best cook, but he will cook your favorite food no he won't, it's going to be takeout because he failed · your room is already cleaned and he bought you squishmellows to add to your collection · he'll cuddle you to sleep while playing with your hair · definitely the big spoon on nights like this "Relax baby, you need to get sleep. I'll be right here when you wake up, okay?"

· I'ma be fr with you, he would NOT notice at first · Not until Ashley said something but after she brings it to his attention that you need a little bit more attention, he will do exactly that · and istg, he WILL pick you up bridal style and carry you away from whatever you were doing 👀 · If you protest, he will glare at you and ignore it. · Any kind of work you do is "overworking yourself" to him · so beware · Imma be completely honest, this man CANNOT keep up with you · Your ship dynamic is literally "busy mastermind and their assistant who worships them but can't keep up." 😭💞 · larry is the one worshiping you "Look, I know you have a lot going on, so don't try to convince me that you aren't. I might be stupid in school but I'm not stupid with you." · he will say shit that doesn't make sense WHATSOEVER. 😔 · Ofc, he won't admit that he's trying to take care of you · or keep up with you · obvi 🙄 · I have my own hc that he actually does know how to cook nicely, so I think he'd make you food you'd watch a movie together and talk · once your social battery is completely out, he'll offer you to sleep on his chest. 🥰 · and when you wake up, he's gunna make you breakfast. "Don't try to keep yourself up babe. You've had a long day, so just rest."

Diets Don’t Work

Inb4 the minute fraction of the population fixing to jump on here and say, “Diets do too work! I lost 50 pounds, and I’ve kept it off for five years!” Congratulations on being a statistical anomaly. I’m not talking to you. Bye.

I’m talking to the rest of you. The rest of us. The ones who have tried every diet, or at least considered every time a new one comes out that this might just be the one. Who think, if they could just lose weight, life would be grand. Who’ve spent most of their lives hating their own bodies. Hi.

Just so you know where I’m coming from, let me start with the abridged version of my diet history:

I can’t remember a time I didn’t think I was fat. First time I sneaked food was age 7. I did a lot of that over the next few decades.

I dieted. Tried a few different ones. Once, in my mid-20s, I lost 19 pounds in six months on Weight Watchers. Over the next six months, I put it all back on, plus 10. 

The other seven times I did Weight Watchers, I skipped the weight loss portion and just Watched my Weight go straight up.

I went gluten-free for a few years because I thought it caused my fatigue. (Spoiler: It was not enough protein.) I convinced myself I was a sugar addict, so I spent a lot of mental energy trying to curb my sugar intake.

I actually haven’t gone on a specific diet in years, and I stopped weighing myself a long time ago. Both things have helped tamp down The Crazy, but they certainly didn’t solve my problem--namely, that I do not eat in a way that feels good to my body, mind, and soul.

Read the Geneen Roth canon and even was in a therapy group with Carole Munter, who literally wrote the book on the topic. I did individual therapy with an eating disorders specialist. Much of what these people said had value for me. I got stuff from it. I just... I was just still fucking crazy-obsessed with food and fatness.

Maybe a year ago, I signed up for Isabel Foxen Duke’s mailing list and let her emails languish in my inbox for a long, long time. When I finally opened one up and read it, I was like, THIS BITCH.

THIS BITCH IS SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE.

I watched the free video series. 10/10 would recommend.

And then I signed up for her master class, which I’m in right now. She talks a lot about DIET MENTALITY. Diet mentality can exist whether or not you’re actually on a diet. Remember this. I'ma come back to it.

One thing Isabel recommends is counterbalancing our diet-obsessed, body-ideal-obsessed culture, which we can’t help swimming around in, by immersing ourselves instead in anti-diet and body-positive talk. 

(I said the magic words! Look over yon mountain at the “BUT HEALTH” cavalry riding in! Go AWAY. You’re NOT HELPING. I could explain why, but you won’t listen, so just do us all a favor and fuck yourself and the self-righteous horse you rode in on so, so hard.)

I’ve got a lot more to say on this topic--and you know me, I definitely will--but for now, let me leave you with an experience I had a few days ago. As part of my anti-diet/body-positive immersion, I was listening to the BodyLove Project podcast, and the host Jessi Haggerty was interviewing the women who wrote Intuitive Eating. (Anybody interested in an online book club?) 

One of the authors said something like, "A thing non-intuitive eaters will do is, if they overeat at a certain meal, they'll start thinking about restricting later in the day. They say, 'I'll only eat such and such for dinner.' And that robs them of the experience of letting their BODY tell them what and when they need to eat." 

The following day, I spent a gift card at a local biscuit n’ donut place--the sausage and egg biscuit was slllllammmmming, and GIANT, and I was going to save the pumpkin spice latte donut (#BasicBitch) for later, but when I finished the biscuit, I was like, "Nah, I want it now." 

And I let myself have it, no guilt. Didn't, as I usually would, start pre-restricting the rest of the day's food. That was 9:45 in the morning. 

And I literally did not think about food until 4:00pm. 

Which is bananas because I usually think about food like pubescent boys think about masturbating.

My son was hungry, so we ate an early dinner, maybe 4:45pm, of rotisserie chicken and roasted broccoli, and it was good, and I was full and satisfied.

And then, wait for it... I started congratulating myself for eating only two meals that day... and not having any carbs for dinner...

And you'll never guess what happened. 

Jk, yes, you will. I went straight to food even though I was not hungry.

I realized what was happening in the middle of it and was able to accept it for what it was, so I didn't eat to the point of sickness which is my wont, but you guys. You guys. Diet mentality is the problem.

Diet mentality. Is. The problem.

Some of you are probably on a New Year’s Resolution diet. You’ve almost certainly gone on a diet before. And it didn’t work. If it had worked, you wouldn’t be on one right now. 

I want to offer you something. You don’t need it, but your devoted Fat CrossFitter is offering you permission to say fuck it. 

Say fuck it, and come along on this journey with me. It’s not going to look like what you think it will or should. Do it anyway.

(And I’m serious about that online book club.)
