Ways I get fruits n veggies in me:

- putting oranges and peppers on the counter where it’s easy to snack on while I make other food

- buying frozen strawberries for cheap to make smoothies which are cold on a hot day

- buying 100% fruit juices or 100% fruit popsicles so I have cold juice to drink on a hot day

Ways I do not get fruits n veggies in me:

- buying frozen veggies I don’t really want to eat because I think they’re healthy

- buying fruits I don’t really like because I think they’re healthy

- buying fruits or veggies which require prep time to eat in a way I like

- getting upset at myself for not eating enough fruits n veggies

Notice how the ways I eat the fruits and veggies have a built in incentive to eat them?

- peppers n oranges on the counter are easy to eat and require no prep time. If I want a meal, or I’m just I the kitchen, they’re easy to grab and munch on.

- I get bored and distracted when I cook. Having something to do with my hands, like peeling an orange, keeps me busy while keeping me in the kitchen near my food. And then I peeled the orange so I might as well eat it.

- smoothies and cold juice/popsicles work because the weather is hot and I already want to cool down. The incentive exists naturally because I like how they taste and I’m already looking for something cold.

- smoothies/juice/popsicles also have a consistent texture, which unprocessed fruit and veggies do not have. Texture is a big driver of what I eat or don’t, so having a pleasant/consistent texture makes me more likely to choose something.

If u prep ur own food and are worried ur not eating enough fruits n veggies, it might be time to go through how you usually choose what to eat and what’s blocking the fruit and veggie choices. Usually there is something that makes the alternate choice you make more appealing (including not eating anything, that is a choice that you make too).

Does having to cut/peel an orange take too long, so you pick the easily openable chips? That’s great! You have chips! But if you want fruit too, maybe get something you can just pick up and eat, like an apple or pear.

Does having fresh veggies sound great, but they’re not warm and you’re already freezing, so you pick the warm tater tots you can make in the oven? That’s great! You have tater tots! But if you want veggies too, maybe make some warm vegetable soup, or get a microwave pack of steamed green beans or broccoli.

Do you feel like you want to add more vitamins to your diet, but you don’t like the taste of vegetables or fruit, so you just stare in the cabinet and then don’t pick anything? Get something that has what you need that tastes different. Maybe that’s a supplement (talk to your doctor first, those still can interact with other meds or general health), maybe that’s a protein bar you like, maybe it’s chopping veggies up real tiny and putting them in your pasta sauce. It’s okay if it’s not the most “economical” or “healthy” solution; if it results in you actually eating more of what you’re trying to eat, it’s worth it.

This applies to other foods too; I need more protein in my diet, so I buy protein bars and oven-bakeable orange chicken, even if there are “healthier” more protein dense foods. I don’t like kale or beans, eggs and I are frenemies, and steak (my beloved) takes a lot of time and attention to cook properly. I need to drink more water, so I buy powdered lemonade and sparkling water. Maybe you hate chicken and protein bars and sparkling water and lemonade. You’re not me. What do you like? What do you need? What makes your needs more likeable? Go buy/make/do that.

i know nobody wants to hear about my self insert bs but i had like 2 main storylines clashing so hard in my brain to the point i gave up on them cause one was in the 80s in game storyline and other in like 90s with tse dave and my mind just wanted both at once and merge them but it just did not work at all so those braincells died off. now the tse one picked up again after finishing the book but i miss the game one even if it was cheesy and unoriginal. a mans gotta do what hes gotta do (make up self insert stories in his head every day before bed) (dont read the tags its info that should only have been shared by me being waterboarded)

wait no ive been thinking more on my merlin x ouat crossover post.

merlin was angry after arthur’s death. he was enraged. he was fed lies from the beginning, was told of a future golden age that was never to come. that damn lizard lied to him and manipulated him to get what he wanted - the destruction of the pendragon line. revenge for killing his kind and chaining him up for decades. the druids revered him and knew of his destiny but never once warned him of what was to come. he had shouldered the weight, the burden, of fate and prophecies and destiny only for it to be for NOTHING in the end. merlin is angry and punishes…everyone. himself included. kilgharrah was right about one thing: he IS magic. he pulls the magic from the world and contains it, keeps it from interfering with humanity. no more sorcerers, no more prophecies, no more destiny. a world without magic. except merlin.

(a LOT more under the cut)

merlin feels the disturbance in the force and makes his way on into storybrooke. its magic unlike his, magic from another realm. just walking through the boundary makes him feel ill but perhaps that was from the rush of unnatural magic coursing through his body. his bottomless well of magic consumes the odd magic and he can feel new spells and enchantments and powers buzz under his skin but he ignores it. he knows the town is some kind of curse, dark magic that sticks to his skin and makes him feel dirty.

merlin pops into town in the beginning so neither regina nor gold notice his presence. he keeps up appearances as an old homeless guy and observes the odd small town in maine. he watches the people not age, the children not move up a grade. he watches as they seem to reset every day to relive the same 24 hours again and again and again. the mayor, regina, seems to be the only one who can move freely/break free of the monotony. the pawn shop owner can also move freely but he for some reason likes to keep up appearances and takes the steps and says the words he’s meant to. merlin cant say much or judge since he’s doing the same.

it takes regina a little over 18 years to crack from the routine and one day acquires a baby. oddly enough, the baby grows, he ages, he is not stuck on loop like the rest of the town. merlin is intrigued and keeps a close eye on the child, the boy, henry. henry becomes aware of the peculiarity of storybrooke at age eight when once again his friends from second grade don’t move up with him to third. the boy is desperate for answers and regina, desperate to keep up appearances and the curse from falling apart, sticks him in therapy. Merlin listens in on regina's subsequent conversation with gold and pieces the entire picture together. he had been wondering and wanted to get rid of the odd magic from his realm and free the people, but no one outside of storybrooke had noticed the appearance of a new town and the people weren't being hurt or aging so they weren't missing anything - so sue him for not being in much of a rush to fix anything. besides, eighteen years is nothing to an immortal. (besides times two, the curse has a timer on it, it seems like it'll resolve itself soon.)

they had come from the enchanted forest, a realm which few humans have been able to see into, real events they had turned into fairy tales and published for the world to read. merlin understood. henry doesn't. he's desperate for answers and the people around him treat him like a child, which he is but it doesn't make it okay. he knows something is wrong. why don't people see it?

henry plops down next to merlin one day. they sit in silence for a bit before henry starts speaking. he doesn't expect much from the old homeless man, but at least he won't judge henry the way henry's friends and family do. they look at him like he's crazy. he's not crazy. and if he is...then the old man probably won't judge him. he talks about what he's learned, how he feels, and wonders what he's supposed to do. merlin turns to look at the boy and shares his sentiment, though not aloud. regina finds him all too soon and henry is pulled away, but he did find comfort in letting everything out without fear of judgement or disreguard.

henry keeps going back. he keeps sitting next to merlin and ranting. merlin lets him. he finds it nice to speak to someone, though henry is doing all the talking, and having another mind to bounce ideas off of, though again henry is doing all the talking but his ideas are different than merlin's and they're nice to hear. it takes a while, close to a year, before henry realizes that merlin is never in the same spot from day to day, that he doesn't reset like everyone else. henry is so excited to finally have someone else in town like him, though not like his mom who keeps insisting that henry is just a child with a wild imagination.

henry looks at merlin like he would have the answers. which he does. but can merlin place that on this little boy's shoulders? he looks at his wide brown eyes, his childlike wonder, his glistening hope and knows he can't. sure, he would know the truth, but was the truth worth knowing? merlin was told the truth when he was twice henry's age, and look how that turned out. henry seems disappointed but not deterred. he seems to make it his mission to find the old man not bound by the strange rules of the town.

it takes another year before merlin feels the odd magic of the cursed town pulse around them and he knows it's time. he follows the magic at night to a well in the forest and finds a story book placed there. he flips through it and finds all their stories, how they ended up there, and reads through it. a day passes before he's finished and has to sit and process. in the end, he decided to give the book to henry when he seeks the old man out again the following day. henry was the only one besides him who seemed aware of the oddity of the town, maybe not the curse specifically but still, who also wanted to change it. plus, his own natural magic seemed to be pushing him towards the little boy for a reason - perhaps because he was of merlin's realm.

regardless, henry accepts the book as truth easily. of course he did. he was a kid desperate for answers and willing to accept anything, no matter how strange, for answers. he seemed to take the fact that it was the old man who handed him the book as a sign that the old man would be his guide of mentor. merlin tries to resist, he's not someone to look up to or to admire or to go to for answers, but henry is relentless and finally merlin folds. he helps out where he can, finally speaks to the boy, which they both seem just as surprised by, and gives him the vaguest answers possible in hopes that it would give him a spark of an idea because merlin is just as lost as him if not more.

merlin guiding henry to finding a way to break the curse, mirroring the disney version, the sword in the stone version, of merlin and arthur's story. not to say that henry is arthur reincarnated but like...did we ever get a story of merlin and arthur that wasn't the camelot plot?? like small child guided by older mentor? i can't remember. it's been so long since i've watched ouat.

anyways, after everything is said and done and the curse is broken, merlin is like "ugh finally, now i can go home and wait for my husband to return from war" but henry grabs his hand and gives him his kicked puppy look like "what? you're leaving?? i thought you loved me grandpa :(" and merlin is just like "...fuck. if i'm gonna be helping you guys, i'm not doing it with arthritis." and shifts into his younger form to go along with all their batshit crazy shenanigans while henry is just in the back like "my grandpa is actually my dad :O"

starting the day off Wrong with. nerds gummy clusters for breakfast,

[orcelito]

OK the thing I cooked today was hamburger helper except I didn't have milk so I substituted with water and uh. 9 slices of cheese. And then I dumped in a metric fuck ton of cayenne pepper, cumin, diced garlic, onion powder, and basil. And added peas.

I rly hope it's not the fault of the pasta itself that I not-choked choked like that. Bc it rly is quite tasty. And it would be Very tragic if I couldn't eat the rest of it bc it was trying to kill me.

[trollbreak]
