Back and arms day. Deadlifts always make me happy.
And yes, Mac decided to meander by and supervise me

I have a pair of track pants that I stopped wearing because they kept sliding down my ass and falling off
I wore them to physio today. No problem at all. Never slipped or slid once. They were too tight before and I couldn't pull them high enough over my hips for them to stay up. Now they're fine
Which is great because my other workout pants are getting so baggy they come up almost to my bra band when I pull them up now
#i don't know exactly how much weight i've lost because at my heaviest i was over the limit on my scale#but it's somewhere around 40-50 lbs#I talked about my frustrations with weight loss here recently but i am going to try to focus on the positives as much as i can#fitting back into nice pants that don't fall down now? yes. good#i may ask my mom's seamstress friend to take in some of my bigger clothes for me that i don't want to lose#mod post#diet talk#ask to tag#weight loss

semi-heavy adhd vent tw 🫢🫢
personally of the opinion that the worst thing about adhd is the subtlety. we joke abt how obvious and silly it is but its barely visible 95% of the time.
& u spend your whole life not knowing if the mental struggle you have doing basic shit is what everyone deals with or if something's wrong. even when you KNOW you have adhd and even have it TREATED you STILL don't know if you're having a normal amount of obstacles.
i've been on meds for two years now and i just spent a whole fucking summer semester not sure if i was having adhd burnout or if my meds weren't working or if i was actually just being lazy. i think its all three, but who knows! and now i have a final tomorrow that i have to pass and i dont know if i can because i could barely fucking do any work all semester.
this happens like every year/semester but this one particularly stings cause it was supposed to be really good this time!! lots of free time, one class to worry about, the best nd-friendly note-taking system i've ever used, lots of flexibility, and friends to spend time with. it was even a science class!! chem, not bio, but better than non-science, right? but apparently, the only way i can ever stay motivated and on the ball is if im chained to a super-stressful and merciless schedule. so i have to choose between my long-term success and my mental health!!
i don't envy neurotypicals for the weird fucking ways they operate sometimes but good lord fucking jesus it sounds nice to be able to do things. i feel like a loaded gun with a busted trigger; i have all these amazing ideas and well-thought-out schedules and all the passion and desperation to follow through, but my brain and body just. won't. do it.
#vent#adhd#im really freaking out ngl but i will pull through because i HAVE to#i did the math and as long as i get like a 50 on this test i will almost definitely pass#but i'd at least like a -B#im just trying to find a way to be productive without destroying myself#cause i tried the insanely busy routine in the spring semester of my senior year of highschool and it worked!!#but i was sickly and exhausted and losing weight and everyone but me noticed#i kinda promised my friends not to do that to myself again#god i hate having adhd sometimes FUCK#i keep telling myself im only 18 and i'm still figuring out my adhd and unlearning the habits i learned growing up to survive#and that a lot of people do stupid shit and struggle in college even WITHOUT adhd#but omg how long is it going to take until i can rely on myself#im really scared im never gonna figure it out and i wont be able to do the things i wanna do#i just wanna sit in a lab all day and research cells or some shit man!! put me in a room full of bugs or worms or something!! jesus!!#this isn't the fun witty adhd stuff i like posting about but hey at least my brethren out there will be able to relate :)#adhd student#adhd struggles#adhd mood#adhd problems#neurodivergent#neurodivergent student#college#stem student#buggie's nerd stuff

#I would like to lose weight for the sake of my health#and I would like to get older with tattoos I enjoy looking at#and eventually get old with those tattoos#and not die at like 40-50 y.o. like my parents#that's literally it#that's the goal#live and be happy and healthy#gotta seriously do something about my weight#if dima does it so can I#personal

I leave the front for 3 days. *3 days* and my progress is shattered - you wonder why I’m scared to give up control! 😣
Ana is an entirely different kettle of fish when you have alters that don’t cooperate with you.

had an appointment w my pcp and told her the plastic surgeon i had a consult w wants me to lose weight before he'll consider top surgery and she just sighed deeply.
#messages from the ouija board#weight loss //#i am going to try bc its not a lot hes asking me to lose. like its within that small range that studies say its possible to lose & keep off#and i also dont need to keep it off i just need to get this top surgery#but everywhere else i looked that will take my insurance is like. we need you to lose 50+ lbs to even consider you#so this guy being like 'can you get down to 225?' isnt the worst thing that could happen#like id rather do that than pay out of pocket somewhere.#but my pcp's weary sigh was validating

todays concepts to grapple with are “accept Done over Perfect” and also “change is an inevitable constant”, both are very good sentiments that will better my life when i accept them, but it also means not restarting my crochet project and to stop staring at my face so hard in the mirror, and ima be real both of those r suck
#i wanna redo a pannel on my purse. but thatd be a few hours of work undone and redone#but also id like if it were Perfect. but also i dont wanna redo all that. but also i wanna finish this so i can move on to other shit#idk i cant tell if its something ill forget abt eventually or if its an issue that ill look at every time i use the purse#im. hgggnnn.#the mirror thing is bc of the dermotilomania and also my face is changing bc lack of teeths#isnt a huge deal. but also sometimes i look at the mirror like. Who Are You#i mean. rapidly dropping 50 pounds and losing half your teeth and anxiety making your face the ultimate stim toy. its like. yeah of course.#of course i feel weird. it ties in with being sick. so much shit has changed my body and i havent processed it rlly#thats why im leaning so hard into making clothes and dying my hair. reclaiming what i can control etc etc#i try not to worry abt how i look. i try to just focus on gaining weight and keeping my illnesses managed#but sometimes i look in the mirror like. oh. this isnt who i was#but change is inevitable and i will learn to love this new me too :)#i made myself feel better just by talkimg this out yay#im gonna get super high and crochet YIPPEE!!

Seeing myself in photos truly makes me want to die.
#I hate it. I put so much work into losing weight and keeping healthy and then?#I reacted SO badly to the forced vaccines and gained 50 pounds in 2 months despite exercising daily and eating under 1600 cals/day#And no matter what I do I haven’t been able to like. Shed the weight again#Seeing myself in photos other people took truly just has me going ‘holy FUCK’#And then I spiral.#I don’t know why but it messed up my hormones badly. I didn’t get a period for over six months#(INSANELY unusual for me as I have been regular like clockwork my entire life no matter my weight)#And then even once I started getting them again it took another two years for them to stabilise/get back to being like clockwork.#During that time no matter what or how much I exercise it’s just been a steady weight gain#Until I saw myself in a photo someone else took and yeah holy shit want to die I’m so fucking ugly it’s not even funny#text#chey.txt

So proud of myself. I did 5 workouts last week. First time in, I don't know how many months I've done that.
This week starting off strong by picking a Cathe workout, I did the upper body part and then did a 15 min walk on the treadmill to get my steps up a bit higher

kinda bs that weight gain might make your chest grow but if you lose weight it wouldn't necessarily shrink your chest
#weight mention#tbh 90% of the time i go braless#even with a friend i wouldn't necessarily wear a sports bra#top surgery is too expensive lol#but even so i'd be happy with like a 50% reduction/one cup size down or so /shot#b/c i don't wanna be completely flat/masculine/androgynous#but at the same time i'd still prolly need to lose weight b/c if my chest was flat#it'd make my belly look pregnant if i wore something revealing lol#tho more or less if i live in the south i prolly would have to start wearing a bra or at least sports bra/undershirt again#like i did in high school sincei live in the south and ppl are uptight#although also there'd prolly be creepers staring at my chest either way#or maybe find thicker shirts outside of summer lol#bc otherwise i wouldnt' care#tho tops aside i prolly need more bottoms#bc i prolly can't wear skirts/dresses to a workplace every day even if some places allow shorts lol

I lost 100lbs and reached my goal weight - but became discouraged because I still didn't look how I wanted to. The fantasy version of myself that kept me going for the whole long process never materialized. Maybe someone reading this can relate.
I was lighter and smaller-sized, sure, but also saggy and baggy and old-looking with loose drooping skin like a melting candle. And there was still pockets of fat that were so stubborn and it seemed like maybe I'd be stuck with them.
I was tired of the constant struggle of weight loss when it seemed like I was never truly going to reach my goal. I looked okay clothed, but felt like a fraud because I knew how my body looked underneath.
So now after months of despondency, I am now getting back into my workouts and mustering up some motivation to get my body a bit closer to how I would ideally like it to be.
And using some witchy techniques to help make it all a bit more fun and engaging for myself and add some oomph to my results! Let's see how it goes!
