#now I'm really craving a chocolate pizza

[sister-kym]

Pineapple on pizza sounds yummy if the pizza is sweet, but wait until you find out what Brazilians will top our pizzas with. From chocolate to banana with cinnamon and dulce de leche. And don't get me started on "Romeo and Juliet" (minas cheese with goiabada, a guava marmalade).

You say it’s 2023 and people should have moved on from the lawsuit but Tobias Forge & GHOST is known for getting sued and fucking over his band mates. I like GHOST but like most people I fucking detest the singer. He needs to pay them what they owe

Anyway, what do you guys think about pineapple on pizza? Like I was always in total opposition, just out of principle, and then yesterday I went to this new pizza place and my friend was like, ooh you need to try the one with pineapple. And I was like, ugh fine whatever. But it was actually so good? I went home and the gravity of the situation hit me.. Mamma mia, did I let the Italians down? Will they ever allow me into their beautiful country again? I was meant to visit Sicily again this November, but now I don't know. I feel so lost and ashamed I can barely listen to my secret Ricchi e Poveri playlist on Spotify

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Chocolate

John steps down from his stairs into the kitchen this bleary winter morning and notices the scent. He realized he'd been smelling it for a while now. There'd been movement below and clanging and whatnot, and he'd written it off as normal Sherlock. But now there is this... this *potion* he craves warming in a copper pot on the hob. Sherlock's not here. Maybe he just popped downstairs to talk to Mrs. Hudson? What's in that pot anyway?? John throws on his brave face and investigates.

(To the tune of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas")

It's beginning to look a bit like chocolate, But I can't be sure. I was up sleeping nicely when - the ingredients went in, And now a bit is bubbling 'cross the floor? It's beginning to look a bit like chocolate, Maybe it's all right? But I've learned to be cautious when Sherlock's cooking things again! Check before I bite.

There was that time he made pizza with arsenic grease, A mistake from every side. Moldy tamales and bread made with hollies And weedy things that he dried -- And I just can't believe I'm taking all of this in stride.

It's beginning to look a lot like chocolate. Smells so rich and sweet … I'll give it a careful whisk, cognizant of the risk, It looks so good, I really want to eat! It's beginning to look a lot like chocolate. Where has Sherlock been? He could tell me if it's a test or the thing I like the best. Will it turn me green?

It's beginning to look a bit like chocolate, Maybe it's all right? But I've learned to be cautious when Sherlock's cooking things again! Check before I bite.

Dude, is this all right???

MATCH UP TRADE ♡

@merbear25 SO SORRY I'M LATE :((( I had it in my drafts, hit post and--missed and didn't notice--I had soo much fun doing this tho! I hope my picks for you are to your liking ♡

MEGUMI

@ i seriously have almost no idea why i imagined megumi with you specifically...but i think its really cute so deal with it-♡

@ first of all, he would TOTALLY get why you want time for yourself sometimes. Mainly because he does need his time sometimes too. Maybe you can both agree on specific "alone times" so no one is like lonley alone when the other is alone??? Yk what i mean???

@ we all know Megs is a little stoic- he would never EVER admit you're cute. Like super adorable and sweet. You're caring, supportive and clumsy?? Makes him all fuzzy inside. Especially when you maybe drop something out of nervousness

@ or when you silently or loudly support him. The latter makes him blush tho

@ oh but he can hate your strong-willed ass. No you're not coming to this misson, stop preparing. HE SAID STOP WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN HE WANTS YOU SAVE???

@ sooo you're patient? You really need that with him. He would take it very slow in the relationship. Like don't get me wrong he trusts you, loves you and appreciates you so damn much. But he still kind of struggles to show his feelings to you. So your patience will be greatly appreciated. You're gonna be rewarded too :3

@ not really a cuddly person but would try it for you. If the time really allows it yk.@ but would hold you close at night nonetheless. Kind of a harsh grip on you but hey, he just wants you close-

@ can he watch horror movies? Yes. Does he like them? They're ok. Does he watch them for you/with you? Most definitely yes!

@ oh but hes kinda creeped out by your collection. He's not scared of many things, maybe like none...but what definitely makes him uneasy are those dolls and nutcrackers-

@ oh and hes super scared of you being mad-

@ its like me, I'm not scared of many things but my mom being mad?? Nah--it's the same for Megumi

SANJI

@ HEAR ME OUT!!! OK PLS

@ Sanji 🫥

@ you do know how to have fun! You're adventurous! But also you're a very responsible and collected person (at least thats how i see you-)

@ i feel like Sanji wants and needs someone like you! You're not boring. You're very interesting and different. And you can hold his ass back-

@ would teach you cooking! And if you ever crave pizza, sushi, chocolate strawberries or a lemon cake, he will do it for you. Any meal and dessert for his beautiful lover!

@ many many many MANY compliments but its Sanji...its a crime to be insecure around him

@ your dolls lol-he gives you some as presents but is still like...creeped out at them.

@ definitely yelled a "QUIT STARRING" at one of them some time

@ ok now the difficult part...You're scared of large bodies of water (same) he will make sure you forget about it. Just don't go outside--or don't think of it. Just prepare dinner with him!!!

@ would definitely hold and comfort you if you're ever scared of a Strom. Especially on the sea cause...2 dislikes collide with one another--

@ super protective of you, what a surprise ik. Not even Luffy can get roo near you lol-and hes his captain-would kick his ass--

We're watching a YouTube channel of a guy in Japan getting food from claw vending machines. While his odd game of 'only eat what he wins for 5,000 Yen daily for a week' reminds me of US poverty and eating disorder culture, it is waking up memories of me as a child watching characters on TV and wanting to eat something. Like mirroring.

Charlie Brown and his sandwiches, Ninja Turtles and pizza, He-Man and She-Ra with fruits, you get the idea. If it was food on TV, it was like a gentle nudge from my brain.

"Eat because your blorbos are eating, you need to eat more." Because my hunger signals were fucked up. But we didn't really understand. It was the fucking 1980s and Nancy kept insisting we say no to drugs while Ronald murdered our loved ones. I remember drinking chocolate Ensure often.*

Dear gods was I ever autistic.

Anyway, now I'm craving soba noodles. Which we have! But husband is currently making garlic bread for sandwich so I'll have soba another time.

Living with a creative cook who was offered a half scholarship to Culinary Institute Of The Arts in the 90s has many benefits.

Heh. My friend just commented "Watching Food Wars has made my partner and I both intensely better chefs due to this same mirroring need."

And I finally realize how much I was mirroring throughout my childhood and adolescence.

(*the doctor who invented the original Ensure treated my husband's brother, who was born too early, developed cerebral palsy due to medical negligence, needed most of his intestine removed and 44 years later still can't eat solids.)

Webkinz Recipes By The Cuddly and Snuggly Teddy Bears!

OOPS ALL CARBS (I swear this wasn't on purpose im sorry). Comfort Foods for the Teddy Bears. Man, I wish these had plushie versions. Also, I haven't made one of these in a while; they are so fun tho. Anyway. Here we go!

"Jest The Best Bagel" Funny Face Mini Veggie Pizza (THE REST OF THE OWL. [sorry] Replace the bread flat things with bagels for authenticity. Also, you can make whatever faces you want; animal ones are really cute)

"Peanut Butter & Honey Sandwich" Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwiches (This recipe has butter in it as well, which I assume you can choose not to use for dairy purposes. Or not needing a refrigerator purposes)

"Choco Chip Waffles" Double Chocolate Waffles (The sheer amount of chocolate may kill you. Chocolate batter, chips and sauce. Worth it)

"Lasagna" World's Best Lasagna (Bold claim, Website. I always forget how to spell lasagna. I guarantee I could not do it without spell check, but to be fair, I haven't eaten it much. There is about fifteen million lasagna recipes out there, so options abundant)

"Cinnamon Bun" Cinnamon Raisin Rolls (I almost forgot about the raisins! I was putting just a regular cinnamon roll recipe, until I looked at the in-game recipe again. Remembered now)

"Birthday Party Sandwich" Mac and Cheese Dogs (Um. This one has you make your own Mac and cheese, but feel free to take the boxed kind and put it with some boiled hot dogs between two white bread slices. Then turned into grilled cheese with chili. I don't know if this is making me hungry or sick. Maybe just do the recipe version...)

"Teddy Bear Porridge" Peanut Butter Kiwi Oatmeal (Peanut butter and oatmeal is pretty good tho. Also please shape the kiwi slices and maybe grab a few blueberries/banana slices if you got any. Also, I didn't know the difference between oatmeal and porridge; turns out oatmeal is a type of porridge. My ignorance, cured)

"Honey BBQ Chips" BBQ Sweetpotato Chips Recipe (HUNGRY. HUNGRY. I WANT THESE. I think I have a craving rn so I have zero other commentary. sweetpotato)

Does anyone actually read this far?

I kinda wish that we could still visit each others houses in Webkinz. I'm gonna make the Backrooms in my house. I'm really gonna. All those kinscash old furniture items fit. And the hotel theme. I'm ignoring the estore stuff because I'm cheap. I even named my Cuddly Teddy Lucky 'O Milk. His room is party themed. Thus, the inclusion of the Jester Bagel and Party Sandwich. Little secret there. Okay, now I should check to make sure all the above links go to the right places. Thanks.

25.04.2025

The last few days I've been struggling a bit... Last week I visited my family and consciously took a break from the weightloss, like I always do when I travel. It was not only easter but also my mom's birthday, so there was lots of cake, chocolate, pizza and other delicious things. I gained 1 kg, which was expected and is not the end of the world. But I'm upset with the food choices I've been making since I came back home on monday. Yesterday for instance, I spontanously had lunch with a colleague at a restaurant (baked feta cheese with veggies, olive oil and pita bread plus homemade lemonade), then had a twix and a few cookies in the afternoon (all offered to me by colleagues lol), and when I came home I was so hungry and tired that I ordered a pizza (which I have done maybe twice before in the entire 11 months of my weightloss journey). I feel like once I break the cycle of healthy eating and have a high calory meal or lots of sweets, I feel so much more hungry and crave more of that food. In the last 4 months I never had these kinds of cravings, I found it really easy to stick to my new eating habits, enjoyed the healthy food and never felt super hungry. Maybe it has to do with how bloodsugar is affected? Anyway, I just need to break the junk food spell and get back to work 💪

On a positive note, my mom complimented me on my weightloss a lot which felt nice. She made me aware of weightloss in places I hadn't even noticed yet, like my shoulders, upper arms and calves. I also stayed very active during my week there, I went hiking in the surrounding (not very high) mountains a few times and used a rebounder and dumbells on most of the other days. I never thought I could enjoy working out, but now I can't imagine my life without it. It gives me so much energy and makes me feel stronger ❤

[meditating-dog-lover]

Dropping body fat percentage (15-20%)

One of my body and fitness goals is to drop my body fat percentage to the 15-20% range. I am in the 20-25% range now. However I want to be 100% realistic with it.

So what can help?

Eating healthy (low junk and low sugar) and calorie restricting on some days

Cardio (brisk walking)

Strength training to build lean muscle and boost metabolism.

I've been following an anti-inflammatory diet. Recently I've been eating much less sugar and I've been eating out less often. So I'm happy about this. I'm not sure what the cause of this is. But I'm craving less junk and sugar in general. 2 possible causes: 1. my fish oil supplementation or 2. avoiding nightshades (I can't have pizza, french fries, or mozzarella sticks). I do believe my fish oil supplement really does help though. I've been avoiding nightshades for 4 weeks and I'm going to continue avoiding them until I heal, then I'll slowly add them back and assess if (a) my inflammatory symptoms return and (b) if my cravings for savory food comes back.

I had ice cream a few days ago with my brother. I might go out for some coffee and chocolate on Friday/Saturday. But my cravings have really went down. I'm really happy about this. If I can go back to eating how I was eating in early 2021 that would be great. But of course I'll eat out here and there (I used to strictly eat at home back then which is great, but I don't have to do that 100%).

I've had some stirfry pasta, rotisserie, and tomato-free pizza when I've eaten out recently.

But yes I've been eating this way for 4 weeks. Since I started my fish oil supplementation and nightshade elimination diet. I really want to keep this up.

I've also been eating 75% chocolate (I normally eat 72% but I've been having both mixed together).

I still do fast on days 1-10 and 16-19 of my cycle. I do want to continue fasting. However I want to see if OMAD and 20-4 and 18-6 are methods I would like to experiment with (not everyday of my fasting days but on some). And I want to find a go-to healthy snack I can have on my non-fasting days.

For cardio I do brisk walk. I've read that it's important to get 10000 steps a day. I do not walk that much. But I'll look into this more. I aim to brisk walk 30 min 3x a week.

I do pilates (mat at reformer classes). I do notice I have strength and muscle mass, but not like a body builder. I would continue with this to achieve a lean and toned look.

Perhaps it would help just to either do more cardio or to eat less. At least I'm eating out less often, which is great! Fasting is great too. I'll see if OMAD, 20-4, or 18-6 are fasting methods I'd like to experiment with. But again I just got into the healthy habit of eating out less thanks to my fish oil and maybe also my nightshade elimination diet. And I'm happy I'm still fasting. Baby steps though, but I feel longer fasts can be beneficial if added to my routine appropriately.

I do NOT fast everyday, that's not a good idea.

I'm working on it, I'll get there. But I'm doing so well.

[abiamantha]

Wait ive just realized that im probably never gonna eat pizza at home again. Sure, if my couisin visits, or classmates are over for a project we might order some. But I'm never gonna get pizza on a random tuesday night again- my dad used to come home from work with a pizza box, and we knew he would because he'd send us a picture of the drive in so we knew in advance and didnt prepare something else for dinner. But now my dad has heart problems and other things that he's taking care of his eating for, and now he sounds just like my mom when he says he cant eat something or we shouldnt have it or we shouldnt buy it because everything is bad and he Has To Take Care of His Eating Now. Which I know is true. He's doing a magnificent job at it, and he's working out a lot and has amazing discipline with it. It just hurts to be sitting at the kitchen table and try slightly roasted aubergine (because even olive and vegetable oil are Bad and we shouldnt have them) (it tasted horrible, it was coated salted in the crumb bread thing i abhor, and my sensory-whatever made me want to spit everything out anyway) and realize that I cant escape it, because the things my mom has been saying for years now have an echo. They're discussing how even oats are Bad because even if they have fiber they're really bad for god knows what and too much sugar and something else that i cant quite remember, while i feel self conscious because im reaching for another tortilla when i know i had carbs already for lunch. Maybe i wouldnt feel so bad about craving a piece of the chocolates they've given me at school if i had the Discipline to work out. Which is something i did for a while and it was fun but i havent worked out since like september last year. And i cant bear it because every single fucking day my mom tells me i should work out. I used to tell her i did. I know i should especially to strengthen the operated foot and i really want to but i dont want to be seen. Ever since last august I do 25 squats before i brush my teeth and before i shower, which is not enough for anything but ibe done it snd i. She doesnt believe me. Truth is i hate the thought of her seeing me work out, so when i did i closed my bedroom door a bit more tha usual (her room is almost across from mine) (i never close my door so it'd be weirder) but it is not enough. Last summer i worked out every day and had loads of fun and felt like i was accomplishing something. I knew i wasnt doing it for myself fully, but the pride i felt was completely and unabashedly my own. I just couldnt balance that with school and doing homework until 11 pm and waking up and being told i need to exercise (It has changed from "you could get abs if you just worked out and look at this im ugly I'll never get rid of these rolls i got when i gave birth that make me look Bad and Horrible and You Should Avoid it because youll end up like me anyway" since 8 to "maybe you wont look so bad in those clothes if you slim down" at 16). But working out was fun. Just me, and the trainer o youtbe whose videos i liked because they were fun and easy and challenging and she was so sweet and encouraging and i wish i could go back to a time when my Stomach or my Eyebrows or my Glasses or my Lips or my Mustache or my Leg hair werent the most important thing for my mother to tell me about (because all of those are Bad, am i blind?). I just want to eat pizza with my family and feel like im going to be okay

[christina-thebarber-yogi]

Hey y'all!! I know it's been a while but I'm back with more new year new me bs. I am not doing the 75 hard challenge this year. Instead I'm doing the whole 30 elimination diet. I won't be posting daily body pics but I'll post some food pics and all that. I meant to start with the updates sooner but here we are. I'm on day 8 and it feels like day 80. I "practiced" a little bit before the new year and I felt like I could do it....

For those who aren't familiar with the whole 30, participants basically cut everything out that is known to cause inflammation and cravings, a reset, if you will. What is eliminated is added sugar (all sources except fruit juice which is weird to me but whatever), alcohol (I haven't drank since before the challenge last year anyway), white flour (pasta, tortillas, pizza), dairy (I don't like it anyway), grains (rice, oats etc), corn (I guess it's also a grain), beans, diet soda, basically anything that makes you feel like 💩. However, it's quite meat heavy for me. I like eggs but I don't want them every day. I prefer oat milk to almond milk especially in my coffee. It's only 30 days but I think fish is making me bloated and gassy. I've tried several kinds (since I'm not buying snacks on bogo now and can afford it) and most have caused me gastrointestinal distress. I don't want to eat chicken every day but nuts and seeds only take me so far without lentils and quinoa and rice to bulk up my diet. I love fruits and vegetables and I really ate eggs sparingly (and they come from the fancy farms and all that) to begin with and very little meat. There is a plant based version that I might try after the reintroduction period. I miss overnight oats with date paste and chia seeds and walnuts. My boyfriend just came in the room with a bag of chips ahoy and I want one. My daughter has been making homemade chocolate sauce and she puts very little sugar in it but I still can't try it for 20 more days 😩

It's not all terrible though. I sleep better. I don't wake up with yukmouth. My clothes have gotten a little looser. My joints hurt less. I. Cook. Everything. So not going out to eat or grabbing a coffee has saved me the money I need to get the best of what I want to fix so that I'll actually want it and the people in my house who share it with me don't complain that it's not good. I'm waiting on the boundless energy that I was promised. I'm waiting for January 31st so I can have an oatmeal pancake and some lentils and rice and grits and maybe even pizza (vegan pls). I'm waiting on these Tums to kick in that I don't feel like I should red by now. Anyone else doing this?

The pics are of my last meal of 2023 (lions mane mushrooms over polenta with microgreens) and my first dinner of 2024 (before I smashed it it was roasted chicken and sweet potatoes, garlic kale, romanesco and purple cauliflower)

A bunch of incorrect quotes for fun

Soren: Remember that time you dared me to lick a swingset? Claudia: No, I said "Soren, don't lick that swingset" and you said "Don't tell me what to do" and licked the swingset.

Claudia: So Terry, how did your first time cooking dinner go?  Terry: Pretty good if I do say so myself.  Claudia: Oo! Okay, what are we having?  Terry: Alright, so for appetizers, we have a potato.  Claudia: A whole potato?  Terry: Yes. And then for the main course, we have grilled cheese sandwiches!  Claudia: These just look like big slabs of black.  Terry: Because that's what they are!  Terry: And then for desert, we have chocolate.  Claudia: These are just chocolate chips?  Terry: They sure are!  Terry: And then for drinks, we have toast!  Terry: *lifts up a glass of blended toast* Bon appetite! 

Terry: Maybe the real monster was the friends we both literally and figuratively murdered along the way.

Rayla: Why are there little handprints all over the walls? Callum, whispering: Why are there little handprints all over the walls? Ezran, whispering: Because I have little hands. Callum: Because he has little hands.

Rayla: I apologize for saying 'fuck' in front of Ezran. Callum: You just said it again Ezran: Rayla: I am not a role model. Soren: Welcome to my very first vlog, in which I try different hair products! Soren: *sprays hairspray in their mouth* Soren: Well, right off the bat I can tell you this one is not very good. Rayla: The only straight I am is a straight-up badass. Ezran: *is visibly upset* Rayla: Ezran, what happened? I haven't seen you like this since you found out candyland wasn't an actual country. Claudia: Come on, Soren! How many times do I have to apologize? Soren: Once! Claudia: ...No.

Terry: I’ve been dropping them the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response. Claudia: Wow. They sound stupid.  Terry: But they’re not. They’re really smart actually. Just dense.  Claudia: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, I don’t know… “Hey! I love you!”  Terry: I guess you’re right. Hey Claudia, I love you.  Claudia: See! Just say that!  Terry: Holy fucking shit.  Claudia: If that flies over their head then, sorry Terry, but they're too dumb for you.  Terry: Claudia. 

Soren: I’m a fool, not an idiot.

Soren: How do Rayla and Callum usually get out of these messes? Ezran: They don't. They just make a bigger mess that cancels the first one out.

Soren, sweating: Corvus, there’s something I need to ask you- Corvus: Finally! You’re proposing! Soren: How’d you know? Corvus: Soren, you’ve dropped the ring five times during dinner. Corvus: I even picked it up once.

Claudia: Isn't it amazing how I can feel so bad and still look so good?

Terry: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of abandonment and my anxiety. I’ll wait. Claudia: You and me! Terry: *tearing up* Ok.

Callum: I’ve invited you here because I crave the deadliest game... Rayla, nodding: Knife Monopoly. Callum: I was actually going to play Russian roulette, but now I'm really interested in whatever knife Monopoly is.

Corvus: Please could you go to the shop and get a carton of milk, if they have avocados get six. Soren, coming back from the store with six cartons of milk: They had avocados!

Soren: The greatest trick the devil ever played was getting me banned from an all you can eat pizza buffet. Corvus: Why’d you get banned? Soren: Touched the rat. Corvus: … What rat? Soren: Chunky Cheese.

Why are you losing weight if not to feel better about yourself?

holy shit OF COURSE I'm losing weight to feel better about myself. I'm doing it because I have high blood pressure at the age of thirty, because my mother never did and now she's having both her knees operated on, because I want to feel strong, because I want to continue to ride horses until I'm too old to climb up.

But I tell people how I'm doing it, and they won't believe me. I tell them no, I'm not on a diet. I eat whatever the fuck I want, I count calories so I am conscious how much of what I want I'm putting in my body, and I move a bit more. That's it. I haven't sworn off chocolate, or fried chicken, or pizza, because the second you swear off anything, you end up craving it that much more.

The second you start categorizing foods as good or bad, you're fucked. But that's not really the point. The post I wrote my tags about losing weight under was about fatphobia, and as I get more interested in the whole process, I notice it everywhere. People are terrified of being fat. Kids at work ask me why I'm fat, and I tell them it's because I love eating, and then ask them if they think being fat is a bad thing, and most of them are too young to really give it a good think, but those who do automatically equate fat with lazy. With bad.

Can't be fat, because you're automatically lazy and bad at taking care of yourself. Can't eat bread can't eat carbs have to eat healthy all the time or you fail at some incomprehensible game that just keeps you from enjoying what you love. Christ's sakes, we all have to eat, and we enjoy eating with other people, and we enjoy cooking, and none of that should be shamed.

Fat isn't a bad thing. It's just a thing. It's just an adjective. And the sooner we start realizing that, the sooner we stop saying 'oh I think I'd kms if I gained a few pounds' or 'it's my cheat day' or 'oh I can't eat this I'm watching my figure', the sooner we'll be able to start learning how to fucking relax.

My weight

Growing up I really struggled with my health and weight.

I recently took photos of myself and compared them to older photos from 2021, 2023, and my Cyprus trip and I've lost a lot of weight with intermittent fasting.

It's just IF and walking (nothing intense or long distant, just at work, with my dogs, and my own walks). Also an overall healthy diet. I never counted a calorie, don't eat diet foods, eat junk and treats here and there, etc... All I really do is skip breakfast. I never felt deprived at all. I still eat carbs, chicken tenders, pizza, pasta, and chocolate. Now my diet and portion control are really good, which is why I dropped weight rapidly, without feeling exhausted, hungry, or out of it. Since January the most psychologically and physically demanding thing I struggled with was my eczema, not my hunger.

I'm pretty thin now and even thinner than I was in late 2021 based on my pictures. I can't tell for sure as I never weighed myself or got my body composition assessed. But I'm slimmer now and can even go further. I'm back to my 2018 body for the looks of it (give or take). 

For fat loss, portion control is way more important than exercise.

I see exercise as a tool that can help me with my insulin resistance, and it really did in 2021 when I did my bloodwork and had a pretty healthy fasting blood glucose. It never hurts to ask my PCP about this during my next annual checkup. I do want to do more than just walk for increasing my insulin sensitivity, but I want a go-to workout that doesn't feel like a challenge or a chore and something I can enjoy and do without thinking or worrying, just like how I approach IF and walking. And it has to increase my insulin sensitivity, that's a must.

Overall just growing up with poor dieting, excess weight, excess laziness, insulin resistance, dental problems, feeling bigger than everyone else, bloating issues, etc... is psychologically damaging. My diet is better and IF helped me lose a lot of weight, and my dental health is a lot better, I'm just working on my gut health still and plan on finding a go-to workout that will help increase my insulin sensitivity.

I want a healthy insulin/blood sugar profile, I want a healthy body fat percentage and weight, I want good teeth, I want to feel lighter, I want to eat healthy, I want to feel light and not bloated, all without feeling deprived. I've done so much for my health since 2022/early 2023. All this "holistic healing" stuff may seem like a headache or a lot of effort and worrying, but it's helping me so much towards improving my health. My diet got better since I started supplementing, so have my teeth along with my new dental care routine and nasal breathing, and the continuous IF should help with additional fat loss, exercising will help with insulin sensitivity/laziness, and my gut health protocol should help with any bloating or heaviness I feel here and there.

I'm going to keep the IF up. I'm so happy it made me lose fat rapidly without feeling any pain, discomfort, deprivation, dizziness or hunger. All while working full-time and being pretty busy and occupied in general. My dog is my fitness coach because he encourages me to walk a lot. My supplements help me with my cravings and prevent me from eating a lot of junk. I still don't deprive myself and don't eat diet food like sugar free or fat free or low calorie or low carb variants.

I'll go towards exercising to help with insulin sensitivity, though at my own pace because I'm happy this new goal of IF I started helped me a lot with my body fat. I'm going to celebrate this and make this a habit and solidify it before turning to a new habit. But becoming more insulin-sensitive is definitely a goal of mine, I just want to do an exercise I know I'll enjoy and not have to worry and think a lot about.

Also it's a good idea to have good posture. And worth noting my cholesterol/lipid profile is pretty good.

Overall I just want to feel healthy and light - low body fat, high insulin sensitivity, feeling small/light/not bloated, great teeth, and a healthy diet.

It will all work out. One step at a time, gut/skin health and then exercise.

     ❛ well. ❜ there's a hint of a smirk on his lips, though he dares not push any further. it alrready feels as if he's on thin ice with rocky— the way it always does whenever he feels comfortable with someone. it's as if he knows, deep down, that he can't really have it. a person who's done what he's done doesn't deserve reliable friends.

     ❛ hungry? yeah, i'm always hungry. ❜ he certainly doesn't always eat, though. in fact, he's underweight. always has been. the way he saw it, when she was alive, his mother already had enough ammunition against him without adding his weight to the picture. though her relentless nitpicking stood for his skinny, unimpressive physique, he envisioned that it would have been much worse had he been fat instead. now, the habits have stuck.  ❛ i'm kinda craving pizza... ❜

     chocolate-brown eyes find hers, an eyebrow quirking up at her.

     ❛ what do you think? will that make us square? i'll even pay for it. because i'm a real gentleman and all that. ❜

"No secrets here! Its called 'I didnt sleep for a week so my body collapses to catch up on it.' A lost art if you want to call it that." She extravagantly claims, giggling to herself about it.

With his mumble, she looks up at him with a raised brow then realizes he hasnt known affection that well, making her hug him just a wee bit tighter. "Well dont dick around with my sleep, next time I will be more upset with you." She boops his nose and scrunches hers, narrowing her eyes at his cheeky look. "You wont be saying that if I bite your finger off for messing with me next time." She responds with a head tilt then grins up at him.

"Unless you like not having limbs or that kind of biting turns you on." She leans in closer before she ends up pinching his cheek, pulling away from him. "Anyway, did you eat yet? Are you hungry?"

"Stepheeeen?" (Y/n) whined, dragging the last vowels or the sorcerer’s name.

"Yes, sweetheart" he answered, not bothered enough to take his eyes off the ancient text he was studying.

The girl took a look at him, hesitating for a moment. She looked down at her feet, thinking.

"Would you still love me if I get fat?" she asked him, quieter than when she was calling for him moments ago.

"What? Where is all that coming from?" Stephen responded, his voice laced with concern. He turned his full attention to her now and swiftly raised his gaze to look at her, only to be met with her in pajamas, munching in a piece of pizza.

The sorcerer laughed at her state, finding it cute enough that she kept eating that piece of pizza, while obviously feeling guilty about it.

"Yes, laugh at me. I know, I look stupid and completely ridiculous right now." she stated, slowly taking another bite at the end.

Stephen giggled at her cuteness, but tried to contain himself so that he could calm her down. "No baby, you don't look stupid, you're actually really cute like that" he remarked, still smiling.

"You're just saying that. Clearly, I'm a piece of pizza away from being fat" she kept going, a pout evident on her lips.

"Then why are you still eating that pizza?"

"So you agree with me?"

"(Y/n) , baby, no, you look beautiful, as always. A piece of pizza won't make a difference" he replied calmly, with a genuine smile on his face.

"It's not only the pizza though! I've had a whole bag of peanut m&m's, a Nutella sandwich, a bowl of chocolate cereal and another three slices of pizza. If I keep going I'll end up looking like a pig, I swear!" she cried, sniffling at the end.

"And why did you eat all of that?" he questioned, still finding the situation funny.

"Because..." she paused. "Well because of the hormones. And well, we went grocery shopping and everything was just staring at me, begging me to eat it. You know I love chocolate..." she whined, crossing her arms in front of her chest and looking away in guilt.

"And you still haven't answered my question..." she continued.

"I feel like it's a trick question" he reasoned, his stupid smile still plastered on his face.

"No, you're just avoiding it because I'd be too ugly and you-"

"Of course I'll still love you stupid, beauty isn't measured by a scale. You could eat another 15 slices right now and I'll still love you regardless." he cut her off, taking a few steps closer and wrapping his arms around her.

"Don't say stuff like that when I'm on my period, I'm gonna cry again" she sniffled, hugging him back.

Stephen let a quiet laugh escape his lips, and looked down at her lovingly, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Don't ask questions like that. You're allowed to have cravings, and besides, that's why we bought all the snacks." he spoke softly.

"I wanted to start eating healthier though. This is unfair" she reasoned, huffing at the end.

"You can start eating healthier next week. Enjoy your chocolates for now."

"But I'll look like-"

"No, you won't look like a pig. You'll still be the most beautiful girl I've ever met" he reassured, placing a small kiss on her forehead.

She finally smiled back at him, hugging him tighter. Yes, maybe she's allowed to enjoy her chocolate cravings for this week.

"I haven't had dinner yet. Would you have some Chinese take out?" he proposed, breaking the silence.

"No, I just told you I've eaten so much today." (Y/n) protested.

Stephen didn't answer, but instead gave her his signature look, almost like he wasn't convinced that she wouldn't have Chinese for dinner. He smirked and raised an eyebrow before asking again.

"Are you sure?"

There was a moment of silence before (Y/n) sighed in defeat.

"The usual. Just for this week"

The sorcerer smiled and reached to order, hoping that after all the teriyaki chicken and spring rolls he wouldn't have to deal with a whiny, hormonal but cute girlfriend.
