So Apparently My City Has A Superhero. And A Supervillain. Who Like, Do Activism. And. My Mom. Is Dating

Ireland getting heated over bread

Me (as a child): why are all the songs about love?

Mom: someday you will understand

Me (now as an adult): seriously why are all the songs about love and sex this is ridiculous

Do you remember anything fun that you’ve made as a kid? I was really proud of this “camera” I made out of a tea box. I filled it with hand-drawn “photographs” and was very disappointed when people and objects wouldn’t reenact them accurately enough at my request.

perhaps those who seek whump/angst fics and those who seek soft/sweet fics are not so different….maybe we all long for what we think will heal us….revenge for some….love for others…..there is a fine line between tenderness and pain that we all must explore and when real life falls short we turn to the characters we project on for the catharsis we cannot give ourselves…..

Hell yeah

anyone else ever think about how being in the mcyt fandom is gonna affect you in the long run. like one day 50 years from now i’m going to be driving my grandkids to school and i’ll signal to turn left and my brain will be like “omfg.. this is just like that time in mcc14 when philza minecraft went the wrong way in ace race” and then god will smite me by having a truck slam into me at full speed killing me instantly

tips from a (hopefully ex) binge eater

GREEN + PEPPERMINT TEA: i usually drink a hybrid of the two (a green tea peppermint mix) and i cannot stress this enough, they not only fill your stomach but they also are natural and safe appetite suppressants!! i try to drink around 3 mugs a day

DONT CUT ENTIRE FOOD GROUPS OUT: it’s restriction that causes binging to occur anyways so cutting out so many different foods won’t work in your favor. you can eat anything you want (yes, i mean anything) as long as you do it moderation!

STAY HYDRATED: yes ik ik, this is the oldest truck in the book. you’ve all probably heard it a billion times, but a hydrated mind is a clear mind so drink lots of water each day!!

KEEP A JOURNAL: keep track of your feelings leading up to your binges, so u can find your triggers/patterns to prevent them in the future. also journal how you feel right after you binge and when you get an urge to go binge everything in sight, read it first and ask yourself if you really want to cause yourself that much physical and emotional pain.

DONT FAST: i know fasting seems like the golden key to weight loss but i promise you fasting just leads you down a path to ultimately gain weight in the future(trust me, i used to fast practically everyday) you’re so much more likely to binge large quantities if you fast. bonus tip: if you eat smaller portions of food throughout the day, your body wont be so eager to eat so much food. i personally make a small meal and portion it out into little tiny bite-sized containers to eat throughout the day(i eat one whenever i get hungry), hell, i even end up eating less calories throughout the whole day since i started doing this. this is literally amazing for portion control too and your stomach will probably shrink since you aren’t giving it so much to digest at one time

MINDSET: like i mentioned, one of the main causes of binging is restriction (and i know you all know this because we literally all have ed’s and love some good old restriction, but i’ve been able to eat between 500-700 calories this week without a binge so just hear me out) i know this is difficult but you have to allow yourself that extra little food if you’re having a craving(it’s so much better to have that 45 cal piece of chocolate rather then forbid yourself and binge 3000+ calories when you find yourself home alone)

here’s some more specific tips tailored to changing your mindset:

remind yourself why you stopped binging, where do you want to be months down the line? sad and insecure? or happy that you finally broke the cycle?

try not to weigh yourself every day. this one is personally so so difficult for me because i love seeing progress, but i also hate seeing stagnation or an increase(most of the time this is water weight). sometimes when i see even .3 of a pound heavier on the scale i just will think “fuck it im a failure anyways” and essentially kill my willpower just over a bit of excess water weight. we naturally fluctuate so you’ll see much more progress if you weigh yourself every few days or once a week. (as long as you stick to your plan you should be seeing weekly progress!)

you also have to detach emotions from food. food is supposed to nourish you and keep you alive and give you energy, not serve as your source of happiness and or therapy. (this is definitely hard for me to do) and obviously you can enjoy it when you’re with family or friends or on special occasions, in fact you should! but food shouldnt always be what you turn to for comfort.

lmk if y’all want a pt 2

hopefully this helps my babes out, i love you all and please stay safe🤍
