Bird - Dog Pose :

I couldnt make myself do my morning walk becuase its so cold but im going out tonight with friends and should dance that many calories off. that counts right?

pro 4n4 tip:

log every craving you get throughout the day into your notes app. at the end of the day, add up how many c4lories those cravings would have been. you’ll realize how f4t you could’ve been today, but you had self control💗

Prompt 1: self love

A friend of mine on other social media has started posting discussion prompts and im going to start answering them over here i think. Youre welcome to follow along. The first prompt was about self love and how we plan to love ourselves. Im showing self love by spending time cleaning the house today so i have a nice environment to live in. My brain works better when there is less mess. Im going to listen to a book I like while Im doing it to make the time pass faster. One of my therapists one time told me to pick a book I really like and only let myself listen to it when im doing something productive like cleaning or exercising. Im also going to do exercize and make sure to drink plenty of water. I got a new water bottle with marks so i can count how much Im drinking. Ive already taken one walk this morning, and i added ankle weights so that every step is a bit harder. Im going to leave them on through the day so im constantly working out a little bit. Thinking about getting one of those weight vests.

Eating will never feel as good as this

Forgiveness Incense Powder

This was made with:

Rose petals - honesty

Thyme - clarity

Pine needles - exorcism

Apple Blossom - love, happiness

Mortar and pestle

Glass jar

I have some things I need to let go of and forgive myself for. I was young, impulsive and...it was stupid.

The ingredients in this are geared towards love, compassion... understanding and clarity. Being honest with myself about what I did and letting go.

This week I am focusing on water and spirit. The herbs I chose not only resonate with the intentions I want to set out, but are also water element herbs (except pine because the moon is moving into Pisces so I wanted to incorporate that as well).

The new moon is a perfect time for this in my practice since it is a time of new beginnings and correlated with me wanting to focus on the spirit element as well.

I shook up the jar and then placed it into an egg holder with moon water next to a moonstone point to enhance the water element of the herbs.

- go on the treadmill either every day and burn 200-300 cals OR every other day and burn 400-500 calories

- do workouts you can STICK with! Not ones that burn the most calories

- I took this tip from a book (if you know you know lol which one) buy 2 scales, tamper with one to show you a fake weight (this tip is for if your parents are suspicious,pick a high weight like 55-60 kg if you’re like 40-45 kg ya know?)

- follow diets like the ABC diet or the 5 bite diet

- read books focused on anaorezia for motivation

- put your legs on the wall after eating for about 15 minutes (you can read it go on TikTok or tumblr while waiting)

- choose your fruits WISELY! Avoid high calorie ones like banana(100) and mangoes (200) and focus on low calorie ones raspberry and blueberries (one calorie each)

- always cut your crust of bread ( I didn’t know this b it before I got an ed I always cut it and I realized it reduces cals by 40/50 percent!)

- try to have a type of workout ritual like maybe 100 jumping jacks right when you wake up or sit-ups

It dialect need join have to eat a lot no just show people your are eating!

(If it helps try to schedule your meals AROUND the time you know your siblings or parents will be at the dinner table or kitchen)
