So I’m at my highest weight (56.2kg) yet my body is looking better? Like, my back is so much stronger and firmer. I still want to lose around 10kg as my ugw is still 45kg. I’m getting back on track as I fasted on sunday and am restricting again

NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES BUBBA

Anything is worth the try these days 😂

Hey! I’m beginning my weight loss journey now that I’ve graduated from school. I’m coming from a routine that saw me skipping breakfast, drinking two coffees and maybe eating some dinner. I was wondering if you had any tips to help me get into a regular (or somewhat normal) eating routine? Also, what’s so important about calories?

wannabe-alice2:

Hello!

I am very proud of you for getting into healthy weightloss!! Here are some tips:

~ Breakfast: Eat a big breakfast! It should be around 200-250 calories. Don’t worry, you will burn most of it throughout the day anyway. Eat things that fill you up, focus on protein and complex carbs like oats.

~ Lunch: Have a medium lunch like a salad, nuts and dried fruit, fruit salads or a eggs. Anything that gives you a little energy kick, especially if you are in school or work.

~ Dinner: Make sure you eat something statisfying for dinner so you don’t binge later on, but don’t overdo it. Cook yourself something nice and warm that fills you up. Fill at least half of your plate with vegetables, wether they be steamed, cooked or raw. Salads are a great addition too.

~ Snacks: Snack whenever you feel hungry in between meals or need energy but eat mindful. Don’t eat out of boredom or because you want comfort and eat healthy things. Have fruits and veggies instead of chips and sweets and make sure you don’t overdo it. However, treating yourself sometimes is allowed of course!

As to the calories, it’s very helpful for weightloss to calculate your TDEE and then count your daily calorie intake so you eat below your TDEE to lose weight! But don’t let calories ruin your life, after all they are just numbers and numbers should never be more important than your happiness.

I hope I could help you. It’s a lot to take it but really, just eat when you are hungry but eat healthy things and cut down on the junk/snacks and you’ll lose in no time! ♥

In case anyone wants some perspective on how utterly random triggers can be. I haven’t lived in a house with a garage door in four-ish years. Right now at this moment, I honestly can’t recall what they sound like, except something metallic moving and rather clanky.

There was one on tv. I wasn’t even paying attention to it, I had my headphones on and was actively trying to tune the show out. My ears picked up on the sound of the garage door, and a jolt of adrenaline shot through my body as I grabbed my laptop and moved to get out of my seat and run to my room.

I realized what happened after about two seconds.

The sound is gone from my ears, but my heart is still racing and I’m waiting for the door to the house to open, to hear the jingling of my mother’s keys and her footsteps moving through the house. My muscles are still tense and I’m fighting the urge to run to my room and stick a board in front of the door.

For years, the sound of a garage door was my warning to pack up what I was doing quickly and retreat to my room if I was out of it.

I can’t remember the sound of the garage door right now, but I can’t tell my brain to stop trying to react to it.

This can be reblogged, if anyone was wondering. I wrote up this post with the intention that hopefully people who read it and didn’t really get triggers would understand a bit.

So, a thing that’s particularly important here: The trigger here is not the bad experience itself.

after my super funtime medical adventure, i had to change all my bath products, because my brain had associated the scent of them with being terrified and in extreme pain.

these were products i had chosen myself because i liked the smell. and they got connected to the medical phobia because i was using them to wash off the hospital reek and the fear sweat and so forth. i don’t know why they became a trigger. maybe because washing off the hospital smell didn’t make me not in pain. maybe because their ‘fresh pine ocean breeze bluegreen spicy stuff’ smell didn’t really replace the hospital stench, just mingled with it.

but for whatever reason, smelling these objectively nice soaps made me do flashbacks and get all hopeless and wobbly. so they had to go.

triggers are random. they’re often something that was simply present during a trauma, and you can’t guess what they’ll be. no one who hasn’t heard me explain this would ever associate suave naturals ocean breeze body wash with unbearable abdominal pain. so i guess the takeaways here are twofold:

– if you have triggers, remember other people can’t predict them, and don’t expect to be protected from them all the time. that’s up to you.

– if you don’t have triggers, don’t assume you can judge what a ‘real’ trigger is, and if someone asks you to accomodate them, don’t be a dick about it. even if you don’t want to make that accomodation, decline politely and apologize, don’t disparage their request.

Triggers are a case of classical conditioning, where association between a stimulus (In these cases, forms of trauma) and a neutral stimuli (such as the garage door or scent of bath products) becomes so interlinked that you associate them as one. This happens a lot to those going through chemotherapy, where the nausea they feel from chemo medication becomes linked with everything they interact with while feeling nauseous (it doesn’t help that this sort of conditioning is super strong when linked with nausea) so even after all chemo treatment is done, they can’t stand to eat what they ate at the time, can’t look at the doctor, or a white room, or smell cleaning products without feeling extreme nausea.

Triggers are subconscious, and we haven’t really got control of them. Even if you go through therapy for them, because they’ve now become learnt, they will still be there and mess with people. Don’t make assumptions about triggers, and try to be accommodating.
