FitForMe


Hey! Thanks for tumbling across my fitness blog!
SO here is the story, just to bare all and be honest. Hopefully this will make it easier for myself and others to know where I'm coming from.
So my senior year of high school, because of insecurity, and the push of prom, I decided to get serious about losing weight. I reduced my caloric intake, by a lot, too much. And I exercised every day. And the weight started coming off. And I was so happy. Only now I can look back and see that some of the habits I developed and thoughts I was having were actually very typical of an eating disorder. I went from a weight in the 130s to 110 between January and May/June. By June I sometimes weighed 108 even. And this made me happy. Even though I was so underweight my period had stopped coming. Than I went away to college and all the weight started coming back. I was back where I started, patially because it was harder to stick to my plan at college and probably partially because my body was trying to stop me from losing so much, was holding onto whatever calories it could. I did get back into the 120s temporarily than steadily gained weight, finally putting me in the 150s. But I WILL change this and find new confidence in myself.
We turn skeletons into goddesses and look to them as if they might teach us how not to need.

Some Other Beginning's End: Dear guys at the gym: →

It makes us girls (at least me) feel pretty awesome when you talk to us about fitness, eating right, and how you’ve noticed we’re getting stronger. Girls easily feel out of the loop when in the weight room, so please stop flirting and staring at our tits/ass and treat us like…

Dear lady lifters, 

Us gymbos really do respect every girl who is ambitious and fitness-conscious enough to hit the gym regularly. We are especially pleased when we get to talk about health and fitness with you, especially because of the discourse that stems from working with different body-types. Please don’t pay any heed to the dudes that openly ogle you, their mothers led them to believe that they were God’s gift to the world and they don’t understand the concept of manners.
But if you catch one of us sneaking a peek, please don’t take it the wrong way.My hominid ancestors were able to pass on their genetic information by spotting the healthiest female with which to mate. Robust mammary glands were indicators of the rich lactate reserves you had in store for our potential younglings. Prominent hips (and, thusly, a nice, round posterior) were signs of fertility and a provided a good chance that you could birth multiple children without complications (a favorable trait when young Homo Australopithecus hominids were a tasty treat for sabertooth tigers). That genetic information is imprinted in our brains and our primordial triggers sometimes poke through the social netting that has been made to promote social order and well-being in our modern, civilized society. We’re just checking your form.


Sincerely,
Some dude at the gym

Love this.

When an eating disordered person says, “I’m fat” it doesn’t always mean “I’m fat”. Instead they could be trying to say “I’m sad” or “I’m really angry”. Telling a person with an ED “Oh, you’re not fat” isn’t going to work when they aren’t looking to hear that. They may instead be looking for a way to express anxiety, shame, guilt, depression etc through their ED. Saying “I’m fat” isn’t always just a statement, it’s an emotion.

THIS. This is such a good message to showcase what moderation is. You won’t get fat from eating junk food, you get fat if you overdose on it and don’t limit yourself. It’s okay to indulge, you just have to know when and how to stop!
