Fat Acceptance at the Gym Burns More Than Calories
Even at my thinnest I was terrified to wipe my face with my shirt. I am constantly interrupting the flow of my yoga practice to tug at my shirt cause GOD FORBID someone be subjected to the sight of my scarred soft belly. I don’t know how not to care, but I let June find my belly button. She’s almost a year and a half, and she’s really into belly buttons. I will not let her think there are any tummies that are deserving of shame.

oh!
Also I got two pairs of running shoes on Black Friday for FREE because my brother works at a running store and someone returned them, and saucony didn’t want them back!
LIFE IS AMAZING

Run for fun and the speed will come.
I’ll get faster, sure, but I’ll never be fast!
I’ve accepted this.
Just happy to be here.

Lies fitblr has told me and how to combat them:
| Don't keep junk food in the house and you won't be tempted to eat it: | Don't keep junk food in the house and you'll end up taking out the entire jar of nut butter with a spatula since it's the only thing around. |
| Binging is because of lack of self-control: | Binging is because of unresolved emotional tensions or not allowing yourself to eat what you really want, when you really want it. |
| Have a cheat meal once in a while to cut down cravings: | Don't put any foods off limits and they'll stop being so special. |
| Don't add sugar to anything because processed sugar is BAD: | If adding a spoonful of sugar to your cocoa powdered oatmeal will satisfy your chocolate craving, don't pretend that unsweetened chocolate will satisfy you. |
| White flour is BAD, whole grains are GOOD: | Food is not inherently good or bad. Food is neutral. |
| When you feel a craving coming on, it's because you're lacking x nutrient, so eat this food: | When you feel a craving for chocolate coming on, eat half a chocolate bar instead of greek yogurt, a big bowl of fruit, three pieces of ezekiel bread, a cup of nuts, and three chocolate bars anyway. |
| Scrolling through pages of fitness models will motivate you to get in shape: | Scrolling through pages of fitness models will cause feelings of inadequacy and self-disrespect. |
| Lack of discipline and self-control are responsible for fitness failures: | Depriving yourself of what you really want and getting burned out on exercise are responsible for fitness failures. |
| You can look like this fit person if you stay on track: | You will look like what healthy you is supposed to look like when you do exercise that makes you happy and eat foods that make your body AND mind feel good! |

"If you are a woman, everything revolves around whether or not someone wants to fuck you. Instead of addressing “all bodies are beautiful” how about, “it is not necessary to be universally fuckable”?"
—
This is not a trivial distinction, in my unsolicited opinion.
(via genderagnostic)
Annoyed at messages of “inspiration” that are simply “you are beautiful”. Annoyed at moms at the playground who say, “what a pretty dress” to June when they think she’s a girl and “he’s so engaged!” when they think she’s a boy. “She is a very happy baby,” I reply either way. Annoyed cause I buy into it, annoyed cause I sometimes benefit from it, annoyed cause I still want to crush it. I want it gone for both me and June.

my body looks the same today as it did yesterday, but today it’s done something it couldn’t do yesterday (first picture on the last row!), which has transformed it completely.
on saturday morning i got the daily email digest from PNOC and read that there would be a free nutrition/dynamics of eating lecture for lil babies in 30 minutes. i threw on some shoes and walked over with 2 minutes to spare. it was less about nutrients and more about behaviors, and it was SUPER DUPER INTERESTING. there were women from all walks of life there, and everyone was participating equally. i sat in the front, because i’ve discovered that way it’s easiest for me to participate. i got some ideas about how not to set june up to fail. i don’t know if you guys know this about me, but i’m really into the healthy development of children.
i’m running again, too, so so carefully.
these are the ups. the downs come too, but they’re useless to talk about. i’m striving to trust myself most days and not to flip out on days that i fluctuate wildly. it’s going alright.

"Intuitive eating — or whatever you want to call the radical notion of eating what you want, when you’re hungry, and stopping when you’re full — demands that we trust our bodies. Most women learn early and often that their bodies are never to be trusted, that their bodies need strict regulation, especially when it comes to desire, be it the desire for food or for sex. As a result, learning to trust one’s body is difficult enough; when you add in a past that includes trauma and abuse, it becomes harder still. But your body IS trustworthy. I promise you that. Your body is not your enemy."
— In which Lesley Kinzel speaks truth about disordered eating, backsliding, and trusting yourself. (via ceedling)

There is a German word, Kummerspeck, that means “the excess weight gained from emotional eating” and that translated literally means “grief bacon.” And this, friends, is the perfect stock photo to illustrate that.
The polar opposite of “women laughing alone with salad”
GRIEF BACON
language is so great
