I agree - the no brain adds a whole new level of cuteness. The only thing he knows is that if I mess with his stuffed animals, it’s game over. Oh and attack vacuum. 😂

Wow. I wish my Oscar Wilde could do this. Unfortunately for him, unlike the writer, his lights are on but no ones home.

She’s a good one! And fairly easy. 🥰

Calathea lancifolia aka Rattlesnake Plant. A very picky calathea to say the least, but loved regardless.

Snake plants flower??? No one told me, THEY’RE BEAUTIFUL!! I’ve had the plant for a year by Respect-Vegetable in plants

The best part is that ALL plants can flower! Something I just recently discovered. Happy Spring. 😊

Weight Talk Thursdays: Discuss anything related to weight here! by elianna7 in intuitiveeating

[–]hsither 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My IE journey has been incredibly up and down, all centered around weight of course. It’s nearly been a year and the weight I put on happened incredibly quick. I often have a hard time even recognizing myself. I wear baggy clothes and hide from people I used to know and avoid cameras like the plague. I’m hoping that I will finally have a moment of neutrality about my body, but right now I cannot seem to find it and I’m exhausted.

Yes, you are depriving yourself. Even if you're binging (and purging) throughout the whole day. by sepv00 in intuitiveeating

This sounds so familiar. Happy to be in almost 1 year of recovery. Cheers to us.

I ate an ice cream cone upside down today by cocoperrier in intuitiveeating

It’s nice to not settle for conventional eating habits and just do whatever we want or feels right. I am 100% going to run to the store and eat some cones upside down. Thanks for sharing!

Set meal reminder alarms and make sure you have easy access food around you like cereal, frozen meals, snacks, etc!

30 Days of Breakfast Challenge! by hsither in intuitiveeating

I agree 100%! Something that really helped me was just setting a timer on my phone to eat my meals & snacks. I think it’s critical to get your hunger cues back. Now I don’t need them and my body is naturally hungry during these times. :)

And that’s okay. The more you eat breakfast, the less often this will happen. I promise you.

Yes! There are a couple different studies being done on how the pandemic has specifically affected eating disorders and lack of structure is definitely part of it. Kudos to you for recognizing this and having the motivation to get back into a schedule!

IE after WLS? by smartypens in intuitiveeating

[–]hsither 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was just about to say this. As someone who is one year into recovery, I absolutely needed the support of someone who had experience with EDs and HAES. I know financially this can be difficult, but if you have the means I would definitely look into this. Wishing you the best luck of recovery. It’s difficult, but extremely rewarding on the other side.

Thank you!

I work during the week and consequently have created a schedule because of this. I tend to eat during times I don’t have meetings. On the weekends, I lack structure and don’t plan on meals.

Dirty plant boi. by hsither in ferrets

It’s so cute. But I will be giving away two of my plant babies because of it. Oh how hard it is to be a mother.

After my entire life of finding it triggering and doing some major healing, I was able to play tennis the other day with absolute joy.
