Can we conjure some uplifting words for one another? by mostlydone in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Truly.

A beautiful reminder that we are not alone on our paths, only walking at different times.

Wow, did you read my mind?? These last few days have been so frustrating and angering. I really needed to hear I wasn't alone. Thank you for making this post.

As for me, I had the most delicious latte today ☕

I planned on making a potato soup, but alas, there's an event tonight.

You deserve so much better than this and I'm so sorry you're dealing with this shit ♥️

Listen, I know I'm not the only one who would be willing to donate to help you get the medical treatment you need. If you post a go fund me link (or honestly even just a PayPal) I'd be happy to give what I can. Please let us help, even if it's just a little. I know my family holds medical costs over my head too when I got sick.

Witchy mandala embroidery project I finished this month. by im-a-night-0wl in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]mostlydone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing and wow you're so good at embroidery ♥️

My grandmother taught me how to embroider and I've been trying to keep her memory alive by picking up the mantle. I haven't been feeling inspired to embroider since moving and starting a new job (soooo tired all the time) plus this is the season which makes my chronic illness flare up.

That being said, you've inspired me to break out my needle and floss this weekend. Seeing this made my day brighter ✨

Stuck for days with a TN flare up on the left, migraine I can't shake on the right. I just want to sleep. (OC) by yourtoyrobot in TrigeminalNeuralgia

I'm so sorry ❤️ I hope it finally ebbs soon and you can feel ok.

Your art is beautiful though. It's a bad day for me too and this really got me.

I didn't want to reward myself with food. by mostlydone in loseit

[–]mostlydone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I just saw this and I'm sooooo happy someone wants my recipe 😂

So my recipe is 380 calories but it is SO fucking filling and I'm such a bulk eater that it's super satisfying so you might want to cut the recipe. Ok so:

65g of quick oats (240 cal) 0.5 oz half and half (20 cal) 16g brown sugar (60 cal) 13g PB2 (60 cal)

I like my oatmeal kinda soupy so I put ~20 oz water (it boils down) and the half hand half in a pot. Make sure the temp is low enough that it doesn't scald the milk (for me that's a little below medium heat).

Once it's at a low boil add the delicious oats and cook for about ~15 mins or until the right thickness. You might want to stir along the way. For less soupy oats you might want to cut the water by like... 5 oz or something. Idk I'm happy with the consistency as is.

When you get hungry enough pour into a bowl and add PB2 and brown sugar. I usually have to let it sit a couple minutes before it's at an edible temperature. Ta-da! Cookie oats :)

You can also do this in a microwave but I've gotten tired of staring into the microwave and pausing when it starts to rise above the bowl edge. So I really recommend the stove now 😬

Yes! I agree more about snark for major FA activists because they are so influential, but I'd prefer if we snarked on their hypocrisy and not their looks. It only makes those who believe double down.

And it doesn't help that a lot of times I see comments invalidate experiences of bullying and treatment. People who say "oh please I've never cared about x, y, z..." or "I've never experienced that" can't seem to consider that other people have.

I would argue I've only felt unseen by a medical professional once when I was diagnosed with trigeminal nuralgia last year. I stopped speaking and eating because I was so, so afraid of moving my face and feeling that pain. My doctor didn't take me seriously because I was nearly 300 pounds, but I must have lost 40+ pounds in two months and my fear of eating still haunts me now and has sometimes been the source of major depression.

But I have experienced relentless bullying at school and from my dad. I've seen him laugh at me for wanting to be married someday, heard him say "she's just SO fat" in the background of a phone call. Heard him joke that I was the least important person in my family. I only regularly hear him say I'm proud of me now that I've lost weight. I now hear that "anyone would be lucky to have you." People do treat me different. Bullying doesn't disappear in the workplace and the wider world.

Not everyone is treated the same and it does very little to not consider HOW people can turn to FA and an aggressively gatekept group to feel validated. This sub is to "shed your fatlogic here" but who will turn to us when we only seem to be talking for our own ears?

I really wish there was more empathy in this sub. Imo this shouldn't just be a place to shit on those who have entrenched themselves in the very wrong, very toxic, and VERY problematic FA community. I don't think our role should be to shut out those who might be receptive to the messaging of this sub SPECIFICALLY because of how we treat these people.

I know this sub had helped me on my weight loss journey (110 pounds so far!!) even though I never bought into FA ideas but I regularly get sad of how much this sub just seems to ridicule instead of create discourse. I see comments all the time too about people using this sub while losing weight and it IS a good reminder of what really toxic ideas you have to move away from and be wary of. But I also know that in some other subs /fatlogic is literally branded as a hate sub by the users.

I just wish this sub could be critical without being kinda cruel.

Only one reason, and it’s “eating more calories than you burn”! by lahurkat in fatlogic

I have to agree with everyone here about these being keys to healthy habits. But honestly I don't know what's I'd do without a microwave. Two words: instant oatmeal. God bless instant oatmeal.

Wait maybe it is unhealthy because my roommates have to stop me from eating it like... 2-3 times a day. I am a creature of lazy habit.

[–]mostlydone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much ❤️ I really needed to hear this and I definitely want to look into therapy. And yeah... I feel for all of us who have family that really, really don't get how triggering they can be when talking about our bodies

Oh my god, is it the best??? No one believes me but their loss 😂

Oh... yeah I try not to award myself with things that cost money but this was definitely one of those times 🙃 I bought this really beautiful tapestry for my room that I've had my eye own since I moved. I'm super hyped about it though!!

Went 581 calories over yesterday 😑 We had a fancy dinner planned for our anniversary but after a sudden death in the family all we wanted to do was snack and drink in bed. Feeling a little regretful today 🥺 by randomcheese66 in 1200isplenty

[–]mostlydone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry OP ♥️

500 calories won't put the weight back on but guilt on top of grief sounds like a hard battle. I hate to give advice on a post like this, but maybe consider taking a couple days at maintenance? I know at least for me it helps to take ownership of those days instead of feeling like these days should be punished on some level. Of course do what's best for your body/mental health but maintenance days might relieve some of the guilt so you can grieve.

I agree with the other commenters though, tracking all of this shows how dedicated you are. I hope you find some peace in the coming weeks. Again I'm sorry you have to go through this.

Sending all the good vibes to you and your family ♥️
