If you think about me you have to tell me, that’s the rule.

Preparing to never hear anything from anyone ever again.

I’m experiencing a great deal of disenfranchised grief over someone we lost in a trauma not long ago.

Nursing, sometimes, really fucking sucks.

Your future self is talking shit about you

[oldtimeydildomachine]

I’m talking shit about me too she ain’t special

Me: I don’t have a type. 

*5 minutes later: after evaluating all the people I’ve ever had a crush on* 

Me: Okay, I guess I have a type.

I had a newer nurse come up to me and say “my patient just asked for Chamomile tea. do we have that?”

So I grabbed an AMA form and said “Staple directions to the Hilton to the back of this”

Beauty view for run #2. Hot weather means more amounts of shorter cardio.... Despite my absolutely loathe for it. Cardio is hardio.

“Well ma'am, while there IS exactly 2 reported cases of an MMR vaccine causing stomach upset and diarrhea, I think it’s much more likely this is caused by the unpasteurized milk you’ve been giving this child.”

Some real talk.

I’m struggling.

A few years ago, I was really overweight. Like. 260 pounds and 5’2 overweight. I hated being in pictures, in public... and my self loathing was OFF THE CHARTS.

Then, I started going to the gym. In small amounts. Fifteen minutes a day. Started walking to the university. Started walking to work. Eventually started changing how I was eating and becoming invested in working out. I lost maybe... 50 pounds and gained a lot of confidence.

Then, I met a little demon called calorie counting and I became OBSESSED with numbers. The numbers I was putting in my body. The deficit I NEEDED to see at the end of the day or I couldn’t sleep. The numbers on my scale. The numbers on the tag on my jeans. Counting in combination with working out was, what I viewed as, a godsend. I dropped weight so fast. Within the year, I was down a total of 120 pounds. My confidence was never better. But there was always a nagging voice in the back of my ear saying that I could lose more if my deficit was more etc etc

Eventually I had to stop working out and subsequently counting (I broke my foot), and gained back 30 pounds in that time frame.

Since then, I’ve had a battle with my weight and what works for me. Pounds don’t melt off anymore because my metabolism has changed and my body has become used to being active.

But still, these days, I’ve got that voice again. “Just count. Even if you don’t work out, you’ll still make a deficit. It’ll be easy. You can be thin again”.

And, this is really troubling to me.

@fatmaninalittlesuit, some personal content for you 🙃

Fatmaninalittlesuit’s Blogs of Summer

During the month of July I am going to feature 31 awesome personal fitness blogs! I need your help finding them! 

Here is what I am looking for in a Blog of Summer:

Must be a Personal Fitness Blog - by this I mean you make regular and ongoing posts describing your journey. Show us the highs and lows of your journey. The more personal the better. Pictures are helpful but not required as long as we are able to get to know the blogger. 

All healthy fitness blogs are welcome and encouraged to apply (Weight loss, self love, yoga, running, recovery, WLS, etc. etc.) I hope to represent the breadth and  diversity of our community and will be considering everyone from the smallest to the largest blogs out there so I encourage everyone to please join in on the fun!

Positive people that provide support and encouragement to the community stand out to me and are the most likely to be recognized. 

Here is how you can get involved. 

Reblog this post to let me know you are interested.

Check out my blog - follow if you would like. (I don’t check.)

Feel free and tag fatmaninalittlesuit on posts that you feel show the attributes above so I can get to know you better.

When I start publishing the daily winners - reblog them to help raise viability. I will pick some of the winners from people I see consistently reblogging. 

If you would like to nominate someone - send me an ask with their blog name and why you think they should be considered. This needs to be off anon. 

This is open now - and the first winner will be published on July 1st. 

Go!

When medication says "do not operate heavy machinery" they're probably mainly referring to cars, but my mind always goes to forklift.

My mine has literally NEVER gone to cars.
