Honestly the way I eat is performance art
I eat wholeheartedly. I eat like I'm sticking up for winter. I finish dessert when other people are on the appetizer. I eat sloppily and unapologetically. I eat with my whole pussy. I eat like my life depends on it, cuz guess what, it literally does. I eat like it's social commentary on diet culture. I eat while envisioning an ever burning furnace in my core that consumes what it touches in a fiery embrace. I eat like I need the energy.
Like seriously, where do you think I got this rack? Mass had to come from somewhere
I'm not fat, but there's nothing wrong with it. Eat like you mean it. Use that energy to do things, stay moving, stay active, not because of beauty, but because it's fun, and ya gotta fuckin eat to do those fun things.
I was eating 3-4 thousand kcal a day on the trail. Y'ain't gonna be able to do anything if ya don't know how to eat with your whole pussy
If you do genuinely need or want to lose weight, you're not gonna count your calories to that solution. Start moving first. And have fun. Seriously. Fuck the gym. Fuck gym culture. Go birdwatching. Slowly learn about birds that live higher and higher in the mountains and require slightly more difficult journeys to see them. I'm dead serious.
And if you don't wanna lose weight, don't lose weight. No shame there. Ya gotta eat.
Yeah! Eat good food!
Speaking of, if you like garlic:
Grab a clean mason jar, or any jar that will hold the amount of stuff you want to make.
Peel a whole bunch of garlic (or buy peeled, im not your mom.. more like a fun aunt..), throw them in a saucepan and get them real friendly with some olive oil, just enough to mostly cover the garlic.
Now heat it slowly on the stove until it simmers.
Let it simmer for a WHILE. About 20-30 minutes.. Just check it with some tongs or chop sticks to see if it's roasted all the way through.
Once the garlic is soft enough to smooooosh, take it off the heat and let it cool.
I like to put a scoop of chili onion crunch in the bottom of the jar before adding the garlic and oil .
CONGRATULATIONS! you just made
GARLIC CONFIT!
It'll last about 2 weeks in the fridge. I put it on all sorts of things. Into soups, Ramen, on steaks, it makes INCREDIBLE garlic bread. add it to dishes where you would use oil or butter and want that good good garlic.
Holy fucking hell this sounds fucking incredible fucking thank you
Yeah! I can't eat gluten, and a lot of gluten free breads are like a dish sponge or very crumbly, so I like to make it more palatable with garlic.
Or when I'm REALLY lazy and hungry:
Reheated rice from last night, a little soy sauce, fish sauce, and rice vinegar, a scoop of garlic confit, a slice of american cheese (for the cheap melty) and 1 Waffle Egg.
What is a waffle egg?
Get a tiny single serving waffle maker for $10. Plug it in. Cook an egg in it.
Boom. Waffle egg. Fast egg, almost no mess. Super quick cleanup and can be made in a dorm room.
PLEASE start putting recipes on your blog, if you ping me I'll reblog them for visibility
I love this so much
I don't know if this is relevant, but among the stupid shit I did when I was younger and just starting to figure out stuff, I starved myself
I starved myself because I hated
I hated my body, the way it was changing, U didn't understand it fully, but male puberty wasn't what I wanted
I thought I was a very logical human, so I decided to eat as little as I could to try and deprive my body of resources for development under testosterone
I don't know if it worked, but it was not worth it
Zero energy, no will to do anything, multiple health issues, and I think I fried my hunger sensors
But it was out of hate, for who I was, what I was becoming, the way people saw me, the expectations I failed to meet
Its been years and I still struggle with eating, and other eating-related stuff, as well as fighting off that voice who always goes "no u don't need that"
Amazing lazy egg hack: (messier than wonderful egg waffle) take 3 eggs, mix them in a small container so it's one homogeneous yellow liquid, pour something into the mix, onion, mushrooms, ham, chopped sausages, then pour it into a pan, let it cook, then flip it, cook it for less time, on that side and boom, egg tortilla, if you want you can put cheese on top after the first flip and then fold it so it's an omelette with a cheesy inside
