Millenial girlie. Bisexual 💖💜💙. Engaged 💍 Losing weight while recovering from BED. Love romanticising my life, LoFi music, soft fitness and cosy aesthetics. I enjoy nature walks, yoga and a bit of pilates. Mental health: BPD, OCD, GAD, PTSD and more 💅🏻

Note: This is an intentional weight loss friendly blog! If intentional weight loss triggers you, this may not be the space for you.

I'm documenting my BED recovery, Emotional Eating recovery journey and fitness journey, among other things.

I discuss calorie tracking, exercise in the form of joyful movement, self care, BPD struggles and more.

No bullying, fatphobia or bigotry of any form are welcome here!

Be kind and take care of yourself 💜

My beloved Yoga with Kassandra does Pilates too now. And even though Yoga will be forever my favorite form of bodyweight exercise, I'm here giving her pilates classes a go!

Venting about my toxic MIL who triggers my BED, depression and anxiety

TL;DR My MIL is very toxic, we can't go no contact because she needs assistance and lives just two doors down in this tiny village. She is very triggering and I've been binging to cope. I need to find a way to put myself together and stop.

Dealing with a TIL ("toxic-in-law") with very clear trails of NPD who lives just two doors down and needs daily assistance from my fiancee and myself is more challenging than I ever thought it can explain.

She drains the life out of both of us. She is controlling and manipulative and constantly puts me down to make herself feel better. She makes me cry often and walks all over my boundaries. Yet we can't go no contact because she's disabled and needs assistance with daily tasks.

My fiance cooks for her daily and we rarely have dinner just the two of us. I clean, do chores and run errands as much as I can and I try to keep her company.

But she's so ungrateful and petty. And somewhat jealous of my relationship with her son. She constantly puts him down anyway and tried to undermine our relationship.

All this has me terribly depressed. I have no family of my own so I thought she would be like a mother figure for me.

But she's toxic, fatphobic, a bigot and I don't even know what else to say. But she's one of the main reasons why I've been binging daily and putting on weight. She loves being "the fairest of them all", the most beautiful and dainties so she's quite enjoying my putting on weight. She shouldn't be competing this way and comparing herself with a much younger woman who happens to be her son's partner, but here we are...

I have BPD and a ton of issues, so it's not so easy for me to just "toughen up". EDs and maladaptive coping mechanisms in general is something I've been struggling with for years. She's so triggering and we can't get away from her any time soon.

I just needed to vent. And I know not everyone with NPD or traits of it are this way. This is just about this person in particular.

Early morning walk 🌺

Just before 07:00am, off I went for a walk, with my coffee and my dreams of becoming a better me 🪻

Slowly making better choices

Little treat while out shopping today 😊

Unsweetened iced latte and a kid's portion ham sandwich (wholemeal bun).

I find it hard to go back to normal eating after a prolonged period of binging. It feels like my stomach has stretched out (probably accurate) and my body and mind expect the food.

So I choose to focus not on perfection but on making better, smarter choices every meal.

Self hatred has taken me further and further away from my goal and buried me deeper in my sorrow and maladaptive coping mechanisms, so I'm working hard to step away from it and embrace compassion instead.

TW brief binge mention

Post Binge Walk 🚶🏻‍♀️

Low quality pic of my Apple Watch showing my short walk on the walking pad while watching YouTube. This was after a binge, and deciding that I can make a healthy choice rather than keep on binging.

Back on track! 💪🏻

More low quality pics to come, bc this phone has a terrible camera and I won't be able to get a new one until summer 🙃

This is your reminder that being on your period is an EXTREMELY valid reason not to workout. I don't care what your high school gym teacher told you. An organ is tearing itself apart inside of you. You do not NEED to workout on your period. Obviously, do it if you want to. But you should never feel bad or think you're lazy if you don't. You're not lazy. Women have literally compared bad period cramps to the pain of being in labour.

[lofi-fit]

This made me feel so valid! I have PCOS and I have recently stopped working out on my period because the cramps are so bad and the flow very strong. I was feeling guilty about it so reblogging to stop the shame and guilt of not working out during our periods 🫶🏻
