My accent makes me sound sarcastic even when sincere. I've decided to embrace it.

Hello! This lil cherry wants to go on an adventure, where should i send him?

[cpwiser10]

He might like a camping trip!

[fincherfogg]

What a great idea!

Unfortunately people dont make tiny tents for cherries, but at least the fire kept him warm!

[shmepard]

[fincherfogg]

That sounds wonderful!

[fincherfogg]

Just Chronic Fatigue Things

feeling so tired you might pass out

never feeling like you’ve slept - ever

forgetting what you’re going to say 100 times a day

being too tired to sleep

sleeping for 4/8/12 hours and feeling just as tired

needing a nap after being away for 3 hours

muscle aches

waking up feeling like you have the flu

waking up feeling like you’ve been hit by a freight train

your legs not wanting to work after walking up a small hill or the stairs

nausea

sensory overload, e.g. loud cafés, pubs or anywhere making you feel dizzy

anxiety

being too tired to remember the symptoms of your own illness

[creativeronica]

All of the above and more. :/

OMG I was watching Teen Mom and one of the girls was pregnant and the doctor, legit a certified doctor with a medical degree, told her to restrict her calorie intake while pregnant because she was afraid of her gaining more weight. I get its unhealthy to gain a ton of weight when pregnant but for a doctor to tell you to restrict calories when pregnant??

WTF NO. You NEED to eat more. You are carrying a HUMAN in you! You need NUTRIENTS for your baby to grow. Some doctors are doing more harm than good.

[larasimone-deactivated20160708]

OK, so (from a medical student who’s done her OBGYN and paediatric term) the amount of excess calories you need to maintain a foetal life is so tiny, it’s about 350 calories, which is what ¼ of a smoothie? A few pieces of fruit? 

And the reality is the majority of the time people eat a surplus of calories even when they’re not pregnant so advising them to eat even more than that when they’re pregnant makes no sense. Any additional calories above the 350 needed for the foetus will be stored as fat and not help the foetus at all. It’s likely the doctor was completely accurate in their advice, as if the doctor was scared of the motehr gaining weight then they probably had reason to believe it could become a high risk pregnancy.

Gestational diabetes, hypertension and obesity are dangerous for the foetus and cause high risk pregnancies. Obviously if a mother is malnourished it can cause foetal malnourishment. growth retardation etc, but unless the mother is eating inadequately or getting most of her calories from insufficient sources (i.e alcohol) then there’s probably no reason to worry, as long as they’re taking a folate supplement and following the doctors recommendation.

Yes food is good, and shouldn’t be feared but there is this trend on tumblr to automatically decry anyone for not promoting copious calorie excess, but it’s just not the case that you need to calorie load in pregnancy. 

[thejourneyofathousandmiles-deac]

@larasimone thanks for clearing that up babe! I’ve always thought you were eating for 2 when you are pregnant but this makes sense ^

[mmm-sarcasm-blog]

350 calories is ¼ of a smoothie? Are smoothies regularly 1,400 calories?

[larasimone-deactivated20160708]

Smoothies can easily be 1,400 calories if you’re putting a whole heap of banana’s, dates and other calorie dense foods in them which is quite common in the vegan community.

Alternatively the smoothies you get from cafe’s etc generally are made with full fat milk and yoghurt and also high in fat and calories. It’s surprising how high calorie most foods are even when considered “healthy”.

[mmm-sarcasm-blog]

Well yeah any food can be 1400 calories if there’s a whole heap of it - but you’d have to use 10+ bananas and a whole cup of dates to make it 1400 calories. I know people on high fruit diets might do this but that is not the norm- That would be nearly three quarters of the entire average recommended daily caloric intake in one smoothie. Definitely not the norm. And 1 cup of whole milk is still only 150 calories.

[thejourneyofathousandmiles-deac]

@mmm-sarcasm i think that you are sort of missing the point babe @larasimone is just trying to say that 350 cals isn’t a whole heap of calories overall :)

[mmm-sarcasm-blog]

Yeah I did kinda derail this conversation, huh. It was just one of those "wait did I read that right?" moments. Anyway interesting topic!

28 People With Chronic Illness Explain What ‘Brain Fog’ Feels Like to Them

“It feels like I have cotton candy in my head.”

My favorite descriptions are: 

7. “I like to think of it as a library card catalog from the old days. I know I used to have the card in that drawer (that information in my brain), but the card is gone or misfiled now.” — Alyssa Schultz 8. “Brain fog is like stumbling around in the dark with no clear path out. It’s like your brain being trapped in quicksand constantly.” — Rachel Johnson

This map shows every state where women are more likely to live in poverty than men

Wait… hold up. Every state is colored in. That can’t be right… right? 

Unfortunately, the map is accurate. And it’s especially problematic for millennial women, who are much more likely to have a bachelor’s degree or higher than millennial men, but who are consistently earning less living and living in poverty more.
