Ignoring hunger is not a sign of strength. Respect your body and its signals. You can’t live a fulfilling life if you’re trying to walk around empty.

That last line is brilliant. So, so important.

Peanuts have a shelf life of 6-9 months, yet approximately 3 million people in the United States have a peanut allergy, making it outright deadly to consume them. Do you believe peanuts are good for those people?

Honey, brown rice, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, white vinegar and cornstarch all have ridiculously long shelf lives if they are stored properly. In the right context, they can’t go bad. Do you believe that these things are inherently bad for you?

Frozen tv dinners can last upwards of two years when stored correctly. The organization Meals on Wheels frequently delivers these meals to homebound seniors who rely on them for food, since the inability to purchase their own ingredients or cook for themselves would leave them starving without such aid. Are these meals bad?

—> This dichotomy between “good” and “bad” foods is arbitrary and hurtful. It’s an ideology within the fitness community that’s largely rooted in racism, ableism and classism: Categorizing food like this praises the people who have access to resources that allow them to restock their pantry on a regular basis, while punishing those who are only able to replenish their food supplies sporadically. It praises those who can afford the rising prices of produce and perishable goods while punishing anyone whose income forces them to rely on processed diets. This isn’t fair, and it’s not respectful.

It does no one any good to separate food into moral categories like this. No food will ever be inherently good or evil: Some people will always view it as “good” and beneficial to their lives, while others will view it as “bad” and avoid it whenever possible. That’s okay! There’s no reason for us to attempt to force our views onto others, especially considering that we’re all going to have different situations and concerns that we have to deal with.

True - BUT DON’T BE A DICK

- The gym is as equally important to them as it is to you

- Chances are they are confused, feel intimidated and awkward. Help them if they are struggling or doing anything dangerous

- Be patient - they may not understand gym etiquette or the basic rules yet

- Staring, tutting, eye-rolling, all passive aggressive dick moves. Don’t, just don’t. 

This is your opportunity to show newbies how things should be done, that gym camaraderie exists, that they can get from where they are today to where you are in a year. 

Be a mentor, or at the least just be patient and kind.

You know something we don’t get taught often?  Why bodies with uteri often have a slight pouche. You wanna know why? Because the uterus leans against the outside wall of the abdominal cavity. The uterus is literally making that little pouche, the belly that we call fat all the fucking time, and that’s why it’s so fucking hard to get a absolutely flat belly! And thank fuck for having a female anatomy professor who is old enough and feminist enough to not give a damn and cheerfully tell us all the details that a male professor might have thought unimportant.  Cause fuck this society that ignores organs in order to fat-shame us.

I had no idea. Like, absolutely no idea.

Honestly I’m so sick of seeing rich-girl fitness. Don’t show me pretty vegan smoothies in mason jars held by a girl with perfect makeup, a manicure, and a color-coordinated running outfit. Show me diets and workouts that I can manage when I’m working 13 hours days and living on a budget. Show me how to eat healthy when I have 5 minutes for lunch. Show me small things I can do to help my body. Show me workout plans that I can do outside of a gym when I can’t afford a membership. I don’t have time. I don’t have money. Half the time I don’t have the motivation to get up in the morning. But I have a body. I want to be healthy.

Me: this applies to everyone but me because I am unlovable™

Fat and beauty can coexist. “You would be beautiful if you lost a bit of weight” and “you still have a pretty face” are not compliments. You are beautiful now and your whole being is pretty. Your soul is alight. You are radiant.

Use an ice cube tray to stay healthy this holiday season

This just in – ice cube trays aren’t just filled with water anymore. Fill your trays with the following to practice portion control and commit to healthier habits!

Cookies: Scoop batter into an ice cube tray. Pop out and bake one cookie at a time to avoid overindulging.

Smoothies: Freeze your favorite smoothies in an ice cube tray. Pop out a few at a time to blend and enjoy as a healthy snack.

Keep reading

[boldlyawkward]

Or eat what you want because it’s the damn holidays. 👎🏻

[enlightened-health]

LMFAAOOO “bake one cookie at a time” this shit. 

[w0rldweaver]

my parents would have a cow if I ran up the electric bill to bake one fucking cookie at time !!! lmao

Skip dinner, be thinner? More like skip dinner and be cold, dizzy, and fucking miserable.

Please eat something. You’re worth it.

[cats-tats-recovery]

The notes on this blows my mind. Please please PLEASE eat. No matter how much you weigh or want to weigh YOU HAVE TO EAT TO SURVIVE. Our bodies are like cars, they need fuel to keep going.

Last first day of high school, as well as the start of the craziest year of my life. A simple and delicious dinner - vegetables with hummus and boiled new potatoes with salt, black pepper and sriracha.
