Most people who hand embroider: *sections off colors, uses proper stitches*

Me hand embroidering: no gods no masters just pretty colors

when i was new to knitting, i remember being too shy to reach out to more experienced knitters bc omg they’re going to see how clueless and new and bad at this i am and look, i know i’m not the best knitter in the world, but if there are any new knitters out there who feel too intimidated to reach out to me for anything (advice, help, show off the thing you’re proud of) please know that i have been where you are, and am here now as your super supportive knitting elder who will be so happy to see how far you’ve come, or to help you figure out what’s not working, or to give advice or encouragement as needed or really anything else i can do for you bc knitting is that wonderful to me and i just really want you to have a good time doing it too!

if you’re constantly struggling to keep your weight down and you gain easily, you’re probably not at your body’s natural set point weight.

the set point is range of about 10 lbs where your body is in an energy balanced state, and it will fight to stay in that range. if you’re below it, you’ll gain easily; if you’re above it (in our culture this is rare except in certain weight specific sports) you’ll lose easily.

so if for example i say that calories in excess of your energy needs would never go “straight to your thighs”, but would be burned off by processes like non-exercise activity thermogenesis, and you think “well i know from experience that if i eat more i gain weight”, you’re very likely under your body’s set point weight, and probably in an energy deficit.

weight suppression can work in the short term, but in the long term all of your metabolic pathways will coordinate to pull your body back up to its set point range.

your choice is either to fight that long, unhealthy, and doomed battle for weight suppression, or to accept the weight your body sits at naturally and get on with living.
