When Kyle first sees you you’re just silently staring at a shelf of cheese. He needs to grab some cheddar but he doesn’t want to rush you so he just pretends to look at something nearby.

After about 5 minutes of you silently staring as if the secrets of the universe may reside within a chunk of mozzarella he decides to ask if you need help. “Did you.. need help choosing..?”

You look over at him, big eyes filled with confusion. “How do you.. I don’t.. sorry- am I in your way?”

Now the intrigue, mixed with barely contained amusement, takes over. “What are you looking for?”

You huff quietly, waving at the cheese. “I just started some stupid diet and it’s so confusing.”

That really hooks him, when he isn’t deployed he works as a PT at his local gym. Hence, he knows a decent amount on nutrition.

A few minutes of careful consideration later and you’re happy with your cheeses. “Would you maybe.. want me to walk around with you, we can do our shopping together, I’ll help you if you need it?”

Your smile practically blinds him as you nod happily. “Yes please.. if you don’t mind?”

“Not at all..”

You both spend about an hour slowly walking around the store, filling your trolleys, chatting, and showing each other your favourite snacks.

By the end of the shopping trip you have a good assortment of foods, a new number added to your phone, and a time arranged to workout together at the gym he works at.

with bts returning a quick reminder not to comment on their bodies in any capacity even if it’s currently pervasive on social media. because i see people very fervently arguing on what they prefer on them (muscles, their skin tan, more or less weight, keeping their military build, telling them to eat, rehashing weight cycles during their career, “i’m okay with his form” talk - ew, guessing how comfortable bts are in their skin, comparing comparing comparing, whether they look ‘flat’ or bulky, what the company should do, their BMI and whatnot) so please refrain from engaging in that for obvious reasons - diet and beauty culture is already beyond down the drain globally and in south korea/kpop especially, and it reflects back to all of us with its rigid templates. and yes, just because they’re men and they post shirtless stories doesn’t make it okay to keep this downward spiral going since it goes both ways. no, a bulging muscle pic is not a free ticket to go off on your knee-jerk fantasies/diet prescriptions for bangtan. that’s just invasive.  

guys are already subject to the whole losing fat + strength scrutiny that glorifies superiority/physical violence as we see on every billboard which i hate with a passion, plus weight is touchy for men as well, the kpop industry goes to extremes with this (idols get weighed every week by pretty much all companies out there, not just trainees talk about this) - so even if the members talk about their physique or post pictures of it, wildly debating and putting pressure on their appearance verbally, intended or not, is still a no-go as with everyone else (toward girl groups, toward yourself in the mirror, and strangers on the street, no difference). you don’t know what kind of reaction they want to hear and what they really think about their looks: you’re not inside their heads. i see too many strange salivating posts about it directly in front of the members and was reminded of the many body image talks they’ve shared over the years - lets not make it worse and push the members into another heavy food/gym odyssey with brainless comments on their streams - instead be the person writing “he looks as sweet as ever 😊”, call it a day, and i promise you’ll be fine just exercise some restraint please

You start dieting

Characters: Alastor, Lucifer, and Sir Pentious.

Trigger warning: talking about dieting to lose weight in a healthy way.

Alastor

He’d like cooking for you and eating with you, so figure out without you telling him.

He’d ask you about it while you’re eating with him.

He’d ask if someone was making you feel like you need to lose weight.

He’d tell you you’re perfect the way you are but as long as you’re doing it in a healthy way then of course it’s fine if you continue.

Lucifer

Is too busy minded to notice anything, you’d have to tell him.

He’d hate the idea of you dieting because he doesn’t want anything about you to change.

He’d tell you you’re perfect the way you are and you don’t need to change anything.

Would definitely ask if someone or something made you feel like you need to diet.

Of course he’d let you continue but he wouldn’t be happy with it.

Sir Pentious

Because he’s constantly watching you he notices almost immediately.

He’d ask you about it in a private place like one of your rooms.

Both in the time he was alive and in his time in hell he’s seen dieting not be the safest thing so he’d be worried.

After you explain how you’re being safe in how you’re dieting he’d worry less but would still keep a close eye on you.

So, I’ve been on this meal replacement diet for a bit over a week now, and I’m definitely noticing a difference.

Generally, I’m feeling much weaker physically.

More irritable/shorter fuse, I’m getting agitated by the smallest things.

Very tired.

Very bad derealisation, more anxious so to be expected.

Loss of concentration.

But I’m not hungry between meals anymore and I have lost 3lbs. So you know, pluses and minuses.
