sharing my experiences as a disabled 20 year old who is on their HEALTHY wl journey

Ngl. I’m so tired of “at least you’re feeding them mama!” Bs that keeps coming up when there’s criticism of a mother who is clearly over feeding her children and is making them malnourished and is posting it openly and proudly on the internet like 🙃.

I another situation where a lot of people struggle with wl is the "all or nothing" mindset that a lot of people (including me at times) have.

the mindset that oh I "ruined my diet by eating one cookie, might as well eat the rest of them"

and it's SO hard to unlearn it but has made my progress mentally and physically SO much easier.

The whole "I can't lose weight/xyz condition makes it impossible to lose weight" is what made me stop even TRYING to exercise and form healthy eating habits. It kept me stuck in this mindset of "I'm helpless" and "well what's the point, it's impossible" cycle that gave me the excuses to continue the unhealthy habits that I had formed.

YES you can have PCOS/PMOS and STILL get to a healthy body weight

YES certain conditions can make it harder to lose weight, but also being at a higher body weight can exacerbate the symptoms of a lot of conditions and make you feel even worse.

But continually being in the mindset that "it's just genetics" or "it's impossible to lose weight because of xyz condition" is what's keeping so many people stuck.

I hate how people will say "diet/zero sugar sodas are soooo bad for you!"

and in the same breath drink 2 full sugar redbulls

girl, leave me and my low cal beverages alone </3
