When the binging gets really out of hand...

🖤 In this (hopefully short) post I'm going to share you something that has helped me, when the binging episode goes wild.

🖤For me it's always chocolate, so in my example we'll be talking about chocolate.

🖤On Monday I eat 1 chocolate bar. Tuesday it's two bars, Wednesday is full restriction, Thursday is restriction, Friday it's 6000kcal worth of chocolate. Saturday and Sunday I eat 10 000 kcal worth of chocolate.

🖤Sounds familiar? I've cracked the code. It has worked on me, so give it a try! It's simple!

🖤Include your binge food to your diet, every day. Every, single, day.

🖤Let's say you eat 1000kcal per day, but eating chocolate brings it up to 1200 with some arrangements. 200 times 7 is still less "extra calories" than you would have in a week, if you binge. NEVER eat your binge food in the morning, it'll just make you want more the whole day. Instead, let it be the last thing you eat every day. For me, a chocolate bar. Every day. If I would be eating like this let's say for a month, I haven't restricted chocolate from my diet, quite the opposite, I've eaten chocolate every single day, it's value as a sacred and valuable treat is no longer it's title. It's not something I desire, it's a norm for me. I would decrease the amount of chocolate every week, so that I don't get hooked up to sugar, but I won't restrict it from myself. This has helped me from over binging and I can still eat in a deficit.

🖤And then, slowly decreasing the amount of chocolate, I get back on track without the chocolate. This is only a temporarily solution tho!!! When you can restrict sugar, you won't be craving it anymore, but this method is for the times when it's so out of hand that it's either 200 times 7 over your deficit in a week, or it's 7000-10 000 kcal over your deficit limit for the week. Sometimes when we're fucked with our eating, we need to play games and create new ones.

I hope this can be a help for the really hard times!

Stay safe, you're loved!!!

to rewild your witchcraft

walk barefoot on stones in shallow streams.

talk to the wind and let it carry away your regrets.

forage for wildflowers to place on your altar, press in thrifted books, or give to loved ones —be careful when identifying

watch sunrises and sunsets. wake up before the sun. bare witness to the painted sky.

spend hours in the woods among the wild. take long long walks or sit still and watch the world.

talk to plants and listen to them. make friends.

get field guides to trees, plants, birds, etc. that are native to your area. learn which are which. bookmark pages that you recognize or want to find.

sing back to the robins. caw back to the crows.

journal by firelight and feel the flame burn your worries away.

gather snow and bring a bowl inside. talk to it and tell it your worries. your fears. let it melt, transmuting your stress and worries into healing nourishment. bring it outside and water the soil. see how things can be changed.

dance. run. move your body to sweat, if this is something you can do

collect stones from the river and try to find the best ones. keep them in your pocket. hold onto them to remember that you’re an animal.

go to a lake and float. feel the water carry you. lifting you from your stress. bring a vial and collect some for spellwork.

make a necklace out of an acorn and thread.

stand in the rain. dance in it. lay down in the grass and let it pour. let it wash fears away, transform doubt to hope. start anew.

The new year has decided to bring me pain. I was doing a deep clean of the kitchen and about to start the rest of teh house when my low back started clenching up. I've been sitting on heating pads and trying to get it to loosen up, but it hasnt yet and this sucks so much.

Prompt 4: Self-curiosity

What do I believe is “impossible” for me. Why?

I dont believe i will ever live a "normal" life. My brain seems to work different than everyone else. When i try to fit in its always wrong. I try to say things and the wrong words come out. I want to be skinny and pretty and loved but its so hard.

i was doing so well keeping up with exercising daily and then this cold wather hit and now i can barely get out of bed.
