Reminder that Palestinians in Gaza are being deliberately starved by Israel. Families in gaza are boiling plant leaves and eating them. They're also eating animals and birds food to stay alive. There are reported cases of kids and infants who died out of hunger and/ or cold. Starving people is part of genocide too. Remember how fast medicine was provided for the Israeli hostages, while Palestinians are starving for food and water and getting operations and amputations performed with no medication or anesthesia whatsoever.
Long time no posts. Here is me in march 2023 vs june 2023, after I decided to stop overeating (aka eating when I wasn’t hungry, eating out of boredom). Before I was 130-135lbs, after I am 115-120lbs at 5’4.5’’. I do not exercise much aside from walking and swimming due to my busy schedule, but I am planning on doing more. This has been a very sustainable diet for me, as I do not heavily restrict what I eat, I simply just do not eat unless I am hungry. I also try to limit the amount of unhealthy foods like sodium, transfat, etc, while trying to eat more protein and fiber to stay full for longer. My body feels a lot better and I no longer feel full and bloated when I wake up in the morning. Keep in mind that I was on vacation in the first photo and had likely just eaten a big meal, whereas in the second photo, I had just woken up. That may contribute a lot to how bloated I look in the first photo. I’ve noticed that I carry much of my weight (as I gain weight) in my stomach, whereas my arms/legs don’t really change, so losing weight has really helped my confidence as well. I will make a follow up post about how my curves have changed (which was one of my biggest concerns going into this). Thanks for reading!
Before and after pictures of getting Sang-Je, my betta boi
(His colours have been changing and I suspect he has the marbling gene, so I'm very excited to see what he ends up looking like in a few months from now ^w^)
