Hello nutrition focused friends.

I wanted to take time to post an update since I've been absent from this platform for far too long. I let life discourage me from what I love but I want to spend the next few weeks getting back into the nutritional swing of things; especially as holiday time approaches.

I'd love your feedback, but I think I'm going to continue diving into plant based holiday themed meals as well as grab and go foods. It has been my ultimate frustration in life trying to grab a quick bite from a grocery store (or anywhere really) only to find a sad peanut butter and jelly sandwich or an overpriced veggie sandwich as my options if I'm lucky. Seriously friends, have you seen the veggie sandwich offered at Whole Foods? It's $6.99 for a few thin slices of cucumber, tomato, lettuce and some sort of spread of on floppy wheat bread. Don't even get me started on their big salads. $16.99 for a big bowl of lettuce with a few sad toppings. In a world full of revolutionary plant based products, I feel like the grab and go crowd should have a few more options. Even Costco brings the disappointment as their grab and go prepped foods are almost entirely meat and dairy based. Sure, Costco had a quinoa salad for a while, but that's not a very exciting entree for a plant based person now is it? I will say, They do have a Mediterranean salad that's pretty decent though in size and price. Though I wish stores would figure out we can't live on salad alone. I would really love to see more ready to eat meals that aren't just over priced frozen entrees. Many of us spend all day running from responsibility to responsibility, it'd be nice to have some satisfying, nutritionally dense, options.

What frustrates you when trying to find grab and go foods for your busy plant based life? Are you dreading the holidays because your dietary choices aren't always respected or accommodated? Or maybe you just need some inspiration on what to make this year. Let's explore our options this season.

I feel like the bakers with the best energy should stay in the tent even after they are eliminated just to cheer everyone on and to remind everyone to remove the pressure off their shoulders and relax a bit.

At the end of the day, it is just cake and pies and one competition for an engraved cake stand. They bake because they love it. The people they share their baking with know that. That's all that matters.

Also whenever Paul and Prue spout some nonsense that has a baker questioning their entire existence, these baker-cheerleaders can drown the judges out with their warm support and encouragement.

Noel and Allison are great but they have not elbow deep in dough in the tent. Baker-cheerleaders have. They know exactly what the struggling baker is going through and can get through to the baker and lift them out of that slump.

Because if everyone is close enough to form a WhatsApp group, I'm sure that being able to see those friendly faces right after Paul and Prue have spend five minutes scowling at your creations is a boost in spirit for sure.

#gbbo #gbbo 2023 #keep the best energy bakers around #the ones that just radiate good vibes #and cozy supportiveness #let them stay to encourage the rest of the bakers #baker-cheerleaders #they can get through to the bakers and speak relevant words of support #also to help the bakers take the pressure off of themselves and relax a little bit #because they are competing for an engraved cake stand #they should know that they are good bakers already #they bake because they love it #and everyone they share their bakes with should be able to see it #they shouldn't feel like they need to prove their skills to anyone #help gently guide the bakers out of the slump that paul and prue put them in #this competition should not destroy your mental health #by the end everyone becomes a family #family supports family #keep them physically there!#also have them give out food and drink to the bakers to remind them to HYDRATE

so so sick of being yelled at for being depressed

#my sister offered to let me move in with her and her spouse and my mom insisted i stay here til the end of the year #because shes worried about my mental health #but she keeps freaking out whenever i have Symptoms #like yeah i dont have any energy so sometimes it takes an extra day or two to get chores done #ive made it clear that im trying my best but it never meets her standards so it doesnt matter #and she wont even fucking let me leave #i told her months ago i wouldnt be able to contribute to groceries much longer because i havent worked in six months and have no money #and she was super understanding at the time but as soon as i make any food requests when someone goes shopping she gets pissed at me #says im asking for too much when im keeping it to the bare minimum #and when my sister heard about this she offered to send me some grocery money and my mom got pissed about that too #i woke up to a huge paragraph of text lecturing me and she called it a 'roommate intervention' like she hasnt been very clear that #she doesnt consider us roommates #and she refuses to actually talk about it she just sends me messages freaking out about how im not good enough #and then she says if i respond shell freak out so shes refusing to have an actual discussion #like if shes so fucking sick of me being here she should just let me move jfc #i havent been able to eat at the table for years because its covered in a bunch of her shit but if i ask her to do something about that #shed just freak out #like how dare my living here inconvenience her in any way but also what i want doesnt matter at all #i dont have any of my stuff in the living room or dining room and i only have some stuff for coffee in the kitchen #and even then she moves that shit without checking with me beforehand #im doing everything i can to reduce my impact here and its still not fucking good enough #god im just so sick of living here #brb gotta go do a million chores while i have a migraine because otherwise there will be 'consequences'#like im a fucking child #and not a full grown adult whos dealing with serious mental health shit but still trying their best #god i want to cry rn im just so sick of this

I will feel so tired that it's like my atoms are coming undone and I'm being made unreal...and then I will have a little chocolate treat and for 15 minutes I am whole and present again. Then the horrors

#ramblings of a lunatic #i remember feeling like this at the peak of my burnout and fatigue before #(also the same burnout and fatigue that took my interests and creativity and ground them into dust)#so I've concluded that i will just try and make it through the next two days as best i can (I GET FANCY RESTAURANT FOOD ON WEDNESDAY)#and then I'll just try to let my mental and physical health recuperate while finding excuses to hang w/ friends #cause that'll stave off thr madness of isolation #i wanna watch my shows and movies too and I'll finally be able to w/o guilt after the last exam :cries:#anyway. if you've noticed an uptick in me just sayin shit recently (in a way that may or may not be cause for concern)#it's bc I'm so close to getting out of the mines that having to wait any longer is driving me clinically insane #i wanna downplay the problem bc it's truly not that big a deal in some ways #but then i remembered that this is a) the longest I've gone w/o seeing my pals in like. nearly a month #and I've been at home doing the same stuff everyday for nearly a month too #and also IT'S THE FINAL EXAM I'M EVER GONNA DO BEFORE COLLEGE. IT'S A BIG DEAL MAN #so actually. yes I'm a bit of a drama queen but my slice of life problems have a place for mediation and bemoaning #but it's fine. bc we're gonna kill it #I'm gonna do sooooooo good on this test (<- manifesting)#it's. a little high pressure bc the last time i did a test for this subject (that I'm generally very good at) i majorly beefed it #but I've learned since then and I'm hoping. praying. also working hard but mostly hoping and praying #anyway. I gotta sleep soon bc i got so little sleep last night bc of the heat that i almost started crying at breakfast #LET'S GO LESBIANS (the lesbians are me. it's just me talking into a hall of mirrors)

I will always be the second best.

I will always be the second chair in a symphony.

I will always be second place in a competition.

I will always be good, but not good enough.

I will always be smart enough for advanced classes, but never be top of the class.

I will always be talented, but never talented enough to avoid being overlooked.

I will always be the runner up for a research opportunity, of course it was given to someone else, I’ll always be the second choice.

I will always be fighting for a promotion, but of course there’s a harder worker than me, I’ll always be the second choice.

I will always be tired, always be studying, always be working, but I will always never be tired enough, studying enough, working enough.

I will always have hopes and dreams, but I’ll be lucky if someone else’s don’t get fulfilled first.

I’ll always be good, but never good enough.

I’ll always be the second best.

#second #honestly though I understand #depression #anxiety #mental health #thoughts #headspace #food for thought #tw #second best #vent #just tired of everything #just tired of this

my cat died today and i'm devastated. i've had her since i was seven, and i just... i can't i don't know what to do and everything is reminding me of her but the thought of not thinking of her kills me

#op #please don't take offense if i don't respond whether here or in dms or whatever #it's been ten and half hours without her...#she was my best friend #i kinda joked but not really that she was vital to my mental health #she's everywhere in the house but if i leave she'll still be all i can think of because when i would come back home the first thing i'd do #was look for her #and the past tense #is terrible #we'd call the house and leave a message on the answering machine when we'd go on vacation just so she'd hear us...#i'm never going to hear her run up the stairs again #she's never going to meow at us for being too slow getting her food #she's never going to sit in front of her food dish expextantly #we're never going to put a dumb hat on her again #she's never going to open my bathroom door again #she's never going to step on my keyboard and open up obscure programs #never going to lay down on the cord for my mouse while i try to play games #oh gosh my pencil with her bitemarks in it where is it #she's never gonna go under my bed like a doof and act like she's stuck #she's never going to wait for us to look at her and then knock a remote off the table because she's mad #never going to cause a fuss until i sit down #she was the sweetest cat ever

Had a huge realization yesterday

I finally found my reason and wanting of getting better

It’s really hard to break away from this shitty ass addiction but yesterday was a huge moment I had finally realized that this is going to kill me

I ate an extremely small breakfast and still I was on the verge of fainting, if i continue the toxic cycle of still continuing my ED and pretending I’m trying to move past this I’ll never move on or recover

I wont be able to work out and get the body I had originally planned to gain in a healthy way. I love to work out but I let it consume me. I’ve found that if I continue to live this way there won’t be any fat to redistribute or shape if there is nothing there at all

It is my assumption that if I continue this my HRT won’t work on me. As previously stated how will my body change if there is nothing TO change. Something I was fighting so hard to grab IM letting fly away from me. I’ll never be the man I am meant to be if I am DEAD. I’ll never look in the mirror and see a square frame if I let it turn into bones. I’ll never feel my flat chest after top surgery for the first time if I am DEAD. I’ll never start a family if I am DEAD and I especially would never EVER want to spread my toxic hateful addiction onto my children.

I deserve to eat and be happy. I deserve to be the man I’m meant to be. I deserve to love myself again. I deserve to smile again

stuck in a "i should only be eating things that are good for me/ eating foods that are not the best health wise is far better than not eating nothing at all" cycle

#i know that the best scenario is to find a balance between those two #and i also know that there aren't 'good' and 'bad' foods okay?#but lately if i have to eat sth '''healthy''' (lets say green peas) ill just postpone it for a few hours #and if i eat sth '''''"less healthy''''''' (lets say a pie) i feel guilty which i am aware is very stupid #i think its bc of a combination of my mental health not being at it's finest and uni ruining me in more ways than it should #i feel like i should tag this?#tw eating issues #? i guess?#if you think i should tag this as sth else lmk #jo says stuff #personal ramblings

It's odd... I guess because it's not what I expected.

While healing, the toxic qualities of myself don't dissipate - it's more like I'm mediating them.

For example: Having a favorite person has the potential to become very toxic because that means that one individual is my favorite person in the whole world. This individual has the ability to make me the happiest or the saddest - they have more control over my emotional and mental state than I do, and that's a gigantic problem.

I haven't figured out how to not have a favorite person, nor have I figured out how to not be obsessive. So the solution I found was to obsess over each of my loved ones.

I obsess over myself, my family and my wonderful friends. I'm currently in love with a few of my friends and I hold bountiful love for the rest 💕 I give myself permission to be platonically in love with my friends, to love my family and most importantly, to be in love with myself. I give myself permission to fall in love with myself as many times as my lifetime will allow.

Healing from borderline personality disorder and living with manic depressive disorder can be really chaotic, scary and unpredictable but, it doesn't have to be miserable nor does it have to be lonely. Healing, evolving, and growing can be a beautiful metamorphosis.

I give myself permission to love and to be loved in all of the capacities that love exists 🫶🏿

I am worthy of happy, healthy, and diverse love🥰

i've been going through a rough patch in life* these past handful of months and i must say this writing thing has helped immensely and i never would've thought other people would like the things that i created

#i started writing bc i have very specific tastes and i just couldn't find exactly what i was looking for #and i started sharing it just for the heck of it #and now there's some of you out there also enjoying my silly little projects and it's a bit heartwarming honestly #guess i'm a bit sappy today #🌙#*it's all mental health related. i am both going through the best and the hardest time in my life #the best because i've been living in a place where i don't have to worry about my safety constantly #where i can get food and fulfil my basic needs #but oddly enough that in itself made it so i could finally look inside #and oh boy if it ain't a bit messed up in there #ngl i think i might just be going through autistic burnout #and it's hard to find help for that specifically #but anyway i'm rambling #i'm just glad i can once again find solace in fandom spaces
