Too hot. I am going to listen to ONSIND on the bus and then eat a KFC and then go and drink lots of whiskey later. Yes.

rambunctiously: letitbebroke: Urges fulfilled- vegan chicken legs from little T’s. Today proved that the above is possibly the best thing to have when you are hungover. I really shouldn’t browse old posts, because now these will be on my mind all day.  Great.

rambunctiously: My baby cousin is the best! Looking through old tumblr posts, trying to fight off bad self-esteemy thoughts about when I was thinner… found this and it’s cheered me right up.  It’s funny to think at when this photo was taken she just looked adorable/slept all the time, whereas now she’s basically a demanding force of destruction (albeit still an adorable one).

So this Secret Eaters show on Channel 4.

This woman is going on about how people massively underestimate the calories that are in things, and how that could be the reason this brother and sister have put weight on and aren’t able to shift it. And the sister says:

“I just want to be thin, that’s it. I don’t care how I do it.”

And I’m pretty much screaming at my tv, no no NO. Maybe the problem isn’t overestimated calories but focusing on calories so much in the first place? Maybe we should be focusing on education, food groups and eating until we are just full. You can calorie count and still eat shit (I should know, I spent about 3 weeks eating 1500 calories a day and still ate all kinds of crap. A bacon sandwich is less calories than cereal and fruit with wholewheat toast, but it doesn’t mean it’s any better for you).

I am fed up of this kind of thing. I want to scream from the rooftops that thin does not equal healthy. On a personal level, I know I am not healthy, but I also know it is my own fault (and my own responsibility if I want to change that). We need to stop perpetuating this bullshit and start being honest with ourselves. The diet industry is a sham. Most people just don’t know how to listen to their bodies and accept their natural shapes/weights etc, because the diet industry and society gets in the way. It’s such a shame.

Fuck off Channel 4. I’ve had enough.

Edit: For some reason I am still watching this.  They just suggested weighing yourself every day.  NOOOO.  If I hear this woman say “calories” one more time I might break something.  I’m taking my wine and popcorn and going to bed.

Time should’ve finished work: 6
Time actually finished work: 6:35
Time got on a bus because they are shit: 7:05
Grouch levels: Through the roof. Big sigh.

(Also, my head hurts from where I fell down the stairs and smacked into some plastic on the bus this morning. You can laugh. I would’ve. Today is a write off, really.)

I am just

so content right now this moment.

I feel I should really make the most of this while I can.

Discovered (well, was told about) this app called Shoebox that allows you to “scan” your old photos onto your smartphone.  It automatically tilts them if necessary and allows you to crop them down to size.  It’s pretty cool, and means that I can share these gems with you all.

Here we have baby me surrounded by strawberries (fatty 4 life), me & Steph aged about 17 (I think?) and me in my youth (viva mosh).

Spend Sunday afternoon eating Kettle Chips and playing The Sims?

Don’t mind if I do.

Left the house this morning listening to Ash, wearing a denim skirt and a zip up hoodie. It would seem I have basically regressed to age 13.

Today I feel like I’ve been body-switched, what a lousy start to the (working) week. I just want to eat an enormous bowl of pasta and fall asleep. I think this is the best thing to do.
