Blessed Imbolc in the Northern Hemisphere. 💐 What are you doing to celebrate?
And remember that it's entirely valid not to have the energy or time to celebrate. 💖
I think i pulled a hamstring doing yoga this morning. fuck. I have to lose progress or push through adn hope it doesnt get worse.
The Gods don’t find you embarrassing. The Gods don’t care about seeming cool and professional for the approval of others.
Make that fucking aesthetic photo collage for Aphrodite with cute pics you found on Pinterest .
Dress up like Hermes and go for a damn walk.
Collect random stones you think are cool and put them on your altar.
Put that photo of that cartoon character that reminds you of your deity on your altar.
Make that Minecraft temple to Hekate, domesticate those damn Minecraft wolves for Cerberus.
Make your deities in the sims!
Write soppy melodramatic poetry for Dionysus that no one else will read.
Make self insert fanfics about your favourite Gods and write them all as your best friends. Let them interact with your edgy ocs.
Create an AU where you and your Gods are all characters from your favourite anime.
Record silly little songs for them
Make them paintings that are full of clashing colors and weird forms.
Draw them a fursona
Wear that bright yellow outfit for Apollon.
Put on a dramatic makeup look for Aphrodite.
Call your closest deity that silly little nickname you have for them and let them call you one too.
Share your special interests with your Gods. Design your God as a pokémon or a crystal gem, or a sonic character.
Those losers that try to make you feel bad for being passionate will never have what you have.
In the words of the Great Lord Hermes: “Every human I have ever liked was at least a little bit cringe”
BE CRINGE. BE PROUD. THE GODS LOVE YOU.

February Magic Correspondences
⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠄⠄⠂⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁
February is a month of love, abundance and purification. As winter gradually gives way to the first hints of spring, it's the perfect moment to cleanse the past and open the heart to new possibilities. This month is deeply connected to Februus, the Roman god of purification, who help us to release what no longer serves us. His influence encourages rituals and practices that help clear away negativity and create space for fresh intentions. This month brings an energetic focus on passion, fertility, and harmony. It’s a time to honor the primal forces of love and joy, whether in romantic relationships or in the bonds we share with ourselves and others. February also honors Juno Februa, goddess of love and sacred unions, and Faunus, god of fertility and nature. In this month of both purification and passion, it’s an ideal time to work with love spells, self-care rituals, and practices that help purify your mind and spirit.

If you dont have anyone to split with (like me) you can ask for a to go box right away and put half your food in that. and if youre like me you wont eat the leftovers because youll forget theyre there.
Okokok since a bunch of you liked the last one, I'm gonna share more.
Because there's so much "oh it's not sustainable oh you'll d1e etc." But she's done it for years and she's my idol. So I'll dish about what she does.
I've never seen her do it. When we sit down, she does one of two things:
Asks someone (usually me or a friend her size) what they'd like to split with her. She eats a little less than whoever she shares with.
Orders a lighter, protein-centric appetizer—think unbreaded chicken wings, beef carpaccio, a caprese salad. She eats maybe 2/3 of it and then offers a bite to everyone else.
She also never ever ever ever ever orders soda or milkshakes or any other "fun" drinks. If she drinks alcohol, it's a single beer or glass of wine.
And she may take a bite of a dessert for the table, making sure she enjoys it, but never ever has more than two bites.
Knowing about metabolism days this makes a lot of sense!
HEY, I NEED YOUR ATTENTION I HAVE A GREAT TIP!!!
Keep your body GUESSING!
What I mean is that you don't eat the same amount of calories every single day, your body will get used to it and the weight loss will get stuck and you have to decrease your calorie intake more and more.
What you could try, is to eat different amount of calories every day. It can vary from 200 to 1500 kcal. Trust me I just took a massive shit and my metabolism has never been better!
Thanks for listening, be safe!
Train your mind!
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.

🖤 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!!!
I got out this morning for the first time in a while for my walk and the trees are starting to put out leaf buds! Spring will be here soon and i cannot wait for the warm weather. Just need to keep losing so that I'm not embarrassed to be seen.
I was super active this weekend and stayed up way too late every night. im exhausted now and its so hard to make myself exercise. at least its warmer outside.
€Ds are so embarrassing because you mean I have nothing else going on in my life as important as having the lowest number possible on the scale.
Like damn bitch maybe get a life or something
5 Easy Yoga Poses For Beginner
I couldnt make myself do my morning walk becuase its so cold but im going out tonight with friends and should dance that many calories off. that counts right?
hunger sc4le
painfully hungry: hunger pains, dizzy, feeling ill
very hungry: could eat anything, might binge
mildly hungry: strong signs of hunger, a little dizzy
hungry: 1st signs, stomach growling
neutral: emtpy not hungry or full, content
comfortably satisfied: hunger has been satisfied
very satisfied: hunger has been satisfied a little too well, full
beyond satisfied: starting to feel sick but manageable
uncomfortably over stuffed: feelings of guilt, heavy feeling, a bit nauseous, food coma
extremely stuffed: could throw up, bloated, feels heavy, sluggish, can't look at food
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the hunger scale, knowing this can hep you read your body. I personally try to stay 3-6. This helps keep me with my from b1ng1ng/ overe4ting.
keepingn track of your feelings and emotions before and after you e4t is also helpful, so you can find patterns in your eating behaviors like:
(before) am i actually hungry?
(before) what is my hunger scale?
(before) am i sad?
(before) am i stressed?
(before) am i happy?
(before) am i angry?
(after) how much did i eat?
(after) what is my hunger scale now?
(after) how do i feell now?
