Raise Awareness

Eating disorders are not a trend or to get attention.

Eating disorders are actual diseases that are very serious and need medical and psychological attention.

this is a forever reblog.

You know whats annoying? When people look at you funny for choosing to be healthy. When you go to Subway and get whole wheat bread with no sauce, no cheese, no meat, and just veggies people give you weird looks. When you go to school and order the healthiest thing on the menu and you can see your classmates eyeing you. When you decide to workout every morning before class and get annoyed looks or when everyone around you is enjoying pizza, pop, and wings and you decide to enjoy your water, whole wheat toast, and baked chicken and everyone somehow comes up with this whild idea that youre anorexic.. or when people tease you for choosing to be vegan or a vegetarian. or when youre at a party and decide not to chug beer and get wasted so you drink nice clean water and people just think youre an annoying party pooper. Im sorry, since when was being healthy a crime? i dont look at you funny for buying 1000 calorie meal at mcdonalds. I dont judge you for wanting to sit on your ass and eat a liter of ice cream. I dont get annoyed when you go to buffets every weekend. so.. here goes to all the people out there who have to put up with weird looks for making healthier choices.

Have you heard of the song It's Amazing by Jem?.... The lyrics reminded me of this blog :3

motivationintohabit Said:

No I hadn’t, and I JUST listened to it.

Thank yous!! it warms my heart that this song made you think of me! I’m all happy and shiet! :P

For any curious critters out there HERE is the song.

High school, it seems, has changed. It has become competitive. Young men and women — 13 to 18 years old — must work more or less tirelessly to ensure their spot at a college deemed worthy to them and their families. So rather than living their adolescent lives — lives brimming with desires and vitality, with vim, vigor, and brewing lust — these kids are working at old age homes, cramming for tests, popping Adderall just to make the literal and proverbial grade. And for what? So they can go to a school that puts them in debt for the rest of their lives. School has become a great vehicle of capitalism: it quashes the revolution implicit in adolescence while simultaneously fomenting perpetual indebtedness.

Hi guys! I wanted to inform you about this great thing that is happening!

These smart fellows have devised a way to create cups, straws, mixers, etc that can detect common date rape drugs. This is an amazing idea and it needs funding! The campaign ends in 35 hours and they are a little short on funding. Please, signal boost this or even give a dollar if you can, it’s a great cause and something that will really change the world!

Why you can't eat 1200 calories, and burn 600. →

healthyactivehappy:

under400:

selfinspiration:

I thought this was well-covered in the fitblr community, but since I keep seeing posts about this, and I’ve seen people give advice that makes that seem okay, I’m going to try to explain why it’s not. I’ve made this mistake before. I wish people would do a bit more research about what they are doing to their body before they do it, I know I should have.

Why can’t you? Because it is not safe. You need your NET calories to be at least 1200. Net calories are the calories your body actually uses. So, say you eat 1200 and burn 600, you need to eat 600 more to compensate. If your net calories is regularly under 1200, your body will go into starvation mode.

What is starvation mode? Starvation mode is what happens when your body is not getting the minimum amount of calories (1200 is the general rule). Your body will eventually stop dealing with food the way it should. This won’t happen in one day, or even two. But if you make eating less food a habit, you can bet on it. Your body will start to try to protect itself by slowing your metabolism progressively. Also- instead of losing fat, your body will try to store any fat you may take in. Any weight loss you lose on a diet like this will be muscle loss, NOT fat loss. And if you aren’t aware, the more muscle you have- the more efficient your body is at burning fat.

So, if you want to feel sluggish, lose muscle, get weak, store fat, and be over-all unhealthy: keep up what you’re doing.

____________________________________________________

If you want to lose weight HEALTHILY and effectively, boost your metabolism, and feel better overall: EAT, and eat enough. I know a lot of people have this fear of food that they think intake = fat gain, but that mindset really needs to change.

Think about it like this:

If you fill up your gas tank half-way for a trip that requires a full tank, what would happen?

Your car would use all the fuel, run on empty for a little while, then break down.

Hi so I found out my body burns around 1700 calories a day so I needed a deficit of 500 & ate 1200 calories a day. I lost 8 pounds in a few weeks but now it's been about 3 weeks & I've lost 0 pounds. My body still burns around 1700 calories daily & I'm still eating 1200 calories so I don't know what's going on?

motivationintohabit Said:

Oh honey, it’s because you’re not eating enough! You lost 8lbs in the beginning because cutting calories like that makes you lose water weight, then your body hold on to everything after that. You can’t workout and eat only 1200 calories. Your body just doesn’t work like that. You need a TOTAL deficit of 500, not calorie deficit. I personally burn AT LEAST 500 calories per workout, and therefore I don’t cut ANY calories from my diet. If you burn 300 then only cut 200. HERE is an article that explains why eating only 1200 calories isn’t enough while working out and may actually in fact be unhealthy for you. I’ll reblog it too since it seems to be a favorite of a lot of people :P Even if that burn of 1700 counts in your exercise, it’s best to eat more and exercise more than cut a bunch of calories. <3

All you do is take one day at a time yea your going to mess up and eat a snickers or have a bowl of ice cream or have a big mac…we are human as long as you stick to it and NEVER give up you can never fail.

-Start weight; 310

-Start fat percentage; approx. 42%

-Current weight; 210

-Current fat percentage; approx. 17.9% (+/-)

-Height; 6’ 0”

-Start pant size; 50

-Current waist size; Between 34-36

-Amount of time to lose weight; Who cares how long it has takes, you will get there just stay motivated

-My strategy; Attempting to eat right, 85% percent of my workout has been from Strength training and 15% is from running so often. With strength training its a mental challenge cause you see big changes in the size of your body but the numbers on the scale drop very slowly and at times even climb, due to muscle mass!

Don’t give up guys you can pull through it!!

Originally from The Greatist

Sometimes I find myself cheating out my workout when it comes to the end, so when I saw this article, I knew I had to share it with you! So check out this list of 23 Ways To Push Through A Tough Workout:

1. Who’s really getting cheated?

Sure, no one else would know about skipping out on the last Chatarunga. But only one person loses in that situation (hint: it’s not the super-ripped chick sweating it out on the next mat).

2. Change pace.

Circuit training, a killer combination of cardio and strength training, can help break the monotony of a long workout. Run five minutes, then drop and do some push-ups. Wash, rinse, repeat.

3. Picture this.

Visualize cheering fans or crossing the finish line to bang out one more set or lap. Or just go mental: Imagine this workout is the equivalent of the Olympic trials (no big deal).

4. Grab a pal.

Work out with a fit pal who will hold you to a higher standard. Stuck going solo today? Imagine they’re still there. After all, who wants to wuss out in front of an audience?

5. Break it down.

Set mini-goals when the going gets tough. This isn’t a three-mile run— just six measly half-mile runs.

6. Savor the pain.

“Pain is weakness leaving the body,” the saying goes. Pain is also proof that this workout is tough. Clearly you’re doing something right, so why stop now? (Just know when pain is signaling something more serious.)

7. Compete.

Whether comparing against the dude on the next treadmill over or your own time last training session, competition ups the ante and helps us forget about wanting to quit.

8. Remember the end.

That post-workout high? Yeah, almost there. The struggle of that final set won’t last— and when the workout’s over, it’ll be replaced by a much better feeling: pride.
