I mentioned this topic briefly in my last blog but I literally haven’t stopped thinking about it. I have heard so many people comment about Mondays. “My diet starts Monday.”“I have a new exercise routine, I’m beginning on Monday.”“I royally screwed up on Thursday so the week is a bust. I’ll try again on Monday.”…
Let’s Talk Calories
Ew, I know. There are huge controversies surrounding calorie counting and what makes up a “good calorie” and a “bad calorie”. There are people who have done the calorie counting thing and become obsessed, there are some who have developed actual eating disorders from it. I want to preface this entire article with a trigger…
Falling Hurts
This blog post serves as a confessional. I fell hard last week. I doubt people follow this blog enough to notice that I didn’t post a blog last week. I told myself that it was because I moved so I had to pack, move, unpack, organize, clean and settle in. Maybe that’s partly the truth,…
Getting Them Gainz
I felt like a loser just writing that title, but TikTok has ruined me and now I say stuff like that. In case you haven’t deduced the premise of this blog post from the title, we’re talking about workouts. I figured that today would be a good day to talk about exercise because I’m mourning…

#community
I sat down at the computer to write, intent on destroying diet culture through my mighty keyboard. I opened the blog page and stared at the blank screen, for twenty minutes. Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot to say when it comes to diet culture, but I don’t think today is the day…
Real Talk | Eating Disorder
I know the title of this blog can be triggering. I’m begging you not to cancel me quite yet. Only recently I’ve learnt that there are many types of eating disorders and that there is a general silence surrounding this topic. Mental illness is a whole ball of worms that I won’t tackle in this…
Non-Scale Victories | Sustenance
In the last post, I talked about scale anxiety and why I weigh myself every day. Now, I’m going to tell you why the scale sucks and why you need to be mindful of your body. If you missed the last one and the reasons why your weight might not be reflected accurately on the…
Scale Anxiety
People in the fitness and weight loss community have a lot of opinions when it comes to the scale. I want to be clear before I even start talking about this that what I do is not the only option, just because it works for me doesn’t mean it will work for you. I mentioned…
