All of these plus size women are athletes!!!

Remember about physical self-care as well, which greatly affects our mental health…

- Stay hydrated! Get a glass of water right now if you need to

- Have you eaten yet today? Make yourself a healthy snack. If you don’t have supplies for a meal and can’t leave the house for health reasons, consider getting take out. It’s not lazy or greedy.

- Apply lip balm/chap stick at regular intervals

- When was the last time you showered/cleaned? If you do not have the energy for a full shower, consider buying some dry shampoo and having a ‘sink’ shower using a sponge or wet wipes

- Similar to the last point, evaluate the cleanliness of your clothing and bedding. If you’ve been wearing the same outfit over and over again the last few days, it may be worth changing. Similarly, avoid issues like bed bugs and bacteria by changing you bed sheets.

- Consider adding supplements to your diet. (Disclaimer: I’m no doctor, but I take omega 3 and folate tablets as well as multi-vitamins to help boost my physical and mental health. Check with your doctor before adding these to your diet, especially if you are on other medication)

- Have you taken any required medication today? Consider getting a pill tray/dispenser/tracker to help your schedule and to make sure you don’t forget

- Feeling too oily? try just giving your face a quick wash. Feeling too dry? take time to moisturise

- Do a full body check. it is easy to wanna just lay in bed and forget all other problems, but be sure to take the time to check for lumps, bumps and grumps. Make a list of any physical symptoms and talk to your doctor. This also applies to any potential side effects or symptoms of your current medication.

- If you are physically able to, give your legs/body a stretch. This could be you just walk around your room or go for a jog outside. Maybe even just remember to adjust your posture when sitting. It’s important to get your joints moving if you can to prevent issues like decreased flexibility and cramp

- Similar to the last point, try to exercise. Exercise is proven to help with mental and physical health; don’t just do it for weight related pressures. Find a workout/type of exercise you can bare. I personally suggest yoga (with the help from youtube instructors).

you don’t have to lose weight in order to look more masculine. your curves are beautiful and very manly.

your binder does get you flat enough. i know you probably hear this a lot but don’t ever wear two of them! it can really damage your body.

not wanting to go through any surgical procedures doesn’t make you any less trans.

your body is a boy’s body. no matter what it looks like.

you’re not trying to be a boy. you don’t want to be a boy. you are a boy!

A self care post for Sunday so you’re glowing Monday. This will help whether you’re in highschool or not. Just try it, yeah? I do advise that you test products etc before this if you’re not sure how your skin/body will react. Leggo-

Wake up and make some green tea (with lemon!). Drink this and your entire day will be so much better. I drink it every day.

Eat a good breakfast. Eggs, bacon, or a salad if you’re vegan!

Stretch for 15 minutes

Wash your face and add moisturizer (I use biore charcoal cleanser)

Start cleaning your room. Do a load of clothes. It’s optional but you can wash your sheets and blankets for a real fresh start. Then organize your clothes, dresser, school supplies, makeup etc and vacuum. I recommend using scented beads or something with it!

Light candles while you’re doing the rest of the housework. I recommend the brown pecan melts tbh. They smell fucking amazing.

Drink a glass of cool water and get another bottle out.

Do a 15-30 minute workout

Apply a hair mask and eat

Put on a face mask

Take a bubble bath or relaxing shower and use a scrub & shave

Moisturize your body after

Dilute teatree oil in water and spritz your face with it, then apply your moisturizers or skin care

Do school work, finance, etc that needs to get done.

Paint your nails and pick an outfit for tomorrow

Go to sleep early (if this is a problem I highly recommend drift off ((check Amazon)) because it will fucking save you)

Make sure you drink 5 bottles of water and eat something filling for dinner!

That’s it! Monday morning you’ll wake up refreshed. Drink some of that green tea and water in the morning to feel real good all day!

It’s okay if you had a minor setback, or even a major one.

It’s okay if you’re frustrated because you’re not where you want to be yet.
