So I’m back. Some of you may know me - for those that don’t, hello! For those that do, hello again!

I need to start blogging again for my head. I’m all over the place. I don’t even know where to start with this except: I’m not okay. I have an addictive personality and it has gotten out of control recently. I used to have a fitness blog on here and I thrived, maybe a little bit too much. I’m an all or nothing type person. I’m either restricting my food or binging, training for a marathon or completely sedentary etc. I’m also very much a “once you pop you can’t stop” when it comes to alcohol - something I very much need to get control of. 

I did start going therapy to deal with my eating disorder but it felt like she was more worried about me losing weight than helping me cope with my emotional issues. I’m going to start seeing a therapist again soon, except this time it will be to deal with everything - not just food. 

I have meal prepped my food for this week and I’m going to cancel my Friday night plans to drink - I’m thinking of lying and saying I’m on antibiotics.. Also going to attempt to restart the couch to 5k program.  I’m also going to focus on writing down my thoughts - I honestly think it will help. 

Family progress picture.

-There isn’t a single country in the Middle-East that has the word “stan” in it. Not a single one.

-And yes, that includes Pakistan & Afghanistan.

Yes you heard me correctly, both of Pakistan & Afghanistan are not in the Middle-East, but instead they’re in South & Central Asia.

-Muslims don’t wear turbans, at all.

-Arabs/Middle-Eastern people also don’t wear turbans either, at all (In some Arabic countries there ARE types of traditional headwraps and they’re called “Emamah”, however they’re not called turbans and you can easily tell the difference between them if you bother learning).

-The only Religion/Culture whose people do wear turbans are called Sikhs, follower of Sikhism religion. And no, Sikhs are not from the Middle-East either, but are primely from India.

-There are over three muslim countries in Europe. And no, the muslims there aren’t immigrants but are in fact native white Europeans who are also Muslims (Yes white European muslims exist, since you know, Islam is a universal religion not an ethnicity or a race)

-There’s over 50 Muslim countries in this world and aside from Iran there isn’t a single muslim country in this globe that forces women to wear Hijab (Headscarf) By law. 49 out of 50 muslim countries don’t have laws forcing women to wear Hijab or face veils.

A Muslim woman wearing a Burqa is an extremely rare thing that can hardly be found in any Muslim countries, so if you see a Muslim woman covering her face with a type of cloth then that piece of cloth is most likely a Niqab NOT a Burqa (Seriously, don’t bother saying Burqa cuz 99.9% of the time, the thing you want to describe is probably not a Burqa)

-Only 23% of the world’s Muslims population are from Arab/Middle-Eastern countries. Yes, there are more non-Middle-Eastern/Arab Muslims than there are Middle-Eastern/Arab Muslims.

-Prophet Muhammad’s wife Aisha wasn’t 7 when she married him, but was actually 19 at the time of the wedding (And this have been debunked for centuries now, yet it’s still used by Islamophobics till this day).
