Active October 2022

I’m at the executive management level for my very small company and I have 4 people who report directly to me. I am a nice boss. I’m friendly with my employees, I treat them like professional adults, I actively try to create a positive work environment, and I mentor them and make sure they’re advancing in their careers. I do my best to shield them from the rest of management doing stupid shit. My employees like working for me.

The other day one of my employees came to ask if she could change her hours on Mondays. I said yes immediately because it’s helpful for me to know when she’s here and when she’s not, but as long as she gets her work done I don’t care when and where she does it. She then proceeded to tell me that it was so she could attend therapy and like … I will never use this information but … as a general rule don’t fucking do that.

Do not tell your employer shit about your mental or physical health except for the bare minimum needed to request a reasonable accommodation. Even your nice boss can fire you, even your nice boss can unfairly change your working conditions, and even your nice boss at some point is probably going to face pressure from their superiors.

I lost my account recently and lost all my moots and friends, so I'm trying to find them again and also follow more folks. Used to be @tobetheprettygirl

Here's what I did:

I only ever ate dinner.

I did this because school was an excellent distraction, especially when parents are working. It allowed me to seem like I eat normally with slightly healthier tendencies to keep anyone off my trail. It's always good to have an eye witness to eating, so you can use them when accused.

Spit don’t swallow

As I have talked about recently, I used a method where I can chew the food and spit it into a cup whenever I was craving. I find this ESPECIALLY helpful when you look at the cup after and see how much you would have eaten.

“You still get calories”

You can look this up. But previously when I had a dietian, he told me I dont need to chew a lower calorie gum because those caloroes are used immediately as energy, its not going to contribute to weight loss. And that while a calorie deficit is helpful, it’s better you focus on caloric density.

Cold baths

A 15 minute cold shower burns 75 calories. So, I took 30 minute cold baths while watching supersize vs superskinny. Helped me a lot with bloat and I dropped 2 lbs after doing so even though I had nachos for dinner.

Weigh yourself EVERYDAY

Contrary to popular belief its a good habit. Throughout the week your hormones fluctuate and so does your water intake etc. So weighing yourself every morning (before water, after the bathroom). Helps you see that fluctuations and understand that maybe your “monday weigh in” is just on a high hormonal day.

Cardio ≠ Running, and you NEED to do it.

I did cardio every other day. This was a mixture of aerobic belly dancing workouts, to military workouts, to an intense yoga routine. You NEED to move your body and get that heart rate up, muscle training is good to help keep skin tight but to the lose the fat you gotta do cardio.

Coffee, Energy drinks and more OH MY!

In the beginning when I was training myself to do fluids all day till dinner I HEAVILY relied on coffee and energy drinks because they are an appetite suppressant.

What i’ll be doing moving forward

- daily vitamin

-weight loss pill NATURALE (ACV, Charcoal etc)

-green tea

-douple up on workouts

please don’t chew and spit!! when you put food in your mouth, the digestive process begins. your spit contains enzymes which starts to break down the food in your mouth, and stomach acid builds up in your stomach. if you spit out the food and don’t swallow, and do this long term, the stomach acid in your stomach can lead to painful conditions, for example, stomach ulcers and your stomach lining being eaten away so pleaseee don’t do that :(

the cold water drains energy from your body, so it can really slow down your metabolism and your organs may not temporarily function properly as your body would be too low on glucose and therefore energy.

try and limit how much caffeine you drink, and opt for something like peppermint tea or green tea instead.
