To the little or young headmates who were traumatized or who hold on to trauma memories:
β¨ We know you went through so much, and itβs not fair that you were hurt by others around you or people who were supposed to take care of you. Itβs okay to be upset about what happened. Itβs okay to cry, or to feel sad, lost, angry, lonely, or scared. These feelings are natural and youβre not bad or wrong for feeling them! β¨
π§Έ If you canβt talk about what happened to you or share your memories with anyone else, be it a therapist, loved one, or another headmate, thatβs okay. You should never ever feel pressured to do things you donβt want to do, and that includes opening up about the memories you hold on to! Youβre allowed to take your time, breathe, and process things at your own pace. π§Έ
π If you do want to talk about your painful memories, we hope you can find a safe space to do so with a person you trust and are comfortable with. You deserve to have agency in your own healing journey, and that means getting to make decisions about when and how to talk about your trauma! π
πΆ We hope that you can find comfort and happiness in your lives, even if itβs only sometimes! Itβs easy for kids who were hurt a lot or traumatized to feel like they never got the chance to have a childhood. We want to let you know that itβs never too late to enjoy being a kid! We hope your future is filled with toys, plushies, stickers, coloring books, fun games, pillow forts, tasty snacks, and playing pretend! πΆ
π Please remember that you are so loved, cherished, and valued by those around you. And remember that the pain you experienced and have to hold onto is not your fault in any way! We promise, you are not to blame for the way others treated you, even if sometimes it feels that way. π
π We hope you can keep your chin up, distract yourself with something fun if you need to, and find comfort in your loved ones. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this (or listen if an older headmate is helping you). Know that we care about you, weβre rooting for you, and weβre wishing you the very best in all that you do! π
Current Weight:Β 69,3 kg / 153 lbs (- 3 kg / 6 lbs since the beginning)
Altough I finished the program two weeks ago, I still want to share my results!
βοΈ : I lost 3 kg / 6 lbs in the span of 2 and a half months. And I think that's the slowest and most sustainable weightless I've ever experienced. Grateful that I showed myself that I could be consistent in working out or rather moving my body for 75 days in a row ππ»
π° : The 3 liters of water didn't bother me at the beginning at all. Through the 75 days I had a lot of days where I would drink the 3 liters and be fine, others I would really struggle with drinking that much water (especially when I only went for a walk as my workout). So I don't think 3 liters is the perfect amount of water for me, it just varies depending on the day I had. I loved that I've been drinking way less sugary drinks in that time, because my primary goal was always to finish up my water intake first. So that's definitely a good thought to keep in mind going forward! π§
ππ»ββοΈΒ : I've stuck to my 3 main ways of moving my body: elliptical/crosstrainer, walking and a (light) full body workout via Ringfit Adventure on the switch. And I realized that I was able to stay consistent because I enjoyed all of those 3 activities! It didn't take a lot of convincing myself mentally each day to do those things - and that made it so much easier for me. Another thing that I learned in this journey πͺπ» Side note: It's also a really rewarding feeling when I could up the level on the elliptical/crosstrainer or my workout game, because it showed me that there is progress that I didn't necessarily recognize each day!
πΒ : The healthy diet was the hardest part for me. Especially the snacking. I feel like I have a good roster of pretty healthy recipes (considering what I ate the years before) for my main meals. The snacking is where still have no control I feel like. So the days it felt the easiest for me were the days that I knew we didn't have anything "bad" in the house, and instead had fruits or other healthier alternatives. I'm super grad I didn't decide to count calories (like I did in the past), because I get so fixated on that. It just takes so much effort every day and therefore isn't sustainable to me. So even though my weightloss has been slow, I'm happy I was able to do it without counting calories. Overall my diet is still a big area for me where I can work on and improve, there's always new healthy recipes to find and try out π₯
πΒ : Love love loved the reading 10 minutes every day. I will keep that habit and I am actively looking for new books to read, and I want to grow my phsysical book collection! This challenge reminded my why I loved reading so much as a child... And I'm very happy to have found that love again π
Conclusion: I loved this challenge. I showed myself that I can do hard things. And I taught me that I don't have to be extreme to reach my goals. It really is the little habits that change out daily life, it's the consistency in doing what you said you were going to do. Can't recommend this challenge enough honestly. I'm going to share my New Years Resolutions in another post, so keep an eye out for that β¨

How to Craft a Balanced & Nutritious Diet Plan π₯¦π
π Title: "Fueling Your Body Right: Creating a Balanced Diet Plan"
Hey Twitter fam! Let's talk about something super important β creating a balanced and nutritious diet plan. π₯πͺ We all want to stay healthy and energized, right? Here's how to do it without any fuss. π
1/ First things first, what's a balanced diet? π€ It's all about eating a variety of foods that give your body the right mix of nutrients. That means a combo of:
2/ Fill your plate with colors! ππ½οΈ Each color usually represents different nutrients. Like orange veggies (carrots, sweet potatoes) give you Vitamin A for sharp eyes. Leafy greens provide iron for energy. Mix it up for a nutrient-packed meal! π₯¬π₯
3/ Portion control matters! βοΈ Even if it's healthy, too much of a good thing isn't great. Use your hand as a guide: protein (palm), grains (fist), fats (thumb), veggies (lots!). Balance is key. π½οΈπ
4/ Stay hydrated! π§ Water is essential for digestion and overall health. Plus, it's calorie-free! Drink up, aim for around 8 glasses a day. π°π
5/ Say no to crash diets! π ββοΈ Extreme diets aren't sustainable. Instead, focus on long-term habits. Small, gradual changes lead to big results. π
6/ Plan your meals ahead! π Planning helps you make healthier choices and avoid grabbing unhealthy snacks on the go. π₯ͺπ₯
7/ Treat yourself β in moderation! π«π° It's okay to enjoy your favorite treats once in a while. Remember, balance is about overall choices, not perfection.
8/ Listen to your body! π§ββοΈ Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues. Eat when hungry, stop when satisfied. Your body knows best.
9/ Get expert advice! π If you're unsure, a registered dietitian can help you create a personalized plan that suits your needs and goals.
10/ Remember, it's a journey! π Creating a balanced and nutritious diet takes time. Be patient with yourself and celebrate every small win. You've got this! πͺπ
So, there you have it! A guide to crafting your very own balanced and nutritious diet plan. Your body will thank you for fueling it right. Have questions? Drop them below! ππ€
