Finger Food Ideas For Christmas In Under 30 Minutes
“Food freedom” is a complex term, with definitions ranging from food culture and abandoning restrictive diets to achieving health and food security by growing your own food. It is positioned as an approach to treating eating disorders for some and as a way to promote intentional weight loss for others. But in the field of health and wellness, this is a new and revolutionary concept that challenges society's dietary norms and ideals of thinness. He is backed by passionate medical professionals and game creators like Shana Spence (@thenutritiontea). Spence is a registered dietitian who takes a healthy, non-diet approach to weight loss. She's using her platform to redefine what "healthy" means, moving away from the elusive standards of the diet industry. Dr. Kira Nymbe Diop (@black.nutritionist) is also a passionate and influential advocate for food freedom, advocating the essentials of body respect, guilt-free eating, and a healthy lifestyle. We created a space that focuses on reclaiming the tradition of food culture as a part.. Lifestyle. This article explores freedom from food, explains what intuitive and mindful eating are, and discusses the role, if any, they can play in the quest for intentional weight loss..

Here Are Some Fat Positive Activists, Educators, Therapists, and Artists to Know!
First and foremost, the pioneer of organized fat activism:
• Bill Fabrey (he/him)
Tumblr media
Bill Fabrey, a self-proclaimed fat admirer, founded NAAFA (the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance) in 1969 after gaining an understanding of the day-to-day oppression and discrimination faced by his wife, Joyce. Fabrey founded the organization in hopes to raise awareness of weight stigma, criticize biased studies, and increase overall acceptance and accessibility to fat Americans. He is considered one of the pioneers of the fat liberation movement, and is heavily involved to this day.
• Judy Freespirit, Sara Fishman, Lynn McAfee, Ariana Manow, & Gudrun Fonfa (she/her for each)
Tumblr media
(Members of The Fat Underground, 1979)
Fat, radical, feminist members of NAAFA! Their agenda was much more aggressive than NAAFA’s, and eventually they broke off and formed their own group called The Fat Underground, which acted as a catalyst in the creation and mobilization of the fat liberation movement. Based in LA in the 1970s, the Fat Underground did not fight to change discriminatory laws but rather discriminatory thoughts and practices in different aspects of society, which included those of doctors and other health professionals who perpetuated the unhealthy habits encouraged by diet culture. In 1973, Judy Freespirit and Alderbaran published the “Fat Liberation Manifesto” which establishes that fat people are entitled to what they were denied on a daily basis: “human respect and recognition.” The other objectives then outline the commercial exploitation of fat bodies by both corporations and scientific institutions. (x) I will go into more detail about the Fat Underground in my next post, “The History of Fat Activism!”
• Dr. Lindo Bacon (they/them), PhD
(no photo)
Creator of the concept of HAES (Health At Every Size).
Dr. Bacon is best known for their paradigm-shifting research and advocacy upending the weight discourse. They have mined their deep academic proficiency, wide-ranging clinical expertise and own personal experience to write two best-selling books, Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, and the co-authored Body Respect: What Conventional Health Books Get Wrong, Leave Out, or Just Plain Fail to Understand about Weight. Both are credited with transforming the weight discourse and inspiring a hopeful new course for the fat liberation movement. Dr. Bacon holds their PhD in physiology, as well as graduate degrees in psychology and exercise metabolism. Dr. Bacon formerly taught at City College of San Francisco, in the Health Education, Psychology, Women’s Studies, and Biology Departments. A professor and researcher, for almost two decades Dr. Bacon has taught courses in social justice, health, weight and nutrition; they have also conducted federally funded studies on health and weight and published in top scientific journals. Their research has been supported by grants from the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Institutes of Health. A truly great pioneer in medical health research!

An anonymous fat liberationist.

Their blog serves as an easily accessible resource for fat folx and fat activists who want to learn about fat positive science to support their own personal interests/activism.

What is IBS? FODMAP diet for IBS.
Shana Spence, RD, explains what IBS is and why low FODMAP diet may help people with IBS. You can learn more here: https://www.nourishdoc.com/Medical-Condition/Irritable-Bowel-Syndrome-IBS/Diet-Therapy
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disease that affects the large intestine. Signs and symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain, gas, bloating, and diarrhea or constipation, or both. IBS is a chronic condition that you will want to handle long term. IBS is typically known as being a 'functional' disorder. This means that any changes in the functioning of the digestive system can result in triggering the symptoms of IBS.
What you eat and how you eat is, therefore known to have a profound effect on the symptoms of IBS. As it is never possible to prevent all the IBS symptoms, you may find that following a healthy gut diet plan may prevent the symptoms from being triggered.
Following the FODMAP diet will prove to be beneficial for your symptoms. FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols (try to memorize that!). Several research studies have shown that high FODMAP foods do not get adequately absorbed by the small intestine. Furthermore, these foods increase the level of fluid in the bowel, creating more gas that causes pain, and diarrhoea.

Keto Breads, Bagels, and Bars Can They Assist Your Well being
Tumblr media
The ketogenic (keto) weight loss program is a well-liked ultra-low-carb weight loss program. In its most straightforward kind, following this weight loss program means you will need to all however eradicate each type of carbohydrate and eat fats as a replacement. The physique makes use of that fats for power, and when the provides run low, it then attracts out of your physique's fats shops for needed power. That results in weight reduction. The best ratio of macronutrients on the keto weight loss program is 75 % fats, 20 % protein, and 5 % (or simply 20 grams) of carbs. The emphasis for the carbs you do eat? Excessive-fiber plant choices like Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli. Bread? Bye-bye. Bagels? No probability. Muffins? You may must miss them. That was, till the recognition of the weight loss program -- and the abundance of keto-friendly elements like almond flour and no-sugar-added chocolate -- led to inventive keto eaters and cooks discovering methods to substitute their beloved carb-rich meals for variations that had fewer carbs and nonetheless match their keto targets. Certainly, right this moment, for those who seek for keto snacks, you will be hit with a barrage of listings for keto-friendly bars, breads, cookies, and extra. The market is flooded with them, and so they present few indicators of stopping. However in a weight loss program that is designed to eradicate most carbs and most types of sugar, is there room for synthetic substitutes that mimic the meals you maybe miss? Sure and no, say the consultants. Here is why.
Are keto "cheat" meals wholesome?
One of many largest hurdles of any weight loss program, and particularly the keto weight loss program, is a deprivation mentality. For those who imagine you possibly can't have one thing, you might end up craving it much more. Keto "cheat" meals, proponents argue, might enable you fulfill these longings whereas not blowing your carb finances. "Keto-friendly versions of our favorite foods can most certainly be a part of a balanced diet," mentioned Amanda Maucere, a registered dietitian and nutritionist (RDN) for the Lung Well being Institute. "These foods can also help people benefit from nutritional ketosis for a longer period of time without feeling deprived of the foods they are used to eating," she added. That looks like a win. However not so quick, says Maucere. It's a must to be attentive to what you are consuming, past simply the web carbs you are consuming. "That said, the quality of the ingredients used to make these foods does matter. Just like with non-keto food products, you'll want to look at the ingredients list to make sure the food you want to eat is made with real food ingredients," she mentioned. "If what you find in the ingredients list is a long list of chemicals and additives, steer clear." Anthony Gustin, DC, MS, the CEO and co-founder of Excellent Keto, additionally suggests these meals aren't inherently dangerous as a part of the keto weight loss program, however you might need to keep away from those which might be extremely processed. "Studies have shown that eating highly-processed foods increases your rates of obesity, cancer, food addiction, depression, chronic inflammation, poor digestion, asthma, and allergy symptoms," he mentioned. "Since a ketogenic diet -- when done properly -- can actually help alleviate many of these ailments, it's counterintuitive to eat products with ingredients that can have harmful effects on your health." Specifically, Gustin factors out, keto "cheat" meals rely closely on synthetic sweeteners. Most types of sugar are wealthy sources of carbs. Synthetic sweetener choices have just about no carbs, which makes them technically keto-friendly, however they do not at all times get the thumbs up from medical doctors and nutritionists. "One of the biggest offenders is artificial sweeteners, which, in addition to contributing to the problems I mentioned, may also raise your blood sugar levels and blood pressure, increasing anxiety and causing GI upset," Gustin mentioned. Gustin explains that even for those who keep in ketosis, you are not ingesting wholesome elements. "All you're doing is giving your body chemicals instead of nutrient-dense food, causing you to miss out on some of the bigger picture benefits the ketogenic diet can provide," he concludes.
Low-carbohydrate junk remains to be junk
When a keto curious eater first makes the choice to drop the carbs, the affect to their meals selections is fast: Reduce out sugar, starches, pasta, and grains. Restrict greens. Give attention to fats. What these limitations typically do, with the steering of keto consultants, is put individuals ready to examine the standard of the meals they're consuming to make sure they're getting probably the most bang for his or her chunk. "In my mind, one of the biggest advantages to a ketogenic diet is that it forces a person to become more intentional about their food choices and often leads to a greater understanding of food and their relationship to food," mentioned Robert Santos-Prowse, a scientific dietitian and writer of "The Ketogenic Mediterranean Diet" and "The Cyclical Ketogenic Diet." "I'm concerned that the availability of low-quality convenience foods that fit in a ketogenic diet will eliminate some of that benefit and leave people no better off than before they adopted a ketogenic diet. Low-carbohydrate junk is still junk," he mentioned. Maucere mentioned there are easy recipes for keto-friendly consolation meals with out chemical compounds that may fulfill an individual's carb craving. "A good example of a real food, keto-friendly swap would be 'keto biscuits' made with almond flour, butter, cheese, eggs, cream, salt, and pepper," she mentioned. For those who make the meals your self, you see the elements and you'll really feel sure they are not mysterious. Then, on the finish, you possibly can really feel even higher sneaking in what actually looks like a "cheat" meals.
Backside line
If the occasional keto bagel helps you keep away from noshing on an actual flour-filled bagel, which will definitely pull you out of ketosis, the profit could also be optimistic. If that is what you've got each day for breakfast -- as an alternative of, for instance, a sausage-and-egg hash or egg-stuffed bell pepper rings -- then you might not see the advantages. "Just because something is keto-friendly does not make it healthy in the long run," mentioned Shana Minei Spence, MS, RDN, CDN, founding father of The Vitamin Tea. "Always check the labels first before falling into the trap of buying a product because of marketing." Read the full article

LA Johnson/NPR
Shana Spence says she’s an “eat-anything” dietitian: she encourages her clients to eat what they actually enjoy. When it comes to food, she says to focus on what nourishes your body, fills you up, and doesn’t break the bank.

Thoughts While Watching PLL “Bring Down the Hoe”
1) Shana is afraid of Cece. Emily is scared of Shana.
2) Tanner is such a savage and I love it. “We found a shoe…it’s a magical shoe that’s going to tell us exactly what happened the night *insert name here* was murdered.”
3) Damn, Ezra…no need to be snapping at Emily just because you found out you ain’t the baby daddy. Back up off mah girl, bruh.
4) I always liked mysterious bald cowboy.
5) “Hi, I’m Spencer. I’m climbing into the crawlspace.” I love Troian.
6) PLL logic: “There is a potential murderer upstairs...let’s stick our eyes in a hole where this strange person could jab them out.”
7) “Spence, it’s like you’re living a double life.” Me: Hehehehehehe.
8) Ezra…you are looking rough, my friend.
9) “Stop taking care of everyone but yourself.” Well, Ali did have SOME words of wisdom, mostly when they applied to her favorite liar.
10) Caleb looks good in a cowboy hat.
11) Travis looks good in a cowboy hat, too. I really like Travis.
12) I imagine Lucy Hale and her lil country ass was right at home during this cowboy line dance.
13) Emily and Spencer to the hayride guy: “We need to borrow your truck!” Hayride guy: “Nah.” Emily: “Now what?” Spencer: “Let’s steal it.”
14) I laughed at how quickly they were going for the kill after they see someone in the hay. “Grab that spade! Let’s fry us up some whoopass!”
15) Caleb and Toby are BROTP.
16) Emily: “I don’t want to be the person who ends up with mushy squash.” Paige: “…are you drunk?” Paige seems funnier to me on this rewatch.

Master A.D. Theory
First thing’s first, this is going to be pretty long, probably a little sloppy too. I’m sure there are hundreds of blogs that have a similar theory, if not the exact same, and there will be some of you that think I’m incredibly crazy. Either way, please don’t be offended or post hate/spam. Normally the PLL fandom is good about not doing stuff like that, but with Tumblr, you never know. I will say that I love a good debate, so if you do have an alternate theory, I’d love to hear it! Maybe you’ll even change my mind. I want to hear all your thoughts! I’ll post a part 2 if I feel like people actually want one lol.
Here we go:
The A Team
Wren – A.D.
Motive: Twincer’s lover, he’s the brains of the operation.
CeCe – Red herring (just a minion)
Motive: Met Wren/Twincer at Radley, they hated the same people so they recruited her. CeCe never told Ali because Wren/Twincer threatened to kill Ali. CeCe was killed because she told them she wasn’t keeping their secret anymore. She died because she knew too much.
Melissa – Minion
Motive: Hates Spencer, jealously. Possibly not a minion by choice (but doubtful). Doesn’t know about Twincer. Also, are we not forgetting about that time Melissa was seen by Emily working with Shana and Jenna? Two people who have tried to KILL the girls ???????
Ezra – Minion
Motive: Not by choice? He doesn’t know much. Doesn’t even know about Twincer. The A team keeps him out of the loop.
Twincer – A.D./Minion
Motive: Spencer got the better life. Spencer’s family is also the reason her mother was in Radley and they were torn apart from each other. It’s my theory that they weren’t expecting for Mary to have twins. Mr. Hastings didn’t want both of them so he didn’t tell Veronica that there were two girls. Jessica paid off Radley to tell Mary that Twincer died at birth (yet Twince was probably at Radley the whole time), which is why Mary Drake never tells Spencer about her.Twincer met Wren at Radley and fell in love with him. From the minute he started dating Melissa, he knew who the Hastings were and about Mary Drake the whole time. He’s been helping Twincer get her revenge because he loves her.
Lucas – Former minion
Motive: Friends with CeCe/Charles, hated the girls for not standing up for him but now he wants out of the game. Cares deeply for Hannah.
——————
So, if you’ve been following me, you know that I believe Spence has a twin who we will refer to as Twincer throughout this post. But, I’m going to explain why I think Ezra is a minion:
First of all, I immediately noticed something was off with Spence at the airport before I even speculated the whole twin theory. My first reaction was “Why the fuck is she with Wren? That’s so fuuucking random.” Then when Ezra looked at her and Wren from across the room and immediately gave them a weird, off putting look, I thought that was also preeeetty fucking weird. Why would he be so weirded out by seeing Spencer? Why not just walk up to her and say hi? Ezra is a minion. Possibly not by choice though. I think he’s kept in the dark about a lot of stuff and probably only speaks to Wren. In fact, I’m like 99% percent sure Ezra was there to meet Wren to give him information about the girls or something. Twincer wasn’t supposed to show up. She seems pissed at Wren about something so she went there to confront him about it. I don’t think Ezra knows about Twincer. So when he saw Wren with Spencer, that’s what made him kind of confused. To immediately cover their tracks, Twincer pretends to be Spencer so her cover isn’t blown. Ezra is a minion of course, so he can’t know too much. Let’s not forget Ezra also told Aria “he needed to talk to the doctor.” He also lied about his flight to Twincer (who he actually thought was Spencer). I hope you’re still with me lol.
I’m going to end it here for now. If you guys like this theory, let me know, I’ll start writing part 2!

Her value system is internal – she does what she has to do to protect herself and the people closest to her. She can be very hard on people who violate her morals or wrong her. When Aria kills Shana to protect her friends, she struggles to live with the guilt and wants to turn herself in for the murder. She primary deals with her feelings following the incident in solitude. She repeatedly watches the video of Shana’s memorial alone and cries silently. Aria has trouble with forgiving herself for what she did and tries to make a donation towards the cost of the funeral, until she is interrupted and stopped by Ezra. Aria needs to “find a way to live with what she did in New York.” She attempts to alleviate her guilt by going over to Jenna’s to be “sorry for her loss” and offers to listen to her talk about Shana in order to help her heal. Aria doesn’t care what other people think of her relationship with Ezra. It feels right to her, so other people’s opinions don’t matter. She can sometimes see through people and call them out on their behavior. When Sean tries to give her flowers to say “thanks”, Aria flatly states that his real motive was to hurt Hanna. When Aria is feeling something, she doesn’t hold back for the sake of group harmony. She is in a bad mood and withdrawn on her double date with Noel, Hanna, and Sean because she’s upset about Ezra and can’t pull herself out of her funk. After she finds out the truth about Hanna giving Ella the museum tickets, she is snarky and isolates herself from the rest of the group in Emily’s bedroom. She doesn’t address what’s bothering her, but makes rude comments and eventually gets up and leaves. Aria begins working for A.D. in order to protect Ezra from the police report she filled out accusing him of statutory rape after A.D. threatens to make it public, but feels so guilty about what she’s done that she wants to turn herself in. She can’t stand that she betrayed her friends to keep Ezra out of trouble. Aria has a hard time doing something if it contradicts the way she’s feeling. For example, she refuses to go to her mother’s for dinner after she moves into her own apartment because, to Aria, doing so would be like saying she’s okay with them being separated when she isn’t.
Tumblr media
Auxiliary Extroverted Sensing [Se]: It can be quite difficult for Aria to think abut the consequences of her actions before doing something. She pursues a relationship with Ezra even though doing so can get him into a lot of trouble. Aria acts on impulse a lot, which is typically driven by her emotions, and when she gets herself worked up about something, she doesn’t really care about the repercussions. She has a history of acting out in violent, destructive ways, such as destroying Ezra’s apartment or trashing her father’s office after she discovers his affair. On occasion, Aria will make the risky move of showing up at Ezra’s apartment without calling ahead. At the dance-a-thon, she’s all ready to march over to Simone and make a scene about Ezra, but Spencer (who always thinks about consequences), intervenes and diffuses the situation before it can start. Aria is unafraid to act in the moment. She uses the rifle to knock Shana off the stage to save her friends. When Hanna and Spencer are arguing about what to do with the file, Aria grabs it and throws it into the water. After she finds out that Ezra got close to her for his book about Ali’s disappearance, she fills out a police report as a spiteful act of revenge, though she never files it. When Aria is suspicious about what’s going on with her parents, she runs straight into the school to get answers. When Ezra is directing a play, Aria asks him to be his stage manager so they can spend more time together, which Ezra immediately thinks is a bad idea, but Aria doesn’t care about the problems that might present. All she cares about is having the opportunity to be in his company. She doesn’t get worked up thinking about the future. “You have no idea what’s gonna happen tomorrow. Nobody does.” Aria signs up for self-defense classes and enjoys feeling empowered and in control of her environment. However, during her first lesson, she impulsively kisses her instructor after getting one of the moves down. She enjoys sensory hobbies and interests, such as music, photography, art, and fashion. She takes advantage of opportunities that arise in her environment. She volunteers at Radley to get information and she goes to Maggie’s classroom, pretending to be an undergraduate interested in teaching in order to satisfy her curiosity about Ezra’s ex. She’s highly aware of her surroundings and often uses them to form conclusions.
Tumblr media
Tertiary Introverted Intuition [Ni]: When Aria has a hunch about something, she commits to the idea until it’s either proven, or proven to be incorrect. She doesn’t usually entertain multiple theories at once, and tends to stick with whatever she feels is most likely until the trail leads her to a dead end. Because Aria can see the deeper meaning in things, she’s convinced that Shana’s underlined passage from her copy of The Scarlet Letter is a reference to the fact that she’s “A”. Sometimes, Aria will convince herself that the worst-case scenario will come to fruition and acts on impulse to prevent it from happening. After the events that occurred in New York, Aria is afraid that “A” will tell the police what really happened. Aria’s first instinct is to go to the cabin in the woods to make it look like Ali had been hiding out there in order to substantiate their story. She believes that it is only a mater of time until they are inevitably caught by the police and can become quite pessimistic when forced to confront the future. Aria enjoys understanding the deeper meanings behind things and is quite analytical when it comes to books and movies. When the girls are putting together Ali’s memorial, she visualizes what people will think or feel when they see it. She says that she and her friends will be forgotten, but people will come there far into the future and, even though they won’t know Ali or what happened to her, she will be immortalized.
Tumblr media
Inferior Extroverted Thinking [Te]: Aria doesn’t typically enact plans of her own. Rather, she tends to play a role in other people’s. Sometimes, when Aria is feeling stressed, she can fall into the grip of her inferior function and feel the need to do something, such as going to the cabin to make it look as though Ali had been living there in order to back up the lie they told. When Aria feels threatened or attacked, or loses control of her temper, she can be blunt, direct, and brutal. She is very cold towards Meredith and has no trouble telling her to stay away from her father. When Mona begins to get close to Aria’s brother, Aria really lets her have it, and Mona even makes a comment about Aria’s maliciousness. She has a tendency to become paranoid and suspicious of others, and can become combative and hostile under stress, often blurting out whatever she thinks or feels in the moment. When Aria kills Shana, she feels the need to do something to make it right. First, she wants to make a donation, and then she decides to go to Jenna in the aftermath to help her through it.
Note: I haven’t been able to bring myself to do a typing for Aria because of my tendency to go back and forth between INFP and ISFP for her. However, it seems that the third time watching the series was the charm, because I finally feel confident in declaring her an ISFP. I stand by what I’ve previously said about her. She’s a terribly written character, which makes typing her a serious pain. If you’re interested in reading my analysis of why typing her was a nearly impossible task, please feel free to read the article I posted here.

Quotes:
Aria: I write, too, but so far it’s mostly personal… just for me.
Aria: Kind of lying here despondently right now, Spence. Spencer: Well, can you just sit despondently? I need the bed. Aria: No, lying is more despondent.
Ella: Well, sweetie, I was going to when you came over for dinner, but then you canceled on Monday… and Tuesday, and then on Wednesday. Aria: Yeah, this week’s been intense. Ella: I understand. I just, you know, I would like to see you in the flesh. But you don’t really plan on ever coming over, do you? Aria: I can’t. Look, if I did, it’d be like saying I’m okay with you and dad living apart. Ella: But we are. Aria: I know! Just ’cause you were ready for this doesn’t mean that I am. I gotta get back to the library.
Aria: I just want to lay in my bed and listen to sad music all day.
Aria: Stop talking! There’s nothing you could say that would change the way I feel right now.
Mike: If your relationship is so much trouble, why not just let it go? Aria: Look, when you love someone. It’s worth fighting for, no matter what the odds.
Aria: I know that you don’t want a friend right now, but that doesn’t mean that your friends don’t need you.
Aria: Look, we’re here now… …and it’s just the two of us. And it feels good. So let’s not care together.
Aria: We’re both here now. Can’t we just be happy we have that?
Ezra: Aria, let’s be real. We’re a lot more wrong than we are right. Aria: You wanna be real? Forget about theory. What does it feel like? When we’re together? Ezra: Good. It feels… right.
Spencer: He’s your boyfriend, Aria. He’s not a baby squirrel. Aria: I was just trying to do the right thing. Spencer: Totally wrong. Look, I’ve been there, I’ve done that. Every time you baby squirrel Ezra, you’re taking away his nuts. Aria: You did not just say that.
Aria: That is it! I will kick her back to New York if I have to. Spencer: Wait, Aria, stop. Before you do something you regret. Aria: Spence, let go of me! Spencer: There are teachers here. And parents – your parents. Aria: I don’t care!
Spencer: [to Aria] That was a suicide mission and you know it.
Aria: You’re leaving because it’s easier to walk away than to fight for what you really want.
Aria: I just came here to say that I signed up For the play for all the wrong reasons, So I’m officially done. You’re right, it was a terrible idea. Ezra: Aria- Aria: But you were wrong, too… About the future. You have no idea What’s gonna happen tomorrow. Nobody does. My friend Alison, she didn’t. She didn’t get a future. She didn’t even get to turn 16.
Aria: Look, Hanna, I really hope that you find a hobby. And I hope you have a carefree senior year, Em. But I’ve got to find a way to live with what I did in New York. I can be sorry for her loss. All right? That’s what I can do.
Emily: [to Aria] You’re suppose to stop her from doing stupid things like this, not help.
Aria: You know, years from now, people are gonna see this memorial… …and that’s all they’ll ever know about Ali. She’ll be the girl that they dedicated the bench to. And we’ll all be gone, but Ali will still be remembered.
Sean: Did you get – Aria: The flowers? Yeah. Don’t ever do that again. Sean: I’m sorry, are you – Aria: I’m one of Hanna’s best friends, Sean… The person you should be sending flowers to. Sean: I was just saying thanks for – Aria: No, you were saying ‘Screw you, Hanna.’ Sean: Okay, maybe I was, but can you blame me? She makes a big deal about going together, then bails. Aria: Stop! Hanna loves you, and you know it. She hasn’t talked about any other guy since the seventh grade, and believe me, it’s boring how much she loves you. Why would you want to hurt her?
Hanna: This was Shana’s. Aria: What? Hanna: Let’s just put it back. Aria: No, no, no. Hold on a second. Oh my God, look what she underlined. “It is a curious subject whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom. Each leaves the passionate lover, or the no less passionate hater, forlorn and desolate by the withdrawal of his subject.” Hanna: Aria, it’s probably just a school assignment. Aria: No, this is about Ali and Jenna and us. This is about being ‘A.’ Hanna: No, this is about you trying to paw through Shana’s things when you should be trying to forget about her. Aria: Well, there might be something in here. Hanna: Just stop.
Aria: Shana wasn’t “A.” I killed an innocent person. Ezra: Shana wasn’t innocent, Aria. Aria: Yeah, but the cops aren’t gonna believe that when they find out how long I’ve been covering this up. And it’s only a matter of time before “A” exposes what I did.
Aria: Look, Ezra, what happened the other night… Ezra: Felt right, didn’t it? Aria: It doesn’t mean that things can go back to the way that they were. Ezra: So what does it mean? Aria: Oh, I’m not gonna pretend like I don’t miss it, us, because I do. Ezra: I do, too. Aria: Yeah, but then I remember everything that happened and how we met, all the lies that you told. Ezra: Believe me, I wish I could go back and change things. Aria: But you can’t. And the other night was a mistake.
Simone: Your mom tells me you kept quite an intense journal, while you were away.
Aria: I try not to look back, but if there’s anything that I could change it would be that night.
Aria: Guys, please, enough with Jason for a minute. Mona knows that we were in New York. Don’t you understand? Okay, it’s only a matter of time before she runs out of whistles and start tearing our balloons and say Aria killed Shana. Hanna: Okay, whistles? Emily: Aria, stop. Okay. Mona does not know about Shana. Aria: Then who does? Who? Who is screwing with me? And you keep me telling me that “A” is dead. Hanna: “A” is dead, Aria. Aria: Then why am I hearing a violin in my backyard? Who’s the fiddler on my freaking roof?
[throwing the file into the water] Aria: There! It’s done! Okay? We never saw it. We don’t even know it exists. Can we leave now? Please?
Emily: Aria. Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. Just got your text… I was with Ali. What are you doing? Aria: If we’ve been out here hiding her for a month it sure as hell needs start looking like it. Emily: Seriously, you can’t do this right now. Aria: Yeah, you’re right. We should have been out here last night filling this place with crap after Alison got that text. Oh, and thank you for keeping me in the dark about that. What am I? Your child? Emily: We only did that because you were such a mess when your dad came to the police station. Aria: Yeah and what? What you thought if I got a good night’s sleep, I’d just wake up in candy land? Emily: Okay, Aria calm down. That text wasn’t from “A”. Aria: How do you know that? Emily: Because I was there when Shana-slash-A was killed. Look… Spencer was right. It’s one thing not to contradict Ali’s story and it’s another to add to it. We can’t go down that rabbit hole again. Aria: Yeah, well, I can’t do nothing, all right? Because if “A” knows that I took down Shana.. Emily: Aria… Aria: I’m gonna be the… Emily: Shana had been using us as target practice for months, what you did was purely self-defense. Aria: It doesn’t matter. Someone is dead. All right, and she will never be able to recover or apologize or even graduate from high school because I killed her. I killed her, Emily, and I don’t know how I’m gonna be able to live with that. (breathes heavily) Emily: Aria… in that moment, it was you or her. I went through this after… Nate. You think that no one can understand what this feels like, but I’ve been there.
Aria: Hey. Oh, my God. Guys. She is seriously freaking me out. She knows that we were in New York. She threatened Ali. What if she knows about Shana, too? Spencer: Aria, look, you need to take a psychological selfie right now. You’re letting your paranoia get the better of you. Aria: Really? How do you know that all this isn’t all about Shana? Spencer: Because it’s not. It’s all about Ali. I’ve been fielding questions about her all day.
Aria: Hi. Sorry, it was really stupid of me not to call. Ezra: No, it’s okay. Is everything all right? Sit down, sit down. Aria: I can’t stop thinking about Shana’s family. I mean, every time I close my eyes all I can see is her grandmother and just how destroyed and how empty she looked at her funeral. Ezra: How did you know what she looked like at the funeral? Aria: ‘Cause I watched it online, many times. Ezra: Aria, you’re just going to have to find a way to forgive yourself.
Aria: Oh, I’m just a friend. I wasn’t able to send flowers so I was wondering if I could donate to the cost of the service. Woman: Well, her grandmother’s been a member of our congregation for a long time. I’m certain she would want to thank you for your… Aria; Oh, no, no, I’d really, really rather the donation be anonymous. Is it possible to send cash?
Aria: Okay, we need to get these boxes out of here right now. Ezra: Okay, let’s just slow down a second here. Aria: Tanner’s probably on her way back here with a search warrant. Ezra: She’s not on her way back here. Aria: How can you say that? I mean she basically said she knows that Shana was the one that shot you. Ezra: Well, then why would she want to search my place? Aria: ‘Cause she knows that you’re hiding something, that’s why. Ezra: Well, she’s gonna need a whole lot more than suspicion to get a search warrant. Aria: If she does come back, she’s gonna find proof that you were lying about how well you knew Shana and that Ali wasn’t kidnapped. Ezra: I guess I could move this stuff into my storage unit. Aria: Wait, no. No, because if it’s registered in your name they’re just gonna search that, too. Hmm, okay, let’s just put everything in my attic until we find a better place. My dad’s in Syracuse until Sunday. Ezra: Okay. That’s a good idea. Oh, what is this? Aria: Oh, my God, I think that’s supposed to be Mrs. DiLaurentis. Ezra: How can you tell? Aria: I mean that’s her house. She was obsessed with her roses. And she definitely wore scarves like that. Ezra: Bethany. Aria: How many Bethanys do you know? Ezra: Just one. And she was buried in Mrs. DiLaurentis’ backyard. Aria: Ezra, who would want you to have this? Ezra: Why? Aria: My money’s on “A”.
Aria Montgomery (Pretty Little Liars): ISFP was originally published on MBTI Zone

Every Single Pretty Little Liars Character Ever, Ranked From Their Probability of Being A.D
This is not including the “A-Team” as a whole because I swear half the town is on the A team. This is for A.D, Big A, if you will.
Unknown Character/Twin
I have to make this my #1 guess. Not only because I hate Marlene, but also because I hate Marlene. It probably wouldn’t make sense, but Marlene loves random people.
Melissa Hastings
Melissa has motive. Melissa already killed Bethany, she could probably kill some more people TBH. Melissa knew Charlotte. A.D hasn’t done anything too terrible to Spencer. 
Wren Kingston
Probably a fake doctor, probably slept with almost as many people as Peter, definitely sketchy when it comes to Charlotte & Bethany. I wouldn’t doubt him being mentally unstable either, TBH. I don’t really want him to be A.D, but he has the credentials.
Spencer Hastings
She’s definitely my #1 pick for a liar being A.D. Smart, sly, and has A LOT of family protection. She also has the money to do whatever creepy stuff needed.
Lucas Grottsman
If he’s not A.D, on the A Team, or Charlotte’s killer they’ve completed wasted his character. He’s smart, rich, and is close to Hanna so he hears a bunch of stuff first hand.
Charlotte DiLaurentis
She’s dead, apparently. But some of those really creepy masks we’ve seen this season, is enough to convince me possibly otherwise??? Imagine if she’s literally avenging her own death that didn’t happen. Mmm, juicy. Dead girl who’s not dead anymore? Sounds full circle-y.
Caleb Rivers
Hacking skills, 2 side hoes love him, and he’s really suspicious this season. I’ll have to get back to you on a motive.
Mona Vanderwall
It’d be a complete injustice for Mona to be A.D, imo. She’s progressed so much, I don’t want them to throw it all away.
Jessica DiLaurentis/Mary DiLaurentis
We don’t know for sure which one is dead. That’s sketchy enough for me to consider them A worthy, no matter the motive.
Elliot Rollins
I know, they checked to see if he was dead. I know that accident would have killed him instantly. However, Huw said “Dead is sometimes not dead.” Motive = Confirmed. On A team? Check. 
Alison DiLaurentis
I think pre-time jump, Ali on A-Team would have made sense. Now, I doubt it.
Sydney Driscoll
I think she’s been too minor of a character to be A.D, however, she’s friends with Jenna. So I mean, I don’t put it past her as being an A Team member. 
Andrew Campbell
Remember when they accused him of being a crazy kidnapper all because he was adopted?? And Aria his “girlfriend” confirmed that it was him without ever seeing him in the Dollhouse?? If I was him, I’d want some revenge too. 
Kenneth DiLaurentis
Where has he been lately??? Maybe he actually got close to Charlotte or he’s her father. Either way, his lack of appearances makes me suspicious. 
Anne Sullivan
I love this idea. She has the wit, the information gathered from her clients, knew Charlotte and she definitely would have access to some files. However, I just don’t think she’d have time to be A.D. 
Veronica Hastings
Eh, she’s busy being political and stuff. + no motive?
Holden Strauss
We haven’t seen him in forever, and he’s randomly returning??? It’d be a less than interesting reveal, but the lack of backstory would make it very easy for the writers to blame him.
Jonny Raymond
Same thing as above. Why is S7 bringing back so many irrelevant characters??
Aria Montgomery
Aria is always a bit of a wild card. We never see what happens to her in the dollhouse, she has those weird snappy moments over little things that the other girls don’t seem to have. Plus, she had the whisper in the first few seasons intro. That screams guilty. However, not a DiLaurentis, Drake, or Hastings.
Jason DiLaurentis
I’d love the idea of Jason tormenting 2 of his sisters and his ex lover. Poor Emily would just be collateral damage, but this would be a GREAT PLOT. However, I’m pretty sure he’s innocent..
Cindy & Mindy
A team maybe, but I doubt either of them as A.D. Unless one is like A and one is D. In which case, guilty.
Linda Tanner
She’s always very fast to blame everything on the Liars,(Isn’t everyone?) but I feel like she’s not A.D. A team? Maybe, just like most the town. A.D? Probably not, tbh,
Paige McCullers
Yes, she was stalking Emily, I know. I just think she’s a bit more of a creepy fangirl type of stalker than force-you-to-give-up-hostages-of-your-own type thing.
Mike Montgomery
He’s been MIA for a bit, because the actor is busy. I don’t think he’s returning anytime soon.
Peter Hastings
If this was a competition on who has slept with the most people in Rosewood, he’d win. But it’s not. So he really has no motive.
Jenna Marshall
She was very believable as a possibility for A.D, until she was kidnapped.
Ezra Fitz
He’s a grieving man at the beginning of 6B. I don’t really see him as A.D. 
Hanna Marin
Unless she’s really into hiding being A.D enough to give herself permanent scars, I doubt it.
Ted Wilson
Pastor by day, A.D by night?? Unlikely, tbh. Unless, he’s Charlotte’s dad. In which case, watch out for Ted.
Byron Montgomery & Ella Montgomery
I just put them together to save some space. Doubtful as A.D. They’re too busy being newlyweds. Again.
Liam Greene
Honestly if he was A.D, he’d just be torturing Ezra(which I don’t blame him for..)
Toby Cavanaugh
Already been on the A Team once,  would have no motive for being A.D, tries to help the girls, busy being a police officer. No hope for Toby as A.D, sorry.
Marco Fuery
Eh, he’s kinda irrelevant. I would love for him to end up with Spence tho.
Ashley Marin
I mean, she’s at the Radley 24/7, but I don’t think so, Momma Marin.
Yvonne Phillips
She’s mostly there for Spoby tension. Plus she got BEAT. 
Sara Harvey
She’s a boring character with virtually no plot, terrible acting, and her being A would be a disgrace. Plus, she’s dead.
Emily Fields
Stealing her own eggs is bit too odd, + I have a feeling A.D won’t be one of the main girls unless it’s Alison or Spencer.
Sabrina
I doubt it, tbh. She’s just another semi-relevant-but-not-really love interest for Emily.
Lorenzo Calderon
Irrelevant Ali short term boyfriend. I don’t even know if he’s still in Rosewood, hasn’t even been mentioned since 6B. Probably not A.D.
Jordan Hobart
He was only slightly shown to begin with. Besides, he’s busy doing whatever his  job is anyway. He really was a gentleman though, I hope he finds happiness.
Travis Hobbs
He was only in like, 5 episodes as Hanna’s bf. Very minor character, who’s been irrelevant for a while. Not A.D.
Garret Reynolds
He’s dead, poor Aria can proof it. That scene was enough to give me nightmares, and confirm he cannot be A.
Kate Randall
Yes, the boob thing was very A like, but she’s not A. This A doesn’t play games that way.
Tom Marin
Another motive-less fool. 
Meredith Sorenson
Where is the motive??? Sleeping w a married man then blackmailing his daughter over the murder of a woman you didn’t know isn’t really a norm thing. Then again, nothing in PLL is.
Noel Khan
Definitely was on the A-Team. Was. ‘Cause he was beheaded.
Barry Maple
Tbh I’m surprised whoever this is was in 6 seasons.
Sean Ackard
Irrelevant. No motive. NEXT.
Ian Thomas
We saw him die. Twice.
Lyndon James
Emily killed him, besides, he really only wanted revenge for Emily taking Maya. He wouldn’t torment them all, and he would have just came back to kill her if he was alive.
Darren Wilden
Blah, blah, “dead is not dead”, blah blah. He’s been dead AND irrelevant for 4 seasons, I don’t think he’s returning. However, if he did, that’d be a crazy thing to watch.
Jackie Molina
Jackie who?
Pam Fields
Pam is too busy grieving over Mr. Fields to be A.D. Also, I’m pretty sure she wasn’t a huge Charlotte fan anyway.
Clark Wilkins
Once again, who?
Talia Sandoval
Another one of Emily’s irrelevant girlfriends. No motive, no plot, just a side character to be Emily’s 483907439th lover.
Gabriel Holbrook
They’ve already done the “Alison’s ex lover works for A.D” plot line once, I doubt they’ll do it again.
Shana Fring
She’s dead. Aria killed her, an investigation happened. She’s not alive, nor is she A.D.
Jake (No last name because he’s irrelevant)
He doesn’t even have a last name. He’s not A.D, I’m 99% sure.
Alex Santiago
Who?
Maya St. Germain
She’s dead y’all, it’s been confirmed by the show. By Marlene. By EVERY SINGLE ACTOR OR ACTRESS WHO HAS BEEN ASKED. SHE IS D E A D.
Wayne Fields
The whole “Military Dad fakes death overseas to become a tormentor to his own daughter over a girl he didn’t know’s death” is a little too messed up, even for Pretty Little Liars.

“I’ve done diets before and they’ve worked. I lost weight. A calorie deficit works and I’m going to do this to get healthy. Stop being irresponsible and telling people diets don’t work.”
Thank you random person for proving my point without me doing any work.
1. You mention “diets” as in plural. So you keep doing multiple ones? As in the first and second and third one didn’t work or last? As in they actually didn’t work because they weren’t sustainable? Interesting.
2. Clearly there is more to this than just being in a calorie deficit. Yes if we do arithmetic we can figure out a calorie deficit. But is that deficit sustainable? Clearly not as it hasn’t worked, proven 5 or more times you’ve tried.
3. You are equating health with weight. So constant weight cycling is healthy? So feeling anxious around food and exercise is healthy? So arguing with a stranger on the internet who you’re not paying to care what you decide to do with your body is healthy? Seriously...
Yes diets work if you’re only looking at a calorie deficit that is short lived. How about focusing on sustainable solutions such as having a healthy relationship with food and your body? How about not confusing arbitrary numbers with health?

Say good bye to IBS, a 'functional' disorder. See how Shana Spence, RD guides you to what Irritable Bowel Syndrome is, and how a low FODMAP diet and get rid of IBS.
What you eat and how you eat is, therefore known to have a profound effect on the symptoms of IBS. As it is never possible to prevent all the IBS symptoms, you may find that following a healthy gut diet plan may prevent the symptoms from being triggered.
