I want the same thing for Vday that I want every day: to end all forms (implicit, explicit, subtle, discursive, physical, symbolic, direct, indirect) of violence against women.....AND all individuals and communities who's genders, sexualities, ages, dis/abilities, racializations, classed/economic locations, languages,…

WORD, MY FRIEND, WORD!

Jessiekanga, you said it. As 'skinny' bodies are socially privileged and valorized over 'fat' bodies, open 'praise/congrats' on weight loss needs to be seen as microcosms of sizism and 'fat' phobia more broadly. I would have to agree with Jessiekanga: that the weight struggle is 'shaming' with or without an outright vocal…

I agree. I really liked the critique of 'helping those in need' as well. I think I needed to read this article in checking my positions of privilege when engaging in fitness regimes and such.....oh how I never stop seeing the importance of self-reflexviity. I am glad you liked me sharing this article! Have a good day,…

Hi hi, jessiekanga! Yes, perhaps the founding mothers did move on. Nonetheless, I am super thrilled to find such a group regardless of the activity that ensues. I am also part of ending all forms of violence against women movement...among many many other movements. I like to keep my hands in all sorts of revolutions, you…

Adjusting protein intake--more commonly an increase in protein consumption--will defiantly mess with your digestive system. Bloating is normal. Even irritable bowel movements and constipation is expected. When I first started weight training and working out I increased my protein via protein shakes and more fatty fish. To…

For any of you still reading this post, I am remotely proud to say that I have been Kabocha squash free for about 3 weeks now. The Umpa-Loompa skin tone has almost fully subsided and my food intake has surly diversified. In turn, I am becoming quite explorative in my recipe searches and cooking. I made an excellent Octupus…

Thanks Christineab!

Hi Lacurandera1, You are right. I am cognizant of the dangers in malnourishing myself. Keep in mind, however, that I do not eat like this everyday. Today I had about 2 cups of this squash and am preparing some quinoa, steamed veggies and poached salmon for dinner. I am very good with getting my protein. In fact I get more…

Hi Anifani4 I deeply appreciate your comments and advice. Unfortunately because of my binge disordered eating habits it is hard for me to abide by the 'everything in moderation' mantra. Like my other food focus obsessions, I am confident that this Kabocha romance will surely wither away and I will find a new flavour of the…

Thanks Chrsitineab. But since comparatively there is about 5 gram fibre difference between the two, where would you fit Kabocha into this fibre count?

QUOTE: "no no no no! Protein has a higher thermogenic effect than carbs or fat. The more calories that come from protein the better. Your body uses more calories to digest protein therefore it's almost like consuming slightly less in cals than if it comes from fat or carbs. When I up my protein to 140 I always drop fat…
