Thanks to CBD I have a way to control the pain caused by my osteoarthritis and the general day to day anxiety of just being alive in the 21st century. Cuz. Being a human these days is very stressful. 🤷🏼‍♂️ * Don't like the taste of CBD? Love chocolate? @theratreats has a wide range of chocolate bars to choose from. Loved this sea salt and strawberry combo with the dark chocolate! Each square has 15 mg dose which is perfect for my needs. My other bar, cinnamon and raspberry I'm saving for a special occasion. 🥰 * * * #cbd #cbdmovement #cbdchocolate #chocolate #chocolovers #organicchocolate #organicfood #health #mentalhealth

When I started teaching 13 years ago I was quickly approaching 400 pounds. My mobility in the classroom was a challenge, and standing all day was painful. I had to arrange my room based on if I could fit between the rows of desks. If a student moved a desk into one of my lanes I would feel anxiety and stay in the front of the room for the rest of that class. I couldn't fit into a student desk so I had to bring a chair around to meet with students. It was mentally and emotionally taxing. It was embarrassing. 😕 * A student wrote a note to me that first year, "If you lost weight you'd be happier." I wasn't upset reading that. Just sad. Hurt that others could see the burden I carried in my heart. It was obvious enough for a student to say something. Even though I tried to fake a smile and lean into the "funny fat guy" trope, it was clear I was wearing a mask. 😞 * I’ve lost the weight but I still feel that anxiety. I still worry that I won't fit into a desk or be able to squeeze into certain spaces. I still look for lanes in the classroom to maneuver. I struggle with that every day. The road to healing my heart and mind after such extreme weight loss is challenging. I've found it harder than losing the weight. I'm learning that the only way I’ll actually “be happier” is to fully love myself. Not seeing myself as flawed is hard, because I have felt it my entire adult life. Changing my thinking and accepting myself as I am is the most important gift I can give myself. I want to be happier, but not for something as superficial as my weight. I want to live a healthy life and embrace myself as perfectly me. 💚 * * * #weightloss #loseit #moretome #trainandtransform #fitfam #weightlossmotivation #selfcare #bopo #weightlossjourney #inspiration #fitnessmotivation #bodypositivity #bodypositivemovement #weightlosscommunity #bodytransformation #progress #weightlossjourney #transformationtuesday #wlcommunity #fitinspiration #motivation #gettinghealthy #obesetobeast #wlstories #extremeweightlossjourney #wlstransformation #extremeweightloss
Biryani recipe made in my @instantpotofficial for this week's meal prep. Instead of the traditional paneer I swapped in @morinutofu firm Tofu. Delicious! Loads of cilantro too!!! Cuz. That's kinda my thing.🥰 * 2 Tbl canola oil 1 small onion, diced 1 Tbl ginger, grated 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp garam masala 1 tsp cumin 1 Tbl ground coriander 1/2 tsp salt 1 package firm @morinutofu 1 cup mixed veggies 15 oz drained can chickpeas 1/2 cup chopped cilantro 1 cup basmati rice 1-1.5 cup water * In an @instantpotofficial saute the onion, ginger, garlic in the oil for 1-2 min until onion becomes translucent. Add cumin, coriander, salt, garam masala stir and heat for 30 seconds. Turn off saute. Add the following in this order and DO NOT STIR. Layer of small cubed Tofu. Layer of veggies. Layer of cilantro. Coat the top with rice. Pour over water until it just covers the rice. Put top on IP and set pressure for high and timer to 5 min. Let pressure release naturally. Take top off and stir gently. Serve as a side or a generous main dish. 🥰 * * * #foodlove #instantpotrecipes #indianfood #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreefood #glutenfreelife #glutenfree #meatlessmonday #cleaneating #foodstyling #forksoverknives #foodstagram #foodiegram #veganfood #foodgawker #letscookvegan #veganfoodplug #veganfoodshare #veganrecipes #govegan #whatonmyplate #bestofvegan #thrivemags #nomnom #veganbombs #veganjunkfood #healthyfood #goodfood #instafood #eeeeeats
Hoisin sauce covered tofu with a simple ginger soy sauce glaze on the veggies. Simple is always better! Used up all my cilantro for this dish. Guess I need to make a trip to the store! 😘 * * * * * * * #healthyfood #healthyrecipes #eeeeeats #vegancomfortfood #tofu #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreevegan #glutenfreefood #whatsonmyplate #veganfood #veganrecipes #veganlunch #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #healthyeating #healthymeals #healthyyou #veganaf
Why are we so mean to ourselves? What's the reason? What is the point? Comparing. Judging. Shaming. I do it. You do it. Why can't we just exist inside of ourselves peacefully? That should be the goal. We just need to give ourselves a little bit of forgiveness. Exist in a way that serves us. Granting ourselves some leniency. I took pics today to show myself how I actually look. I needed to see that. Not as a way to shame myself, but to try and love on myself. 🥰 * Let's make a vow, set a goal. Put in some real effort to be kinder to ourselves. We can start with how we treat others. Build each other up. Let that positive voice echo in our heads. Bounce around until we're saying it to ourselves. 😊 * I don't know how self love really looks because it's something I struggle with. So much pain, and hurt, and it's really for nothing. I am worthy because I exist. My worth is not dependent on my reflection. Still, some days I feel great. Some days I want out of my skin. I should never want to be anyone but me. I am good enough. You are good enough. We deserve to feel happiness as we are because of who we are. We can't keep going back and forth like this. One day feeling great and other days feeling crushed. We should embrace ourselves for who we are and what we accomplish. I want to feel good inside of my skin. One day at a time. Today, I will love myself for my success and for who I am. How will you love yourself? 💚
