“why do you live in your body like you will be given another? as if it were temporary. you starve it, you let anyone touch it, you berate it. tell it that should be completely different. you tug at your soft flesh, wish it thinner, wish it gone. you fall in love with those who praise the way it sighs under their hands, but who praises the way it holds up your weight, even when you are falling apart?”

Today in History - April 20

Billie Holiday records Strange Fruit, 1939.

Noted as the first major rallying cry for the Civil Rights movement, Strange Fruit was a poem originally written by Abel Meeropol, and first performed by his wife and singer Laura Duncan, at protest venues in New York City. However, it wasn’t until Billie Holiday recorded the song for Commodore Records that it became a major hit.
Southern trees bear strange fruit, 
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, 
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
 Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south, 
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, 
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh, 
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck, 
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, 
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, 
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

Setting fire to our insides for fun / Collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:07:00 -0500

It was a flood that wrecked this home.

Sorry I’ve dropped off the radar this past weekend. I haven’t been eating very well and it’s taken me a few days to get back on track. And when I feel bad about my eating I don’t like coming on tumblr… it makes me feel some combination of guilt, shame, desire to do more—none of those things (except the last) feel especially good.

I haven’t weight lifted in a few weeks and I really want to get back to it, but midterm season has started and it’s getting harder to carve out a time to go to the gym. That’s just an excuse though—if I planned my time better and was truly dedicated, I’d get it done.

It’s been a good week so far though.

My next goal: absolutely zero muffin top in my black jeans. I should take a BEFORE picture.

One of my regrets is not taking a BEFORE picture back in December, so I’d have something visually to compare to now.

house-of-bones:

to do list, 4/18:

be kind to yourself. taking pride in self depravation is dangerous. and ultimately, your refusal to listen to yourself is completely destructive.

remember the chain reaction of the past, present, future. future is dictated by present.

taking it slow and inaction are…

And if you’re still breathing, you’re the lucky ones.
‘Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
the lovers that went wrong.

When we were little, Jaime and I were so much alike that even our lord father could not tell us apart. Sometimes as a lark we would dress in each other’s clothes and spend a whole day as the other. Yet even so, when Jaime was given his first sword, there was none for me. ‘What do I get?’ I remember asking. We were so much alike, I could never understand why they treated us so differently. Jaime learned to fight with a sword and lance and mace, while I was taught to smile and sing and please. He was heir to Casterly Rock, while I was to be sold to some stranger like a horse, to be ridden whenever my new owner liked, beaten whenever he liked, and cast aside in time for a younger filly. Jaime’s lot was to be glory and power, while mine was birth and moonblood.

Health Benefits of Tilapia
Tilapia is a mild-flavored, white-fleshed fish and is a terrific, low-calorie source of lean protein, making it a great food to enjoy for weight loss or if you are at risk of cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes. The protein found in tilapia can also help moderate your mood by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates and keeping blood-sugar levels stable. To maintain the health benefits of tilapia, bake, grill, or roast the fish rather than frying it. (Note: US farmed is the most sustainable choice.)

I have some fillets and I’m going to try steaming one tonight I think. Wish me lick with THAT x.x

I’ve also recently been eating more fish! First time I’ve ever made fish/meat on my own, so it’s kind of exciting. I’d eat it more often but I buy the frozen filets and I always forget I have to defrost them!

This is something I’ve been scared to admit for awhile: I think my memory has gotten worse. I used to have an almost-photographic memory and now, after the worst part of my restriction (when my BMI was underweight), I have a hard time remembering things sometimes. Thing that used to be right there, at my mental fingertips, are miles away now. I have a hard time remembering some people’s names, when I used to be able to remember the name of some random guy I met when totally drunk at a party 3 weeks ago.

I haven’t mentioned this to anyone, and I don’t whether I’m just getting old (at age 21…?) or imagining it or… I don’t know. Because my brain shrank when I lost 20 lbs in a month? When I was like 125 lbs at 5’10”?

fitnesstreats:

“Believe it or not, a lot of your brain is made of fat (about 60%)! The neurons in the brain are coated with a protective, fatty coating called myelin that “shrinks” when you lose excessive amounts of weight. So it’s not surprising that brain scans of patients with anorexia nervosa or bulimia show brain atrophy, which is reversible if the woman gains weight.”

From the book “The New Feminine Brain” by Mona Lisa Schulz, M.D. Ph.D.
