Healthy body, healthy mind.
Re-feeding was a very difficult task. Every time I ate I felt dirty, sick, nauseous, like I had sinned against God, disappointed my family and ruined my life.
Eating was hard. But I had to do it.
When I finally started to consume a wider variety of foods and increase my calorie intake - my problems changed. I used exercise to ‘get rid’ or ‘purge’ myself of the calories I consumed. It became a way to punish myself for my sins. Every consumed calorie had to be deleted or expelled.
There was going to be no break or exercise ‘off day’ if there was food around.I ate and I exercised. This became my life and still is today.
This condition is termed over-exercise disorder. Individuals can do up to 8hrs a day of exercise. It is as equally harmful to the body and mind as anorexia. Here’s a short list of examples describing the condition and its consequences:
- No 'off days’: the body will get tired, it won’t recover properly leading to muscle fatigue, loss of strength, injury, joint damage and muscle wasting.
- Amenorrhoea: stress put on the body due to exercise and in some cases low body fat %, can result in the body telling you, 'Nope, you ain’t having kids like this’. This is just a protective and survival mechanism to prevent against miscarriage and still births. It is saying that yes you are fit, but not fit enough for kids.
- Loss of social life: a person who has to exercise 3-8+ hours a day will have no time to go out, keep to social commitments, go for parties, hangout with friends, etc. This can have a reciprocal detrimental impact on mental health.
- Can’t eat meals late at night: Eating out at night can be a troublesome task as most junkies need to exercise after - which becomes difficult if you are eating out in the city at 9pm…
- Difficulty keeping a job or studying: having to wake up at 4am to fit in a 3hour session in the morning and then coming home at 7pm with about 3 more hours to complete…Overall, if you have over-exercise disorder you’d most likely be fit. But are you really fit?

Much love,

Gareth Bale had an Exclusive Interview With Sport Magazine The Uk | 30 January 2015it’s important to have variety: we all bring different strengths to the team We have a strong squad, but more than that we have the right mixture as well. I think that is showing more and more this season, now that we’ve all started to gel together.“A new language was probably the biggest challenge, to be honest. The important thing is that I now understand the team talks and what people are saying. It’ll still be a bit of time before I’m able to speak Spanish better, but I have lessons every week and I’m improving all the time. But when it comes to football, I’ve always had confidence in myself and my ability.”“After the Copa del Rey, we came back late in the night and the whole city was alive, even at that hour. I remember a few of us in the team speaking and saying: ‘Imagine if we won the Champions League, what it’ll be like – it will be 10-times bigger.’“Carlo is quite laidback,” says Bale. “He gives us the confidence to go on to the pitch and express ourselves. But it’s the closeness and connection that he has with the players that’s really special – he makes footballers want to run themselves into the ground for him.” Read More
for real. reading the history of the laws (the many laws) written to keep blacks away from anything empowering is quite dizzying and housing discrimination was a big one. laws keeping and taking land from blacks go way back (for example) and as society progressed, it morphed to fit the times. nowadays it’s housing discrimination and it’s rampant.
Shonda Rhimes needs to make a show for Black kids and let him star.
How ironic. I was just talking about this.
This shit is serious. Gentrification is an issue. Housing discrimination is real.
True stories:
-A Black family moving into a suburban neighborhood actually would lower the prices of homes. Because all the White people would try to move out as soon as possible.
-If the new suburb was next to a non-White neighborhood, a fence could be put up “for safety” to instantly raise property values.
-Have you heard the term redline/-ing? It refers to the practice of corporations color coding a region and not investing in or refusing service to those from certain (red) areas. These were usually poor Black neighborhoods. This included refusing those in redlined areas access to jobs, loans, medical care, etc.
-Many older developments that were predominately home to poor PoC were destroyed with the promise of a new development or a suburb. This almost never happened and left the country with a shortage of affordable housing that still exists today.
-“Between 1934 and 1962, the federal government backed $120 billion of home loans. More than 98% went to whites. Of the 350,000 new homes built with federal support in northern California between 1946 and 1960, fewer than 100 went to African Americans.” http://newsreel.org/guides/race/whiteadv.htmWhite people whose family has owned homes since the mid 20th century: The financial success and safety of our families and ourselves is completely based on racism. Never forget that.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Housing_ActThis needs more notes. People need to know just how this society made it a point at every turn to hold (and still hold today) Black people down for the benefit of whites.
A huge part of white wealth was created through real estate. A sector that Black people were systematically kept out of. A sector now where Black people are still preyed upon.
