choking on water is the worst because how do you stop choking? drink something? well ive got some bad news for you
Lean your head forward, preferably to knee level, and let the water kind of drain out of your mouth. When your are able to, take deep slow breaths. No heimlich maneuver or physical assists from somebody else should be used beyond this, otherwise you could vomit and escalate the issue. Its about keeping the larynx open. Hopefully this helps.
Reblog to fucking save a life.
"I wouldn't want to bother anyone," I say as the thing inside of me eats me alive.
Ok guys, my bestie is pregnant. Is there anything you guys would recommend? Both for her and the baby. Im going to put together two gifts, one thats just for her and one thats just for the baby. If there’s anything you guys swear by or anything, please let me know!
For the baby, even if there’s a super cute baby book you know of, let me know!
Thank you all!!!
I've decided to use the term "convenience food" instead of "junk food."
I think it's more honest, and less loaded. It's all food, some of it is more appropriate when you don't have the spoons left for food prep. It takes slightly more energy to peel a banana than to open a bag of chips.
We try to save the convenience food for days when we need something easy, so eat a banana.
ENNH! WRONG ANSWER
All food fuels your body. If it contains calories, it is fuel. Some foods are denser fuels, some foods have nice additional benefits, but all foods fuel you.
Some foods are really good for building muscle, or supporting your bone health, or giving you energy. Some foods are really good at tasting nice. All of them fuel your body.
Good food/bad food is just puritan dichotomous thinking in service of the Shame Industrial Complex- let's get those "should" hooks intob everything you enjoy.
Food is fuel. Your relationship with it is personal. Almost all dichotomies oversimplify beyond utility.
So, I had to do a bunch of therapy as a kid because I had anorexia. My dietician drilled into me "food has no moral value. there's no such thing as Good Food or Bad Food; if it's edible and you're not allergic to it, then it has a use in your diet, even if that use is just 'enjoy eating it'. Enjoyment is part of your diet and happiness is a vital nutrient." Basically, even if ice cream "isn't healthy," if it helps you feel better after a shitty day then it's fulfilling one of your basic needs: happiness. So eat the fucking ice cream and feel better.
ENJOYMENT IS PART OF YOUR DIET AND HAPPINESS IS A NUTRIENT
Moderation, in all things. Eat too many carrots and you can die too.
my disordered eating experience is that the only true junk food is the food I can’t bring myself to eat. nothing you actually swallow is wasted (unless you have a more specific situation). sugars, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, the body can turn it all into Being Alive. virtue? not so much.
considering how much money I spend on food and how little of it /I/ actually manage to wind up eating, yeah, I’d call that junk food!! cygnahime, thank you so much for your comment
I can’t believe i’m being MADE to put in WORK to get a CAREER. I’m literally just a girl who likes to go on walks
honestly? fruit is love. peeling an orange and sharing the segments. that post about the husband making an apple & cheese platter for his wife. I bought a cantaloupe at the store and was too tired to cut it up, and then this morning my dad said “hey I cut up that cantaloupe for you it’s in the fridge.” cherries on top of milkshakes with two straws. a margarita with a lime slice purchased at a bar for a potential lover. fruit is love
