self esteem boosters

Please help me. I keep asking my father to stop slapping my ass. I told him I don't like it. He replied, "well you're going to have to get used to it when you get a boyfriend". My twelve year old self didn't know how to respond, but now I see how wrong that was. I'm 21 now and still live at home, and he still does it and laughs when I get pissed. I find myself hiding from him now. Also a guy friend of mine did it and it was extremely triggering but he laughed in my face too!!

Tell him again as an adult, firmly, that you find it inappropriate. If he says you’ll have to deal with it from a boyfriend, remind him that being a woman doesn’t make your body public property. If he laughs at that, you need to tell someone you trust who can talk to him (mom, friends of the family, counselor, professor) and honestly, you need to get the hell out of there.

I know it’s difficult to find a place to live when you’re young, but if you aren’t comfortable at home, you shouldn’t be there. You can give him lots of information about how talk like that to young girls just results in more rape culture and see if he’ll listen to you seriously, but if not, it’s time to fly from the nest.

I know this sounds pathetic, but I just feel insanely unattractive when I see pictures of really attractive women and at times jealous even. I get into this cycle of self pity and I always think that their lives are inherently better than mine. Do you have any advice on how I could change my attitude?

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 21:13:17 -0400

Ugh, welcome to womanhood! Actually, welcome to the human race. I do this too. I see a pretty, usually thin, well dressed girl my age and I’m like, ‘wow, my life sucks and hers is awesome and she’s probably rich and staying in that nice hotel with a great boyfriend and career and travels all the time and wahwahwah.’ But for all I know, she searched for her shoes online to get them half off, or her great purse is a knockoff, or her jeans are from TJMaxx. She might be a student, or a waitress, or a genius, or unemployed. I have no idea.

I have to remind myself of this every time I see this people. You can dress yourself up and strut through the streets and I promise, people are doing it to you too. They think you’ve got money and hot friends and a perfect, fabulous life, but you know that isn’t true. Even if they do have a fancy life, it doesn’t matter and it doesn’t make yours worse.

Remind yourself that you know nothing about that woman, first of all. Then, say fuck it, who cares even if she is the Queen of France, I have to focus on me. Think about your career or studies or big dreams and indulge in those. You’re a fabulous woman with a beautiful life, embrace that and shine it out. If your life isn’t where you want it to be, figure out what you want to do to change that.

To put it simply instead of this long rambling thing, be really selfish, and be really fucking happy about it.

How to lose the weight and keep it off Ask yourself why you...

How to lose the weight and keep it off

Ask yourself why you want to lose weight. Because you hate your reflection? If so, I can gaurentee you’ll hate yourself when you’re thinner. If you don’t love every bit of yourself, a different size body won’t change that perspective. Getting skinny for bathing suit season is a short, shitty reason and you’ll lose the motivation quickly. Do you have a family history of diabetes? Feel generally crappy from processed foods? Want to run a 5k? These are kickass reasons.
Get informed. Read all about fitness from credible sources. Stay away from anything promising to help you drop 10 pounds in 10 days. Ignore the people yapping in your ear at the gym about pyramid sets - you already have a routine. Don’t be swayed by the girl in your office trying to convince you to eat 500 calories a day.
Stop counting calories. Your body is not a calculator. It’s impossible to tell how many calories you’ve burned on every trip across the building or time your heart-rate sky rocketed from seeing a cute boy/girl. You can’t gaurentee the number of calories in your apple matches the calories in a database. Eat whole foods whenever you’re hungry and try not to obsess over numbers. Math sucks anyway
Whatahhhh! Drink tons of water. Make a water drinking schedule. If you feel irrationally hungry an hour after you just ate, drink a full glass of water. Still hungry? Go eat, but chances are you were probably just dehydrated! The fit live in the bathroom more than the gym. Get used to it.
Set small and big goals. Jog around the block by the end of the week. Drink a liter of water every day. Squat your bodyweight by the end of the summer. Become a yoga teacher in 5 years. Small steps lead to big dreams.
Find a workout you like. Not everyone is a runner. Not everyone loves yoga. Figure out what works for you and you’ll do it whenever you get the time
Start by adding instead of cutting. Add in two servings of fruit and veggies every day on top of whatever you eat regularly. If you feel like you can’t eat everything, make smaller portions. Do you really desperately need those Cheetos today?
Indulge yourself. Cook natural whole foods for yourself. Try out new recipes until you find what you absolutely can’t live without (yumm greek omelets). Take the time to make real, well rounded meals. Pack tons of fruits, veggies, whole grains and protein to take with you to school/work/travel. Find a discount grocery store/farmers market near you where you can buy lots of fruits and veggies for cheap (frozen does count too!)
Forgive yourself. You’re going to miss workouts. You’re going to eat pizza sometimes. IT IS OKAY. Don’t consider it cheating, that implies guilt. Just move along and continue to make healthy choices. Remember, healthy decisions are healthy for the body and mind/soul. Sometimes the mind/soul needs cake.
Try the ‘two’ rule. If you eat one processed unhealthy meal, follow it up with a healthy one. If you miss one workout, try really hard not to miss the next one.
Take rest days. Never work the same muscles two days in a row. Have at least one full day off. If you’re legs are still killing you even though today is leg day, skip it and do some yoga or stretching instead. If you feel sick or generally under the weather, please skip the gym. You’ll only make yourself worse and spread the germs.
Don’t get frustrated if you don’t see results immediately. Give your body some time to work
Follow the 80:20 ratio. Eat fantastic whole foods 80% of the time, then indulge for 20%. Eating waffles or cheesecake or pizza once or twice a week stops you from having dreams of ice cream dancing in fields of candy, or from you trying to kill your coworkers for bringing in donuts.
Make it a lifestyle. Run charity 5ks on the weekend, go to yoga with your girlfriends, help your mom cook dinner and incorporate healthy stuff together, take your man/woman to the farmer’s market on a date. Make it fun and fabulous to be healthy.
Ditch the thinspo. If you’re 5 feet tall and curvy, you are not going to look like Gwyneth Paltrow. Focus on being the healthiest, happiest, strongest, most kickass version of you. Nothing beautiful has ever come from shame and guilt.

I can promise you that the greatest thing you accomplish in life will not be the size of your jeans....

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 13:19:53 -0400

I can promise you that the greatest thing you accomplish in life will not be the size of your jeans. It will not even make the greatest hits list.

One day, you will wake up and realize you:

have beautiful children
taught your dog to hi-five
finished high school
finished college
got your master’s degree
realized what you really want to do, and it’s not what you went to school for
got to level 67 in Tetris
made someone laugh
wrote a novel
read every novel on your bookshelf
built your very own furniture
painted a picture
gave your mother a gift that made her cry
saw another state
saw another country
saw the world
wrote it all down
took pictures that make people weep and smile at the same time
saved someone’s life
made someone you’ve never met in real life feel better
gave a drive by compliment that changed someone’s day
got your dream job
created your dream job
said yes when everyone said no until you got what you wanted
got out of bed no matter how sad you were

I've hated my smile every since I realized it wasn't even and it never leaves my mind. My teeth are straight and fine it's the lip itself that is uneven. I can't smile without one side (the left side) going up higher then the other and it ruins me inside. I've literally restrained from taking pictures of myself for profile pictures (like for facebook) because I hate it so much. No matter how many times I seem to tell myself I'm pretty or look at something I like on my face it never works.

Wed, 29 May 2013 08:47:08 -0400

My smile isn’t even either! It’s rare that someone’s is (they’ve usually had braces or they’re a celebrity with caps) and even then your face just is not symmetrical. There are entire discussions about the symmetry of faces. Like, I got credit to take that class in college. If you cut your face in half….that would be weird. But if you could put a line down your face and cover one half with a paper or something and take pictures of both sides, no one’s would ever be even. It’s supposed to be that way! Embrace it. Quirks are beautiful and attractive. I only have one dimple (the left!) and I used to hate that. I’ve decided to love it instead.

These are celebrity faces shopped to be symmetrical.

I just wanted to give you a complete and hearty thank you. You are the fucking best, like seriously, I know this sounds cheesy, but I would have ended things so long ago, had it not been for you. Thank you for just being there and awesome, and I wish I could return the favor, but I know that there would be no way I could pay back this enormous debt.

Wed, 29 May 2013 08:24:11 -0400

I honestly don’t know what to say to this, except that it made me cry a lot. I’m not going to lie, I ugly cried. It’s not even a little cheesy, it’s insanely brave and I’m just in awe of anyone who has ever even had the thought of ending things, then stepped back from the edge. This is the greatest thing I can hear. Seriously, if this was the only time anyone thanked me ever, I would keep doing this for a thousand years. Thank you so much.

Tue, 28 May 2013 17:46:00 -0400

If you’re craving chocolate, you need…a piece of chocolate! (or a bar, whatever we aren’t judging you)

If you’re craving salty snacks, you need…chips or popcorn or pretzels!

If you’re craving bread, you need…a bagel or toast or a muffin!

If you’re craving revenge, you need…duct tape, hefty bags, and a quiet space!

(I get that the ‘if you’re craving “x” you really need healthier alternative “y” posts are well intentioned but sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Sometimes your chocolate craving will only be satiated with a giant hershey’s bar. So fuck trying to fill your craving with fruit and rice cakes and sad excuses for carbs, if you crave it, eat it! This way you’re less likely to eat the entire fridge when the craving gets bad enough or take out someone’s eye for asking you what you’d like to eat tonight!)

No Pants Kitchen - Flourless & Oil Free Oatmeal Peanut...

No Pants Kitchen - Flourless & Oil Free Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Last night I was thinking about my love of these flourless chocolate chip cookies and my reluctance to put on pants to go buy anything from the store, which is a daily battle. I really wanted the cookies but I was out of oil, so I figured I’d try peanut butter as a binding agent because it’s a fat, and plus, PEANUT BUTTER. Who doesn’t love peanut butter? If you don’t eat it straight from the jar, you’re lying or allergic. If you’re allergic, I’m terribly sorry because these are delicious and peanut butter and chocolate never fails! You could substitute almond butter or something if you’re allergic to peanut butter and it would definitely still work. Learn to make your own here!

So, let’s get down to these peanut butter chocolate chip pieces of heaveny goodness (or hellish goodness? hell is for gluttons like us, right?)

3/4 cup oats
1/4 t baking soda
2 T brown sugar
1 heaping T white sugar or whatever your substitute is (some substitutes bake sucky, so just use real fucking sugar this one time. your waist line won’t care, promise)
1/4 t vanilla
2 T milk or your milk alternative
1 T peanut butter or whatever nut butter is your jam (organic is great but I mean, whatever you’ve got, man. Chunky, smooth, who cares? Peanut butter is amazing regardless)
handful (two if you have freakishly small hands like me and feel like handfuls always cheat you) of chocolate chips or white chocolate chips or a broken up Kit Kat bar that you found in between your car seats

Throw all that shit in a blender or food processor or smash with your own hands if need be (if you use the hand smashing method, these will be more flakes of oatmeal-y, but whatever, oatmeal is awesome). I know, it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of dough, you’re making this for yourself because you live alone and don’t wear pants. Stick the bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes. *Protip: it gets colder quicker if you stop opening the door to steal bites. Take it out in less than 15 minutes, because who are we kidding? Form into small, vaguely cookie-shaped balls. Put on greased aluminum foil on cookie sheet so you don’t have to wash the cookie sheet. Cook for 8-10 minutes. This shit cooks fast. If they look wet at 8 minutes, check back in like 8 minutes and 30 seconds because seriously.

Makes approx half a dozen cookies if you didn’t eat a bunch of dough. Devour it all yourself anyway. Don’t ever bother to put those pants back on.

So in my apartment complex we have a gym for the residents. I want to start going to the gym and try to get in shape, but I'm embarrassed to go because the only thing I know how to use is the treadmill...

Sun, 26 May 2013 22:33:00 -0400

It’s terrifying, I’m with you! Going to the gym is like walking into a new world and everyone has their headphones in and is super into their machine/workout. That is actually a positive! They aren’t looking at you. They’re thinking about how much they’re lifting, trying not to fall over or throw up, or hoping they aren’t using a machine wrong. I’ve been going to my gym for two years and I still tentatively approach machines like a scared animal. I walk by, circle it, do some bicep curls, see if I can spy on someone using the machine and then try to replicate it.

Now, I don’t advocate machine usage. They don’t require stabilizing muscles which is a big downer. You want to work as many muscles as you can like when you’re squatting, deadlifting, shoulder pressing etc. But I know that even squat racks are intimidating. I have asked many a man if he can please grab the barbell that someone has left on the top rung so I can reach it and just recently had someone stop me mid-workout to ask why I was using safety bars on the squat rack. Don’t ask someone mid-workout. And it was so I don’t fall on my ass with a 150 pounds on my shoulders, sir.

Most gyms will give you a walk-through or even one free trainer day. You never have to hire the trainer but you can ask ‘what the hell does this work?’ a thousand times. Even if it’s just the front desk person walking you through, you can still ask. Also, there are pictures on the machine that demonstrate what to do. If you’re nervous, take a walk through, do some workouts you know, and secretly spy on the machines and try to remember the names then google them when you get home. Bodybuilding.com has a great index of workouts per muscle and all the machines/free weights to do them with videos!

There’s this great article on Nerdfitness about having 20 seconds of courage (a la We Bought A Zoo when Matt Damon sees his wife sitting in a cafe and makes himself have 20 seconds of insane, embarrassing courage to go speak to her). Promise yourself 20 seconds of insane courage. Hey, look, you’re in the weight room and no one is staring at you. You’re standing at the lat pulldown machine. Awesome! You googled this one last night and know how to work it. You can’t figure out how to fix the seat but you can ask that nice looking girl/guy standing near you and they won’t mind one bit.

I promise every singe person who has ever stepped foot in a gym wanted to shit themselves because they were scared and confused and looked around like a lost puppy until someone stepped in and offered help or they stumbled through it on their own and now they own that weight room. No one is looking at you. Headphones in, eyes on yourself in the mirror, no one else exists. Unless you’re doing this

Then I can’t help you.

Sun, 26 May 2013 21:49:00 -0400

Aren’t we all grown up enough to realize that being a muscled woman doesn’t make you a man…? And that if this lovely woman did identify as a man that wouldn’t be a problem? Yay for transphobia and the basic fear of women that could kick your ass! What if we made commercials that celebrate how gorgeous and awesome strong women are instead of this? Comcast, please just

Sun, 26 May 2013 15:01:05 -0400

You do not need (often misreported) celebrity diets and workout plans to stay in shape. You don’t need supplements to be slim. You don’t even need a gym membership. All you need is determination and knowledge. Read accredited sites and hit up your doctor for nutritional advice. Get your heart rate up for thirty minutes a day three times a week. Lift weights. Run or jog or use the elliptical or dance like a crazy person. All you need is a yoga mat, youtube, and the ability to laugh at yourself to learn yoga. Eat veggies, fruit, whole grains and lean protein. Cook for yourself. Stop eating processed foods. If you can’t pronounce the ingredients on the package, don’t buy it. Moderation is key: eat healthy most of the time, but when you want that ice cream, just eat it and promise not to beat yourself up.

Being healthy and fit is simple, don’t complicate it. Only perseverance and consistence will get you to your healthiest body.

I normally don't like to verbalize my feelings or vent to others because I figure everyone has their own problems, they don't need to hear about mine, but lately it's been really building up. It'll be a year in July, but last year, I suffered from a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. It pretty much put my life on hold. Granted my life is much better now job & social circle wise, but I still can't help but feel lost & unsure about my life & future. Sorry, I know this is heavy ):

Sun, 26 May 2013 13:28:19 -0400

That’s awful! I am so sorry, darling. Yes, everyone has their own problems but that doesn’t make yours less important. People want to hear it! I do, your friends do, family, whoever, people here, you could even blog it. I bet you’ve got a hell of a story and telling it helps you work through it. It’s a cliche for a reason, talking it through or writing about it and the struggles it brings are really, really important. Use it to fuel your life, not deter it. You got through this, you can get through anything. You, more than most people, know that life is stressful and you need to embrace it and do whatever the hell you want. Start doing that right this second! Right now! Don’t let anything hold you back, you’re a stronger person for what you’ve been through.

I'm a black woman and recently I was told that black women were thought to be the least attractive of all women, and I feel like I see the evidence all over my small town. I've pretty much shut myself down and now I don't want to have ANYTHING to do with any guy OR girl. Honestly I find myself bitter, skeptical, and down on myself all the time and I'm ready to give up but no one will help me?

Sun, 26 May 2013 12:42:57 -0400

Why would black women be less attractive? You are some sexy ladies (just like ladies of every color/height/weight/physical sex are!) and you need to own that. If anyone dares even suggest that you are anything less than a goddess, they can go to hell. Once you embrace your own beauty and awesomeness, you’ll be open to other people loving you. You’re not just your looks, and this is important because this is why skin color doesn’t matter, you are smart, funny, witty, kind, compassionate and possess a whole bunch of cool skills (writing? dancing? singing? reading? competitive yodeling?) that make you who you are. And that person is amazing. You need to seriously rock that self love before you can love someone else.

The No-Pants Kitchen: Say hello to your healthy new snack

Roasted chickpeas are a ridiculously healthy, easy snack with endless possibilities. Do you like spicy stuff? You can do that. Sweet stuff? Chickpeas have got you covered. Savory? They’re all over that, too. Chickpeas are the LBD of food. Also they’re high in protein, and get super tiny when you cook them, so it’s not like, ‘oh, I can have 20 grams of protein if I stuff my face with twelve cans of this,’ so yay for that!

I’m assuming you have chickpeas in your kitchen and won’t need to put on pants to buy any. I mean, go search around in your parent’s cupboards, there’s probably a can and I don’t think this shit goes bad. You probably have one even if you live alone. They’re less than a dollar a can so you probably grabbed it once thinking you’d add it to a salad or do something radical like make your own hummus. This is way easier than hummus and tastes better than salad.

Your main instructions will always be:

Find a can of chickpeas. Rejoice. Ignore the dust on the top, it’s totally fine.
Preheat your oven to 305 F
Rinse your chickpeas. This means empty the can into a colander and rinse the shit out of it. It’s possible without a colander, but using a regular bowl means lots of escapees. Clean the sink and plug it before attempting that feat.
Dry your chickpeas. Rub them sensually with a papertowel. Some husks might come off, some won’t, no big. With the husks on they tend to get a little crispier but seriously, no big. The big deal is getting them dry as hell because chickpeas take for-fucking-ever to roast. Don’t attempt this when already starving.
While you whip up whatever you want your chickpeas rolled in, put the dried chickpeas on an aluminum foil lined cookie sheet (no one likes to wash a cookie sheet) in one layer and stick it in the oven. Don’t bother greasing it. Don’t panic. Seriously, these things take forever so even if you’re mixing 20 ingredients while they pre-bake, you’ll be fine.
When your spices are ready, take out your chickpeas and toss them in the spice bowl. Roll it around and stuff. Get them all covered evenly so none feel left out.
Stick it back in the oven. Total time (counting the first time they were baking naked) in the oven should be anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes. It’s super hard to burn chickpeas but you can do it if you really try. Keep an eye on them to make sure they aren’t burning, but don’t take them out too soon or they’ll be mushy in the middle and by roasting chickpeas we’re trying to unmush them into a crispy snack.
They cool pretty quickly so dump into a bowl and devour. Keep in a tupperware container with a sealed lid for a few days, but be warned, like popcorn, it’s just never as good the next day.

Super Basic Roasted Chickpeas: aka I have nothing in my kitchen/I’m a poor college kid/what is cooking?

Salt (sea salt if you’re fancy) pepper and olive oil. Follow my instructions above (please) so you don’t fuck up the most basic one.
Mix your salt, pepper and olive oil together and toss the chickpeas in it, or if you’re feeling lazy, just shake/pour onto the chickpeas when they’re on the pan.
If you have some garlic or onion or tomato or seriously anything you can Frankenstein in your fridge as long as it’s leaning in the spicy over sweet direction (meaning probs not strawberries or something) throw it on there too. Stick in oven. Bake. Don’t burn. Chow down and feel like you aren’t a broke college kid cause it tastes so good!

Savory: slightly more advanced, you might have to raid your parent’s kitchen again, or you have these ingredients because you bought them one time for some other recipe. Dig in the back of your cabinets.

Olive oil, pepper, salt, cayenne pepper (1/4 t don’t go nuts here), paprika, chili powder, half an onion sliced, garlic (this cooks fast, add it within the last 20 minutes of cooking). If you don’t have all of this stuff, it’s good, go with what you’ve got.
Add broccoli, kale, spinach or anything else green if you’re feeling fancy.
Wrap in a romaine leaf if feeling super fancy. It’s like a healthy taco, which should be an oxymoron but you did it because you kick ass.

Sweet: the most advanced because lots of wet stuff weighs down chickpeas and they take longer to cook. You probably have the whole day free and you desperately need sweets (awesome for PMS cravings)

1-2 T maple syrup
1-2 T honey
1t cinnamon, 1t nutmeg, 1t brown sugar (this cooks fast like garlic, add it within the last 10 - 15 minutes of cooking)
Take it out after 40 minutes and test one. If it’s soggy, throw them back in, these usually take longer to cook than the others.

I don't get out around people much due to anxiety issues. & when I do, I find everything that's funny but not hysterically funny just that. hysterically funny. I sometimes get to the point where I can't stop laughing I'm still giggling while trying to stop or I'll sit silently laughing. It's so embarrassing because I may look 'happy' outside but inside I'm dying trying to stop! This is ridiculous! What is wrong with me? :(

Mon, 20 May 2013 21:40:15 -0400

It’s nerves! They call it nervous laughter for a reason. I do this in situations with people I don’t know, or super cute people, or a really stressful situation. Hey, if you’re laughing, at least you aren’t crying.

Really though, it’s just nerves and you need to calm down inside. You need to work on your anxiety issues outside of the situation. When you have some time to be alone, take some time to work on that. What makes you so nervous? What can you do to make yourself less anxious in general? See a therapist? Talk it out with your parents/friends? Write, read, draw, sing, dance? Find tools necessary to talk yourself down from panicky situations. Literally talk to yourself. Remind yourself that you’re okay, these people are just people like you, breathe, in and out, inhale, exhale, hum a little song in your head, count down from a hundred, anything that takes your focus off the situation.

There is nothing wrong with you. You are not weird or alone.

I cut for a couple years & stopped when my depression improved. Now it's worse & I want to cut again. But I'm also terrified of someone finding out because they've said I will have to go to the hospital. It frustrates me & makes me want to cut more and I feel like I don't have an outlet for emotions, therapy isn't helping.

Mon, 20 May 2013 21:04:45 -0400

Remember that hiding it is because you know, somewhere inside, it’s dangerous and ugly to your soul. Your therapist has probably said this, but instead of destruction, you need create. Less self destruction, more self creation! Draw something. Draw it on yourself! Paint, sing, dance, yoga, cry in bed, lay on your floor and ponder the universe, walk outside, stand beneath the sun and remind yourself how lucky you are to be on this crazy, spinning sphere. You’re totally right that you need a new outlet. There are so many great things to do, like reading books or screaming or running until you run out of energy. No matter how upset or crushed you are, you must love yourself. I’ve said it a million times but your body is the house you grew up in, stop destroying it.

And remember, there are so many reasons to stay and live a beautiful life.

I bet if we asked random people off the street - skinny, fat, old, young - if they ate all their fruits & veggies and drank 64 oz of water today, 99% would say no. Maybe then we could stop exclusively using fat people as representations of an unhealthy nation.

Do you usually answer all of the questions you get? You're doing a fantastic job and I love your dedication to your blog. Keep it up <3

Mon, 20 May 2013 20:26:52 -0400

Yes! Sometimes it takes a while because I have work and life and getting sucked into Buzzfeed, but I always clear out my inbox. If your answer doesn’t come out in two weeks, resend it because we all know Tumblr eats messages for breakfast.
