&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ok.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take a deep breath and put your thinking cap on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m going to hit you with some wisdom, k?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take your weight loss calorie goal, and just toss that number out the window. We’re not going to talk about that right now. We’re going to talk about that minor (or major) freak out we sometimes have when we’re having a really good week, eating really well, then we lose our damn minds and stuff our faces with delicious delicious junk food.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2000 calories is about what your body needs to maintain your weight and keep all your organs doing all those lovely keeping you alive things that they do. Your body burns all those calories&lt;strong&gt; at rest&lt;/strong&gt;. That means that while you’re sitting on your ass, walking to the fridge and back, scrolling through tumblr, etc etc.. your body is making you breathe and make new cells and shit and burns those 2000 calories.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To gain a single pound, you’d have to eat another 3500 calories on top of those 2000. &lt;strong&gt;Thats 5500 calories.&lt;/strong&gt; 5500 calories is a fucking lot of calories, okay? Lets take a look at what 5500 calories looks like.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;One slice of a large pepperoni pizza from pizza hut is 330 calories. You’d have to eat a little over 2 entire large pepperoni pizzas to hit 5500 calories.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;One crunchy taco from taco bell is 170 calories. To eat 5500 calories, you’d have to eat 32 tacos.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;One double cheeseburger from mcdonalds is 440 calories. 12 of those is 5500 calories.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;21 cheetos are 160 calories. 714 cheetos are 5500 calories.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Was whatever junk you ate probably a bad choice health-wise? Probably.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did you ruin all your progress? No.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did you even eat enough to gain an entire whole pound? Nooope.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you going to survive, drink some water, go for a walk or run in the morning, and forgive yourself? Yep. You are.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Know why?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cause shit happens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But we move on, and we stay determined, and we get fucking results because thats how bad we want it. You started this journey, and you’re going to finish it. One bump in the road is just that. A little bump in your road.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, k. Stop freaking out. Forgive yourself. You had a bad night but you’re going to make better choices next time. Now go drink that glass of water, take an advil, do some exercise, and remember that you’re a badass fitblr too full of determination to have any room for fucks to give.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I fucking love this. So right.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This fucking post. So much yes!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JUST HAPPENED TO ME, REALLY NEEDED THIS 🙏&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Love this!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://marionannednan.tumblr.com/post/53302439638</link><guid>http://marionannednan.tumblr.com/post/53302439638</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:46:18 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>discoveringfeminism:

He doesn’t sing in..."</title><description>“&lt;p&gt;For most of America, Psy is a funny name, a funny face, and a funny personality. He doesn’t sing in English and most people just don’t get it leaving most of them to not take him seriously. It’s easy to strip the significance behind “Gangnam Style” down if you don’t know what it means and solely find entertainment in the Asian guy shaking his hips. But what most people don’t realize is that Psy doesn’t take himself seriously. He’s a satirist and political dissident. “Gangnam Style” was a commentary, not just a fun pop tune with a silly dance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gangnam is Seoul’s wealthiest and flashiest neighborhood. For South Koreans, Gangnam represents the ideal life of excess and consumerism. Psy’s character in the video is a wannabe Gangnamite. He dreams he’s living the flashy, excessive lifestyle while he’s really just like everyone else, swimming in a public pool and riding the subway. But never in the video does it seem that Psy’s character is unhappy. He’s content to play in a children’s playground and meet the girl of his dreams in the subway. “Gangnam Style” is much more that we have made it, but that’s not surprising considering Psy’s background and how little we know about it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In America, it seems like “Gangnam Style” was Psy’s big break when in fact the song had been released on his sixth studio album and his music career hadn’t been about making flashy and catchy songs. He believes music is the key to overcoming the intolerance embedded in his country’s political systems. Throughout his career, his songs have been banned for inappropriate content and have been surrounded by controversy, not to mention the fact that he fought his mandatory military draft.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Psy is a voice for his people. He’s fighting the oppression and intolerance he sees in his culture through his music. And by ignoring his worth and his value, we’re reducing the culture of South Korea into a short man with funny pants doing a ridiculous dance.&lt;/p&gt;”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pegasusnews.com/news/2013/jun/06/opinion-american-media-chooses-undervalue-artists-/"&gt;Opinion: American media chooses to undervalue artists like Psy from “Gangnam Style”&lt;/a&gt;  (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://kpop-confessions.tumblr.com/"&gt;kpop-confessions&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://marionannednan.tumblr.com/post/53125044445</link><guid>http://marionannednan.tumblr.com/post/53125044445</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:43:26 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>itsdeepforhappypeople:

&lt;p&gt;Reverse gender stereotypes at the gym&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aaahhhh get on my dash you amusing thing you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I kinda love it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this is actually great from an acting perspective.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the actors actually played the opposite gender instead of just relying on stereotypes (ironically enough) to portray that they were, in fact, the opposite gender. Usually if you tell a guy to act like a girl, he begins playing by the homosexual stereotype (faking a lisp, popping the hip, etc.) and while it accentuates femininity, it’s really uncomfortable and forced, making it just seem like he’s playing a stereotype instead of the actual gender. And girls will do this too; being told to play a male and instead just deepening the voice and say “dude” and “bro” a lot (although these are more common among modern practices).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The males played up femininity without coming off as a forced stereotype and the females played up masculinity and machismo without forcing their performance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;also the video is funny and I kind of forgot the point I was making.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gwendoline Christie is the actress for Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones. She stands at 6 feet 3 inches tall and took swordfighting, horseriding, and stagefighting lessons for her part, as well as gaining 14 pounds of muscle, to accurately portray Brienne. (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwendoline_Christie"&gt;x&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She was also terrified of cutting her hair because she’d spent her life believing it was one of the only things that would make people see her as feminine despite her height. In an interview with TV Guide she said:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I struggled for a long time with [cutting] my hair, but then I’m grateful for the opportunity to realize that femininity doesn’t have to come from hair or any of those traditional female archetypes of appearance, So, that’s been exciting actually. I can’t speak with any kind of authority whatsoever because I’m just an actor and I only have my opinions, but I do think it’s really refreshing to have a woman depicted on a mainstream TV show that doesn’t obey typical aesthetics of females and the way they have been portrayed in the past. And I’m really excited to be portraying one of those women. And I hope that her popularity signals a greater expansion of people’s views about men and women and that gender types can be more flexible.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She’s so beautiful!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love her!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’re both the same height! it’s so exciting to see a true Kick ass Amazon on tv!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My favorite thing about her portrayal is that they don’t try to pretty her up. She’s a visibly beautiful girl, but she’s not a knight in a fucking dress, ya know? And they don’t play around with her height. She’s got inches on Jamie Lannister and they never try to play that down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If there is a character that I’m most proud of in Game of Thrones, it is Brienne of Tarth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://marionannednan.tumblr.com/post/53124416142</link><guid>http://marionannednan.tumblr.com/post/53124416142</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:34:16 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0e47c3e21f9ed77e7d95f00ad388d477/tumblr_mo5th95hNW1qkwee2o1_500.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://marionannednan.tumblr.com/post/53124276004</link><guid>http://marionannednan.tumblr.com/post/53124276004</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:32:13 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a2f85aab43377dfb823ca7a167b7c746/tumblr_mo5x0erfvF1r8wb5ko1_250.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/65d62122e4d4f9dde5385003e3c92ddf/tumblr_mo5x0erfvF1r8wb5ko2_250.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://marionannednan.tumblr.com/post/53123702467</link><guid>http://marionannednan.tumblr.com/post/53123702467</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:23:47 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>thehealthywarrior:

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“For the past few days, peaceful Turkish citizens have been protesting the demolition of Taksim Gezi Park, one of the few green areas left in the center of Istan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show"&gt;bul. The plan by the Erdogan-run AKP government is to build a large shopping center instead, benefitting his own interests and filling his own pockets.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What started with a mere 100 protestors turned into tens of thousands over the course of a few days. People camped out in the park, sang songs, read books, danced. I was there yesterday and it was heartwarming.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prime Minister Erdogan made a public announcement two days ago stating, ‘We have made up our minds’, and that nothing will stop his plans to destroy the park.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He subsequently ordered his police forces to attack protestors in the park using water cannons and tear gas without warning in the early hours of the morning.&lt;/strong&gt; This has been happening for the past two days, and continues as I write these words. &lt;span&gt;Tents were burned as people slept in them, innocent citizens were dragged away and had tear gas sprayed directly into their faces, kicked and punched where they were on the ground. Bystanders on their way to work also got sprayed. The center of Istanbul is now a war-zone. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Innocent people are being attacked, injured and hospitalised &lt;strong&gt; There are unofficial reports of one person being dead with his ID confiscated by officials&lt;/strong&gt; (an eerie replay of the May 1 attacks when an innocent young girl was put into a coma due to tear gas attacks. This girl was later labeled by the government as a terrorist)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt;This has become a matter about more than just saving trees. This has always been about more than that. This is an ‘I can do whatever I damn well want’, fascist mentality that not only heavily suppresses but openly attacks its own people.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;To make matters worse, media channels are being censored so as not to display the news.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#direngeziparki is now the 2nd worldwide trending topic on Twitter.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As our friends overseas, we need your help. Send this message to everyone you know. Amnesty International has already announced it condemns the use of excessive force against the protestors, and has called on the Turkish police to stop the use of violence, and to respect the protestors’ rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression. But it hasn’t helped. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show"&gt;The protests have and will continue despite the abuse but it needs all the attention it can get, especially considering Turkish news channels heavily alter and misrepresent the nature of what is actually occurring in the heart of Istanbul. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please create awareness internationally about our plight, or matters are going to get much, much worse. We want all international media channels - soclal and mass - to report this news.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Please help us to share this message and stop Erdogan’s ruthless, inhumane acts. In a never-ending series of human rights abuses that have occurred under his leadership, this is the last straw.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
