Tea

A note from the author: Reading back on my "frightening" dream, I've come to the conclusion that it was more humorous to recall than frightening... though in quite the unorthodox manner.

Although it is highly esteemed for the ECGC that it contains, green tea is not the only tea that contributes to weight loss. To break a bit of the monotony (albeit tasty monotony), I've composed a list of other teas that are quite helpful as well. Before this list commences, I would like to note that I'm fond of cats (which has likely made itself apparent by now). They'll be accompanying your tea today.

Oolong Tea

 

Oolong tea boosts the metabolism, along with aiding digestion; strengthening teeth; and complimenting a healthy complexion. It's frequently served at Chinese restaurants, so ordering it with your meal might be a good compliment to strengthening your metabolic rate whilst eating.

Rooibos Tea

Rooibos teas contribute to healthy digestion, as well as providing some comfort to a nagging or sour tummy.

Black Tea

Black teas are handy for a small energy boost, as they contain about 20% of the caffeine present in a cup of coffee. They're also handy for maintaining a healthy circulatory and cardiovascular system.

On a personal note: I had a very unusual eating disordered dream tonight. I have binge dreams on occasion, but this one was much more frightening. I dreamt that I was in a public bathroom, and there were full-length mirrors in every stall. When I noticed the first one, I lifted my shirt as I would normally do to check the shape of my stomach. Of course, it didn't look as I thought that it should, and it threw me into a mad panic. I dashed from stall to stall, examining myself in every mirror. I took balls of toilet paper and tried to wipe my stomach off (I've never done that), but I wasn't able to. I left the restroom eventually, and somehow ended up in an eating disorder clinic which looked like a house. Men greeted me at the door, and assured me that I would be the only person in the clinic. I'd receive all of the help that the staff had to offer, because I'd essentially be in the spotlight. I was terrified, so I broke away from the terror I felt and just... ran. I must have ran far enough to escape the dream, because everything morphed into a new setting with new plots.

I can't properly explain how strange it was to me. It must have been stemmed from the anxiety I've been wrought with whilst miserably sleep-deprived. I need more psych meds.
