  • Biggest Loser!

    Biggest Loser? Kind of awesome motivation. One, to never get that big... Two, to work just as hard as the people on there. Watching them lose what I need to lose in, what, two weeks? Come on, I can work like that. I'm always in that limbo, just so you know, when I return to xanga, of deciding to be healthy or not.

    Right now. I'm here. So, yeah.

  • Despite my earlier!

    I'm still having issues.


    Deciphering reflections from reality... ...

    I really like that song. (Death Cab For Cutie <3)
    Anyway, I was under my calorie allowance today and trying to find something decent to eat that was somewhat healthy.

    I felt so dumb--I could not determine if something was good for me or not!
    I kept thinking, "that's too much sugar"... "too many carbs" ..."too many calories"...
    Percentages were too "high".

    It all seems related, yeah, I know.


    ANyway
    What I was looking at: A Special K cereal bar, a couple of different protein bars, a fiber bar, fruit, Raisin Bran.

    Nothing that is ALL that bad for me.


    It's difficult to decide that something over 100-some calories is any good for me.


    Can someone do some sort of post about nutrition!?

    lol, it'd be much appreciated.
    I know my brain's not right, but I'm not sure what is.

    Of your food.
    Really!

    Pregnant women eating healthy


    You starve and starve and starve, meanwhile your metabolism shuts down...
    And when the hunger becomes too much, you will binge.
    You'll binge on the most unhealthy stuff--too much, too much!
    And some of you will purge, while others go work out and still others sit, depressed, disappointed with themselves and their self control.

    In all cases, you gain.

    The real self control? Being in control of your life!
    Being able to eat healthily--with yummy food. And indulging a little bit...
    Without it destroying your past week's effort to be good.


    It's all about trying for a healthy diet, and a healthy lifestyle.
    Yes, those pounds don't come off as quickly.
    But when they DO come off (and they will, with a good diet and a healthy amount of exercise)
    they will be permanent and they will come from the right places!
    They won't be water weight.
    They won't come from the deterioration of your internal organs.
    And you will be happy.


    Seeing the scale go down is a euphoric experience.
    Doing it the right way is a euphoric lifestyle.



    That being said, we all want to crumble sometimes--grab a bag of Cheetos,
    maybe eat that entire pint of Ben & Jerry's.
    For this, we have people we see as inspiration to keep up our good habits,
    and remember what we want.



    My favorite? Emma Watson. :)

  • Oscillation

    between wanting to be healthy and wanting just to lose my mind, lose it all.


    I don't know.

    I think that means I'm recovered.
    As stupid as that sounds when I say my mind keeps changing, back and forth,
    between my old anorexic mindset and my new need-to-be-healthy mindset.

    I remember what it was like last time.
    I remember being that thin girl.
    I remember the hospital--loving and hating every single bit of it.

    But this time, it's not love and hate of myself for doing that to myself...
    It's different, and I can't explain.
    I love losing weight. But I also love this feeling of my muscles being sore.
    Being able to work out without being dizzy and lightheaded.
    Being able to work out hard and without reserves--like I wasn't able to when I ate half an apple a day.
    Being able to eat without feeling completely disgusted with myself.
    It's a new type of control.


    I know I'm still in danger.
    I tend to go "oh, I'll eat 1200 on a regular basis".
    Then I get used to that, and I eat 100 calories less...
    then 200 calories less...
    and then 300 less--
    And it becomes bad again.

    But I'm happy right now.
    And I wish it would stay this way.

    I can see this recovered self.

    But it's so scary because I see the other One lurking so near by.




    Does anyone else know what I mean?

  • My Weakness

    [challenge: blog your absolute weakness. try it with thinspo. or reverse thinspo. something that will associate your weakness with your want of success. hopefully, next time you think of it/reach for it/remotely come near it, you'll think of your goals. how badly do you want it?]

    Absolutely, without a doubt, mine is Coca Cola.
