an admission
Haven’t been posting very often because I have been struggling with my own approach. It’s really hard sometimes not to give in and do this the unhealthy way, especially on Tumblr where sometimes all there is is a bunch of pictures of fit and also tiny ladies. And sometimes all I see in the mirror is the same overfat girl I’ve always been.
The goal is seeming kind of...
new clothes
At what point is it okay to start buying new clothes? I can still wear all of my old clothes with the exception of a skirt that I gave to my mom, but I don’t have the most impressive cash flow. My measurements are just confusing… I’m a severe pear shape. My upper body is a size 10-ish, but my lower body is still at least 14. And I haven’t bought a new non-workout pair of...

for the unlucky in love
There is a girl on my Facebook that I worked with a couple years ago, who is constantly falling in and out of relationships - she’s had three boyfriends so far this month - and talking about how there are no good guys left, how all the men in the world are liars and cheaters. She has a one-year-old kid and I think she really wants a father figure for him, but whatever she’s doing is...
first lack of motivation!
I just had this really unhealthy week where I either ate waaaay too little or waaaay too much, mostly because I was eating things I can’t track very well because people wanted to celebrate graduation…
And now I’m on track to eat too little again for another night (865 calories) … I almost feel like depriving myself is the punishment for eating too much on some days last...
180, whee!
Been a while. Sorry about inactivity. Finals and the end of college forever did it to me. I also took a well needed vacation on the weekend. I ate whatever I wanted to and it was delicious. I might post about that later.
Almost had fried pies since there is a delicious fried pie place on the way to where I was vacationing, but didn’t. My mom thinks I want fried pies because I have been...

but salt is gooood
18. Try to use as little salt as possible today or maybe even none! Don’t buy microwave meals and don’t eat foods high in sodium.
lol I was totally going fine with this until I went out with my mom and had a bacon cheeseburger patty for dinner :]
Just the patty. I didn’t feel like buns or sauce or whatever. It was pretty good.
I’m going to fail the “food challenges”...

No…

This is taking a lot of courage.
Here are my before pictures.

This is at around my highest weight, October 2006-March 2007. I was around 235 lbs at this time and dropped 30 without worrying too much about it - it was a pretty dark time in my life and when things stopped being so dark I stopped eating piggily.
Here are my pictures closer to my starting weight of 213. They were taken from 2006-2012.

depressing
I’ve been digging through old pics looking for some of me at my highest weight and my starting weight this time, and now I’m just depressed.
I can’t believe I let myself get as big as 235 at one point.
I mean, I’m happy that I have less fat now, but I’m embarrassed to even put this stuff on my goddamn fitblr.
Oh well. At least it’ll make for really awesome...

16. Which part of your body do you wish to change the most and why?
Hard one. I guess if I had to choose, I’d pick my calves. Even when I was in high school - and I was still a fattychan in high school, mind you, but slliiiiightly less of one - I always had these huge, meaty calves, leading down to cankles. I’ve always been pretty cankly. I wear skirts, so I show my cankles off to...

the end of my obesity
Haha, I’ve been slacking on this so hard. It’s hard to update the thing during the weekend. I have a bunch of roleplaying games I attend. Also, my boyfriend distracts the hell out of me. It feels good.
So here are like 5 of these to catch me up, herpderp
11. Today you will be cooking for your whole family. Find a healthy recipe online that they will also enjoy and show them how...

counting calories!
10. Do you count calories? If so, what is your daily limit?
I count a lot of things, actually! I use MyPlate and set it to lose 1.5 pounds a week, and then I exercise on top of that without recording it there - I just count exercise calories as “bonus” calories lost. I count calories and also protein. I try to stay around 1250 calories, though I don’t mind eating a little bit...

sex is the best cardio
9. What is your favorite type of cardio?
SEX
All of the time.
For exercise, I mostly lift weights - really awesome heavy ones - but I also run because it’s fun.
Today I was able to get in a good workout! My back injury healed up and I’m still taking it pretty easy so as to not screw things back up. But I was able to do my squats at close to the weight I was doing before -...
Today I went to McDonald’s fully intending to get a nugget happy meal (because it’s close to my work and I was craving a small fries) but I found myself ordering a grilled chicken caesar salad with lowfat balsamic dressing instead.
Vegetables!!! Yeahhhh.
What good choices did you make for yourself today?

how i learned to love kimchi
7. What is your least favorite healthy food?
Bell peppers are my least favorite ANYTHING. They make me want to throw up all the time. I would really love to like them, and there are a lot of foods that I used to HATEHATEHATE that I really enjoy now (mushrooms, onions, kimchi) but I just can’t even take the first step with bell peppers.
Growing to enjoy kimchi was difficult. I had a...
Today is one of those days that I just kinda feel like a blob. I feel as fat as I did when I started. I know I’ve made a lot of progress, but I feel like my double chin is even growing back. Sometimes it’s hard to stay logical!
It may have something to do with my not having gotten in a really awesome workout in more than a week. I screwed up my back a little more than a week ago and...
I had my first “cheat weekend” since I started this whole weight loss thing. It was pretty good, though really I wasn’t THAT off.
Today I am eating super clean since I feel a little gross from eating a bunch of cheese and carbs this weekend. I don’t really believe that “eating clean” is really that important, but fruit, veggies, yogurt and cottage cheese...

I skipped some days :)
4. Have a vegan day today. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products whatsoever. Give it a try!
LOL NO :) Not happening. I love my animal products and don’t even want to think about a day without them. Maybe if I had soy protein powder, but I wasn’t going to go out and buy some. I have to meet my macros, fools!!
5. What is your favorite healthy food?
Sashimiiii

in which bmi is bullshit but i care about it...
3. Is your UGW in an “unhealthy“ range of BMI?
Nope. It’s 133, which is 80 lbs lost, which is smack dab in the healthy range. My first goal is right under the non-overweight mark.
But I don’t think BMI is that good of an indicator of health.
For example, many athletes would be considered “obese” by BMI standards, but they’re simply that muscular with nary a...

my dream body! day 2
2. Describe your dream/goal body.
My dream body is a body I will never have, mainly because it has above-average-sized tits, and tits are something I will never have a lot of. I like tits and ass and healthy curves. A friend at work told me that the solution to that is just to get pregnant… hahaha, noooo. Not yet.
My goal body is a healthy body. I have a waist/hip ratio of 0.7, even...
cynaria said: I suggest a back massage. Who doesn’t love back massages?
This is the best idea ever. In fact, it’s such a good idea that I am moving it up to the “what I am going to do at 30 lbs weight loss” and push all the other stuff down one.

80 day weight loss challenge
this can help me stay motivated, even though I don’t need motivation really? LOSING WEIGHT IS ITS OWN MOTIVATOR :D :D :D really! but this will help my tumblr stay active, and maybe even motivate some of MY LOVELY READERS! Stay on track, guys! I know you can do it!!
1. Write your current stats: height, current weight and goal weight. Why are you losing weight?
5’6” - weight...
presents to myself
A lot of people have set “gifts” for themselves that they will buy at different amounts of weight loss. A cool tattoo, a piece of nice designer shit, et cetera. I figure I should also do that, since I feel ALL THE TIME like I need a good excuse to buy myself something nice.
I’ve lost 26 so far, so… how about…
-at 30 (183): a new video game!
-at 40 (173): dinner...
189 :D
Seeing 189 on the scale today made me freak out a little bit. It’s so weird for it not to show 19- or 20- or 21-.
Plus today someone else noticed I’d lost weight! The comments are pouring in!!
It’s great how motivating people can be.
cosplans!
I decided that I’m going to try cosplaying again after I lose some weight!
The last time I cosplayed, I looked like this:
I would estimate I weighed about 170 lbs at that time? It was about 6 years ago, before I got bigger. Well, the next time I do it, I’m going to be a lot smaller and fitter. I would love to fit into those pants again. Maybe I’ll try to dig them up.
And...

That bra info has blown my mind. And I say go for it! You have my complete support!
Oh man! Thanks for reminding me. Here are some amazing links for those of you who are curious about the sizing issues and how to fix it.

“Go slow and be patient. Losing weight is like starting to unwrap a present on...”
– Vainglory, on Fitocracy.
herp derp I left my food scale on the oven while I was baking lasagna the other night and it warped and died.
I feel lost without it.
i hop, you hop, we all hop for ihop
I had no idea how easy it is to eat healthy at IHOP, of all places. Their Simple + Fit menu is actually pretty awesome! More restaurants should include calorie count on the menu.
For example:
Simple + Fit 2x2x2: 2 turkey bacon strips, 2 pancakes (!!) and 2 eggs worth of scrambled egg substitute. 400 calories. 25g protein, 12g fat, and 48g (erp) carbs.
or

motivation
Hard to stay motivated today…. to do anything. It’s raining like crazy, my whole street is covered in water, covering the curbs, even. I couldn’t meet my workout buddy at the gym and I’m calling in late to work because I don’t want my car caught in a flood, but I really just… don’t want to go at all. Spring break is making me lazy.
But at least I’m...
cauliflower!
tiny-ball-of-rage said: How do you roast your cauliflower? :O I love the stuff but atm the only way I eat it is mashed up into fake mashed potatoes.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Take a pound or so of cauliflower florets - you want to buy the head of cauliflower and cut them off rather than buy the precut ones cause they go bad really fast and if you’re like me you tend...
healthy isn't so hard after all
I just overate big time on some delicious lemony baked chicken breast and roasted cauliflower. (I am the best cook.) Thanksgiving kind of full: like I could go for days without eating.
And it was only 430 calories.
I still have 482 more calories to somehow mysteriously pack into my diet for the day, and I have no idea how I’m going to do it. My macros are almost met, but the fats count is...
