15 Day Challenge
Day 15 - Are people generally supportive with your aim to lose weight? Why or why not? My immediate family is because they’ve seen how it’s affected me my entire life. They’ve seen me basically starve myself for days on end and still gain weight. They knew when I’d skip school to avoid the endless harassment and the long bouts of sever depression. They were there when...

This month is proof that you can do everything...
I just have to hope that with this new month comes more stable hormones or whatever it is that’s refusing to allow my body to let go of the weight. Even if this stall continues on through October I’m going to keep going. I gave up once before when my body shut down like this and I’ve regretted it since. It’s not happening again; there’s no way that I’m going to...

Day 14 - What are the things that hold you back from achieving your goal the most? After giving it a lot of thought I realized there have been many things over the years that have held me back, physically and mentally. When I was younger it was my health. I’d try diet after diet and not lose weight and sometimes even gain eating “healthy” foods. When I’d try to tell someone...

Day 13 - What do you think you could improve to help you reach your goal quicker? I don’t think there is anything. Losing about 32 pounds in 3 months, in spite of constant stalls, is still fast. So even with my gripes and complaints I’m rather happy with what I’ve lost so far. As long as these long stalls don’t happen too often I won’t change anything.

Day 12 - What sites do you visit to help you with your weight-loss/emotions/self-esteem? Tumblr, even if I don’t post I still visit just about every day and read everyone’s entries. I’ve met so many great girls on here who keep me motivated and accountable for my actions. lowcarbfriends.com/bbs, I’m not an active member but I love browsing it and finding new items, recipes...

Saturday ended up being a binge day. I let the stress win but I’m glad I ate when I did because I haven’t felt like eating anything since. I feel sick even trying to chew a piece of bread. I’m going to go buy more Fuze and diet soda later; if nothing else I can drink fluids. I just wish I could do more to help right now then get upset.

Day 11 - Is there anyone in particular that made you feel you had to lose weight? Who & how did they make you feel this way? I’ve been obese since I was a child and always the largest kid in class so I’ve always felt pressure to be thinner. At school I was constantly harassed because of it and would skip classes often. At home my dad would make comments about my appearance every...

I missed this one yesterday. Day 09 - What parts of your body do you like the most? My super long legs and hands, my long curly hair, my eyes, nose and lips. I love my skin; it may still break out but if I can judge my future by my mom’s then I’ll age very well. And I know it’s probably not the point of this but I’m tossing my brain in as well. It’s without a doubt my...

Wow, I lost 4 followers after the last post. Really? All the unconventional things I write and that got to some people? Sorry, I’m the world’s crutch everywhere else, this blog is for me. If you’re looking for a place that’s 100% devoted to positivity and making you feel good about yourself you may want to look somewhere else.

I’m so tired of being patient. Last month was a 9 day stall and after losing 1 1/2 pounds early this month I’ve been met with a 21 days stall. How the hell can I encourage anyone else to be healthy when I’m constantly thinking about slipping back into old bad habits myself?

Day 08 - What parts of your body do you hate the most? My large breasts and stomach that I worry are going to look deflated and saggy after I lose all the weight. My big feet that rarely fit into cute shoes and my finger nails that no vitamin, lotion or polish can strengthen.

Day 07 - Your favorite book/song/movie that inspires you? I feel really lame, I don’t have one of these either. I love books and music but I don’t get inspired from one in particular. When inspiration does hit it’s more like a moment where everything comes together and gives me that boost.

Day 06 - Your thinspiration figures? It’s really hard to find girls my height and at my goal weight, so it’s mainly random girls I see on the street or online. Usually spotted because they’re wearing the clothes I like.

What I won't do today-
iamiamiwill:
I won’t look in the mirror and think about how much better I would look if I lost 10 pounds.
I won’t scrutinize what I ate earlier today.
I won’t obsess about what I will eat next.
I won’t cry because I’m not getting enough exercise.
I won’t let my mental handicaps take advantage of me.
I will try my damnedest to love myself.

I stopped eating junk, white sugar, and white flour a long time ago. I can’t handle anything like cake, ice cream, pop, etc anymore. When I make healthier desserts, they are never sweet enough for my family, while they’re borderline for me. Haha.
Good to know! My family was already start complaining about the lack of sugar. I guess they’ll just have to adapt to this as...

Day 05 - Your workout routine? It varies but lately it’s been mainly jogging with strength training, and interval training.

Have I lost my taste for sweets? I never noticed how bad most of it tasted before. Cake is more like a sickeningly sweet and a blob of pure flour then the little bite of heaven it use to be. I ended up settling for a scoop of ice cream and even that left me with a headache and upset stomach. I can’t wait until it’s out of my system.

Have I lost my taste for sweets? I couldn’t even eat a few bites of regular cake without being overpowered. I never noticed how bad it tasted before, sickeningly sweet and a blob of pure flour. I ended up settling for a scoop of ice cream and even that left me with a headache and upset stomach. I can’t wait until it’s out of my system.

Day 04 - Your skinny outfit (What do you want to look good in?) My perfect outfit would be a pair of distressed black skinny jeans and a fitted black top paired with my leopard print shoes and red bag.

and there’s so much sf cinnamon gum in my mouth that even if I could taste the frosting it would be disgusting.

Day 03 - Why do you want to lose weight? What benefits do you think it will have?
The #1 reason is my health. Hopefully by losing weight I can stabilize my hormones without having to take medications.
I don’t want to become diabetic like the majority of my family.
I want to fit into the clothes I love. Being tall and finding clothes is bad enough without adding a size 18 or bigger into...

Day 2 - Your favorite healthy meal? Chicken fajitas minus the tortillas with a large salad of romaine, olives, tomatoes and dressing on the side. Actually anything with meat is a great meal to me. I crave it almost as much as I do sugar.

2 weeks of no weigh-ins and calorie counting was such a bad idea. I did my workouts like always and only ate off plan one day but instead of progress I had a small gain. This was a really bad month with my hormones so that may have played a part in it and I’m sure my body needed the break but even so I went back to being strict today. I have my older brother’s birthday party on Sunday...

It was such a shitty week. I don’t want to bother other people with my petty problems so I just keep shoving them down.

Fridged Yoga
After finally getting rain and cool temperatures last week we have green grass again. So I decided to go out and do my yoga in the front yard during sunrise. It was cold, very cold, but amazing. I’m not going to have too many chances to do this with autumn quickly approaching. So get a look while you can neighbor across the street who shuts the curtains every time I rise up.

I don’t get it, I’m watching my carb intake and I’ve been steadily losing weight yet I’m still having really bad PMS and breaking out with cystic acne. WTF PCOS?! I do everything I can to ease the symptoms but it seems like the healthier I get the more my body punishes me.

Wii Fit
My brothers bought the balance board for the Wii console and insisted I try it instead of doing my regular workout. Saying I was skeptical is an understatement. How are you going to burn enough calories playing video games to justify skipping a legitimate workout? 45 minutes later I apologized to them and the Wii. After running, boxing, stepping, hula hooping and playing random games I was...

What is low carb?
For some reason people seem to have the wrong idea that low carb means no carb. This is probably what leads so many to believe that it’s an unhealthy lifestyle. While how low you go varies based on the person and diet, it is agreed that you achieve this by cutting out sugars and starches. Everyone knows you can eat meat, fowl, fish, shellfish, eggs and cheese but you can also have nuts...
Hello to all of my new followers!
21 new followers in about a week is a bit mind blowing. I appreciate all of you who decided I was worth adding. Sorry for the huge gaps between posts. I’ve been busy trying to help my family get ready for Labor Day. I’m trying to make it less of an excuse to eat junk food and more about the family being together.

I only missed my August goal by 1/2 a pound. I’m really proud that I’ve made it so far. It was a really rocky month full of stalls, caving into cravings and falling into the vicious cycle it creates. I decided that I’m not doing any weigh-ins or anal calorie counting for 2 weeks. It’s going to be all about my health, leaving behind the stress, the obsession and getting my...
