“So before you say, “I could never give up meat,” realize that nearly every single vegetarian on the planet said those same words. Then shut the fuck up, look at an inspirational picture of a skinny bitch, and clean out your freezer.”

- Skinny Bitch is becoming my new favorite book.

I couldn’t resist weighing myself today…..it seems I am back down to 255.2, which is fantastic because at the end of the week I want to be out of the 250’s. No, I WILL be out of the 250’s. It’s my plateau that I have been unable to pass since last summer. 253, to be exact. I will pass it. Once I pass it I think it will all go very smooth. That dress I tried on at my starting weight (260) isn’t as snug!! I think it will fit at 245. At 230 I will post another photo of myself.  

i’m over weight, 10lbs off being obese :(

but you know what? i’m gonna do it anyway.

STAYING STRONG.

Fell off the healthy band wagon for about a week there…and the vegetarian one too :( BUT I’m getting back on both and figuring out my new lifestyle. It would be easier if it wasn’t just me and my boyfriend living together while he eats meat like it’s his job and him also cooking the majority of the meals. I tried to cook the other day and I overcooked, but undercooked the rice if that makes any sense - I burnt it on the bottom from cooking it at too high of a heat and mixed it too much while it was cooking so it didn’t actually cook so it turned to a mushy, burnt mess. Bah. I also managed to break a wooden spoon while waiting for my rice to burn.

Seriously need to get a veggie cookbook so that I can make some legitimate food instead of drinking all of these protein shakes and scrambled eggs.

The term band wagon also made me really miss playing the saxophone - I should see if I can get my old one back from my aunt and uncle :)

slloooowwwlllyy

Do skinny girls make more money?

While it should not make any sense at all, the sad reality is that no only do thin girls easily find relatively good jobs, they also make at least $22,000 more each year.  In a study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, overweight or obese women make even less than a woman of average weight.  If you are not mad yet, listen to this one, for guys it makes no difference what their weight is.  Actually, most of my middle aged bosses are pot bellied slobs.

DON’T EVER WORK OUT IF YOU HAVE NOT EATEN ALL DAY!!!!!!

I hadn’t eaten all day but I worked out anyways, figuring I would be okay.

WRONG.

Close to the end of my work out, I felt like throwing up so bad and my stomach hurt so much I couldn’t even concentrate anymore. I had to stop for a bit so I wouldn’t throw up all over the floor. I just finished working out and my stomach is still hurting really bad.

Shitty work out, ughh.

My five mile bike ride turned into a 6.3 mile bike ride. The weather went from dreary to beautiful and I didn’t want to stop.

Morning food ramble.

One of my favourite things to eat at the moment is ryvita with yoghurt / raisins on top, or just ryvita with raisins, or just ryvita! For those who don’t know, ryvita are rye crackers, which are really easy to customise with your own toppings, both sweet and savoury. Recently we’ve been buying a cheaper non-branded version, and I honestly prefer them. They’re so yummy and provide a nice satisfying high fibre high protein crunch!

They’re such an easy way to add grains and healthy carbs to breakfast or lunch, and a really nice little snack too. For breakfast i’m topping mine with yoghurt, and this makes a quick and easy breakfast with a little bit of mess for fun! :D

I am not advertising these things, I just honestly love them. I ate them all the way through losing weight and then ED last time, and never stopped in recovery. They’re one of those foods I absolutely love, and such a standby thing. I know most people don’t like them because they’re bland, but when you eat a diet like mine, bland isn’t a big deal!

Hope you have a fab morning.
