MY BOYFRIEND (who is the gym addict, with a terrible junk food addiction)
has decided to become serious about eating healthy. This morning he even called me asking if his breakfast sounded good or not hahaha. Love him. Super excited to share this journey with him. He works so hard in the gym, and feels like he could never have wash board abs, and though he isn’t looking to lose any weight he just wants his body to change a bit (if that makes sense). I know he can have whatever abs he wants — he just has to focus! We decided that on Saturdays we will have one cheat meal - dinner and a treat like chocolate or whatever, which is a huge improvement to our snacking ways.
I am so proud of him, and honestly, super happy for me, because I feel like I become weak when he eats snacks.
LOVE YOU ALL! have a greaaaat sunday!
And I’ll tell you why.
I became so obsessed with comparing my stats to others on a similar journey, “tumblr friends” if you will and I started to see it as a competition, but only in my own head? I am not explaining this very well, but I feel like the number began to over power the words + attributes, such as, healthy, fit + happy.
Those are the words I need to focus on. Since I began focusing on the number my eating went back to my old habits. I was on and off some days fine, other days binging. But the past four days I has eaten almost perfectly, and I have focused on the healthy part of eating and I feel really great. I may step away a little bit more until I feel like my healthy self again.
But, I just wanted to give an update.
healthy + happy, here I come.
My friend Melissa lives with her aunt and I haven’t seen her for quite some time, as Melissa moved out for a few months but now moved back. ANYWAY, I saw Aunty Bev tonight for the first time in a whole, and she said
“holy, you’ve lost a lot of weight!”
Lately, I’ve been feeling down on myself and my “lifestyle” which seems to turn on and off like a switch lately. But that was really the motivation I needed! I have made progress, and I can continue to.
I know that in about 35-40 pounds is not my “healthy weight zone” but I know that in 30-40 more pounds I will feel just great about myself! I remember myself at that weight and it was the first time I felt feminine, beautiful and powerful. That’s my new goal weight.
175-180 realistically, but if I get into the 100’s even if it’s 199 I’m going to be hella proud of myself!
Wow! So thought provoking!
Everytime I see this picture it makes me sick. Gross
