Happy and Healthy: Archive

what if I were to tell you that a year from now, a year from this very moment, me and you had done it? we had both lost all the weight we had wanted to, and yes, we were each at our personal goal weights (oh happy day!).

oh!

and we’d both have those cliche after photos where we’re holding our…

Today:

I’m going to finish going through my clothes and getting rid of the ones I will never wear again aka too big or unflattering. Then drop them off at my parents house so they don’t take up so much room at my townhouse, and THEN, I think, I’m going to take a ‘during’ picture with a bikini I used to take my before picture a while ago.

Nervous!

Day 4, no scale

It’s still weird.

But my eating has been pretty great nonetheless, and maybe not using the scale is letting me appreciate that a lot more than I would have if I was using it.

I can sit here wallowing in self pity over things that might or might not happen, or I can get up off my ass & make things happen.

It’s as simple as that.

Day 2, no scale

Usually when I am not weighing myself on a regular/frequent/obsessive basis it is because I am going through a period of bingeing usually due to stress and I know I am gaining weight, feel really out of control, and want to completely avoid the facts.

I assumed that it would just happen again if I stopped weighing myself, but I realized that before I was avoiding the scale, but now I am deciding not to use it to base my progress off of.

So far, I like it.

Giving my scale to my roommate temporarily, and possibly for good.

I think while it's still sunny I'm going to go for a walk

because I like how walks make me feel.

Yep.

Currently reading Intuitive Eating

and it’s basically about rejecting any sort of diet mentality, and letting your body regulate itself, which we’ve been taught not to do from societal pressures, which all makes sense. But one thing it suggests is to basically throw away the scale, because basing your progress or your body off of a number puts you back in the diet mentality and away from intuitive eating.

Which I like the idea of, but also makes me nervous. I don’t know.

Have any of you ever read this book?

That completely awesome moment when

you’re used to looking in the mirror and automatically thinking that you don’t like how you look, but instead, feeling like you look kinda cute today. It’s nice. I think I could get used to it.

I am so thankful I have to do so much walking for school

because when I’m lacking in the exercise department, like I am currently, I realize that it kinda counts for something! I mean there are a lot of hills and speed-walking, cause I’m running late a lot of the time. It’s nice.

I have the opportunity to park in a closer parking lot next semester when I have more credits, but I think I might just stick with the farther one anyways.

I feel like I can't handle my life right now

so stressed and overwhelmed and would like a minute to just be able to breathe.

Probably going to end up either pulling an all nighter, or getting very close to it

damn you biology.
