Okay yall! I’m so excited! I re-began my ‘healthy for life’ movement. I know I’ve been loafing ALL school year long about getting in shape, but something about summer coming up and college in the fall has really pushed me to get back on track.
I’m getting my vegetarian life style back in order, I was definitely way more strict about it when I first started 4-5 years ago. I’m also really watching my calorie intake and serving sizes and food portions. I’m also trying to get myself in the habit of doing a few exercises when I wake up and before I go to sleep, plus I want to be more serious with my yoga - to gain flexibility and have a healthy mind as well as body. (I got overweight this school year because I didn’t actively play sports and stressing lead me to eat unhealthily, as well *sadface*)
I’ve struggled with how I was going to go about losing my unwanted weight and it has been a battle as I debated on doing it the unhealthy way or not. I’ve been using other tumblr blogs as my motivation, suprisingly not all thinspirations are proana or promia or even ED related. I really didn’t want to fall back down that path.
Right now I’m privately keeping track of my CW, GWs, and UGW but I think posting a before picture up here will be a great motivator for me so that I can do a before and after. Man, yall don’t even know how excited I am! I’ve been studying nutrition and calories online for a few days and I’m excited to use it to my creativity. Especially during this month of June. I won’t be doing too much physical activity because my hair cannot handle it lol, but I really am watching what I eat. I also struggle with putting myself down when I relapse and binge and I’m also pretty lazy so I purge unintentionally. My biggest struggle: water intake! I love water but I’m not drinking nearly as much as I’m suppose to.
Okay, so last, my support team during this process is my friend Britt, she really understands the pressure of being fit, since she is a dancer, and I myself am an athlete. So she will be my rock. I wanna get other people hip like my best friend, since she’ll be abroad throughout the month of June and me and her have never discussed my insecurity, and my sister since she knows a lot about foods and seems to be tryna get in shape as well. My overweightness (not even a word lol) doesn’t show to the general public. I personally know I’m 30ish lbs over and I intend to lose 40ish lbs by August. So if any of yall are in the same situation please hit me up and we can support each other. Or if you just have any tips on health, yoga, working out, or nutrition please let me know. Thanks :)
