5.2lbs down.
Stomach is already de-bloated overall. Not completely. But it looks soooo much better than it did. I don’t look pregnant LOL. And it no longer feels uncomfortable. I went to a bridal shower last night a wore a dress from last year that was really tight on me and now is really loose. I went rummaging through all of my black dresses and all of them are too big on me! To the point of not being...

Day 1 went smoothly. Now I’m going to bed before I convince myself to walk to the kitchen and devour something I shouldn’t.

Updates on binge.
[[MORE]]
So yesterday’s attempt to get back on track failed (yet again). I ended up getting Mexican… a burrito with rice/beans/chicken/queso/etc. and a soda. A few hours later while getting ready for class I still felt terribly crappy from what I ate. Physically crappy. I was so bloated gosh. That’s when I made yesterday’s post.
I brought green tea with...

Gross. Ugh. I've had enough.
Gross TMI. Don’t read unless you’re feeling rebellious. Guys.. stay away. Your balls will magically fall off if you read this personal blog. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya~

That embarrassing moment when you struggle to get your ass into your “fat pants”. The pants that were always super loose and falling off at your skinniest.
Ugh. Gross gross gross....
myscaleaddiction asked: Totally my opinion here, speaking somewhat from experience, but don't you think the psychological restrictions you established could have contributed to the binge? From your posts it looks like you were really into the Paleo thing (which I admire because I only lasted 3 weeks) and totally against non-Paleo things.. perhaps the change from thinking certain foods were okay to thinking...

Getting over a sugar binge.
I feel like I’m in the middle of a binge. I’m not really sure how to stop it. My mind is like no noooo noooooo DON’T WANT THAT NO STOP WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP EATING THAT NO AHHH STOP IT THIS INSTANCE! But it’s like I have absolutely zero control over my actions. Does that make sense? It’s like the past week or so has been a surreal blur. Almost an out of body...
Why obsessing over every last calorie is...
marysquattins:
Most of the time, on nutrition labels, the macros (protein, fat, carbs) are rounded to whole numbers and the calories are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5.
Haven’t you ever noticed that? Very rarely will you ever see the calories as something like 148 calories per serving…they’ll round to a nice neat number. Or how we assume every egg is 70 calories? Because every chicken...

He came up to me and was like, “heyy why didn’t you sit next to me today? Do I smell or something?? Is that why?”
hahaha. It was cute. :)

Digestion is parasympathetic nervous system...
ETA: Also the reason why you get sleepy after eating. Blood is diverted towards digestion, therefor making you tired.
While no scientific evidence points to particular health problems associated with sleeping after eating, doing so may be problematic for some people.

visitinghere asked: eating at night does make you fat. no, calories don't know time, but it's not good to eat before bed because you have little time to use the energy you consumed before you go to sleep. then these calories just sit with you and cause you to gain weight.

I love having fishermen friends. This guy brought us a huge chunk of deer or elk or something during the winter (sadly I didn’t get to try it).
I’m excited! This is exciting. It’s so fresh and it smells amazinggggg. I hope my future husband is outdoorsy like this.
mariadicaprio said: Thank you for this information. But what is that we should be eating? You say “actual food” but where can we find it? My mind goes to the ezekiel brand of foods but maybe you might yell at me for even thinking of eating that.
Just posted an example :) I’ve heard of Ezekiel bread before, but IDK what Ezekiel brand is. If it contains a ton of ingredients that...

I need a break from this blog.
My semester ends in 3 weeks. I still have sooo much catching up to do. I’m stressed out right now. Bloated. Still feeling like someone hit me over the head with a crock pock (damn you SAD diet). And I’m just really angry with the world right now. LOL. That sounds so silly, but seriously.
I was watching some youtube videos the other day and reading a couple blogs, flipping through a...
Nutrition labels do not have to include the grams... →
Why the hell not?? It’s the products that say “no trans fat” that are the ones which contain the maximum amount of trans fat which they’re allowed to not label. Albeit, some types of trans fat occur naturally and are healthy. Most are not.

Yay for a relaxing night @ home. I felt like crap all day. Feeling slightly better right now. Weather was lovely. mid 60’s/low 70’s, gray with light mist. LOVED IT. Can’t wait for Autumn.

A purely plant based diet is sustainable, my ass.
The weather goes wako for a few weeks and crop yields plummet, just like that. Imagine if we really were a plant-based society and this happened. There would literally be a nationwide famine. Not only would there be barely any food, but prices would skyrocket.
I feel bad for those cows. Getting killed just like that. Industrial farming IS...
redeemedashes asked: Could you give me some links to yogo videos or pictures or something. I've never done it, but I would like to try... plus I'm not flexible at all so i dont know how hard it is?
california-skinny asked: Any body building/weight training site I've come across has said up to 1 pound for women and 2 for men of muscle a month naturally regardless of fat loss. I understand it isn't linear, also weight loss =/= fat loss. But I think there is some info you are missing from the study. Those men would have to be on something if they lost more than 1lb a wk and gained .45 for every lb. in studies...
momentarybels asked: What do you think is happening when weight gains are 10 to 15 pounds in one to two months, but calorie deficits are there and measurements are stable? It's impossible to gain that much weight in muscle or in fat, and that much consistent bloating must mean something, right?

This is going to be a long day. :(
california-skinny asked: Explain your reasoning on "For every pound of fat you replace with muscle you loose 1/2 lbs of body weight". I'm assuming you are talking about the rate of fat loss to muscle gain ratio in the body and not that muscle weighs more. From everything I've researched the body looses fat much more quickly than it gains muscle. Typically one loses1-4lbs per week or more but can only...

Even if you did replace 1lb of fat with 1lb of...
You would still weigh less.
Why?
Because muscle mass is metabolically active, and fat is not (ehh.. very small amount). Therefor, for every pound of muscle that you build, you’re burning additional calories. You’re replacing one pound of fat with muscle mass as well as subtracting the weight of the fat burned off by the additional muscle mass.
So even the argument, “your...

I am amazed at how much I ate today.
Wowowowoww. FU shark week. :(
I’m hoping tomorrow my appetite will be negligible. Seriously. I don’t want my stomach to be a bottomless pit for the rest of the week. That would SUCKKKKK.
