back with motivation, extra strength, and now with a new minty aroma
i know it's been FOREVER since i updated. i've been SO damn busy that i hardly have time to track my food on thedailyplate. i've been binging so damn much lately, you girls would be disgusted. and i put on all the weight i've lost. but i know a portion of it is water weight since my period should start tomorrow. i've been eating more to try and boost my metabolism, but so far it's not really working. so i'm going to take this really slow and try being very patient. here are some simple goals i'm striving for to get me started back on the right track:
1. i need to stop these damn binges. i've found taht peanut butter is a big weakness of mine, and i can eat like 1/2 a jar at a time. so i'm going for no peanut butter for at least a week, unless it's ONE pb&j sandwich, or in something.
2. i need to cut down on my sugar intake. it's no wonder i'm gaining weight, all the food i've been taking in has lots of fat and sugar. so i'm first limiting myself to one sweet thing a day, and then one a week when i accomplish that.
3. less carbs! when you get stressed your body craves carbs, so i tend to take in WAY too much vs protein. but your brain needs carbs to function, so i'm going to go for no carbs after 2pm and eventually none after 12pm.
4. i'm eating way too late at night. after work and everything i just want to spend time with my bf and he loves to eat, so i want to sit and chow down with him. but he doesn't eat all day and then waits until late at night to eat, whereas i eat all day and then i'll eat with him too. so taht has to stop. i'm going to indulge myself in all the healthy food i want (excluding carbs after 2pm of course) until 5pm. if i have anything after that it has to be fruit.
so far i'm not doing so well. i keep saying "oh i'll start tomorrow." well tomorrow never comes and here i am, just having eaten a cookie and some chips at 6pm. and i had icecream today. but as bad as i've done, and even though i've gained all that weight, my stomach has never been better. i'm starting to see some muscle definition which is crazy! so obviously my body was being starved of nutrition and just because i'm gaining weight doesn't mean i'm getting any fat on me. and i'm the same measurements and you can still see all my bones. so obviously this is a good thing cuz ana makes us think recovery/eating normally = getting fat.
i really think my body will respond well to having lots of protein and little carbs cuz even tho i've eaten under 1000cals a day for 7 or 8 years, it was always carbs. i'd love to have a buddy to do this with. i think it's really healthy and i'm pretty confident it'll show results. so does anyone want to join me? eating very little may get you to lose weight, but you'll jsut gain it back again and it slows down your metabolism like crazy. so come on! let's get our metabolisms boosted back up so we can lose the weight and keep it off! aynone interested?
