Friday!
Even working for myself, I look forward to the weekend. This one won’t be special, but it’ll be nice to work on things around the apartment.
At check-in today, I’m only down to 206—so 6lbs from my starting point! But I’d really like to see more come off. So I’m going to track my eating habits/caloric intake next week, starting this Sunday. This is not about...
phiLOLZophy: Tumblr is Wrong for Censoring Eating... →
islandrandalia:
philolzophy:
Tumblr is shutting down blogs that promote self-harm. This means pro-anorexia, pro-bulimia, and pro-self harm blogs are dunzo.
I have to believe this is because of the misconception that these communities are about encouraging people to have eating disorders and causing existing eating…
I’m going to do my best not to sound like a total troll here. I like...
Tumblr Staff: A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs →
staff:
One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech,…
Please check this post from the staff out. It makes me really sad that there are...

Isn't Life Funny?
I’ve been absent! So let’s go over some highlights of the time I’ve missed!
I pretty much fell off the wagon over the weekend. On the upside, Fiance and I are being much more social—we met new friends for drinks, met up with older (by date, not age) friends for jambalaya (which was good but burnt me both ways), and then had a double date at our house where we consumed...

Check In and Cheeseburgers.
I’m still craving a cheeseburger! Roar! But rather than head out to Wendy’s, I have a better plan. (Have you had The ‘W’ ?! It’s amazing and so yummy! And the best fast-food burger hands-down. It rivals the burgers from better restaurants around here—a sad fact, for sure.) Tonight I’ll be whipping up some tasty burgers on the Foreman! I love...
northofe92ndst asked: OMG your auntie flo post. Seriously that was me yesterday salivating over a cheeseburger. Like I would KILL for one. Now today I feel like I'm giving birth to a baby elephant and I have to go into a 2 hour meeting with all of my managers/ my boss and act like I feel wonderful. FML. WHY?!?!

Periods and Weight-loss.
If you’re a guy following this blog, and you’re squeamish about all things Auntie Flo, you might want to skip this post. Because it’s about to get real.
PERIOD. I fucking hate having one. I wish I could have either never menstruated, or that I could just stop now (you know, without any serious side effects, like being sick). I literally come to hate my body each month, and...

Depression and Putting The Brakes On Backsliding
Pulling one’s self out of a depressive episode is hard. Especially when one suffers from depression and tries to combat it without the use of prescription drugs; it’s not that I’m anti-medication or anything, it’s just that I haven’t found a medication that didn’t leave me feeling numb all the time—I’ll take the up’s and down’s over...

A quick pre-work out thought...
It’s my birthday today and because I’ve decided to splurge just a little bit, I’m taking off this afternoon to go to the coast and indulge in some raw oysters and beers. Happy Birthday to me! Because of this ‘splurge’, we weighed in today; I haven’t totaled up my inches lost, but I did drop two pounds! Hooray! Every little bit helps!
EDIT: I’m not...

How Breakfast Saved My Work-Out
Pretty much once you’re able to demonstrate even an elementary grasp of the English language, it’s drilled into you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And it really is, especially if you’re working out. Not only does it kick-start your metabolism, but it gives you fuel to keep going if you work out in the morning. I don’t understand these girls who...

The Dreaded Check-In!
I wasn’t sure what to expect. I eyed the scale like it was a precarious rock in a sea of lava, took a deep breath, thought thin-thoughts and climbed aboard.
209.5
Not even a full pound.
Before my self esteem could go crashing down around in me in a truly dramatic montage of broken, mirrored pieces, I hit the pause button and padded to my fiance’s office with the measuring tape....

Stream of consciousness
I feel like people are missing the point in my Christina Hendricks post. Yes, she is lovely, but it’s more about positive body image and being okay with an old school hourglass figure.
In other news, I’ve experienced some set-backs this week. I did not get the sweet position I interviewed twice for. Then I found out that my gym rooms are closed for today and tomorrow, and splurged...

Check in's and Dressing Room Nightmares
My enthusiasm for bettering myself took a blow not too long ago; I had to go clothing shopping for an interview. This was my first serious shopping trip since I’d put on the weight—earlier I’d developed a special relationship with my fiance’s sweat pants and for going out, relied heavily on tights, which seem to fit me no matter how much I gain or lose.
I wanted to cry...

Welcome Welcome Welcome
This is my first post here. It’s also the first time I’ve written down my feelings about being fat.
Fat.
That word sucks. But so does ‘voluptuous’ and ‘chubby’ and ‘big-boned’ and any other cushy euphemism for fat.
I’ve always been a bigger girl. At one point, I was more ‘voluptuous’ than fat, but I’ve never been thin....
