It Can Bloat You...

but you still need it! H2O is imperative to your body being at its best. Not only does it supplement all that fiber you will take in daily (see earlier post), but it will keep you satiated and occupied and you won't feel as hungry if you're constantly drinking water. Water does flush away vitamins so don't drink it sooo excessively that you pee out everything healthy in you! There's no technical guidance on how much water you should drink in a day - although some think it's 8 glasses, some think it's more or less, it's really your body and how you react to it. So I'd suggest drinking a lot and seeing how clear your urine becomes. Once it becomes a little too light, you've had too much... hold back and that should be about right.

Drink up!

To water that is!!

Avoid Mindless Eating

We all do it. We aren't even hungry .. we just feel like putting something in our mouth(avoid sexual comments here please) so we eat. And snack. And devour. And soon enough, our stomachs are in pain (LISTEN to your body) and we're bloated and disgusted with ourselves.

Eat when you're hungry! Don't eat for the sake of eating. AVOID mindless eating. Occupy yourself with work, an activity, gum or water.

MINDLESS eating is NO BUENO!!

Being Skinny is Not Temporary ... It's a Way of Life

Get off your fat butt and get to the gym!

Endorphins feel good. Eating well gives you energy. Staying active keeps you alive longer. Protein and fiber are good for you and fat in moderation is also great.

The purpose of this blog is to remind all the skinny girls who never had to worry about working out or eating right (because metabolism was on our side and we were young and never gained weight from ANYTHING) who are a bit older now, have had their metabolism slowed down a bit, aren't active because of sitting on your backsides 12+ hour days and just want to feel beautiful again (we know it all works from the inside out but if the outside is crap, your inside feels like crap).

Trust me.. I gained about 20 pounds - nobody noticed because I'm tall .. except for my mother who immediately noticed and wouldn't stop nagging me about it. Thanks mum.

Today's Lesson:
25 grams of fiber. That's how much fiber you should be taking in a day. Fiber keeps you regular (you shit out whatever you put in your body) because it is easier to process than all the other crap you put in your body. Check it out - see how much you take in. Typically, strive to poop two times a day! Ewww.. that's gross man.. yeah, but it's a reality. What goes in.. must come out. And to make matters worse..most people don't even crap once a day! CRAP! Think about it.. we can discuss in person if you wish.

obsessed again

I keep looking at photos of when I was skinny. I keep remembering what it was like to wear pants where your stomach didn't hang over. I keep pulling my pants down as it rides up and into the fat of my tum-tum. I keep wanting to lose weight. I keep eating. I keep gaining more weight.

Today, I have decided once and for all, to get skinny.

I am not eating ANYTHING fried. I can have ONE dessert per weekend. I am only drinking ONCE a week and no more than 1 - scratch that, 2.5 drinks. I am only allowed to eat carbs once a day.

I will starve a bit when I go to sleep. It will be good for me to decrease the size of my stomach.
