So, this post today is gonna be about body bashing. Such a terrible thing.
Don't get me wrong now, this DOES NOT mean that I have to eat fruits and veggies everyday. Hecckkkk no.
Psht, last night I got a cookie jar sundae at Friendly's. Uh, YUM?
WOOO! Starting at the beginning of this year, I told myself I would stop stuffing my face with chocolate ding dongs and move my body a little more. I was tired of the fat, the feeling of crappiness after EVERYTHING I ate.
But does this mean I became anroexic? HECK. NO. I love food too much <3
Society these days has made girls SO afraid to gain weight or have curves, it's just disgusting. Marilyn Monroe for example- she was not a skinny twig; she loved her body. This is why I admire her.
So anyways, I started hitting the gym and eating smaller portions. Well, when I moved here, to Vermont, things got put on hold for about a month. Between going out to dinnner every night and eating whatever, I gained TEN pounds!
Then I thought whoa there, this isn't healthy Lyndsey. I can do better.
So I changed once again. I found this AMAZING website, My Fitness Pal, and got on track. I started keeping a journal of what I eat/how I exercise and waalaa, today I lost my first 2 pounds! :))
I do not want to be some skinny twig, don't get me wrong. Fit is the new sexy.
You girls who can eat whatever you want, when you want; LUCKY YOU! :P
But for us, who want to feel happy with our bodies; i'm here for ya ladies.
Or if you'd like to get YOUR life on track, i'm glad to help :)
If you'd like to join me on this wonderful journey, some tips:
GET A MY FITNESS PAL. It is amazing, and totallyyy free!
Start moving. I am on the Couch 2 5K program; & I never thought I could run. EVER. Now i'm almost done, running 9 minutes on incline and not dying!
Look into smaller portions- yeah, I know, potato chips are freakin' good. But is the taste really worth the fat thats gonna last? Instead, count how many you're having- and only eating the serving size, rather than a whole bag.
Healthy eating doesn't have to be gross- trust me, I LOVE FOOD. LOVE IT.
If I get some requests, I'll jot down a few quick recipes/food I love (psht, I can't cook, so you know they're easy...)
Pinterest is a great motivator!
So alll in all, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL. ALL OF YOU.
And i'm here for anyone who wants to talk- because I understand how hard it is when you feel like no body wants you anymore and you're not good enough.
Until later,
