Where it all Began

Today, I'm going to bore you with a short story of where it all began.

Being in college, all you here about it the "Freshman 15." At the time, it didn't bother me because i've always been rather tiny, so i wasn't phased by it. Then I went home over winter break, and people told me they could tell i've gained weight but they would say "it looks good, you needed it." and that's just not something i was willing to hear. Now, all i think about our my calories, what i eat,when can i go to the gym etc.

What makes it worse, is i have a friend with an extreme eating disorder. So i see how skinny she is all the time..and is it sick to say i almost feel like i'm in a secret competition with her? is there something wrong with me? is that even normal? of course i would never tell her that.

I don't tell my friends i eat less and go to the gym because i know they would be up my ass about it. So i'm grateful I have this site to talk to people who understand.

xoxo

Another day, another pound.

I can't tell you how hard it is being home from college and trying to eat right and less. I'm sure a lot of youcan agree with me on that.

You have parents down your throat, constantly trying to feed you, filling the pantry with oreos and even worse always going out to eat!

Luckily, I've been doing pretty well and I wanted to give you girls and guys some adivce.

1. Think about what youre about to eat, it's as simple as that.
2. If you don't know the calories, DON'T EAT IT.
3. Download the MyFitnessPal APP. It tracks calories for you and saves my life.
4. If you know youre going out to eat, don't eat before and don't eat after. Also, order the healthiest thing, or don't eat it all.
5.Fast for a few days, I did it on lemon water and it wasn't hard because I kept occupied.
6. If you're hungry, sleep or my favorite go to the gym.
7. workout workout workout!
8.Limit yourself to a max of 900 calories a day. I personally don't like more than 400.
9.Drink water!
10. remind yourself why you want this. tell yourself you can do it.

And if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm your girl. I promise!
