3 months

It takes 3 months to make a drastic change to your appearance. By September you can be at your goal weight. By October you can dress in that Halloween costume you were waiting to wear until you lost the weight. By November you can wear big sweaters and cute socks and look ADORABLE. By December you can actually enjoy the holidays and not be concerned about that extra fat you used to carry around. By January, you can cross out “lose weight” from your New Year’s resolution because you were disciplined enough to get to your goal weight a long time ago. Just imagine where you could be if you just stick to your plans for the next 3 months.

My mum just yelled at me bc i am low in iron like wtf? This is not my fault?

The Skinny on Skinny

**this post deleted so I’m reposting it** So I recently lost around 8 lbs/4 kg (I think it’s getting closer to 10 but patience is a virtue) and I wanted to make a post about it. I did this during the isolation period aka without any formal use of a gym.

I do follow a bunch of ~thinspo~ accounts as actual inspiration but I am definitely against all eating disorders. Actually, as I read some of the content I get kind of frustrated for them - I understand there’s much more to an ED than food, but some of the things I read are so illogical! The extremist approach to losing weight often only results in gaining weight: don’t eat for a day and a half and then binge on 5000 calories…. like… you would literally be better off just eating 2000 calories for both days. Not to mention a more pleasant daily life.

Not here to shame though, just here to provide genuine tips. I do not condone any unhealthy lifestyle, but I also don’t agree with a lot of the “expert opinions” on nutrition. The bottom line is you need to focus on an overall balanced diet. Don’t worry if you skimp on a certain macro nutrient during one meal (or day) and instead focus on overall balance.

I see articles in magazines where they bitch and moan about how each meal must be accompanied with a balance of carbs, protein, and fat. That thought process is stupid and will lead to over eating. Your two focus points when you eat should be (1) satisfying yourself and (2) intuition based fueling yourself. Going off any other metric - time of day, technical nutritional content of plate, fear you’ll be hungry later, etc. - should be ignored.

Examples:

Just because it’s “lunch time” doesn’t mean you have to eat. If you’re not hungry, who cares! Just skip lunch today! Eating because the clock or society tells you to will lead to over consumption.

You want a muffin for breakfast. Yum. Have that muffin… but “oh no! You don’t have any protein! Better eat some eggs!” NOOOOO!! If you really only want a muffin, just have that as a single item and let it be satisfying! Adding extra food to “round out your meal” is just adding extra calories without necessarily satisfying you more

You have a busy evening coming up - you had a good lunch though, and feel satisfied… but feel like you should still have a big snack in preparation for your busy evening despite not being hungry. NO! Let the hunger come later, don’t eat now just because you’re afraid of it! If you’re really THAT scared, pack a granola bar, but who knows?! Maybe you just won’t be hungry later, and that’s ok too!

This mentality alone will make weight loss easier. Freeing yourself from artificial metrics of food consumption makes a calorie deficit a lot easier, I promise.

However, at the end of the day, losing weight is hard. A calorie deficit is difficult and requires patience, discipline, and a healthy mental approach to eating. You will sometimes feel mildly deprived as you lose weight - but it shouldn’t consume your entire life.

I am currently three main tools during my weight loss process:

Food tracking: MyFitnessPal

This one I use to give myself an honest reflection of my day. While I’m sometimes tempted to lie or skip recording something, I realize that’s not doing me any favors. Some days it sucks when I am over 2000, but then I remind myself that one day of eating won’t make me fat OR skinny. The key thing I look for is the weekly goal because it prevents my progress from being derailed by one bad day. It also allows me to see how I can still occasionally enjoy treats and junk and still maintain an overall calorie deficit and lose weight.

Activity Tracking: Apple Watch and/or my Fitbit

I do this just to make sure I’m moving around. I think staying generally active has been a major boost for my mental health during the isolation - but I also like how being goal oriented. I go at least 5 miles a day - some through formal exercise, some from just walking around my place. I also will input any of my formal fitness into MyFitnessPal on a metric of 1 mile (walked or ran) is -100 calories. NOTE: I only do that as a secondary method of tracking, I still am loyal to my total calories consumed NOT “net calories.”

Weight Tracking: A RENPHO scale

I really like my RENPHO scale for a couple reasons. For starters, they provide a lot of interesting secondary metrics, including BMI, BMR, subcutaneous fat, muscle mass, etc. While I take a lot of the metrics with a grain of salt, it keeps the process fun for me. I also LOVE how it automatically compiles the data into trends so you can see progress! Furthermore, it keeps me honest in that I have to record a weight every day. No skipping. It just keeps me more honest than when I use to track it by hand I would skip days where I was a bit heavier.

So ya… that has been my “weight loss” journey so far. I know it’s not SUPER impressive, but I started at a healthy BMI so an extreme transformation would be both unlikely and unhealthy.

I do plan to keep going - I both like my progress and I think it’s overall a good time to focus on this… like, when else can I avoid restaurants and other fattening activities so easily 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Oversized sweater themed thinspo

I’ve never been the first choice

I’ve never been one of the popular girls

I’ve never been invited to all the parties

I’ve never been a ‘goal’ anything

I’ve never been liked

But

trust me

Once I reach my goal, you’ll all see

How beautiful I’ve become

How much of a ‘goal’ I am

How everyone will like me

How I will be the first choice

How much I’ve changed

But

that won’t happen as long as

I choose the sweets over my stomach

I grab the cake without thinking about my thighs

I eat the junk food not giving any thought visible collarbones or dainty fingers

I continue stuffing myself not thinking about my body

I eat like this

But

If I stopped now

If I restricted

If I controlled my own urges

If I lose weight

I will get there

Trust me.

My finals are coming up, they're 5 hours each

My teacher just talked 5mins about what, when and how we should eat 🤣

"Dont eat too much, then your tummy will hurt and it'll be hard to focus. But dont eat too little either, then your growling stomach will distract you"

Sir, I have an eating disorder. I dont know how to eat so that it's beneficial for me
