Here’s another photo to illustrate my point. In the red dress (124 pounds), I had to subsist on a  VERY low-carb, low calorie diet to maintain (50 grams of carbs or less, 1100-1300 calories a day). The minute I’d eat ANYTHING out with friends- be it a piece of cake, some Mexican with some friends, some chips and dip- I’d retain so much water that it’d cause me to gain a few pounds of water weight and bloat over night. I was also too weak to make much progress in my lifts, because I was eating too little. I’d cry when I gained any bit of weight or water weight, and I’d let whatever number the scale said set the tone of my day.

Let’s look at the picture on the right. In January, an old knee injury started to flare up again, causing me to halt my weightlifting progress briefly. As soon as I wasn’t active, though, my food habits slipped. It was the worst thing in the world at the time, but now I’ve learned- this is the way I’d like to live! I eat mostly by intution now. If I’m hungry, I eat, and who cares if I’m going to bed in two hours? I don’t think of things in calories or carbs, but just try my best to not over-indulge too much or too often in things like pizza or chips. I still eat my healthy stuff, but it’s a balance of things.

Guess what? Five months of eating this way, and my weight hasn’t budged past 132-134. I feel healthier these days, I’m able to enjoy life a little better, and I’m actually able to have more energy to perform better in the gym. No, I’m not super-skinny, but that’s the point of this! We get so freakin’ focused on numbers and silly beauty ideals- “I NEED to be 120 pounds, I NEED to be a size two, I NEED to not have my thighs touch”- that we forget we’re make pretty high demands on our body and emotional health here. Quit chasing perfection, quit trying to become so much skinnier than you actually are, and just worry about your health. Too much restriction is as bad for you as too little moderation. Instead, aim for a life of balance. :)

i passed my first exam guys!

i have to wait two [business] days before i can schedule my RRT exam/sims but hopefully i can pass that too.  so since i’ll more than likely be doing that next thursday, i still won’t be quite as active, but it’s not as vigorous as studying since it’s essentially the same material, just a couple things added… so i’ll be around a little bit :)

thanks for not unfollowing me and being patient :)

just a forewarning followers

the lack of posts from me this week does not mean i’m gone. here is why: i am in the process of moving and my first board exam is scheduled for friday the 18th.  and so i’m really trying to avoid going online this week because it’s a huge distraction and i need to study my ass off.

i’ll be back soon.  i’ll probably check twitter a few times if you really care what i’m up to haha.

thank you to the people who have sent me good luck messages and such. i appreciate you all :)

i posted this on my personal blog, but i figured i should tell the people who follow this tumblr all the same :)
