I think it's time in my life that I begin to obsess over health. If I don't, both Aaron and i will be in trouble. He has a sweet tooth and a penchant for prescription drugs, and I like my booze and adderall. But it's more than that. We at a lot of crap - healthier than most Americans do, but that's not saying much. Aaron has already experienced a ( Read more... )

It's funny because I think I write every time I start to get hormonal. This time of the month, I start crying at everything. I cried listening to NPR this morning, when Doron told me he loved me last night, when I watched a short animation on love yesterday, and when I watched a youtube video on a Canadian woman who had much the same history of ( Read more... )

I'm 27 years old. I'm too old to become an anorexic. But I don't know what to do. I've gained so much weight. I look terrible in all these pictures. Yoga isn't helping, for some reason.

I guess, focus on small portions and less carbohydrates and more greens. I'm going to try and eat more spicy food and greens with every meal.

1. Stop eating ( Read more... )

Well, I've been counting calories again, and it's good. This path lead to weight loss when I last seriously did it for a long time, so I'll keep it up. It changes the types of foods and the amounts I eat and the amounts of exercise I get. For example, I drank a smoothie today, ate some beef jerky, and had some honey. I also walked about two hours ( Read more... )

Well, I've managed to be the fattest I've been in years. Somehow, I'm even bigger than when John and I were eating takeout nearly every evening, when I wasn't exercising at all. Now, I'm eating incredibly healthily and have gone to yoga every day for over a month now. It's the amount I'm eating; I know that. Or else, it's the amount I'm eating plus ( Read more... )

This may be the clearest my skin has ever been. I feel like not writing that will jinx it because it'll mean I'm not secure in it enough to believe it's permanent. I've cut out dairy (except for butter), bad oils, sugar, and grains. I drink my apple cider vinegar every day and use it as a toner, and I use herbs a couple of times a week. At this ( Read more... )

I wish I could stop worrying that every time I have a date my face might break out and ruin it. That hasn't happened once, even after my adderall-induced break out. And since then, I haven't touched the adderall. My period is coming up, but I think that I'll be okay because I've been working out and...I guess I just feel like I have more control ( Read more... )

I went shopping after work yesterday. It made me so depressed: The sizes that generally fit didn't fit. I've been having trouble with my own clothes, lately, and I don't know what the hell is going on. Not only that, but half the dresses I tried on were way too long, even. And all the shoes I put on looked HUGE ( Read more... )

I'm debating going on a most vegan, mostly raw diet for animal rights purposes, mostly, and also as a sort of a detox. John's going to be so confused ( Read more... )
