wahoo!
This is the first time in my life I have actually lost weight in an uber healthy way. I've lost 17 pounds since September! I eat way more than I did before but the things I binge on are Clementines and Cucumbers with Feta...the Feta satisfies my intense desire for Salt and Cheese! I also opt for vegetarian options as much as possible and I avoid complex cheeses and bread. I still eat potatoes constantly but only Saute them. NO FRYING (unless i've had an extremely bad day)
I even get to eat fully loaded nachos or huge burgers..it's just portioning. I think a lot has to do with also handling my emotions. Instead of feeling bad and running out for a bag of potato chips I take a long hot bath with a bath bomb!
Mihai and I went through some of my photobooth photos last night (i like to take pictures when I feel pretty) and when we reached last may both our jaws dropped as we saw my poochy pooch looking OUT OF CONTROL!
I think how i've also lost weight in a healthy way is because Mihai loves me however I look. He actually is quite sad my *ahem* chest has shrunk. It really helps to realize that I can be loved at any weight. This is about my health. Working at a store that really makes me conscious of what i put on my skin also makes me extremely conscious of what I put in my body.
If i want sweets I make a drink with Creme de Cacao and vodka. If i want a peppermint mocha from Starbucks i just add some peppermint schnapps to that drink..and no more than 3 drinks at a time (and i only drink 2 to 3 times a week)
Life has been a bit of a bitch lately. I have no way to reach one of my greatest goals at the moment...even though i went to a prestigious school...I can't even get into community college because they don't accept Credits...i have to have a letter grade...so luckily i've been memorable to my freshman year teachers...but...what makes me want to cry is grad school is getting farther and farther away...I don't want to be 30 when I start my career.
It does make me want to cry when i think about how hard this stupid path is getting...but i'm not giving up. I want to be a counselor. I want to help others reach peace in life.
Life is running so much smoother these days. There are bumps..but I still can't believe that without obsessing I've lost a good portion of weight. It's still funny to me that Mihai does not care at all..hahah.
One thing that also excites me is a friend of mine who runs a cupcake company that's somewhat of a big deal hear wants me to work their parties! It's kind of shallow but she said now that I've lost some weight i'm perfect for their fifties pin up theme! So come January I'll be working at some of her parties! I'm still human and anyone who knows me knows I'm OBSESSED with all things vintage!
Yay!
Still trying not to think about the things that are sucking!
