I’m the kind of person who needs some tough love and needs to be held accountable for not working out and doing my diet. I need someone to be like, did you workout today? No? Then lets go for a walk right now.

For me, one of my biggest struggles is overeating. So here are a couple tips that can help anyone who has the same problem.

1. eat slower - don’t rush, enjoy your food. you’ll be able to tell when you’re full and you can avoid overeating. take your time.

2. use smaller plates/bowls - by using smaller plates and bowls you can trick yourself into eating the proper portions since your plate/bowl will look more full than if you use larger plates.

3. drink water - you should drink a glass of water before you eat to make sure you’re actually hungry and not thirsty. if you are still hungry, eat. while you’re eating drink water. and drink some more when you’re done.

4. acknowledge fullness - by eating slower and drinking water you’ll have time to notice when you are full. when you’re full, stop eating, save it for later or the next day. there’s nothing wrong with leftovers.

5. keep a food journal - by writing down what you eat you’ll feel more accountable and make better choices. you can also use this journal when you run out of ideas for meals and snacks.

6. protein protein protein - eat your meats, beans & legumes. these will make you feel full longer. PLUS they’re great for building up your muscles.

7. allow small indulgences - and of course you can’t forget, moderation. don’t ban anything! having a little bit of ice cream, or a couple french fries, or a cookie every now and then it will not hurt you!

Holley Mangold appreciation post.

Because Nick Mangold blah, blah, blah- she is an Olympian! Let’s talk about her!

Because literally every article starts out with how fat she is.

Because people talk about how she needs a makeover instead of her incredible talent.

Because fuck you, that’s why.

seriously. fuck you. who gives a shit about her weight? fuck you if you do.

Hey everyone! Summer is here and I’m trying to stick with my diet. It’s hard when there’s bonfires and smores and movies and popcorn. Ugh. I did go for a bike ride with my dad yesterday for a couple miles. That counts for something, right?

Is there a rehab for zero calorie powerade, trail mix, and cheese?

I’m maintaining my weight right now. I haven’t been working out but I’ve been eating decent, at least not over eating. I’m going back to low carb. It’s the only thing which really worked well for me. I’m driving myself crazy switching to different crap, trying to lose more weight. AHHH! I’m happy with my body but I just want to become more fit.

No but seriously, imagine if you digestive system couldn’t expend to accomodate food? You’d be in terrible pain every time you eat and would have to consume little quantities of liquid all day long to get your nutrition.

this.

I need reminding sometimes.

I am just having such a hard time with losing weight. I did so well with low carb and lost over 40 pounds but then I got bored and gained weight back. Not a lot but it’s still enough to make me feel horrible. I felt huge today. I feel like I’m over 200 pounds again and even though I bust my butt working out I don’t lose anything… And I know why that is. I am eating so shitty and it’s like… why am I sabotaging myself? Why can’t I commit to eating healthy and losing weight? I just need my brain and body to work together.

I’ve been doing turbofire for almost four weeks now and I haven’t seen much results. I know I just have to keep pushing and eat better. It’s just kind of disappointing.
