 | Anonymous : Why are you dieting AGAIN? You are so skinny lady!!! You must have lost at least thirty pounds. What are you MAYBE 100 pounds now? Please don't disappear. |
I promise, I am only dieting for this week and I expect that I will lose no more than 2-4lbs, if that. Especially since I am doing harder work outs, I expect a gain in muscle! :) | |

| Anonymous : What diet regiment are you going to be using? What do you think of services like weight watchers? |
I don’t like those kind of plans, but I don’t disprove of them. I think it’s a mild fallacy for those who use food programs like that, because they can’t LIVE off of those planned meals forever. My grocery list today was: I’m testing out new foods in the process of all of this. I discovered recently that I am lactose intolerant, and I’ve been meaning to test more gluten free products, so here is my chance! | |
the movie FRESH is an eye opening documentary that asks the viewer to consider everything that goes into the foods we consume- from farm to table.

Look, im not some weight loss genius. I can’t guarantee that you’ll ever lose the weight you want to lose. Just work hard. Being like “I need to lose X amount, help?” is a really bad question because my body is different than yours. I’m sorry, I can’t just tell everyone something that will make them lose weight.
| Anonymous : As someone living on a college budget and trying to lose weight, do you think it's really worth investing in a juicer and doing a juice detox? |
I don’t think it’s a good idea you do a detox while at college. Just from eating school food, you’re losing a lot of nutrients. I wouldn’t risk your health. You need to really prepare before that, especially if your diet consists of a lot of meat. I definite would wait until spring break or summer and just go to the gym for now. | |
| Anonymous : You said in your health posts that you got your stomach to be flat by "going h.a.m" and working out. What is H.A.M? And also, I really have a problem with my thighs, my "love handles", my stomach, but ESPECIALLY my arms. I want to be more thin than I am muscular. Do you have any suggestions for work outs to work on any of those? |
Hard as a motherfucker. I never cheated a night of working out. I have only not worked out TWO days in the past 6 months, because I was deathly sick… and I made it up twice as hard working out for like 2 hours for three days. I don’t like to pin point areas on my body that need work, so I just do exercises that will touch up all the core parts of the body. and then I fully, 150% support Nike Training Club for iPhones. Best work outs EVER. | |
| Anonymous : Wow you have come such a long way in your weight loss journey. You look incredibly amazing. I have recently gained some weight because I've been recovering from bulimia, and it's been super tough on me. Seeing you, though, makes me really wanna just get healthy and fit. I'm so used to binging, purging, starving that it's hard for me to be able to manage a normal healthy diet, but I'm trying, and seeing your progress is awesome. Did you make any huge dietary/exercise changes? |
Thanks so much! The only thing I can say is you have to keep, keep, keep trying. I made TONS of huge decisions and cuts in my life just to provide a healthier body and mind. I have a section on my blog just for that kind of stuff. Kind of easier to look at that than me tell you everything!! I hope only the absolute best for you! You can do it, never give up - always keep pushing!! | |
I just want to point out, I’ve never made a “goal weight” in my life. I don’t believe in them. Maybe I should, but I don’t. I believe in health, and whenever I feel like I look healthy, that’s what will matter. Since I feel I am at my peak point of healthiness, I guess I reached my “goal”. I think it’s ridiculous to say you want to be a size 0, or 110lbs or something ridiculous. Learn to accept yourself and understand that no matter what you “goal” yourself to be, as you grow older, so does you body. Being a size 4 or 6, or 10 or 12 isn’t bad, even if some other person ISN’T that size. Goal yourself to be the perfect you, don’t decide to lose weight or get into shape for anyone but your damn self.
| Anonymous : thank you for all the tips :) i hope my questions don't bug you! you just seem really passionate about your health and getting healthy so you seemed like the perfect person to ask. one more thing though, how often/how long do you usually work out? |
Nooo don’t even think twice!! Im all about sharing what I’ve learned, because I wish someone was there to tell me this shit instead of me having to research everything (not complaining, it was awesome learning all of this stuff). I know many people say they “can’t see me working out” but I work out EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, for at least half an hour. If I don’t work out I get sooooooo cranky. If you have a iPhone, look up the Nike Training App. It is the GREATEST work out app, I have found. If you’re fortunate to be able to run (my ankles are extremely messed up) get the Nike GPS app and head on out! I firmly support Nike, clearly. ha aha | |
| Anonymous : ahh, thank you thank you thank you. that was actually really helpful. have you ever thought of doing a post on the things you eat on the daily basis the most? i'd love that. i don't mind working out, and i have lots of opportunities.. it's just the eating that always gets me. eating junk has just always been easier for me. but i want to feel better and have more energy, i just feel so gross after i eat certain things and i have irritable bowel syndrome, so i have to stay away from a lot of foods |
To be honest, I don’t even remember what I eat half the time ahha. If I find a really great meal, I’ll post it and maybe I’ll post little snack tips here and there! Actually, I will. Nuts are a great alternative. I weigh my food intake on calories too, so nutrigran bars are great for me when I work long days because i don’t get long enough breaks. Also, I’m obsessed (don’t down it…) with chex mix (no pretzels, ickk) lately. 1/2 a cup is about 130 calories, and I think 60 of that is fat. Which sounds like a lot, but throughout the day - it’s not… and not all “fat” is bad! You just really need to find that ONE snack you can always go to. Go to whole foods(i know its expensive, but its the best way to find a healthy snack) and scan all the isles, and find the most appealing snack and buy a few boxes or bags of it after you sample it! That way you’ll always have a go-to snack! | |
| Anonymous : i need some advice. i wanna start getting healthy, but i'm just the pickiest eater ever so it's really hard for me to find healthy food i like, it's just easier to go for the junk. i like vegetables, but not cooked or together. i don't really like sandwiches, like i just don't know how to eat. i need some help. :( |
I’m actually extremely picky. Cooked vegetables actually have less nutrients than raw vegetables! If you’re not into mixing foods, there are a few drinks out there that can help.
I’m a fan of sandwiches because they’re entirely portable! And I’m usually always running somewhere. However, you don’t need to eat sandwiches o.O. Some breads are horrible for you! I only eat whole wheat bread, and since I hate whole wheat bagels… I eat thin sliced plain bagels (which aren’t the greatest… but you have to choose your battles!). Have you tried pita bread? Also, I eat a lot of salads with vinaigrette dressings, olive oil and vinegar, and occasionally caesar. Salads are a great dish to add a lot too. My absolute favorite salad including strawberries and a lemon vinaigrette dressing!!
hope some of this helps :(((( | |
You see, anon, there is a difference between sucking my stomach in, and how I normally look. Take example A and B ;)
| Anonymous : haha you might work out, but you still pull in your stomach :/ |
HA if only that was the case. I have scoliosis, bro. To explain that, my ribs are pushed a little more forward than most peoples. -___________- | |
