what keeps me going (xmas version)

disclaimer: these are weird little things that mean so much to me, but probably not universal experiences for everyone! 😊

🎄walking down the stairs not worried about how my thighs jiggle as i gracefully (not thundering) descend

🎄getting dressed in an adorable outfit for church with tights gliding right onto my thin legs and seeing all of the church people i haven’t seen in a year not recognize me

🎄eating a tiny portion of what I have eaten in years past and compared to everyone else at the table, too full to finish my plate

🎄unwrapping presents and being able to maneuver easily around family members to hug everyone

🎄receiving clothes and not worrying about whether or not they’ll be too small and ill have to embarrassingly tell them I need to return their gift bc i was fatter than they thought

🎄drinking a single glass of champagne and getting tipsy off of it

🎄cozying up in a sweater by the fire than dwarfs my newly tiny frame

🎄not being worried about taking family photos because I am no longer ashamed of how I look in them

🎄having all of my extended family not able to stop talking about how much weight i lost and how much better i look

🎄being prettier than all of my cousins and sisters because finally i am skinny

What keeps me going (reach that UGW)

I hope this does not offend anyone. I am not saying that if you’re not skinny you can’t do these things or feel this way. It is simply the case that I cannot feel this way about myself or do these things when I’m not skinny/toned. This is what keeps ME going and some of these are a little weird and specific lol.

1. When I’m going out or when I’m at a party and I’m getting a little too friendly with a guy, I can feel secure about myself and my body when he touches me. Like for instance, I know that when his hand strokes my stomach or lower back, he won’t feel fat but abs and lines. And when he wraps his arm around my body, he will be able to wrap it around nicely and easily and not in a half-assed way because my fat that is in the way.

2. When I enter a room, I can walk gracefully with my long skinny legs and heels.

3. Gracefully and smoothy moving around the room at parties or gatherings. I can sneak past people and small spaces are not a problem.

4. Getting attention. Sadly, you still get treated more nicely when you’re skinny. Girls want to be friends with you more easily and guys will give you more attention. I am aware guys like curves, but curvy is a whole other thing than fat.

5. Being able to wear crop tops, skinny jeans, flared jeans and cute sweaters and rocking it. Showing off my nice body that I worked so hard for.

6. Compliments. Damn, I am attention hungry aren’t I lol.

7. Looking good while eating a salad but also when eating a burger. No peering eyes or judgemental looks.

8. When I’m getting ready for a party, I can do my hair and make-up nicely, wear cute jewellery, and put on a gorgeous outfit that shows off my body and I can feel actually good about myself and think I look good. This is such a confidence boost and feeling confident about yourself, especially at clubs/parties is always very nice.

9. Feeling like I accomplished something. I worked hard for this and it shows and I can be proud of myself that I did this.

I really wonder what my body would look like skinny? I know where my weight goes when I gain it, but have no idea of where it would disappear. Would I have an hourglass waist? Would I lose more breast than I wanted? How wide are my hipbones really, when they’re not covered in fat? Is it even possible for me to get a thigh gap? What is my bone structure? How far will my ribs stick out? Will I be disgusted by it? What about my cheeks? Will they be hollow or chic? My collarbones would probably be perfect

Okay so I get so many messages asking how I lost all the weight in three months and I can’t be bothered replying to everyone so i’m just going to write a post about it. So basically my weight loss took exactly one hundred days and I set myself a lot of rules that I didn’t break in order to lose it all.

1. Sit down as little as possible. There’s so much you could be doing that doesn’t involve sitting on your phone like cleaning your room (wiping all the surfaces, making your bed, vacuuming, doing a load of washing etc.), organising your draws and cupboards, pampering yourself (painting your nails, washing your face, moisturising, doing a face mask, tanning etc.). Just basically anything is better than sitting down, even when i’m on tumblr I walk around my room I never sit still.

2. Only ever eat one meal. I actually never counted calories when I was losing weight. I would have a coffee in the morning and allow myself to eat one meal at any time with any calories during the day. I found as long as I kept up all my other rules and only ever ate once I would lose weight so yes I was still eating McDonalds while I was losing weight and no I would not gain.

3. Set yourself a daily beauty routine. Not only did I want my body to look good but I wanted to look good too so I started a beauty routine for my hair, face and body that I did everyday. Not only was it a good distraction but I always looked good and got a shit tonne of compliments.

4. Exercise for at least an hour a day. This is where heaps of people fuck up. And no i’m not talking about going for a walk for an hour or sticking strictly to cardio I did a lot of ab and glute exercises because if you’re only doing cardio you may be losing weight but you can still be flabby, if you want a body that you see on tumblr you’re going to have to tone yourself up. I always did my muscle building exercises after dinner.

5. Drink 2L water everyday. Every single night before bed I’d fill up my water bottle and put it in the fridge without fail so every morning I would have 2L of cold water for the day.

So yeah, it’s more about being consistent and having a routine that you don’t fuck up then being really obsessive about calories and then accidentally slipping up and binging.
