Hi! My name is Lauren. I am using this blog as a personal little diary of sorts and to help keep myself accountable!
Little about me:
~ I am 22
~ Currently relapsing
~ University student
~ Love watching early y2k tv shows and films
~ I like to crochet and craft when I am not studying π(I love it. I promise)
~ Avid coffee/energy drink consumer
~ Average white girl autumn lover
Dinner:
~ Salad from Costa Vida (not pictured) = 675
β’ Tortilla, lettuce, mango, guacamole & salsa
(Luckily this restaurant has the estimated calories on their website)
~ Daring chicken, original = 300
Thoughts:
I should have done better today, but I am trying not to feel too guilty since I got KITTENS! I adopted two little kittens today. They are siblings named Toffee and Midnight. They are so adorable! We set up a little safe space in our spare bedroom in the apartment. But they seem to be adjusting really well! They are playing with each other and us. Currently, I have little Toffee on my lap.
I will do better tomorrow. I have to go grocery shopping for next week but I think I am planning on having a salad or some wraps.
Today was a pretty good day! I thought I would have felt really guilty about eating the wraps I had for dinner, especially since I had a bagel and seaweed for lunch. But.... the wraps came out pretty low cal. For the two wraps it was only 367! I think I am going to add this in rotation with my salads. I am glad I found a new safe meal that doesn't make me feel guilty for eating it!

Once again for breakfast I had two cups of coffee. I got a new Nespresso pod flavor. It's called 'Strawberry & White Chocolate' and y'all.... it's so fucking good. I added sugar free vanilla and sugar free salted caramel syrup and holy fuck that was deliciousπ.
Thoughts:
Sorry I was so inactive these past few days. I was placed in the ICU for the past two shifts so when I got home, I crashed. (For reference, I work in float pool at the hospital I work at.) A good thing about my shifts being so busy was that I didn't eat breakfast (besides my coffee) or lunch while I was at work. Also, side note, whoever said hospital coffee is terrible was flat out lying. I literally had 3 cups of black coffee during my last shift. As I was hanging on for dear life. But their coffee has some hazelnut flavoring, and it was pretty good.
Anyway, I have already walked 7k steps today, thanks to my new walking pad. And I am about to leave to go pick up a Facebook marketplace find. Let's pry I do not get 'napped.
My only saving grace might be that it was my only meal and I walked a lot today. But still I know that the progress Iβve made this week will be gone by morning.
And I fucking hate myself for it. Iβm going to fast all of tomorrow and hope dinner isnβt waiting for me after work like it was today π«
For dinner the calorie amount is just estimated. I tried my best to do some research about the food I consumed and even cross checked 'my fitness pal' and 'lose it' to try and get the most accurate macros for this meal.

I decided to have a salad for dinner along with the side of my trusty mini bell peppers. I honestly love this salad. It is sooo filling and so goodπβΊοΈ. It also takes me a while to eat since there are a lot of different vegetables and like a psycho I like to 'search' for each veggie at a time.

Hey, I was wondering if you knew how to avoid getting severe migraines from not eating? I've been at it so long my body just will not let up.
I also suffer with severe migraines, even before I relapsed. I have noticed that drinking a lot of water does help me a lot. I try to drink around 120oz a day. For extra hydration, I also use sugar free liquid IV to help get some sodium and electrolytes in.
I also try to carry around some ibuprofen or Excedrin with me at all times just in case I get the feeling of a migraine attack coming on.
Also, if you get migraines often, I highly recommend Be Kool migraine patches. They are like a walking ice pack. You look a bit ridiculous with it on, but they do work wonders.
Hopefully this helpsπ Migraines are the absolute worst
Like always I started off the day with my two cups of coffee. I also was practically forced to have lunch, peep the bagel, baby bell and protein bar. The protein bar was actually pretty good and only 160
I thought dinner would have been worse than what it was. It was.... okay. Wasn't the best dinner I've ever made but at least it wasn't a salad. Don't get me wrong, I love salads, but they get old after a while.
I decided to have breakfast today for the first time in a couple of weeks. I usually only eat breakfast before one of my 12hr shifts but, I noticed that the fruit I bought last week was about to go bad. And as a broke college student (and due to the fact that fruit is so expensive atm), I decided to eat some of it along with a keto bagel.
Food log:
~ Breakfast = 314
~ H20 = 72oz
Thoughts:
I thought it would be fine.... eating breakfast. I thought I would be fine. However, I am honestly feeling so guilty at the moment. Like, why did I eat that? I could have easily let it go bad and not eaten, but I did. Is it really that bad for fruit to go bad? I already spent the money whether if it went bad or not.
If I knew that this was the only thing I was going to eat today, I wouldn't feel so guilty. But I know that I have to eat dinner with my family tonight. I always do. If I do not, I know they will get suspicious and ask questions.
Hopefully this feeling goes away soon.
On sort of happier news. I weighed in at 112.8lbs (51.1kg) this morning. Which is another reason why I feel so guilty. I lost three pounds and now I am going to fuck it up π. Why am I like this.
Ladies and gentlemen once again......this fuck ass salad. I honestly really do love salads. They can be made pretty low calorie for a lot of food. Hence my love with them. I also decided to have some sweet mini peppers and pickles along with the salad since this was the only food that I had today π. I know it's weird, but I like to use the peppers as 'chips' and dip them into the mustard. Don't knock it till you try it.
For some reason when I woke up this morning, I was very hungry. However, instead of eating and feeling guilty, I decided to curb the hunger with some coffee. I have noticed that hot coffee works best for me when I am trying to avoid hunger (hence why I am having scolding hot coffee in 96F) .
For lunch I was out in town as I had a dentist appointment (which I have to go back tomorrow since they fucked up π). So, I decided to stop by 7 brew... again. But unlike yesterday, this one is lower in calorie since both syrups are sugar free.
~ Seven Brew [1drink/15cals]
β’ Large sugar free seven energy with sf strawberry and sf coconut syrup
~ Dt. Dr pepper (not pictured) [1bottle/0cals]
Thoughts:
I am honestly so annoyed atm. I have to drive into town again tomorrow to go see the dentist again. Which in hindsight is not that big of a deal, but it's just annoying.
While I was in town, I did some grocery shopping. I originally went to get some unsweetened almond milk (I go through so much!) and mustard. However, I ended up getting my spiral notebooks and pens for the next semester of university (MY LAST FALL SEMESTER!). Also, yes, I use pen and paper over taking notes on my iPad. I have an iPad, that I got to take notes in uni, however, I noticed that I retain the lecture information better when I am writing on paper.... so, paper it is.
Also, yes, I religiously use spiral notebooks to take notes. I have an iPad that I got for university to take notes, but I noticed that I do not retain the information as well if I use the iPad. I know.... weird.
I once again had one of my salads. I honestly love them. I use dill pickle seasoning on top of the tomatoes to make them taste even better. I also enjoyed an Alani and Dt. Dr pepper (not pictured).

I wasn't planning on having breakfast this morning, but I stopped by my mom's house and I do not want her to catch on that I am relapsing.
Surpassingly, I did not have any coffee this morning before leaving my apartment. But I will have some later tonight.

Good morning!!βοΈ
Today I woke up pretty early (5 in the morning to be exactπ). I weighed in at...once again 115lbs (ima kms). Even after a 48hr fast and eating about 600cals yesterday. Make it make sense.
I ended up wanting to get out of the house, so I stopped by Seven Brew (I am a s!ut for 7brew) and Hobby Lobby to get some craft supplies.
On my way home I stopped by my mom's house and she made me try those freeze-dried strawberries. I was not going to eat until later tonight, but I do not want my mom catching on that I am relapsing, so I just ate it. Even though I did not want to. However, they were pretty good and low calories. Only 70cals for 2pkgs.
I am once again, going to be re-writing my notes from one of my uni classes until dinner time, which I plan on having a salad again (wish me luck!)
