Is there anything more beautiful than a perfect avocado 🥑? No. The answer is no.

Sorry I’ve been MIA all day, idk it’s I started my meds/the heat/or I was just exhausted but I literally woke up this morning at 8am, took my pills and fell back to sleep till 4pm 😳 but last night was the first night I slept through in months without waking up so I’ll call that a win; Denny’s side salad, with ranch. Gonna pick out the croutons. I’m not too hungry for some reason but I was craving a salad and my mom wanted to go out to eat. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Burgers 😋🍽 just seasoned with salt & pepper, and turkey dogs 🤦🏻‍♀️ 3g carbs for each hotdog though 🤷🏻‍♀️

More of the same foods I’ve been eating lately💩😂😂 spicy chicken + grilled veggies and I have some broccoli cauliflower salad 🖤 also alllllll the water 💦 guys I’m not even gonna lie today was rough and I’ve cried more than anything 😩 I wrote about it on my lil blog that I’ve finally started using again: squatsandpb.wordpress.com where I’ve taken to over the last few days just venting about all my mental health things 😪

My absolute favorite salad in the world; just chop up broccoli and cauliflower, dice some onion, mix with sour cream and some ranch powder, add some bacon bits, mix in cheese and top it with more cheese cause cheese 🧀

Mental health check: Monday I’m going back to the doctor to get back on anxiety medication. I’ve been off any medication for almost a year and it’s the worst it’s ever been. I stay up all times of the night playing out a million scenes about the next day and how to handle what might happen but probably won’t cause my brain is messing with me, what to say/do, when I do fall asleep I wake up in the middle of the night (like now at 3am I’ve been up since 1 panicked for no reason) then stay up just to think about those things mentioned above. My social anxiety is getting bad again and there was a period last month where I didn’t leave my house for over two weeks. And worst of all my anxiety has turned to manifesting itself as anger, and I snap over anything and everything. This weekend has spiked my anxiety to its highest it’s been in a long time and I realize I need help and meds again. ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AND FOREMOST, I can’t stress it enough. Do not be afraid to ask for help when things get overwhelming. There’s a stigma that getting help for depression/anxiety is weakness. But true strength is fighting for yourself. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #anxietydisorder

My meals haven’t exactly been on track lately but I’m getting there again, so dinner is: a burger patty, lettuce wrapped with some mayo + sugar free ketchup & mustard. Random fact I love mustard so much that I dip my veggies in it and like it in my tuna. 😂😂🙃

“Diets don’t work, you gain it all back and then some”

Diets definitely work. The issue lies in the misconception that they’re temporary.

Dieting is more or less a lifelong contract. You sign up to be aware of your intake on some level, indefinitely.

Here’s how dieting works:

You choose a diet plan. Keto, paleo, intermittent fasting, whatever.

You calculate your bmr and tdee and set a calorie limit.

You follow your diet while tracking your calories. The strictness and accuracy you hold yourself to is up to you, some people are able to avoid counting altogether, and some need to use an app.

Check up on yourself. Check your weight and/or your measurements. If you aren’t losing or are gaining, reassess your caloric goals and either lower your limit or add some exercise.

Once you reach your goal weight, again calculate your bmr and tdee. It will be lower. You cannot return to the diet you previously held. If you want to keep the weight off, you will need to eat in a range near your tdee, and check your weight regularly.

If you see a diet as a temporary fix, and think your habits can resume the same way once you’re smaller, then of course you will regain the weight and the diet will have “failed”.

Thanks for your time.

Well hello there beautiful

I know, I know I went MIA again. I’ve been dealing with a lot of health issues lately (mental health and some physical side effects) but I’m trying to get myself into a better place again, so that I can start posting again regularly because lawd knows I love you guys and I love sharing my journey. And with opening myself up again the reason that I have been for so long up-and-down on this weight-loss journey is because so many times my eating disorder from my past creeps back in and then I self sabotage to not let it get out of control and I end up in stagnant water 🤦🏻‍♀️. I’ve been maintaining my weight for months now and not putting in any real effort into losing weight because I’ve been dealing with things in my own head. But I’m realizing I need to get out of my own head and start taking some damn action.

I will be back and better than ever I just need a lil bit of time to sort my head out. Xo

I’m still exhausted 😩😂 I haven’t gotten caught up on sleep still, so tonight the mini & I are snacking on this as dinner: cheese 🧀 + meatballs (6 for each since that’s the serving; and I added jerk seasoning) + cauliflower + cucumber 🥒 + French onion dip. I WILL be in bed by 8:30 tonight so I’m not an unmotivated zombie tomorrow. 🧟‍♀️

[holyroxybatman-blog]

When you want sushi but you’re hashtag lazy & hashtag low carb...🤣 nori + cream cheese + cucumber 🥒 gonna eat a lot of these and go to bed early tonight cause I haven’t properly slept since Friday...💁🏻‍♀️ adulting; bring on the soy sauce 👅

So the weather finally broke enough yesterday to bury Precious (see my insta story while it’s still there 💔🐶) it was a tough day for the man & the boys; back to posting today. Breakfast is unconventional: broccoli & cauliflower salad with bacon & cheddar. I haven’t weighed myself in a few days but I’m not worried about it. Staying on track is key, even more so during stressful times. Push on.
