Weight loss cat!

You’ve been visited by the weight loss kitty, it’s cheering for you.

You’ll lose more than 10 lbs this month, the cat believes.

Reblog to activate!

[iridescentcosmicwitch]

I reblog stuff like this because I believe that if we keep putting positive affirmations into our brains, whether consciously or unconsciously, we act in ways to make those affirmations come true.

If you look at it that way, it's easier to "believe" any of these things because they're reminders to keep at it!

Date: 17 Aug '20 (technically 18th now... thanks to allergies keeping me up)

Weight: 172 lbs

-

I stopped focusing on my weight loss so it's stagnated at around 170ish (better than gaining, but also not good enough, I want to make significant progress (reach between 160 to 150lbs) by the end of the year.)

This last month we got a lot of take-away... I don't even know why because I don't like getting too much take-away food because of money and general health, but I really fancied it.

What's done is done. Just because we have a few set-backs, doesn't mean we've outright failed. We must pick up where we left off and move on, always trying to improve.

Things to re-focus on (because they've helped me before):

1. Calorie control & swaps (if I must have chocolate, I'll have dark chocolate (it helps with feeling full and decreases appetite, thus reduced calorie intake))

2. Drink more water (I lost my water bottle so I stopped keeping on top of this, but water is amazing for making you feel more full - also, hydration is so SO important)

3. Have my coffee unsweetened (I actually like my coffee this way, sometimes I add vegan milk for a treat (nutritional stuff is a benefit))

4. Ease back into my 3x weekly weights workouts (makes your body feel good, helps metabolism, long-term calorie-burn, stronger healthier body, brain releases feel-good chemicals - basically, exercise is good)

5. Get back to doing my daily steps (good for health & burns calories - if doing steps outsid, it's even more beneficial)

Improvements I'd like to make

1. Start cardio workout (getting affordable equipment might help?)

2. To keep motivated, start a reward system (with rewards that ARE NOT food/drink (good examples: pampering, new tattoos, new shoes, etc))

3. Visual reminder somewhere I can easily see (I'm thinking a corkboard with thinspo, measurement goals, weekly workout checklist, milestones achieved, and the reward chart)

4. My bf is skinny but wants to build muscle. If we had a joint reward system, this might motivate us to encourage each other as well as feeling more inclined to succeed (either to not let the other person down or purely in a friendly-competition sense) because I've heard that having a fitness partner can help with getting results. It might also make the process more enjoyable and act as a bonding activity.

I've got some home improvement to do tomorrow so I'm going to work on this during breaks and stuff.

3 months

It takes 3 months to make a drastic change to your appearance. By September you can be at your goal weight. By October you can dress in that Halloween costume you were waiting to wear until you lost the weight. By November you can wear big sweaters and cute socks and look ADORABLE. By December you can actually enjoy the holidays and not be concerned about that extra fat you used to carry around. By January, you can cross out “lose weight” from your New Year’s resolution because you were disciplined enough to get to your goal weight a long time ago. Just imagine where you could be if you just stick to your plans for the next 3 months.

God I hope so

love yourself

[iridescentcosmicwitch]

This month has been so stressful that I've not been focused on my weight so it's been stagnant (between 166 to 172 lbs)

I haven't gained at least, so I don't feel too bad. I'm just a bit frustrated that I allowed stress overwhelm and distract me.

Weight this week: haven't been weighing myself, but today I'm 166.6 lbs

Haven't felt a need to come on here for inspo because things happening offline are so stressful. A neighbour that doesn't like us has spread slander to other neighbours. The lies make is look so evil that we've been threatened by neighbours we have nothing to do with, and we now fear going out because honestly. We can't get through to the cpps because they have a high volume of calls at the moment.

I feel sick with stress and barely want to eat. I've lost weight but I wanted to lose it healthily, so I don't know what to make of the loss.

[louanaisana]

A gentle reminder to myself to

🌸🌻🌼°°•☆°🌻🌸🌻°•°○🌼🌻°•☆🌸

STOP using FOOD as a REWARD

🌸°🌻°•🌼🌻🌸🌻°•☆•🌼🌻°•☆•°🌸

No, you do not deserve that cake/cookie/candy/cheesy greasy thing.

You DO deserve a hot bath, a new candle, a lazy day with a book or Netflix,

You deserve things that are good. You do not deserve to stuff your body with junk and call it a treat. That is not a treat. You deserve better.

im not a dog even tho i treat myself like one

Weight this week: fluctuating between 172 and 169.8 lbs

I ate more than I intended to this week but I won't give. I've increased my daily steps from 10k to 17k and I've started to form the habit of drinking a lot more water. This helps with feeling less hungry.

It's a waning moon atm. I read somewhere that this can represent a shrinking waistline for weight loss spells, so as a baby witch I've started to prepare ingredients and supplies for a weight loss charm bag & spell (to encourage the motivation and persistence I'll need to reach my goal.) I also have a crystal that supposedly helps break bad habits such as overeating - I'm going to cleanse and charge it, then carry it in my pocket/bag. Every little helps.

Tips to avoid binging

-I know you've heard this a lot but drinking cold water helps a lot to keep your stomach full.

-Drink coffee and tea.

-Bite ice. This will confuse your brain and it will make you think that you're eating.

-Just stop for a minute and think if you're really hungry. Most of the people end up binging because they're feeling bored or sad so try to keep your mind occupied.

-Try to remove temptations.

-I personally recommend to do yoga. It keeps you occupied and helps you to feel better with yourself.

I really hope this tips help you guys.

Reddit is truly my go-to source of legitimate and non-photoshopped thinspo, at this point

[aidashakur]

I owe it to myself to be consistent.

I owe it to myself to be disciplined.

I owe it to myself to stay focused.

A NEW SAFE FOOD RECIPE!!!

“gnocchi” soup

this isn’t really gnocchi soup because the pieces of “gnocchi” aren’t shaped like the traditional cylinders but they taste just as good

ingredients:

1 egg white- 17 cal

1 1/2 Tbsp all purpose flour- 46 cal

1 Tbsp or 1 cube bouillon- 5 cal

2 cups water - 0 cal

any spices and seasoning you want (i used paprika, garlic powder, white pepper, and salt)

any and as many veggies you want (i used tomatoes, mushroom, peas, and scallions)

directions:

bring water to a boil and add your bouillon and spices for flavor

combine the flour and egg white to make a paste like dough

add vegetables to seasoned boiling water

get the egg and flour dough and drop tiny spoonfuls of the dough into the boiling water

continue boiling until the dough cooks through (about 3 more minutes)

serve and enjoy!!

it’s super low cal and soooo so filling for only about 65 cals without your choice of veggies

if anyone tries this make sure you let me know because i 100% recommend it!!!
