Keeping my coffee iced and black. #sugarfree
Truth is knowledge.
By Sue Quinn.
iNeed to get my hands on this book.
Here are the main lessons to be learned from Sacha Harland's experience.
What. The...
And the results will surprise you...
Vanilla Chia Pudding is basic chia pudding recipe with your favourite toppings for no fuss healthy breakfast. Vegan and gluten free.
Been enjoying adapting the crap out of chia seed pudding recipes.
And instead of prepping it the night before, I’ve just been blending it right away so I can eat it right away. (Obviously.)

A health break.
I would love one of these bags.
Don’t Tell Girls
“You’re too pretty to be single” Why is one person’s idea of ideal aestheticism A basis for a relationship status And furthermore What is so goddamn shameful or pathetic about being single anyway Is confidence and comfort in being by one’s self intimidating to you
“Swearing is unladylike” Bullshit Swears are only words And these words do not negate my intelligence, or passion, or define anything about me as a person or my character Men are never told not to swear Swear as much as you fucking want
“Your standards are too high! Just give him a chance” No You are invalidating a woman’s right to say no She doesn’t need to explain herself to anyone She doesn’t owe anyone anything Ever Everyone should have standards for themselves, and not feel like they need to lower them to please anyone Or be shamed for leading someone on when they know it would never work Because that happens too
“If you dress like that, boys will get the wrong idea” What idea might that be? That women might actually feel beautiful and confident in their own bodies? Heaven forbid Because obviously women’s bodies belong to everyone else except themselves
“Don’t frown - someone might be falling in love with your smile!” Why Is it my responsibility to always smile no matter how I feel I am a human being who is allowed to experience pain, or confusion, or sorrow, or boredom Men are never criticized for having “resting bitch face”
“Short hair makes you look like a boy!” This is assuming That there is one certain way for “boys” and “girls” to look Not so Some boys have long hair, some girls have short hair, some people who are both or neither also have hair Hair has no gender Humans are allowed to look different from each other and express themselves how they like Gender identity and gender expression are not the same
They aren’t “real” girls because they were born with a penis Anyone is a girl who says they are a girl Stop trying to undermine someone’s identity They know themselves better than you do Anatomy and identity are different, and sometimes separate Why are you so obsessed with other people’s genitals anyway
“You’re going to break a lot of hearts one day” Why would you ever Ever Say this to a girl A young, impressionable girl Breaking hearts is not a compliment, or a goal Coming from someone who has broken at least one From simply being honest and being myself It is a burden - a guilt that has been (mis)placed on my shoulders since childhood I never wanted to be labelled a heartbreaker simply for existing
“You don’t want kids? You’ll change your mind one day” No I won’t Even if I do, one day, that doesn’t make my opinion right now any less valid or deserving of respect Stop disbelieving people about their own life choices Also, having children is not a necessary milestone for a successful or fulfilling life
“Don’t have sex before marriage - boys really want a virginal girl” Sure they do And are boys ever held to that same expectation To stay virgins until marriage? Because as women are shamed for “impurity,” boys are applauded for “experience” I love the smell of double standards in the morning
“You shouldn’t wear so much makeup” The natural look is great The makeup look is great The anything you feel like doing or not doing to your own face look is great Let people do whatever they want to their own bodies Whatever makes them feel good Why do you care
“Selfies are just for attention” Maybe Maybe not What’s so wrong about liking attention What’s so wrong about feeling beautiful and confident in your own skin And wanting to share that feeling with others We were taught for so long to hate our bodies What is so threatening about finally loving them
“Cat-calling is flattering! Learn how to accept a compliment!” “I like your hair” is a compliment “You’re a really talented writer” is a compliment The gross, vulgar things that men shout at women they don’t know on the street Are not compliments They are harassment - meant to imply ownership and dominance and even violence Compliments should not make people fear for their lives walking home Compliments should not actually get people killed

Yes. Yes yes yes.
Almonds are a hungry girl’s best friend.
Documentaries worth checking out.
The Food and Drug Administration has brushed aside industry objections and will require food labels to disclose how much sugar has been added to packaged food.
Good news! More folks should be aware on how much sugar they are consuming.
So exciting! (Also, do I really want to know how much added sugar is in a box of GS cookies??! Yikes.)
Day 10 and beyond
Well, I am done with the 10 day challenge! It was hard work and took a lot of dedication to sticking to a sugar-free meal plan.
What I’ve learned through the process is that this is a life-style change.If I went back to eating how I did (for example, consuming a whole box of Girl Scout cookies while working on homework) I guarantee I would gain the weight I lost back within a few weeks, if not sooner. I’ve also learned that I don’t need sugar or beer/wine to get through the hard days. While it’s nice to take a bit or sip to relax at the end of the day, I got through the long days just fine without it. Sometimes just eating a few dates and drinking a glass of tea was all I needed; and going to bed early of course helped.
Finally, I’ve gotten braver with experimenting with food. It was kind of fun to take risks and even cooler to see that I could take away the carbs and just ate tons more veggies and still feel full.
Overall, I’ve been at this for almost 2 weeks and I’m down from 139 lbs to 134 (my weight this AM)! I can’t believe it and I’m only 4 lbs away from my summer goal. I’m excited to see where the next few weeks bring me. My skin is also looking better (far from perfect). I imagine part of it was because of this and also my increased daily water intake. Basically, if you’re up to pushing your body give this challenge a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain in terms of learning about your body and your health. New plan: mostly keep to this plan in the future; each month commit to being sugar free for 10 days. Can I do it?? Check back in June to see ;)
Interesting read from @lovethepnw

So  technically should have been day 10 of the challenge but on Friday and Saturday I was out of town on a throw-back adventure of my college town. I did the best I could but I wanted to enjoy myself also. My menu on Friday looked something like this: cold oats & strawberries, tea, pita chips & hummus, beer, beer, beer, creme brulee, creme brulee, falafel pita, & tea. Not horrrrrrrrrrrrible, but not ideal either. I talked to my friend T extensively about this challenge while I was up there. While we initially called Friday and Saturday “cheat days,” I really didn’t like that. I didn’t feel like I was cheating; I was enjoying some really great food and enjoying it, knowing I would go back to sugar free in just 36 hours. So we started calling it “pause days,” which I enjoy a lot more. :)
It’s great to eat healthy and take care of your body and I truly appreciate those who have such dedication to their diets and way of life. But my sugar tooth will never truly be gone and I really do think that occasional decadence and indulgences can be lovely and freeing. Now to work off this beer belly I’ve managed to obtain in 2 days. #27yearsyoung
