Edit: After the below update there was a pandemic and I went up even more to 285 pounds. Finally on the way down again. 239 and dropping! Hi I'm Sarah and updating this profile is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do however accepting my current reality is a necessary step to moving forward. I was overweight my entire life. At 5 foot 8 I eventually got myself up to 260 plus pounds. Then about 5 years ago I finally made a change. In a period of 2 years I lost 130 pounds and became amazingly healthy fit and happy. I found a passion for nutrition and even ran a half marathon among other fitness accomplishments. I was a completely different person. I believed that nothing in the world would ever cause me to gain the weight back. Believing I was immune to failure became my ultimate downfall. I let my guard down and allowing one extra indulgence led to two which led to three and you get the picture. Over the next three years my weight has slowly creeped back up. I was in denial at points in time about what was happening. I now currently weight 270 pounds. Every single pound has been regained. Admitting that devastates me but I am ready to turn it back around again. If I did it once I can do it again and this time I already have the tools I need, I just need to remember how to use them. When I do finally get back down to my goal again I will be better prepared to keep it off this time. I am excited to start making real progress in the right direction and to be back in this amazing Fitblg community of support!

Eating fat doesn't make you fat.

Eating healthy carbs doesn't make you fat.

Eating after 6pm doesn't make you fat.

The ONLY thing that makes you gain weight is eating too many calories.

That's it.

You need fat in your diet. You need carbs in your diet. You need to eat at whatever time of day suits you and your lifestyle.

What you DON'T need is extra calories from any source (unless trying to gain weight, or in certain other situations like recovery from illness etc.)

Postive effects of hydration

Water is necessary for a perfect running metabolism.

Enough water equals less chance of illnesses and bad injury rehabilitation.

Water helps with building muscles and reducing body fat.

Hydration is positive for your blood regulation, the effectiveness of your brain and the functionality of your body.

Some of y’all need to hear this

[fandomshatewomen]

I distinctly remember hearing this type of creepy shit in various places around that age and being horrified and disheartened. “This is my prime??? This is as good as it gets?”

It’s not true. I wouldn’t go back to being a teenager for love or money.

For similar but different reasons, don’t tell teens “These are the best years of your life,” even if that was true, for you. As a deeply depressed kid dealing with various kinds of abuse, this was the number 1 reason I thought about killing myself so much. What the fuck was there to look forward to if everything was already this bad.
