wake up call

I promise there is a reason you are doing this. It's been a long journey, but you've finally found the secret to a new healthy and maintainable lifestyle! You just have to keep doing it and not give up. To help, here's a reminder of why you're doing this:

To feel more confident

To be healthier

To stop comparing yourself to other people (friends, family, & strangers)

To see the looks on their faces when you go home

To finally be "that" girl

To get positive attention (not gonna lie)

To buy new clothes

To look good in a swimsuit

To start school in the fall looking gooood

To look good on the WA trip

To look good when visiting cousins/grandparents over the summer

To wear more of your cute crop tops

To get drunk faster

To win friendly competitions (wall sits, stretches, planks)

To be more flexible

To have better skin

To exercise willpower

To make up for the last 3 years of feeling unsuccessful in being healthy

To run a marathon someday

To save money

To have a healthier relationship with food

For a sharp jawline

For pretty hands

For a nice booty

For longer looking legs

For a flat stomach

For cheekbone definition

To succeed! Honestly that's the best part. Just knowing that you CAN do this and you DID the damn thing.

So keep these things in mind! Look at your own writings, at pictures, at health information. Distract yourself. Complete healthy habits. Love yourself and be forgiving, but be strong. Exercise that willpower. Remember that you are doing this for you.

all it should take if you’re disciplined enough is three to four months. you’ll be at you goal weight in four months.

the food will still be there in four months. mcdonald’s will still exist in four months. that donut place will still be there after four months. food won’t leave, it’ll still be there when you’re skinny. why eat it now? why not eat it when you’ve reached your goal?

Okay, but, there is literally no reason you won’t lose weight. If you keep restricting and fasting and exercising, there’s literally NO way you won’t lose weight. You will reach your goal weight, no doubt, unless you give up. Keep yourself controlled, and there’s no way you won’t reach it. Even if it takes ages, but just think. All you need to do today is exercise and restrict, and tomorrow you’ll wake up closer to your goal. Repeat, repeat, repeat, and you will get there.

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.

what happens during a fast

1. starting at your last bite of food: your body is breaking down the food is your stomach; it takes hours for the food to be digested and nutrients stored; half will be used for nutrients and half will be stored as fat

2. once your stomach is empty your body will release a hormone making you hungry, then your body will use fat to get 60-70% if it’s energy

3. after 16 hours your body will start to make glucose and if you don’t have enough it will break down muscle proteins (starts to increase significantly after 28 hours)

4. between 16 and 72 hours fasting your body will start to break down muscle

most weight loss will happen between 16 and 72 hours

I am 100% in control of what I eat. I do not need to binge or eat foods that will make me fat, I can control what goes into my body. I can control how I look. It’s up to me now.

‼️HOWEVER‼️

There are times when everyone NEEDS to eat! Please don’t fast for too long, if you’re struggling to eat even after fasting, or if you just cant imagine eating but you are hungry, please take a breath and try to eat something small like an apple or some grapes (those are 2 of my safe foods that i never feel guilty for eating, just examples). Don’t go too hard on yourself, i know this type of disorder is hard to fight sometimes, but you need to try to at least keep yourself alive!

love you all stay safe🖤
