Leg day yesterday. This was my feel good selfie.

Had a fantastic day in Newport, RI with my boyfriend. We passed a house being lifted or something. It was an unusual sight to see. We went to our favorite seafood restaurant there where we know we can get a clean meal. I must have had like 14 raw shellfish. I had 6 shrimp cocktail and then a fish dish sprinkled with bread crumbs, garden salad, and some of the best coleslaw I've ever eaten. Mario had the same thing. It was great because it was happy hour and everything was super cheap! Then we went shopping and came home. Tomorrow it's back to Hartford so I can make it to rehearsal for Othello. It's been such a great day.

Rehearsal for Othello!

It has been a BUSY 2 days. Yesterday was the gym and grocery shopping. Then my mom and I had an idea about the dog downstairs. She has been obnoxiously howling for about 2 months. We come to find out that the owner needs someone to take care of her during the day. So last night we decided that we would dog sit her while the owner is at work. The owner loved this idea and so today I spent the day taking care of her. It was very easy, but also quite draining. However, I loved every moment of it. She's a sweetheart! We spent an hour and a half at the dog park and she loved it. =D

If Animals Could Talk

What I did: 1) found a workout that I could tolerate (Zumba) until I learned to fall in love with fitness. 2) Stopped eating like a child and learned to eat like an adult. Veggies, fruits, whole grains. I ditched the fast, easy, & cheap food mentality and got serious about food. 3) Took a breath and prepped myself for a journey, not a sprint. It takes time to completely change your life and shed 100+ pounds.

What I DIDN’T do: 1) Diet Pills- although my pictures are constantly stolen and used on the sites. I didn’t take them. You don’t need them. Skinny doesn’t grow on trees. Fat burners don’t grow on trees.

2) Restrict my calories. Although I adopted a vegan lifestyle (and still do!) I did not restrict my calories. I ate between 1,700-2,200 calories. Food is fuel. Feed your body healthy fuel and your body will run at 100%, reduce your fuel supply and say goodbye to an efficient metabolism.

3) Kill myself on the treadmill: while I didn’t limit my fitness options. If I didn’t enjoy something, I didn’t continue to do it. I hate running. And I hate mornings. So I didn’t run and I don’t workout in the morning. I designed a fitness regime that was about ME and not what I read in a magazine.

This is your journey! Make it about you!

Woke up and looked out the window and it was fine so decided to get ready to go to the gym. 5 mins laters I’m standing at the front door looking out at torrential rain.

So I was like “Nah it’s a sign, gym is not happening today” So I collapse down on the couch ready to spend my evening there, probably order pizza and celebrate exam results. But after another five minutes I realise it’s not a ‘sign’ it’s an obstacle. And obstacles are meant to be overcome.

So ya boy is just about to leave and trudge his way to the gym. At least I’ll be saturated well before the sweat even had a chance.

You can’t tell me what to do

[stayhungry-stayfree]

You know what irks me? Society’s continual endorsement that an individual who is heavier who loves their body is brave. Don’t get me wrong. Loving yourself is brave and something to be applauded and celebrated. But it’s brave for anyone at any size. The inherent notion that only heavier people should have a more difficult time with this is realistically just one more extension of the thin ideal. It’s looking at that woman wearing a bikini and saying to her, “Wow, you’re so brave.” It’s condescendingly saying, “Wow, even in spite of your weight you can love yourself.” Fuck that. Self-love is not and should not depend on weight. Ever. Your beauty and worth transcend the external shell you occupy. Don’t let anyone or anything tell you anything different.

This is what I need right now. I don’t feel like giving up, but I feel like I’m losing a battle. I am going to keep finding ways to defeat it, but I cannot seem to reach the goal I want. No matter what I do I have this belly. No matter how much exercise, how healthy my diet is. It doesn’t matter. So I have to stay strong and continue the search, the search I feel like I’ve been doing for years now. I have complete faith the answer is out there and that PCOS cannot stop me from getting where I want to be, but I could really use the support right now, cysters.
