Rescuing Rebekah @rescuingrebekah - Tumblr Blog

First week of college done…and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve opted for buttery, strawberry-filled, nutella-y crêpes and Snickers bars instead of something good. As a journalism major, I do a lot of writing, and I feel the need to munch while I’m working (and obsessively stressing over my words). There are better options out there, I promise!!

GUYS. Can we celebrate the fact a plus sized model is on the COVER of a running magazine?!?! Without any mention of “how to get healthy” or losing weight?! If anything, they mention that weight doesn’t matter. She looks strong and fabulous. Runners come in all shapes and sizes and it’s so awesome that Women’s Running is embracing that. I am so inspired by this.

An Open Letter To An Overeater:

Dear Itsy,

I woke up this morning with the evidence of your binge all over. I am not sure what emotions got you all worked up, but from the looks of things, hunger was not the only factor. You left your mark from the top to the bottom. I am not writing this letter with judgement, and this isn’t an intervention. This is an open letter, hoping it reaches you, and you know that you are not alone. I too have over done it. I was eating myself to death, just 11 months ago. Maybe you had family drama, perhaps there was a trauma, maybe you’ve been in pain longer than you can remember. Perhaps sibling rivalry has left you feeling less than good enough, and unworthy of your own self care. If you are a mother then, enough said. I get it. What I want to say is, that it is ok that happened. I hope that today you have been able to give yourself a little extra self care and love. Even though today was national rainbow day, I hope you know that you are not alone in your binge, your frustration, your isolation, and your shame. it is important to take the next best step. So, Itsy bitsy spider, I hope that tonight when I am safely sleeping in my bed, that you, do not eat me all over. I do hope you tracked what you had. Do you have a tracking app like my fitness pal, and what does my blood go for? If you do need to eat, and again no judgement or shame coming from me, could you pick someone else? Remember if the problem isn’t hunger, food isn’t the solution.

Made it through week one, and it’s such a fucking roller coaster. I lost a pound, but it was mostly sheer dumb luck. I don’t have food diaries for the past few days because I didn’t bother. I just....feel really overwhelmed.

But I’m not giving up. I can’t. So yeah...that’s the update for the week.

#food diary #or lack therof #food addiciton

So I have been very, very far from perfect the past few days. I'm still channeling my inner hobbit and having a fourth meal even when I'm not that hungry. BUT I'm at least owning up to it and keeping to the writing down part, so I'm counting it a minor win. Baby steps and all that....

Day one of this reboot, and damned if I didn't give into impulse and get fast food Chinese on the way home from buying produce at the grocery store. Definitely highlighted how far I've fallen and how much I need to turn it back around. Here's to a better effort tomorrow.

this is the kind of positivity i need. sometimes fitblrs fill my dash with unrealistically skinny/muscular/perfect women with body types i could never achieve and it can make me so depressed I can’t stand to look in the mirror
