Absence - -

Wow, I can't even remember the last time I was here... I missed this...
So many things have happened in between.... a death... a serious health issue followed by an operation... a new job.... a new lease on life (the last two being mine...)
But tomorrow is a new day, and I shall begin this again with new targets and weight loss goals.

On a different note, I found an e-mail regarding a blogging award...Apparently, back in October my blog was selected as a pro-ana blog winner and I was asked to collect my badge from their website....
(my blog has been listed here)
needless to say, i'm not going that way.... this is not a  pro-ana blog.
just a weight-loss one - albeit a little unconventional....

anywhoooo.... like I said... tomorrow's a new day.... :)

Besos.

[FML?]

Sometimes I think the whole universe is conspiring against me! Just when I thought I could finally do this, two of my cousins walk into my life and basically ruin everything! : /
They are here for a short holiday (about 2 weeks, they will be leaving next Monday)...my diet plan has basically gone outta the window :(
I have been eating out everyday - and they opt for places where I can't even pick a decent healthy meal :(
And if I cut down on portion sizes I have to hear stuff like, "Don't bother. Weight loss isn't for people like us!" WTF???
(for the record both of them are pretty 'normal')
Ugh! I'm so bugged. I'm not even close to them. :(
Can't blog much...will post some thinspo sooon!

Pretty Thin...

Nothing much to blab about...just been working out and trying to eat 'sensibly'. :)
Lost 8lb in the past two weeks so I'm happy!! But I can't seem to fit into that shirt yet! : / Maybe it's just water weight that I've lost...? Anyway, not gonna stress about all this. Is anyone here on Pretty Thin? If you are then add me...My profile name is 'skinnyxdreams'. I don't know why I haven't mentioned this before. I log in there more frequently than here.... It's great for support and motivation! :)
See you there then.

I Am Mean...

I love watching fat people on Wipeout...there I said it!
Yeah, I know, I'm fat too...but come on...it's a riot watching them going 'boink!' and then 'splat!' :P
It's not that funny when the skinny people fall....(and this also gives me motivation...I picture myself going 'boing, boing, splat!' and everyone laughing at me)... Fat people just 'fall funny'  :P
Weird?? Mean??
I guess so...but here's the only place I could 'say' it out loud!

How I Stop Myself from Binging

Okay...before anyone starts making assumptions, this entry is not about 'how not to eat'. These are just ways in which I stop myself from binging/eating when I'm not supposed to...(and some of it is supposed to be funny)... :) :)

* Watch 90210. Ok, I really hate the show (barring Jessica Stroup, she's just SO pretty!) but all those skinny girls on it make me realise how HUGE I really am. Goodbye appetite! :)

* Watch football. Although 'my' country is nowhere close to qualifying I've been rooting for Italy(sniff...sniff..) for over a decade...and now I have two other teams to support: Argentina & Spain (mainly b/c I LOOOVE Barcelona). So during those 90 minutes - I don't eat ANYTHING b/c I'm tooo anxious. :) I keep a bottle of water with me and keep sipping that every few minutes. Funny thing is, I just noticed this trend a couple of days back (damn!)...now I'm gonna watch each and every single match: including all the league ones.

* Play Left 4 Dead 2. This one's pretty straightforward. If both my hand are busy, I can't eat. :)

* Play with my pup. Everytime I get a craving I pick up the ball and play fetch with the pup. (Now he keeps bringing the ball over every few minutes..aww ) :)

* Have pictures of skinny girls every where possible: Desktop wallpaper, screen-saver, cell phone background, in my journal...and I keep changing them often...

* Make random lists (such as this) to take my mind of food.

Ok, that's all for now :)

Results!! Well Almost...

I'm super excited!! Finally beginning to see results!! :) :)
But I still have a little bit to go...will post as soon as I have reached it!! :)
Right now I'm concentrating on staying active and controlling my portions...
My day usually goes like this:
1. Wake up, breakfast: Special K + Skimmed Milk
2. Lunch - boiled veggies (a small bowl) w/ lemon juice & olive oil
3. Soup (probably a toast)
(If i get hungry in the middle I either have a few carrot or cucumber slices)
Plus:
1. A hour in the gym doing cardio + strength training
2. Walk with my dog for an hour

Yeah, it's kind crazy for me and keeps me on my toes... but I'm so excited about this. I have been following this for a week. And the thing is, if I feel like having a chocolate, I don't deny myself that. I go ahead and buy a tiny piece - so that's really working b/c I don't get tempted by these 'forbidden' food items
Anywhooooo....more sooon!
Love x
