I'm seventeen, a swimmer, looking to lose the pounds and drop the time.

Moderation is key:
- Serve yourself 1/3 less than you would normally. Losing 30 percent of your portions won’t make that much of a difference when it comes to your hunger, but it will save you a significant number of calories by the end of the day.
- Eat smaller meals more frequently. If you wait too long in between meals, your blood sugar will plummet and make you more likely to overeat at your next meal. Instead, aim for smaller meals five to six times a day. This also will allow your body enough time to process and burn the food consumed instead of storing it as fat because you’re eating more than your body can use.
- Wait at least 10 minutes before getting a second serving. You might realize you’re not that hungry after all. Sip water or seltzer during that time, as this helps fill you up and fights dehydration, which sometimes can be confused with hunger.
- Eat only when you’re hungry. Avoid eating out of boredom, stress or other emotions. If you plan on snacking while watching TV, serve yourself a portion of popcorn or pretzels in a bowl, rather than eating out of the bag. It’s easy to lose track of how much you’re eating when you’re eating out of a large package or container.
- Add lots of fiber to your diet. Fiber bulks up your meals and fills you up but has the advantage of containing few calories. Leafy green vegetables are especially high in fiber, but all vegetables and fruits are a good source.
- Don’t overdo it. If you give in to a craving and have a piece of chocolate cake, it doesn’t mean that your diet is ruined and you should eat everything you want for the rest of the day. Finish your cake, but choose healthy food choices for the rest of the day.
remember.
days 9 & 10.
This is just a quick note — I’ve been up to my eyeballs in scholarship applications the last few days, and literally have not stopped applying in any of my spare time. I’m sorry for not being on the ball as often as I should be guys. Stick with me — I’m already down a pound, and it’s getting better from there <3
I want a health mantra or something
I need something good to remind myself every morning why I am doing this and why I should keep going. Suggestions?
I like “I can, I will.” But that’s just me. :)
day 8.
Good news: I’m starting swim with the boys on Monday! Fantastic. They have harder workouts that the girls = back to my body faster than evaa. Bad news: only had time for ab workout today. :/
Mood: eh.
Food: Decent, had one chocolate bar because periods suck. (figured out why I couldn’t stop eating….bahaha)
Exercise: abs.
Tomorrow’s Goal: good food and finish up my Me Book! It’s this psych project where you psychoanalyze yourself, pretty cool :)
Goodnight lovelies <3
I am such a fatass.
oh my god….my boyfriend went on a rant today about how he hates fat girls….i dont know why he’s dating me because I’m actually a whale.
And this is why you don’t date boys, you date men.
Because a real man will not give a crap what you look like - he will love you for that smile; that sense of humour; that intelligence; that caring, generous nature; in short, he will love you for YOU, and not the box you come in.
A real man will be happy with what you look like, but equally happy to support you in your quest to be happy with yourself. He will want you to see yourself as a beautiful woman, the way that he does. A real man will never, ever call you a fatass if he knows it will hurt you. He won’t even think it to himself.
Frankly, if a guy lets you think for one instant that you are fat and that it affects his feelings for you, then that’s a reflection on him, not you. Screw losing weight to please him, you deserve better than him anyway. Leave him to play with his Lego, and go find yourself a man who will appreciate you. Every single inch of you, no matter how much they fluctuate.
Boys don’t like fatasses? Bitch, please. Last I checked, girls don’t like boys.
DAMN.

If Barbie was an actual woman, she would be 5’9” tall, have a 39” bust, an 18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe.
• Barbie calls this a “full figure” and likes her weight at 110 lbs.
• At 5’9” tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not menstruate.
• If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
• Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled “How to Lose Weight” with directions inside stating simply “Don’t eat.”people have called me Barbie since I was like 12. At first I didn’t care, but now it really bothers me when people call me Barbie. I would hate to look like ^that description^
days 6 & 7.
I’ve gotten back on track! Even though I’m not quite on track with my food intake I’m proud of myself for not giving up again.
Mood: relaxed. crampy.
Food: I still haven’t gotten the hang of eating less. I need to buckle down and start focusing on portion control.
Exercise: Hit the gym today! Two miles on the treadmill plus weights. :)
Tomorrow’s goal: workout tape and running.
