Get out there and EAT!

Alright girls. Here is something that you should know ... men like you a little "rounder," a little "healthier," a little "more to love."

Believe me. I've done a survey. I've asked around. Guys like to envision their women as a woman that is going to be strong enough to bear their children. They want them to have wider hips ... a healthy weight.

I'm not saying that they all want women that are over-weight because that isn't it at all. But they do want women that are healthy and confident in their body image.

So why do you girls think that it is OK to starve yourself? Why do you think that it is OK to not give yourself the nutrients that you need? How is this helping things?

I'm sick of not eating what I want to eat. I'm sick of skipping a meal because I think that in the long run it's going to do me some good. It's not going to do me any good. I have a bad body image, really. I look at myself in the mirror and see all of the flaws, I do.

I know that I need to lose weight ... so I go to the gym nearly every single day for about a hour. I know that I need to lose weight ... so I chose not to eat that ice cream cone.

I know all of these things. But I also know that I am not going to get down to my "goal weight" by starving myself. I'm not going to get down to my "goal weight" by not giving my body the food that it needs to survive.

So what is it girls? Do you want to be healthy ... or do you want to be skinny? Do you want to be able to have children? Or do you want to be bone thin? Do you want to eat healthy food? Or do you want to skip meals so that your bones can show through?

I hope that you chose being healthy, being able to have children, and eating healthy food. I don't think that God put you on this planet to torture yourself.

Get out there ... and eat!

(And then work out!)

Master Cleanse Day 2

WT: 180
(So, I've lost three pounds since I weighed on Sunday)

It's 12:05, I haven't had any of the "shakes" as of yet, but I did drink the Salt Water thing this morning and it took about 45 minutes before it started to take effect ... if you know what I mean.

I can't really decide if I'm hungry or not ... I mean my stomach is growling ... but I have already gone one day with out eating any food ... so I feel like I just have to continue. Especially having lost 3 pounds.

Therefore, things are still going well :)



MASTER CLEANSE DAY 1

I did not drink the SW stuff, because I had to go to school and so I didn't want to have to pull over to go to the bathroom or anything like that. I did drink my Shakes however, and I slept for a few hours to take away from the hunger that I felt.

I'm not feeling "sick" or anything like that ... although, last night before I went to bed I had a headache.

Working on a new me.

As of yesterday I started my new work out regime. Aaron and I are going to start running everyday. My machine of choice is the elliptical. I set it up on cardio and run two miles. Aaron ran/walked two miles on the treadmill but only did one today because he didn't want to over-exert himself before he went to work.

I also plan on doing the "master cleanse" (google it) starting the 21nd of this month. We are going to eat a really nice dinner at Pappa's steakhouse on Saturday the 20th ... so that should be a perfect way to end my eating for a bit.

It's a ten day cleanse where I drink a lot of this "lemonade" type concoction with Cheyenne pepper and maple syrup or something like that. I've researched it and it seems like it works for a lot of people. I'm only doing it for ten days ... and I will be getting all of the nutrients that I need. Therefore, I do not need any one's negative opinions please.

Homework is a daunting task.

I have to run off to the store ... and then come home and start on the homework process + clean house.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
