Am I the only one who thinks that this is as distorted of a body image as skin and bones??

youngmoneymilitia: I am in no way shape or form prepared for my dance final tomorrow…. this just made me remember how ill prepared I actually am.  This just reminds me how incredibly inflexible I am. And how tight my left hamstring is ;_;

I’m back~

Well, it’s happened that I’ve been away from Tumblr for a LONG ASS TIME! Over a month. But I think I needed the break. I tend to get OCD and go through tumblr until I’ve seen all the posts and I just didn’t have time to do that when I was trying to plan my grad party, finish up classes, and get my ass gradumacated. And I did! I just graduated with a BA in Asian Studies with a concentration in East Asia, Japanese, and Linguistics (triple major FTW). Also big time news: I got a job in Japan!! I’ll be teaching English with the JET Programme, destination TBA but in Japan so yay.

Now for my health and fitness report: well finals takes it toll. I stopped counting calories (which was my diet plan for 4 months) at the end of April. And I don’t think I’ve been to the gym since…March probably. I feel awful because of the money I’m wasting that I can’t even cancel the membership since I bought 6 months in advance and now I’m going to go back but still I feel like I wasted $60 from those two months of not going AT ALL. Not to say I haven’t been active, I’ve been so active running all over campus and shopping hardcore; I even went to Zumba once (not at my gym though, a lady at my parent’s church teaches it in the church gym). All in all, it wasn’t terrible. I did gain 4.2lbs at the end there but it might have been worth it just to not worry about what I’m eating or weighing in or did I exercise today? and just focus on school one last time. And I’ve lost 2.2lbs since then, so I’m only set back 2lbs and I’ve still down 8.6lbs since the beginning of the year. Last time this year, I was down to 141.2 at the end of April, which is the smallest I’ve been in forever but then I gained 4lbs over my birthday week and another 5.8lbs with finals and going on vacation right after college let out. So, in comparison, this year I’ve definitely done better. And I’m going to keep at it! I’m not going to gain it all back after summer break. And who knows? Maybe since I won’t be able to find all my familiar comfort/junk food in Japan, it’ll be even easier to lose weight! Although, I’ve been told gym memberships are upwards of $90 a month there, yikes. I hope there’s some nice places to jog outdoors. Speaking of, my friend and I have started the couch to 5k program and it’s kicking my ass. No joke. But I’m doing the color run in July in Minnesota and I don’t want to be embarrassed haha. So, I will push through.

Nice to see you all again! Look forward to more posts and also check out my food blog http://what-i-putinmymouth.tumblr.com/ which I will be starting up again too. In August, the food pictures should get really interesting haha.

I’m getting really fucking sick of tumblr. It’s just a bunch of girls putting themselves down and refusing to listen to anyone who says they are beautiful. (Yea, I’m one of them) Idk it’s just pissing me off right now because like 90% of the girls I follow…if only you knew how many people wished they had YOUR body. Love yourself. Please. PLEASE. Then maybe I could love myself too.

keep-calm-get-skinny: iwillmakeyouskinny: 1. Thou Shalt Not Wear Pants that Stretch Your clothing is an early-warning system for weight gain. When it’s getting hard to snap your jeans, you know it’s time to be vigilant. Wearing stretchy clothes allows you to live in ignorance of how your body is growing, making it easier to pack on pounds without knowing it. 2. Thou Shalt Not Keep Fat Clothes in Your Closet When you keep the clothes you wore at an unhealthy weight, it gives you a back-up plan if the pounds don’t come off. Instead, force yourself to stay on track by 86ing your “fat pants.” 3. Thou Shalt Not Eat Meat That Walks on Four Legs More Than Once a Week Meat that comes from an animal with 4 legs is higher in saturated fat (the unhealthy kind) than that which comes from 2-legged animals such as chickens, or animals with no legs, like fish. Plus: women who eat large amounts of red meat more than once a week have a 50% higher chance of dying from heart disease and have higher cancer rates. 4. Thou Shalt Not Graze Plan your meal before you open the refrigerator, get what you need, and close the door. Opening it throughout the day leads to impulsive choices and overeating. 5. Thou Shalt Not Eat After 7:30pm When you eat late at night you are more likely to be eating in front of the TV (when you won’t pay attention to how much you’re putting in your mouth) and you’re more likely to pick high-calorie snacks. 6. Thou Shalt Not Pile Food More than 1 Inch High or Within 2 Inches of the Plate Edge Larger portions equal more calories. ‘Nuff said. 7. Thou Shalt Not Chew Food Less than 20 Times Per Bite Chewing allows your body to realize that you are eating food, prompting it to create a sensation of fullness at the appropriate time. When you don’t chew enough, you get ahead of that process, eating well past when you are actually satisfied. 8. Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor’s Plate Spend your day nibbling bites on someone else’s sandwich or afternoon snack, and you will add on 1,000 calories easy. 9. Thou Shalt Not Carry Small Bills Nothing loves a small bill better than a vending machine. When you have them at the ready, you are one step closer to an impulsive, calorie-loaded afternoon slip up. 10. Thou Shalt Not Eat While Standing Up Eating sitting down enables you to be aware of what you’re eating and eat it slowly so that your body can tell you your full before it’s too late. I do most of these things, lol. The only thing I don’t do is eat red meat often.I don’t see the point in making things difficult with all of these dumb rules. I refuse to count the amount of times I chew my food, it seems like an obsessive/odd behavior to me.. Ehh. I always eat off of Taylor’s plate.. and never have I added an extra 1000 calories to my intake.  Jesus. Why complicate things with rules like this? Just eat healthy, stay active and you’ll lose weight. It is that simple. No, no, no. This is terrible. Unless you were looking for more ways to feed into your eating disorder and make you feel bad about yourself, this is not the answer to anything. How about, eat some vegetables, go for a run, and love your body? Fuck off Dr Oz.
