Now Playing Tracks

I should not have drank so much last night.

And by so much, I mean anything.

All the empty calories and dehydration.

At least it was fun.

Now off to the gym despite my tummy ache and migraine. 

kaferinisms:

Weird tmi and I don’t know how anyone could take this as tw but just in case~

Throughout the day whenever I’m not standing up I always catch myself squeezing my muscles. Specifically booty muscles. Like that’s going to burn more calories and keep it from going “flabby”

This is so awkward and I know it’s part of OE

I wish I knew how to stop lol

Girl. I know this so well. Also, in class or at work constantly engaging my core. And I’m like. Stop. Not normal. You do not need to flex your abs when greeting people at a restaurant or taking notes on Shakespeare. 

Crying after a run?

Today was my long run, 8 miles. 
7.9 to be specific. Yeah, yell at me.
Anyway, after I was done I started crying. Not even happy tears.
Like everything bad that was inside of me welled up and manifested as tears.
It didn’t help that my boyfriend wasn’t letting me live down the fact that I “ONLY” ran 7.9 not 8 like I promised. 
I know he was trying to give me tough-love as encouragement to work harder, but clearly he couldn’t tell I was having a moment. 
I know that runner’s high is real, so it makes sense that you could get a negative catharsis also.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Run feels, man. All the run feels. 

Never good enough.

So I posted the below photo set of my progress on my Facebook wall that same day. 

You know what my boyfriend’s mom texted him? 
Warnings about how my “sexually provocative pictures” are not a smart career move.

Um. 

A) I’m a dancer and musical theatre performer. I wear less clothing in my dance classes and some performances than what is pictured.

B) Pictures of a fit body will definitely fair in my favor if a casting director or agent stumbled upon my Facebook. They don’t call it a Broadway Body for nothin’!

C) Its not her place to warn me. Matt is fine with the pictures. My own mother has no problem with them. In fact, his super conservative Methodist father told him how proud he was of me. 

D) Sexually provocative? Please, I’m being the silliest in those shots. 

E) Anything good I do is always a negative.

F) I’m never going to be good enough for Matt in her eyes.

G) (This is secret, but sometimes my ED thoughts are in her voice)

H) Her own daughter, Matt’s sister whom I love dearly, has pictures of herself in bikinis and she’s 2 years younger than me. 

I) There shouldn’t be list that goes to I.

I was feeling like poop because of my recent slips in diet, exercise, ED thoughts, etc. 
I haven’t taken a picture in a while so I figured “why not.”
I started out thinking, “This is so stupid. No one wants to see that. You’re huge. You’re so far away from your goals. You’ve lost all the progress you made, idiot.” 
Then I took the pictures and realized my hard work is starting to show.
Its amazing how distorted you let your mind view yourself. 
I’m nowhere near where my goals are. They probably aren’t even realistic. 
However, I have made progress.
I have. 
My mind cannot take that away from my body.
My mind just needs to learn how to accept that. 
Also, one slice of cheesecake will not erase the month worth of salads you’ve eaten. 
Nor, will one day on the couch ruin the 6 weeks of training you have accomplished. 

A month ago, these were tight.Now they don’t even fit.I’ve been marathon training and eating at or above my BMR for a month.I’ve had slip ups, my old ED always will fight back, but I think marathon training is good for me. Even if I binge, purge, or restrict, I can go back to my fitness plan and eat regularly again.I only do the set schedule of workouts. Nothing more or less.Having a schedule really helps me feel in control of my body which lessens the frequency of my ED habits.I FEEL healthy. I FEEL strong.I haven’t felt those things in a while.
