Starbucks

my vice.
i know so many of the drinks are super high fat/calorie, not to mention stupidly overpriced.. yet i cant get enough of it! i have one pretty much everyday, or at least four or five times a week..
yuck, i know.

i do try to get the drinks to be somewhat healthy (non-fat, no whip, etc) but wouldnt it be lovely to be able to simply eliminate something that is so obviously contributing to my grotesque fat belly. but no matter how hard i try i always end up going back.. BUT as with food, this calls for extreme willpower. i am better than starbucks, i dont need it. from now on i will limit myself to one a week.

do any of you have vices like this?
and what are your favourite "healthy" starbucks treats?

work was nice and long today... super busy, so no time to eat even if i wanted to! had about three coffees with one packet of 2 cal sweetener in each, and a whole load of water with lemons. so along with the english muffin i had for breakfast, today i will have consumed... somewhere around 200-250 cals?

not bad for a restriction day =)

i plan to start my fast tomorrow. water and coffee only, until wednesday! wish me luck!

Long day ahead..

my weight is now 115.. down an lb ! =)

today i will be working 12-8, so that is a good excuse for me not to eat (or eat very minimally) all day. nobody will be watching me too closely so nothing will appear suspicious! i will allow myself water and coffee for while im at work.

i am restricting to 300 cals.

i want to fast this week starting monday (tomorrow).
it is the start of a new month so its a fresh start for me as well
if i can hold the fast until wednesday, ill see how i feel and maybe extend it to friday. ill be drinking loads of water, and coffee if i need to. wish me luck with this!

i dont really care for my job, but i do appreciate that its quite strenuous and very active. i work in a restaurant, so i am constantly running around, with very little rest. great for burning cals and getting exercise! the only downside is that of course, everywhere i look, there is food. and its good food. i have to try soo hard not to pig out everytime there is food for the staff.. the kitchen always gives us treats like chocolate cake and deep fried squid and french fries and UGH everything there is so unhealthy.

then again, i get a lot of my reverse thinspo at my workplace. countless fat/obese people come in everyday and gorge themselves on pizza, woks, ribs, wings, etc. just shovelling it down. watching it makes me sick.

so as long as i can resist all the delicious food around me, i should be okay for today.


think thin!

Sleepyhead

last night was great with my girls
drank way too much though
didnt get to sleep until about 7am
and im definitely feeling it now lol

managed to avoid eating too much at grandmas
she always makes stew of some kind
this one had pork and beef and potatoes etc.
i nibbled on it a bit and managed to make it look like i had a decent sized helping.

my weight today remains at 116.
im surprised it didnt go up after all the eating and drinking that took place last night
not that im complaining !

off to the boyfriend's house now
we are likely going out to dinner..
looks like it will be salad for me again lol

or ignore it all together lol.

im a generally happy person
i have great friends and a lovely bf
a good family and good home and all that

but one thing i have never been happy with is my body.

in fact, im more than unhappy with it.

i hate it.

maybe in some future posts ill post pics
but not right now, im too much of a cow
i dont wanna gross anyone out.

im definitely not obese or anything

just way too large for my liking.

so as i embark on this journey to maybe find some happiness

lose some (lots of) weight and not look like a whale

i already keep up with a few blogs about weight and ED and ana etc.
