Haha thanks love, I will:) xo
Ten Things To Do When You Feel Like Crap:
1. Have a really hot, long shower. Cry if you need to. Sit on the ground. Feel sorry for yourself. Let the steam soak into your skin. Let the hot water wash your face clean. But the moment you turn off that water, you are done feeling sorry for yourself. Make a decision to move on from that sadness.
2. Clean. I know, cleaning is boring and annoying - but how about that feeling you get when you are finished? The clean small of the vacuum? That feeling of accomplishment? Who knows, you might even find money along the way. Totally worth it. It’s like starting with a clean slate.
3. Call a friend you haven’t spoken to for a while. If your first choice doesn’t pick up, choose someone else. Ask them all about how their lives are going and tell them about yours. Not only will it take your mind off whatever crappy thing you have been plagued by, but you will laugh with them! Laughing triggers endorphins and endorphins make you happy!
4. Go for a run or a walk. This get’s your endorphins and dopamine going crazy. You will get more energy and more happiness just because the chemicals in your body are running around!
5. Stop and take it all in. Walking in the night? Stop and look at the stars. Breathe in the cold air. Feel alive.
6. Stop whining. Ever heard the saying “love life and life will love you back”? Or, the idea of the power of attraction? It’s true! If you sit around saying “why me, waaaaa waaaa” then bad things will happen to you. You’re already defeated. If you start saying, “I will be happy, I will accomplish my ambitions, I will find love, I do look amazing, I am a great friend” etc., then not only will you start to believe them but you will be amazed at what amazing things start to happen.
7. Drink tea. This always works. Not a tea fan? Try hot water with a slice of lemon and some agave syrup.
8. Make a conscious decision to stop holding certain grudges. We all have people we have held grudges on in the past. Let them go. If you feel like you owe this person an apology, don’t be too proud. Send them a sincere facebook apology. Sincerity is in the intent, so even if it’s a 2 sentence apology - as long as you mean it it’s worth it.
9. Cook some really nice, warm food. Stimulate your taste buds with anything as simple as two minute noodles or as lavish as a three course garlic bread, pasta bake, chocolate mousse triple combo.
10. Write down a list of goals to achieve for the week. As simple as “buy insect repellent” or as large as “jog for 25 minutes non stop” and tick them off when they’re done. You will feel very accomplished and that alone will help pep up your mood!

I love this, I use these things when I am feeling down and they really work!
If you crave a doughnut.. EAT A DOUGHNUT.
You can try all the different healthy combinations in the world to get rid of that craving, but in the end, it won’t taste like that doughnut. If you give into a craving then you are less likely to binge on food while trying to find an alternative. Maybe do a plain instead of a glazed with sprinkles, or do sweet potato or roasted plaintain chips with plain greek yogurt.
If you deny a craving for long enough, it’ll lead to a binge, and then you’ll feel even worse about yourself. If you crave something and you’re hungry, just eat it. Most of the time you won’t over do it and just eat a little, which will satisfy your craving.
That’s just my opinion xo

Tomorrow is June..
Body wise, I feel like I have accomplished nothing. Taken a few steps back, even.
Intuitive eating/recovery wise, I feel like I have conquered the world.

I’m not really sorry that I’m not happy all of the time.
Recovery isn’t a joke.
It’s not easy.
It’s DEFINITELY not fun.
It’s not some easy-to-navigate gravel road.
No, you’ve gotta take an axe and cut down your own goddamn trees and make your own goddamn path because there sure as hell isn’t one that’s already cut out for you.

sexychocolatedinosaur asked: Could you promote this? I'm a college student studying nutrition but my student bills and medical/dental bills have overwhelmed me to where I may not be able to continue my education unless it gets paid off. Anyone who donates $1 will get a year of my meal plan of the month club for free. My fitblr is Convenient and Clean, but it'll be the first post on this blog! |

Anonymous asked: Thank you so much for being so honest in your last post. I'm glad to see someone be so upfront about her "flaws" (for lack of a better word!) and still loving her body. You go girl!! <3 seriously, it made my day just a bit better. Ahlalala thank you:) this is why I love tumblr, because I feel so safe when I post my mini-rants on here.. I know I’m not going to be judged. But thank you so much this message made me smile! xo |
Just had an ‘AHA!’ body moment
I’m happy with the way I look.
I wrote down all of my flaws today: I have alot of fat around my stomach. I have major lovehandles. I hate how small my boobs are. My thighs are big and have more fat than muscle. My butt has cellulite that I cannot get rid off. My arms are big but not toned enough. My face could be thinner. I could weigh less. I could eat less. If I ate less, I could lose fat. Etc etc etc.
Ya know what? I don’t care anymore. I may never lose the fat aroundmy stomach, or my thighs. I’m going to try to, but for now, I love my body. I love everything that is wrong with me because It’s me. No one else in this world has my body, and that makes me feel pretty damn awesome.
I am going to make myself better. I am going to work towards lifting more and running more and losing more fat, but if it ever happens, I am perfectly fine with that. Because I love myself right now, all 5’3in and 120lbs of me.
Besides.. I really like to eat.. haha my relationship with food has gotten so much better, I can eat 2200 calories and have no problem with it.
Life is really amazing right now xo
These girls know what’s up.
This makes me so extremely happy
