My New Years Resolutions and My Secret Resolution: Status ACHIEVED
Hi Guys!
New Years Resolutions anyone?
Oh how I love a good resolution.
Well let me tell you this. For many years, like millions of other hopeless chumps, my resolution was to lose weight. And then after I failed so many times it became my secret resolution. Until finally I gave up.
This was the year that resolution came true. YAY MUCH?
Was it what I always hoped it would be? Kind of. I was wrong about one thing, you can be loved at any size. If someone really loves you they will think you are hot no matter what you look like. I know it’s true cause I’ve experienced it myself.
And yet, there are so many perks to thin privilege, as I used to refer to it in my many arguments about fat acceptance with people.
What boggles my mind the most was that I was being fed half truths and outright lies about weight loss that doomed me to fail. Every year.
Like here are some things I tried in my efforts to lose weight that did not work:
1. Running almost every single day for a decade
2. Running a marathon
3. Working out at the gym on stair master and elliptical intensely
4. keeping a food diary and calorie count
5. eating with tiny utensils lol
6. giving up bread and carbs for a year
7. eating very “healthy”
8. eating one salad a day (with oil in the dressings of course)
9. writing out a page of threats to myself in my diary like “I’ll waste away my youth being fat”
10. eating tiny portions of everything or eating half of everything I wanted to eat
ok one more for good measure
Not eating a lot of fruit or potatoes or rice cause “sugar is bad for you”, “fruit makes you fat” and “carbs make you fat”.
WOW. I was so wrong. so dumb.
But eventually I screwed my head on straight and by doing exactly the opposite of this common sense advice, I finally lost weight!!
It still blows my mind a little, so sorry I’ve probably said it a million times.
Anyway, the point is I’ve succeeded in weight loss and it’s amazing.
It still feels like a gift to myself when I look in the mirror and I’m like DAMN GIRL. Looking so fly.
And the best part of all is I am eating more now than I ever have and I am finally not dieting.
It’s too good to be true…except when you tell people that you strive to eat only fruits and vegetables. Lol. Then comes the no way, I could never do that. But it’s their loss, because it’s awesome.
For example, would I have ever thought to make the resolution Become More Beautiful or Become Younger Looking? No, because I thought that was impossible. But amazingly I feel I have because of what I eat.
I have gained a positive outlook on life too because where I used to feel I was doomed to decline as I age, I now think I will only continue to improve with every year.
This is my best year yet and it took me all this time to figure out the right path and a little more time to learn how to do it and now I got great results and I just need to tinker with it and perfect it.
I feel like my health and my looks are things that I can improve as a hobby. Without any pain or hunger, which is what I thought I was going to have to endure if I ever wanted to make it happen once and for all.
It’s a christmas miracle.
I’m just so happy that chapter of my life where I hated the way I looked and I was plagued with thoughts about how I was gonna starve myself and exercise like a marathoner all just to lose weight is complete.
Now I can just relax and exercise for fun.
Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts, Seeds, Potatoes, Rice, Oats, Beans…. high carb low fat vegan whole foods…that’s what you gotta eat to lose weight. And no oil. Try The Starch Solution or Raw till 4 or go fully low fat Raw vegan or 80/10/10.
Anyway here are some of my new year’s resolutions:
To go fully raw for the month of January
To keep tinkering with my weight to see if I can lose the rest of my weight and feel even better than I do now.
To do another banana island just for fun.
To get really flexible and get my splits totally flat and do a backbend where my head touches my foot.
To do a cartwheel and a handstand.
Do you guys have any resolutions?
