GW: 129 by tomorrow
I just may be able to reach 129 by tomorrow.
I go to my bf's work to keep him company sometimes. There's this girl that he works with. He says that she buys fast food every day for lunch... which is believable because her size shows it. She knows I run so she's been telling me how she can run on the treadmill for 20 minutes now. I've seen her at the gym a few times recently and the truth is her ENTIRE workout is 20 minutes. She ran maybe 5 minutes total, walked in between, stretched, and went home all under 20 minutes. Don't get me wrong 20 minutes would be a FANTASTIC run, especially for a beginner... but it amazes me how people can lie to themselves!!
This makes me seem like a total bitch but I rant and blog about it here because I wouldn't dream of hurting anyone's feelings. If she ever asks me about weight loss or fitness tips I would be more than happy to chat with her... but I'm not just going to go up to her and tell her to stop eating McDonalds every day. Are people that oblivious?
Another thing is that people don't seem to understand is that weight loss is 30% exercise and 70% diet! You can never out exercise a bad diet. That's why bulimics aren't usually skinny but "normal" or even overweight. I exercise a lot but it's because I truly enjoy it and I'm not employed so I've got nothing but time. Maybe that's why I'm such a calorie nazi. I like individual cartons like yogurt because they are more accurate than me measuring or trusting someone else to cook it.
Difficult run today, but I did it! I really had to push to my limit. Felt like I was going to throw up towards the end. I feel great now though!
Thinspo today is Nicole Riche. I'm not a fan of hers at all but she looks fantastic these days!

Total: 605 cals --> Amazing plan if I can stick to it!
Exercise: Run 6.5 miles (-625)
I know, right!? I am the same way. I would not want to intentionally hurt someones feelings. It's not in my nature.
ReplyDeleteBut to come up to ME and ask me, "why can't I lose weight?" and then tell me you had Mcdonalds for breakfast, Taco Bell for lunch and you are thinking of grabbing Burger King for dinner???! REALLY!? you have answered your own question. Leave me out of it.
People with eating disorders are not able to properly express a "good diet" for a normal people. There is so much more mentally in it for us than physically.
You are doing such a wonderful job, Bethie! Stay strong, love.
