Welcome, 2012…
Posted on: December 31, 2011
For 2012, I am leaving behind a life I’ve had for too long.
I’ve been struggling with this since I was in 11th grade.
And this year, this time… I am saying goodbye.
It’s going to be hard and there will be setbacks,
BUT I WILL BEAT THIS.
With a little help from this…
And baking a lot of things from this lady…
And these ladies…
I will conquer this.
I wish you all a healthy and happy New Year!

That cookie looks delish 
. And chobani is really amazing too, great way to get calcium and protein in which we all really need as women. Wishing you an amazing 2012!

You are EXACTLY right, everyone has setbacks. If something was easy, it wouldn’t really be a “change”. I just have to accept, learn, and keep going! Happy New Year, lady!!!

You totally DESERVE sweets like cookies and chobani (i eat 2-3 a day)..when i was inpatient a LONG time ago, i had yogurt like 4 or 5 times a day…and they always forced me to eat desserts at every single meal. I gained , yes…but i was normal…i left the hospital and looked tons tons better…after months-year , the bloat and disproportion faded and i was fantastic…
then i relapsed
so trust me: get some ice cream and get your bake on!! If you cannot eat it now when you need to gain…then how will you ever eat it when you simply maintain? Do it now and your body will trust you.

“Get your bake on” hahah! I just need to learn to eat with MODERATION. I watch my dad just have a piece of this and a piece of that… Some may call it “mindless” eating, but that’s how LIFE should be. I need to get back to that, because depriving myself is NOT a life worth living. Please keep reading and keep in touch!
And I LOVE Greek Yogurt, there’s something about it which is comforting and when I eat it in between meals, it doesn’t feel like I’m really eating “alot” but it’s SO nice to know I’m putting in calories and GOOD ones.

January 1, 2012 at 9:00 PM
