Today🍊
🍯 i (every single day, without fail) drink 6 cups of water a day. you always see “drink water!!” and “lots of water!” everywhere, but it’s the truth y'all! water helps immensely.
🍯 i never eat more than 800 calories. i typically tend to eat far less, but (unless i slip up and binge) i never eat more that 800 calories.
🍯 i work out at the very least 3 times a week! you don’t have to, but i go to the gym. it’s very easy to work out from the comfort of your own home, i actually used to do it.
🥀 note: i have a job where i’m on my feet most of the day, so, if you don’t have a job you can increase the workout as you see fit!
🍯 i tea/water fast at least once a month, but usually twice. every two weeks if i’m doing poorly with weight loss and once a month if i’m consistent like i am now! if it’s really bad and i’m binging repeatedly i fast once a week.
🍯 i don’t deprive myself. if there’s something you’re craving, or even something that’ll satisfy your sweet tooth, eat it! if it isn’t going to induce a binge, have a couple bites.
🥀 i buy these 100 cal ice creams from my work and they’ve changed my life.
🍯 i never skip any meals unless i’m getting close to my calorie cap. skipping meals can damage your metabolism and make it even harder to lose weight, especially if you skip breakfast! never skip breakfast.
🍯 salads are not as healthy as you think! unless you’re someone who can eat a salad with a lil lemon juice, salads are dangerous territory. the dressings are always, always packed on and loaded with hidden calories. a nice (no red) meat/seafood and some veggies is a much better option when eating out.
🥀 note: if you’re vegetarian or vegan, some restaurants will have options for you. if not, check the sides! you can order a few vegetables and make your own mix.
🍯 i never eat anything i don’t know the exact calories of. even when i (rarely) eat pasta, i count every single noodle in the box and divide them into serving size. if i’m eating a fruit or veggie, i cut it up and measure it into a cup. (or ½ or ¼, you get the idea)
🍯 i keep myself busy. you tend to eat, binge, ect when you get bored, so don’t let yourself be bored! download an app, go for a walk, play a video game, read a book, go shopping! anything to keep yourself busy so you aren’t overeating.
🥀 note: i don’t encourage restricting, when i say ‘overeating’ i mean eating above the recommended calorie intake for your height and weight.
🍯 i n e v e r use sugar. there’s no reason to use sugar when you can substitute with a low/zero cal sweetener.
🍯 i, usually, meal prep. meal prep is a great way to plan out your meals so you can keep track of calories and such.
🥀 if you guys want a small post on meal prep and where you can get good supplies/budgeting/grocery lists let me know! ill do some regular recipes and then some vegitarian and vegan!
🍯 i weigh myself in the morning, as soon as i wake up and sometimes (this is nasty, i know) after i poop. that’s your TRUE weight, when your body is completely empty and just itself. but i weight myself every morning without fail.
🥀 i weigh myself every day because it keeps me motivated when i see the pounds, half pounds ect drop off.
🍯 i use the app my fitness pal! it’s a super easy way to keep track of calories and exercise, and it even counts your steps!
🍯 i watch a looooot of youtubers who binge. this may sound nasty, or weird, but i like to watch other people binge because it makes me want to binge less. it sort of satisfies my need to binge in a way.
🥀 if you do find yourself binging, record yourself. it makes you want to do it so much less.
🍯 i sleep 6-10 hours every night. sleep is super important, okay, trust me. just sleep. take a melatonin n snooze.
💐 with all of these together, i’ve even losing anywhere between 2.5 and 5 pounds a week. remember that recovery is always possible and stay safe 💐
