I'd rather be sleeping.
Do you ever get it where you need to cry so much you can’t breathe and your stomach hurts and your eyes literally ache but you can’t cry because you’re so used to hiding your feelings you’re automatically stopping yourself?

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.

10 ways i got to 99 lbs ⭐️

1. download dieting apps/apps to keep track of your calorie intake.

mynetdiary literally changed my life. it’s so handy and easy to use, i’m so glad i downloaded it. would definitely recommend mynetdiary!

2. eat a breakfast high in fiber (& never skip breakfast!)

this can suppress your appetite and make it easier to restrict throughout the day. it also helps to lower your cholesterol and stabilize your blood sugar.

3. allow yourself one “cheat day” a week.

basically this just means eating a normal amount of calories—this does NOT mean you get to binge. usually on saturdays i’ll let myself have a cookie or something like that.

4. never reward yourself with food.

i used to get into the mindset of “i did this good thing, i deserve some chocolate!” that will teach your brain to want food every time you do something good. instead, buy yourself something nice, or take a long bath, or paint your nails! reward yourself with other things.

5. try not to go out with friends and do things that involve food.

for example, going to get ice cream. see if you can hang out at the mall or an arcade instead! you’ll be burning calories walking around instead of gaining them by eating ice cream.

6. take every opportunity to restrict.

i usually have to eat with my parents, but while i’m at school i don’t have to! so i never eat anything at lunch time. if you are presented with food you can deny, always deny it.

7. exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.

at LEAST. walk everywhere you can instead of biking or driving. get up and take your dog on a walk, or do the dishes!

8. focus on school, extracurricular activities, or hobbies.

use the time you would be eating by distracting yourself! study a little harder for that test, take up drawing. distract yourself from food, and soon enough you’ll even forget to eat.

9. drink a lot of water!

this will help to speed up your metabolism. being dehydrated can slow your metabolism down by as much as 3%, and drinking increases it by about 30%

10. don’t fast for more than 72 hours.

not only is it extremely dangerous, but it will also make you more likely to binge. you don’t need to fast for that long, be safe!!
