Sooo...Like any other normal bride, I want to lose lot's of weight for the wedding. I want to look really good in my dress...the only problem is...I'm a fat kid through and through. I LOVE sweets and I love carbs. And I like to walk, but right now it is just too cold to walk outside. So I just sit inside, eat, and get fatter! It is SOO stressful!! I want to lose some weight, but not so much that it will cost me an arm and a leg to get my dress altered. That's what sucks with having the dress already!! It's like I'm stuck at this weight!!! Actually, I hope that I can still fit into my dress!! But here is the problem...I don't have a home right now. Okay, so I do, but I am only there like two days out of the week if that. The rest of the time I live in town with Daniel and his parents. So I don't get the chance to eat healthy when I stay at his house.
Also, I read in a magazine that carbs curb depression. It's true!! Carbohydrates increase the amount of a certain chemical in the brain that makes you happier! The only problem I have with this is I get depressed, eat carbs, get fatter, get even MORE depressed! I am very down lately. I think I am still adjusting to the move back home. It is sooo tough going to see Daniel every day seeing him every once and a while. Plus, I got so used to sleeping with someone, that it's hard to sleep by myself.
Another tidbit that I read is that mashed tators help ward off stress!! When your body is stressed (which planning and PAYING for a wedding is super stressful), your body sends signals that it needs a constant supply of energy. Feeding your body high-fat and high-sugar foods tells your brain that you can relax, that you have enough energy to keep going.
I envy my sister so! She is one pound away from losing 30 pounds! *enter applause here* GO HER!!! I wish I was that strict and had time to eat healthy and work out!
So there you go, just an FK wishing she was skinnier!

I know that certain foods make you feel better...why do you think they're called comfort foods silly?
ReplyDeleteNow google "exercise" or "healthy diet" and see what benefits that has with your brain. ;o)
I know you're stressed right now, and are still trying to adjust- but look at it this way. In 7 months, you'll be getting a place of your own with your HUSBAND!! It's just for a short bit Ash, I know it's tough, but take it one day at a time ok? Maybe rather than focusing on being sad and stressed, you can put that energy toward exercise and eating less junk food? You'll feel so much better! And I can work out with you! I'm lonely working out all by my lonesome every day!
((Hugs)), you'll be living with Mr. Pants before you know it. And you'll be Mrs. Pants!!
