SO. just read an article about cutting back on carbs gradually instead of all at once. i tried cutting cold turkey before and the]at failed MISERABLY so the gradual plan it is. 

FIRST is cutting out all sugary drinks. no more sweeter than sin coffee in the morning, no more sweet tea, juices that kind of thing. honestly, i think this is going to be easy for me. coffee is still good without sugar, who knew. and i’ve always loved unsweetened tea, and i can definitely go without the juice. in addition to this, i don’t want to eat too many ‘sugar-free’ drinks. maybe for a treat once in a while, but artificial sweetener is LITERALLY the devil & i don’t want to put that in my body ok. ALSO im drinking a freaking TON of water and water with lemon. lemon promotes digestion and that kind of shit. hot water with lemon in the morning especially is like bomb for you?? also tastes good so theres that. adrienne bailon does it so if its good enough for a cheetah girl it must be like liquid gold or some shit. 

SECOND no white grains. no white flour, white sugar, potatoes, white bread, white rice, you get the deal. i honestly hate white bread it  doesn’t taste like anything and has no texture?? white bread is for children and pussies and like thats exactly how i feel. also i LOVE brown rice its so good and white rice can go suck it honestly. it does nothing for you except make you constipated for literal days and thats like the worst thing ever. now potatoes are going to be really hard to cut out. i freaking love potatoes so goddamn much it hurts me. sweet potatoes have less carbs but like still a lot so maybe have sweet potato as a treat sometimes? i will consult with experts on this. also white flour can also suck it. whole wheat flour is so much better also there is so much random ass flours out there that have way less carbs and are better for you. like almond flour. coconut flour, tapioca flour like wtf?? white flour is so 1960s like you’re over were moving on. the hardest thing tho will be bagels. bagels are literally bomb but like my health means more to me??? so yeah. also if i like need to have a goddamn bagel there are healthier bagels out there like ezekiel bagels are a thing and like almond flour bagels are also a thing im pretty sure and also i can make my own fathead bread shit if i need to. another shitty thing is pasta. like i lived in italy for 4.5 months pasta is life?? but there are healthier pastas if i’m like gonna die without pasta. my mom buys pasta made out of like chickpeas and shit so i think i’ll be fine. AND i found a recipe for fathead gnocchi that i like need to try asap i love those little fucking pillows of heaven. 

THIRD eat more fucking veggies. first of all, i love veggies so i feel like this wont be an issue. broccoli wassup? cauliflower hey bae. kale you’re hot. mushrooms fuck me up. unfortunately i also like high carb veggies like corn and sweet potatoes and carrots and i can’t eat too much of those anymore because carbs but honestly the other veggies are bomb so like thats fine. also corn like isn’t even a veggie anymore like what a poser. you’re a fucking grain ok like identity crisis much? also i don’t think we fully digest corn which is like so foul i can’t even beginnnn. 

so anyways those are the three i’m starting with. in all seriousness, it’s really important to find a diet i can stick with. bottom like is sugar is like the worst thing you can put in your body. it’s literal trash and the government shoved it down our throats that fat is bad and carbs are good which is so fucking unfair because thats so false. my sister lost over 80 pounds while in ketosis which is like so fucking awesome. i’m honestly not doing this to loose weight tho. i want to feel better and make my body into a fucking TEMPLE and feel strong and healthy, because i’ve honestly never felt like that and i want to so badly.

Stranger: What's your New Years Resolution?

Me: To finally love myself as much as I want someone else to love me

Stranger: Sounds like a challenge

Me: It is. It's been a lifelong resolution but I think this year I'll finally get there

First admit that you are unhappy. Then admit why. Then understand you need to let go. Allow yourself a moment. Breathe in the moment deeply. Then the healing will begin.

today i am inspired. i am inspired to be a better me, for me. i have come to the painful realization that i am not happy with the person that i am. i have not been ready to change that for a long time, probably because i was not ready to accept that it was true. i’m tired of feeling worthless, ugly, fat, lonely, completely unhappy, im tired of it all. in this new year, will hold myself accountable. i will make strides to better myself, to make myself happy to be me. to feel comfortable with myself, in my skin, in my head, in my thoughts, in my emotions. this will not happen immediately. i know this. true change does not happen over night, it will take hours, and days, and months. but i will relentlessly work toward my goal. i am putting these words into the world and making them true. i am making myself responsible for my own peace. i will only put into my body what my body needs to function properly and to thrive. i will treat my body like the precious vessel that it is. i will treat my mind and heart like the precious life that they give. i will continue to go to therapy, and to listen and absorb and to do what he asks of me, instead of forgetting it all as soon as i leave his office. i will only foster healthy relationships. i will not pretend. i will look towards the moon and the earth for grounding and inspiration. i will take advantage of yoga and meditation. i will push my body to its limits, in a mindful and self-loving way, to get stronger and feel good. i will not quit when the going gets tough. i will practice self love, and be a good friend to myself. i will not go through this alone. i will turn to my sister, who shares this desire with me, and we will fight this fight together, as partners. 

i have been single for over two years, and have been feeling extremely lonely, unattractive, undesirable. however, how can someone love me when i do not love myself? my aura reflects that. i know this now. i will better myself for myself, and open myself up to many new and exciting experiences because of this. i am me for a reason. i will find that reason this year. i am willing to change myself now. i am willing. i will be better for ME. i love ME.  i am ME.  and i will make myself proud of that fact. I WILL.
