yk I feel REALLY guilty for worrying my friends the way I do and I feel like this is such an awful thing to say but I look at pictures of myself now vs a year ago and I'm genuinely so much happier now. it's exhausting to hate ur body. hate isn't even a strong enough word for it, every time I looked in the mirror I got this swelling in my chest like I wanted to scream and cry and rip the flesh off my bones. whenever I was aware of my body (in a tight shirt, having the wind blow back a loose shirt, literally any situation where someone could see my body) I'd get that same feeling.
I went to a Melanie concert yesterday (best experience of my life btw) and I was able to wear what I wanted to wear. not some oversized modification cuz I couldn't pull off the real thing. I felt so confident and beautiful and saying that that feeling is worth the pain makes me feel even guiltier but, it is. I don't even need to feel confident just the absence of the hatred is worth the pain.
anyway sorry for the vent, here's the fit:
ALSO I got the tank top that I wanted. I wouldn't have gotten it a year ago cuz I wouldn't have been able to pull it off
not hating myself is seriously a freedom I am never willing to give up

how to lose weight with Carb Cycling
CLICK HERE TO LEAERN MORE
Losing weight with carb cycling involves strategically adjusting your carbohydrate intake while maintaining a calorie deficit. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
1. Set Your Goals: Define your weight loss goals and establish a realistic timeframe for achieving them. Consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to ensure your goals are safe and attainable.
2. Calculate Your Calories: Determine your daily caloric needs for weight loss. You'll need to create a calorie deficit by consuming fewer calories than your body burns. Online calculators or professional guidance can help with this.
3. Plan Your Cycling Schedule: Decide on your carb cycling schedule. Common approaches include alternating between high, moderate, and low-carb days throughout the week. For example, you could have three high-carb days, two moderate-carb days, and two low-carb days.
4. Choose Carb Sources: Select healthy carbohydrate sources for each day. On high-carb days, focus on complex carbs like whole grains, fruits, and starchy vegetables. On low-carb days, prioritize non-starchy vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
5. Monitor Portion Sizes: Be mindful of portion sizes to control calorie intake. Overeating, even on healthier foods, can hinder weight loss progress.
6. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Hydration is important for overall health and can also support weight loss efforts.
7. Include Lean Proteins: Incorporate lean protein sources (such as poultry, fish, lean meats, tofu, and legumes) into your meals. Protein helps with muscle preservation and satiety.
8. Include Healthy Fats: On low-carb days, include sources of healthy fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil to help keep you satisfied.
9. Be Consistent: Consistency is key to success. Stick to your carb cycling plan over time to see results.
10. Monitor Progress: Regularly track your weight, measurements, and how you feel to assess your progress. Adjust your plan if needed based on your results and any feedback from your body.
11. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body responds to different carb levels. Some individuals may feel better with more carbs on high-intensity workout days.
12. Combine with Exercise: Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine. A combination of cardiovascular exercise and strength training can complement your carb cycling plan.
13. Seek Professional Guidance: Consider working with a registered dietitian or nutritionist who can help personalize your carb cycling approach based on your individual needs and preferences.
Remember, carb cycling is just one strategy for weight loss. It's important to find an approach that works for you and fits your lifestyle. Always prioritize balanced nutrition, overall health, and sustainability in your weight loss journey.
