going through such a crazy obsession of work lmaooo. Here is a little quote !

" It really does take one day to change the trajectory of your life. Just one day. Is your dream life not worth one day ?"

[thatgirlchallenge]

Almost done!! I’ll finish it early morning tomorrow🫶🏻

[thatgirlchallenge]

Took a break to eat. Time to lock in again. Not going to sleep until it's DONE !!!

I am going through it to write this report. Already wrote 7 Pages. Still five left. I got it fr. I've been procrastinating this report for a while, when I could have done it such a long time ago !!! And I am enjoying writing it, and I just feel proud of myself.

That's how it goes when you decide to do what you need to do. You feel proud and your respect for yourself goes up.

Don't let your dream life be the cost of your procrastination.

I am giving myself until tonight 10pm to finish this report.

I am supposed to submit it in like 3 weeks but working under the pressure of a deadline does wonders for me.

So tonight ( around 10/11pm) if I don’t update, I have failed to finish it, and I wouldn’t want that, wouldn’t I?🙄🙄

Hi

How can someone develop healthier eating habits? I used to binge and now I do not anymore but I can't seem to control my cravings and also the portion size (I am not in charge of cooking and I do not choose how much or what food I eat most of the time)...

I saw one of your last posts and I was curios about your way.

You don't need to answer. Thank you for what you do on this blog <3

Hey! I hope you’re doing well and thank you for your question!🫶🏻

I want to start by saying that I am in no way an expert in nutrition, etc, but I’ve researched a bit about the topic of food in general to work on my diet, so I’ll try to help in the best way that I can.

( note: these advices worked for me, they might not work for you and that’s okay!! You’ll find your own way🫶🏻)

To be fair, cravings are normal! It’s normal to crave your favorite food. Don’t blame yourself for something so normal.

I used to crave all the time so many foods that were not «  healthy », and surprise, I still do from time to time! The thing that changed my life, is that I am able to control what type of cravings I will have.

Let me explain. When I used my body to a certain type of food, it started craving for that kind of type of food. I have been eating quite healthy for a few months, and my cravings are completely different. My body starts asking for more healthy things and I enjoy healthy food so much more now that I’ve changed my diet!

Of course, I still crave sweet things ( tiramisu😂) or a good burger or pizza or whatever! And that’s why I allow myself a day of the week where I just eat what I want without feeling guilty about it.

And the crazy thing is that since the rest of the week, I am actually enjoying healthy food with decent portions, well I do not binge eat on my «  cheat day ».

That’s how I control my cravings!

For the portion size, it’s a bit complicated since you’re not in charge of the cooking, but perhaps you could introduce the concept of food portions in your home?

I have realized in these last months how uneducated I was on the topic, and it changed my life to simply control them.

Some people count their calories, but I believe that’s something you should be very cautious about. This can easily lead to an eating disorder. I’d say to eventually discuss it with perhaps a doctor or a dietician?

For my part, I do not want to «  live » by the calories every single day. So I’ve counted once the portions of certain foods such as pasta for example, or avocado.( like I researched how much calories they were worth, and I adapted it to my diet WITHOUT restricting myself). I did that for the high calorie type of food.

I still eat avocado almost every single day, even if it’s high in calories, because I enjoy it! I’ve simply cut it to a daily amount that doesn’t ruin my weight loss journey. That’s another way to cut cravings. You keep eating what you want, you just portion it correctly by researching what are the daily needs of an individual of your age, etc.

Omg, I’ve written a lot, I hope that this helped in some way! If you have more questions, please let me know, I’d love to help!

Put my phone in my lockbox for 24 hours. A pity that it cannot last more than 24 hours. Time to lock in and do all the work I can possibly do in the meantime.

I lowkey wanna do a little experiment. Like repeat a full day of no phone for like a week.

I have been watching videos and reading stuff to know how to style my body type. It’s something I’ve never looked into, despite the fact that I have realized many times that some clothes aren’t gonna look good because of my body type.

I have like a long torso, and shorter legs, so there are a lot of tips to make my proportions more balanced!

I cannot wait to test them out when I am going to do some shopping to redo my wardrobe !

[thatgirlchallenge]

Three kgs left before I reach my weight goal! I literally cannot wait, I finally deserve to be in a body that I am confident in!

I already feel the effects of being in a body you appreciate !

Me: I am gonna use my method to make my life about me and forget about romance for a while

The very next day a guy tells me that he likes me😭.

Anyways, let’s keep focusing on me only!!

[thatgirlchallenge]

Just finished the four book series I have been reading since yesterday! ( I’ve read it quite fast tbh)

Anyways, I’ve decided that I’ll stop reading fiction for a while, and focus mainly on self development books for like a week or two!

I’ll give some updates and maybe even some recommendation !

[thatgirlchallenge]

Lmao the technic I have talked about to stop thinking about guys, is working so well. Every time I catch myself thinking about a guy, I just replace it with positive thoughts about me, and I literally got over that guy I was thinking about for a while.

Maybe I should apply this " method" to daydreaming. You can literally control your thoughts !

Could you give any tips on how to improve your appearance? For example, a skincare routine?

Btw, I like your posts, they give me some motivation and inspiration!

Hey! Thank you for your message 🫶🏻 I am glad my posts are helping you !

There are many things I try to implement to my daily routine to feel more confident about my appearance!

First of all, a healthy diet! I incorporate a lot of vegetables ( especially red cabbage for hair), and I make sure to drink enough water through the day.

For the skincare, I highly recommend the tir tir brand, their products are really amazing! I bought the mini sized products ( travel version) to give it a first try, and I’ll be purchasing the normal sized products. My skin has really improved so much!

For my hair, I only use the almond Cadum shampoo, and my hair, after a few weeks, became soft and shiny, and no more frizz !

If you have any other questions, let me know! I’ll try to help🫶🏻

I want to become more financially independant. I technically already am, but I feel like I could earn more money by putting some of my skills on the market. Like I can speak multiple languages, higher education in stem and I am quite good at creative writing.

All of this money would be a good way to finance my future travels, my future investments and overall, to never have to worry about not being able to support myself, while being a full time student.

I have been looking at some platforms for tutoring, such as Preply, Italki and many others. I need to work on this seriously !

[thatgirlchallenge]

From now on, whenever I catch myself thinking about a man, I’ll replace these thoughts with positive thoughts about me !

I’ll get over this phase over centering my life around men. They’re not worth it.

[thatgirlchallenge]

Keep things to yourself. Oversharing is gonna make you meet your downfall real quick!

( a post really directed toward myself, because I used to be this super secretive person… but this year, I’ve been too talkative.)

Protect your peace, your energy and your dreams.

I’ll work on this and update about it.

[thatgirlchallenge]

I might have found THE skincare routine…. I am glad that I am slowly improving my physical apparence. I feel better and more confident each day!
