ROADbump

WHAT!? already, yes sugar already. speaking of sugar i apparently have a sugar addiction. it explains by declining energy levels, my weight gain, my general attitude and mood. what am i to do? well, im going cold turkey, i know i know. some people need to slowly adjust to changes espeically ones that eliminate tons of food from their diets. i will no longer be consuming any processed foods with added sugars including but limited to candy, ice cream, cereal, breads (with sugar and unnecessary additives) and just sweets as a whole. i just want to feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel good.

Beginning my weight loss journey... greeting fellow earthling :) today wednesday august 9th i have decided to commence my journey to a healthy fit body. after battling with multiple eating disorders, low self esteem and depression i feel like there’s no better time to start toward a healthy lifestyle then now. just kidding i would rather wait for tomorrow and eat the remaining pint of ben and jerrys fudge brownie in the refridgerator. but i need to do this for myself, to prove that i can. i went vegan in eighth grade for the animals and for the planet. i learned about the health benefits after about a year of the eliminating meat and dairy from my diet. i simply couldn’t participate  in the abuse of other living creatures. but i wasnt a very healthy vegan. i would indulge in one too many sweets and unhealthy carbs due to stress and anxiety. i developed a habit of overeating and gradually began gaining weight. 120 increased to 130, 130 became 135, 140, and finally 155. currently, im at an unhealthy weight and have never felt worse. just like years ago i went vegan for the animals, today i want to adjust my eating habits to benefit ME. i am a huge advocate of self love but ive been a hypocrite by not following through with what i believe is the most important principle to loving yourself. fueling your body with whole plant foods. every saturday beginning with the upcoming one i will post an update on my diet, fitness,mental health and any other relevant information. ive crossed the start line. and i dont want to turn back. beginning stats weight:157 lbs height: 5′8 disclaimer: im using my height and weight as an indicator to measure my progress (simply because i dont have access to an instrument that can measure bmi). i understand that weight can be gained as fat is lost because of the increase in muscle mass*
