Day Thirty: And now, what are your stats?
Height: 5’10
Current weight: 140.0
Ultimate Goal Weight: 120
Day Twenty-Nine: Your definition of beauty.
This is such a difficult question because beauty is such a different thing to each and every person.
For me, physical, human beauty comes from confidence and happiness. People who are confident in themselves and people who smile and enjoy life naturally attract attention.
I truly believe that anyone and everyone has the capacity to be beautiful but we have to stop telling ourselves that we aren’t beautiful in order to get there.
+Day Twenty-Eight: Do you want that “gap” between your legs? Why?
Well, I’ve lost almost 50 pounds and I’m not even close to getting a thigh gap.
I think a slight gap on some people looks really nice, but on other people it makes them look like that have 10 year old girl legs. I don’t exactly want that so I’m okay with my thicker thighs.
+Day Twenty-Seven: How do you deal with being around food?
I’ve gotten pretty good at controlling my food urges.I just have to remember my goals and that’s enough for me to control myself.
Honestly, crazy unhealthy food turns me off more than it makes me want to eat it.
+Day Twenty-Six: What excites you most about reaching your ugw?
Honestly, the clothes!
I have always been really into fashion and clothing but when I would go shopping, everything I would have loved to wear either didn’t come in my size or it wasn’t flattering on me at all.
I’m so excited to be able to see something I love, find it in my size and then have it fit my body just right. :)
+Day Twenty-Five: Have you ever purged? If you have describe your first experience.
I haven’t, but I used to think about trying it all the time in the past.
+Day Twenty-Four:How do you feel about the terms pro-ana/pro-mia?
I think that it’s one thing to be supportive and accept people that having eating disorders, but to encourage them and glamorize them is something entirely different.
I don’t know why anyone would want to have or think that an eating disorder is a positive thing. It’s a disease that people have to suffer through. No one should be “pro” ana or mia. However, no one should be disrespected or treated differently if they do suffer from these diseases.
+Day Twenty-Three: Did the media play a role in your wanting to lose weight?
Absolutely.
It’s difficult to look at the beautiful women in magazines, on the internet, on TV, on billboards, in movies, etc., and not compare them to yourself. The media is everywhere.
Yes, I understand that they’re air brushed or they have professional makeup and hair teams to make them look flawless, but I still can’t help but compare myself to them.
+Day Twenty-Two: What was your lowest weight? How and why did you gain?
My lowest weight was 142.0 a few days ago. I went on a mini vacation and I didn’t eat the best food in the world. I’m back up to 143.6 now.
+Day Twenty-One: What are your clothing sizes?
I wear a size 8 dress, medium in most shirts and size 8 pants. :)
