the good stuff: information, distractions, quotes, thinspo etc.

ive noticed that when i fast, i only get hungry and have food cravings the first two hours or so and once i get over that hump its muche easier. also, i tend to get hungrier when im in the living room so i think ill avoid that area.

so today, i just did my schoolwork which took up a good 3 hours and have been drinking coffee. [no creamer, no sugar, just splenda] and ive been reading loads of articles on fasting.

wanna know a great distraction btw? learning a language. seriously. im learning french, and i get so caught up in it that food is the LAST thing on my mind. plus you can take courses for free online and trust me, there is always a never ending supply of vocabulary words you can copy down that will take up hours of your time.

anyways.

heres an interesting article(s) i found on fasting.

did you know you can only purge up to 80% of calories consumed?


im trying to be more aware the the processes that go on in my body so that i can create new weight loss plans that get rid of the weight faster. did i mention i weigh 128? its horrible i know. its totally put me in the mood for fasting though.
i think i had too much coffee.
hmm oh well who gives a shit ahaha

omfg. okay so you know that feeling you get around day two of fasting where the hunger cravings go completely away, and all you feel is the lightness and accomplishment and your able to pick out places that had fat before but dont have any now? thats my favorite feeling in the world.

ive noticed that i loose tons of fat around my thighs, stomach, and hips when i fast. like when i fasted for four days the first time, and my metabolism was sky high, my thigh didnt touch by the end of it. and my hip bones were much more visible. and my waist was smaller.
shit what have i been doing with my life?
i should fast all the time!
its so easy.
whats the answer to all my problems? fast.
what do you do when your drowning in your own fat? fast.
what seems harder than it is? fasting.

ive realized that its that easy.

did i mention ive been taking acai berry supplements? so far, i do not recommend them. its been a week and i havent lost any weight. plus they should work better and faster on an empty stomach right? uhh wrong.


okay okay okay.

look here.

if you fast for two days, you can loose up to 10 lbs. the minimum number of lost weight would probably be around 4-6 lbs.

so lets jsut say i weighed 120 again as an example.

if i weigh 120, then fast for two days, id weigh about 116 AT MINIMUM. and IF i dont work out AT ALL.

then if you work out right before you end the fast for 3 hours, you burn 3500 calories. so thats another pound.

so if i weigh 115 at this point, and started the grapefruit diet i went on, then id loose 5 lbs in 3 days. [grapefruit diet = l grapefruit a day. eat 2 pieces at 30 - 45 minute intervals to avoid binging and to sky rocket metabolism].

and because my metabolism goes so fast when i grapefruit diet, then the added exercise each day for two days [for an hour] i would loose about 1-2 lbs a day.

of course my weight would probably plateau at about 115 so that would have to be taken into consideration. then again, the plateau problem could be solved by increasing the amount of grapefruit eaten for two days and then dropping it back down.


so all in all id go from 120 lbs to 108 in a week.

healthy? not at all.
effective? quite.

im awful at math though but i checked my numbers like 6 times.

so, if you want a copy of this diet plan explained more simply and in steps, then let me know and ill email it to you.

i myself am lazy as all hell so i think what ill be doing is fasting for two or three days [to avoid binging early in the game] and then will grapefruit diet for a week and make sure i exercise a lot. REMEMBER KIDDIES, THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK IN WEIGHT LOST BY FASTING IS TO EXERCISE BEFORE YOU GO BACK TO RESTRICTING.

thinspo!
























ahem. on another note, im sick of all the fat chicks crying about 'oh well only REAL women are big' and 'men dont even like thin girls. they like chunky ones'. i always always always hear this from a fat chick. OR i hear it from mean that are a)ugly, b)feel bad, or c) are mega ghetto trashy.
so, here are quotes from ACTUAL boys [men if you prefer the word.] ages 16-21. either online or in person quotes when asked why men prefer slim women over overweight ones or asked whether they prefer heavier women or thinner women.

"why would i be with a fat girl when i could be with a skinny one? i mean, if you really give it some thought, it just seems like the skinny ones have more status. anyone could get a fat girl. but you gotta be a hell of a man to keep a skinny girl with great looks and personality."

"its all about the way of thinking of mens....they thoughts that slim girls are more intelligent, active etc."

"men think that skinny girls are sexier ! of course, there are a lot more important things in a good relationship but you cannot deny these facts whether you like them or not"

"beacause the men like girls thin"

"i geuss it depends on the guy, but most guys prefer slim girls. its usually the overweight guys with no self esteem that go for fatties :P"

"There will always be shallow boys. Boys looking for tiny waist and big boobs. And if the girl doesnt have the boobs at least she can have the tiny waist."

this one was said after i explained that i felt like fat girls put thin ones down often.
"the phrase " bigger women are real women or " real women have curves" is total BS. but it does piss me off when they try to make them selves feel better by putting thin ones down. but i just laugh in their face cuz deep down inside a lot of them are bitter, angry , jealous and unhappy. it's all a cover up to make themselves feel better. how about the phrase REAL men like thin women. you know what? im guna put that on a t-shirt."

"i'm really into a girl that is tall, very thin, and she's got a great personality"

"if you think guys are only looking for bigger women (i.e. fat women) you'd be wrong. I know it's politically correct to say that men like big women....but actually they don't. they like em small. any bigger and the amount of men interested drops off dramatically"

"i like girls that are skinny. they just seem so much more feminine and small and cute. idk. it just seems like the natural choice would be to go to the skinny one vs the bigger one."


"since when do we like big girls? last time i checked, it was funner to be able to breathe when she's on top of you."



so thats it girls. theres your proof.


*Note: i apologize for any remarks that are offensive to some but these arent my words and so i cant control them. this was simply used to show opinions of others. basically, if youre fat and this makes you feel bad, then idk what to tell you. its never too late to start loosing weight. remember that.
