okay so yesterday, i ate nothing, and drank water and orange juice all day.
i know ive pretty much failed as far as not drinking orange juice, but for a second i thought i was guna break so i figured hey, better orange juice than food right?
well i got on the scale this morning, and i weigh 122.
what
the
fuuuuck?
okay so my body is against me in this one.
i know it is.
i havent eaten anything particularly salty for me to have water weight, and if you ask me, i think my hips are narrower. if i had gained actual fat, then i would be the first to know.
my arms, legs, back, stomach, sides, ass, chest, they all look the same as when i was 121.
im pretty sure im blowing this out of proportion.
its only a pound.
but its the fact that i GAINED thats bothering me.
just the fact that ive gained.
i think my past penances are catching up with me.
like all that pizza i had? and those brownies? theyre coming back for vengeance.
im not mad about this. i dont have the opportunity of being mad, because ive done this to myself.
did you know that during the digestive process, fat is actually absorbed through the walls of your small intestine in tiny little blobs?
yeah. its carried through your blood stream to the place where youll find it staring back at you in the mirror tomorrow.
and it actually only takes 4 hours for your food to get to the small intestine.
if i said 'hmm food for thought' right now, itd be so cliche i think id have to throw myself down a well.
so i wont do it.
but what i will do,
is tell you about the tiny little egg thats currently doing somersaults in boiling water.
im going to eat it.
i plan to consume a thing that moves so quickly you would think its living.
it does a dance around the pot of water, with little bubbles of heat exploding on the snow white exterior.
i wonder if that would hurt.
my mom buys these eggs from the health food store, that are no bigger than the tips of my three fingers put together.
tiny little things.
these are breakfast.
and theyre damn good.

I'm always impressed (and scared, too) by your knowledge of nutrition and weight-loss related science. That news, in particular, is horrifying.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything-- one pound isn't particularly hard to get rid of, right?

The pound is probably from dinking all the water. I always gain if I drink more than 2 bottles a day, no matter how much I eat. Your body won't retain it, it's just "digesting" it. Weigh yourself in the morning after you go pee and I guarentee you've lost :)
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, girl
xoxo
you weigh your self at the same time? wii fit always tells me off if i dont weight at the same time because weight naturally changes throughout the day or something. wii fit likes to lie though
ReplyDeleteomg i remember learning about fat digestion in biology it was horrible

I love the way you write!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I learned that in anatomy last year. Gross, huh? I can just FEEL them absorbing in.
Those eggs sound fantastic. We have young hens that just started laying. 4 or 5 hens, I think? And their little eggs are probably only 4 fingers' length. And they ARE delish! So rich and flavorful. Makes those store eggs pale in comparison. They really can be bland or tasty, you know? Enjoy!
I'm going to imagine fat being absorbed through the walls of my intestine every time I'm tempted to eat something I shouldn't. Surely there's nothing more disgusting on the planet.
ReplyDeleteAre those normal chicken eggs? They sound like a perfect breakfast - tiny but proteinous :)
omg, i never knew all the like sciencey shit behind food, I just knew it made you fat - honestly reading that post was making me dry-heave, im going to think even harder now about what i pollute my body with
ReplyDeletex
That one pound is probably all water weight, so tommrow it will be gone. That whole thing with fat absorbing, it's sooo disgusting, I can almost feel myself getting fatter. Ick. Keep up the good work :D
ReplyDeleteMake sure you're weighing yourself at the same time every day. And it isn't possibly fat weight, so just try not to worry.
