shocked, pt. 2.


i love all the comments about shocked pt. 1..so i decided to make a sequel. 

a slight, short update.  i remember when i had my anorexic stint in college how weird it was to begin to eat normally again.  it felt balanced and strange.  the feel i am getting from starting this eating regime, however, is somewhat the same.  i am feeling like this is what i needed to do all along.  the other part i like about it, is that it's not geared towards exercise...not that you can't exercise, or that they don't encourage it...but you are eating what you need to lose weight healthily without exercising. If you exercise, you are expected to eat more, as you will likely gain from body sabotage if you eat too little. 

i think you'll all understand this line of thought...but when you start doing things right, you start "getting your body cues".  like, you start noticing when you are hungry....you notice when you are full.  i notice on this, that there is not a way in hell that could eat the bare minimum on this and then go work out...i would definitely need more. 

i am really happy about this and excited.  i'll post more about the progress later! 

oh, and i think i just bought the most veggies i ever have at the store!  :)

Good luck. I find that eating fresh veggies are really yummy.

There are things I like and things I dislike about Jenny Craig. The one thing, though, that the program has forever changed is the substantially increased amount of vegetables we eat. OMG. It's amazing and actually really great. I'm not sure I could get by lunch without a big salad now!

a little something about me and the life i choose to live!
