Why 127 Hours made me think of this blog:
I finally got to see 127 Hours yesterday; I’ve been wanting to see it for awhile. My brother showed me the extended trailor for it when it was released, and I remembered watching the Dateline episode featuring Aron Ralston when it aired with my parents. If you haven’t seen it already, I recommend it; James Franco is amazing and the fact that it’s a true story is just insane.

brittanyiscolderthanice asked: <------- That picture. So damn sexy.
Also, you always like the posts that mean the most to me. I think its because you connect with my heart and brain since you my wifey.
AND that story about your mom is so funny. I would totally laugh if you answered to hairball.

carmenelida-deactivated20110530 asked: When you first started your journey to weight loss, how did you stop yourself from eating junk food or just unhealthy food in general? I find it soooo difficult to just say no and I kind of want to hear how you handled your cravings when you first started out. :)
Thank you by the way!

“He’s like, ‘How soon into a meal do you typically feel full and stop eating?’
…I’m like, I don’t stop eating when I’m full. The meal is not over when I’m full. The meal is over when I hate myself! That’s when I stop! I guess normal people eat till they’re like, oh, that’s all the nutrition I require right there, I just...

Food dilemmas.
My parents want to go out to dinner tonight, but I don’t want to go over my calories today because I haven’t been 100% on top of it the past couple of nights…but I don’t want to be a little douchebag and not go, either, because I don’t do much with them.
I’m sure I’ll end up going. I just have to figure out a [fairly] healthy alternative wherever we end...

Oh, mom.
Mom: Hey, hairball [talking to the cat]
Me: Hey what’s up
—silence—
Me: I just said, “hey, what’s up,” wasn’t that funny? You know, because you were talking to the cat
Mom: Yeah I heard you, and I ignored it, did you not catch that?
Me: …Well that was rude.
Mom: [under her breath, making it even RUDER] God you’re so lame.
Me: I can hear...

Waiting to eat!
I’m making myself wait till 3:00pm to eat my ‘official’ lunch so that I can just have a small snack before dinner, which will be around 6, and not pig out between then. Usually I do a good job of eating every couple of hours so I stay full and keep my metabolism up, but for some reason today and yesterday I’m having issues with it. No likey, people. Although it is nearly 3;...

Late post!
I ate kinda sorta maybe a little crappy today; not gonna lie. It was one of those days where you don’t eat any real meals and just eat random crap that you find laying around the kitchen; I started off my day with a muffin that is more calories than I should be wasting on one specific thing. I am still under my caloric limit for the day, though, so I guess that’s the upside to the...

My first WIW!
I decided to hop on the WIW bandwagon and weigh-in with a good majority of you guys; today is my first WIW ever. Today’s lucky number is:
122.2
Why this is kind of annoying: Because I was 122 flat before, and then I slacked off on my exercise [okayyyy I just didn’t do any] for a week and went up to 124.something, so now I’m kind of just back to where I started.
Why is this a...

I've finally found a blog who has the same HW that I had. I started late October and I am now 137 , however I stopped for a while and maintained my weight I have now for about a month and a half-ish. I've decided I need to knuckle down again because losing weight for me is...
skinnycecile asked: OMG. we have the same SW, except I'm a bit taller. And, you started on my birthday. You look gorgeous in the pic you posted:) Its so inspiring that you are down to 122, congrats girl!! I am new to my weight loss journey...How did you begin and what was the hardest part about starting?

damn you, mcdonalds!
i had a conversation about how amazing mcdonalds breakfast is the other day, and now that i’m fully in weight-loss-mode i automatically wondered how many calories are in an egg mcmuffin; before that would never have crossed my mind.
500 calories for large fries?! way to ruin my LIFE.
300 for the egg mcmuffin wouldnt seem so bad if i didnt demolish that in .5 seconds!
not like i wasnt...

fruits & vegetables FTW
i’d like to say that i think my parents lucked out with me when it comes to veggies; i was never one of those kids that didnt like them. except zuccini [sp? i dont even care. it doesnt deserve to be spelled correctly, it’s THAT disgusting] which can kiss my ASS.
i remember my mom trying to put cheese on top of zuccini one time to disguise the taste so i wouldnt know what it was....

I have seen your before and after pics and you look stunning!
I was wondering if you could help me.
I have a problem with my thigh and bottom fat.
I'm really really fat and jiggly and it really isn't normal for my upper frame(I'm skinnyish up top but down I'm like a killer whale.)
Do you have any exercises to suggest? I do squats...

justfivemore asked: so i just started following you (someone i follow promoted you :]) and that picture you just posted freaked me out because you are identical to demi lovato. not sure if you take that as a compliment or not, but i think you're stunning. definitely meant to be a compliment!
anyway, this was random, you're really pretty, and i like your blog thus far :]

i've found myself with nothing to do tonight.
i think i’m gonna take advantage of this time to do some exercises and burn off some of my dinner. i’m gonna spend some time socking the crap out of the punching bag and get in some crunches for sure; maybe dance around for a while to drop some calories in a fun way.
i’ve got a couple books to read [book nerds FTW] if i feel like doing so, but i also found a box of crayons in my...

went down the WRONG aisle in the grocery store...
i went to pick up a prescription from the grocery store earlier and chose the worst aisle to go down. as soon as i walked into it, to the left were huge bars of hershey’s and 5 million other types of chocolate that i would scarf down in .5 seconds if i didnt have the amount of self-control that i have now. i cringed as soon as i saw it; no girl on their period should be in that aisle.
as i...

huge NSV! and...SV! [do we say that?]
i went to a party last night and danced the whole time. i had 2 and a half beers but turned down any more than that, which was tough in itself cuz we all know my middle name is corona [um, not really. that was a dumb joke. but i thought i’d clarify before i get messages like what?! your middle name is corona?!] so i’m happy with myself for not over-doing it.
BUT as i was dancing...

Anonymous asked: do you know where i can get weight loss memes or surveys? :)
beachbabys asked: i always see you say that you don't eat past 6 or 7 at night. my question is, what time do you normally go to bed? it's so hard not to eat past then when going to bed at 12, 1, 2 am, so i'm curious! aside from that, i just want to say congrats on your weight loss, you've worked for those results and you look great!

time to go spend time with the punching bag.
i need a drink right now. PMS is a terrible thing.

foreverours-deactivated20110321 asked: Hey it's me again with another question hehe. How did you overcome eating at night? It's really hard for me because after getting home from a night out that's when I would just mindlessly go to the kitchen and binge. Even if I ate beforehand I continued to do so. Now it's a terrible habit because I feel uncomfortable if I don't binge at night but I try really hard not...

NEWFLASH: a binge is NOT eating 2 cookies instead...
could you do without an extra cookie? sure.
is it going to ruin your day, your week, your month or your life because you had more than one? no.
did you BINGE because you ate more than one? no. if you’re referring to binge eating disorder, because you ate two cookies instead of one, and you haven’t hit anywhere near 900 calories…cut the crap.
should you be crying because you...

sunoblog asked: Ooo I have another question. What do you usually wear to the gym? Idk what it is with me, but I feel like the world stares at me while I run on the treadmill or use the elliptical. But in reality no one really cares lol. So I always try and look as "athletic" as possible... fail :P
