imgonnamakeachange: arc-hitect: perfectiontales: Yes, the scale lies sometimes, and the number it shows depends on many factors. No you haven’t gained a pound in a day, that’s impossible. By weighing yourself everyday you can become obsessed, apart from that, the fact of seing how the number doesn’t go down or how it goes up a little bit can make you want to quit. You’re not going to lose weight overnight. WHEN AND HOW TO WEIGH YOURSELF Set a day a week to weigh yourself. Do it in the first time in the morning, before eating or drinking anything. Do never weigh yourself the day/days after a binge, it will take time to your body to dygest and process that food. Make sure you drank enough water the day before the weigh-in, most of the time if you see the number going up, it is only water retention. Remember that the muscle weighs more than the fat. Don’t weigh yourself during your period or the days around it, it may vary because of your hormones. I just think everybody should know this x I haven’t weighed myself in like half a year lol. Best thing I ever did.

WHEN AND HOW TO WEIGH YOURSELF

  • Set a day a week to weigh yourself.
  • Do it in the first time in the morning, before eating or drinking anything.
  • Do never weigh yourself the day/days after a binge, it will take time to your body to dygest and process that food.
  • Make sure you drank enough water the day before the weigh-in, most of the time if you see the number going up, it is only water retention.

365DC day 77&78 and 80DWLC day 74&75

Day 77: what gives you everyday inspiration
Inspriration for what? For living, for art, for making it through the day?

Day 78: would you rather people be honest with you, even if it’s something not good, or lie to you to make you feel good
I’m a no bullshit kind of person. I’d rather know the truth even if it sucks.

74.    Today you won’t count calories. You won’t look at food labels. You will try to eat intuitively. What does that mean? Eat when you’re hungry, don’t look at the clock! Eat whatever your body desires! Just make sure it’s healthy. If you crave anything sweet, eat it! But a healthy amount. And remember, today you must forget all about calories!
Yeah, we ate at Arby’s so I pretty much had to make myself forget about calories.

75.    Do you have a “trigger food”? A type of food that is impossible for you to say no to or stop eating?
I have shitty self control in general when it comes to sweets, so most of the time I say yes to them, but it’s not something I couldn’t fix.
