Hey everyone, I've just finished my first week on Blue...kinda nervous to go to workshop. So hi!

Hey there y'all, I'm Michelle. I'm 25 and I live in Dallas. While finishing college and experiencing health issues/surgery, I gained probably 40 or so pounds. I cried when I saw myself in my graduation outfit, and they were not tears of joy. At 5'2", being 212lbs ain't cute. I'll never judge anyone else's starting point or body, but I'm extremely harsh on myself. But I've been trying harder than ever to become healthy again.

It's very hard for me to even talk about my weight. I understand it's important, but I get very emotional about it. In addition to my health issues, my diagnosis of PTSD a few years ago (on top of major depression & panic attacks) just took the wind out of my sails, and food made me happy/forget past trauma. No help at all living in Austin at the time, if you've ever been there, it's the food truck capital of the world. I rarely hit the bars on 6th street, I was always going for Homeslice pizza, tacos, or these fckin deep fried thai food rolls...pad thai, pad kee mao, fried rice? Let's just roll that sht up and deep fry it. Not. Fair. Oh God.... I'm so hungry it hurts rn. I've been focused until today. I drove by a frozen custard shop otw to a client and nearly burst into tears.

That's my thing: I'm really struggling right now, I've made it through the week, been doing hot dynamic power yoga 3x a week all of 2020, but I've also started a new job walking dogs for several hours a day AND I'M SO HUNGRY. Ugh!!!! I've been drinking all of the water, crushed an entire bag of baby carrots, used up all my points between breakfast and lunch, and now I'm like looking up zero point meals just ready to give up. What do I do? I know IFU at breakfast getting an egg white grilled chickfila muffin and an iced coffee. I'm at a loss. Do I just not eat?

And I'm just about out of groceries....not really sure how to negotiate the grocery store now having started Blue. Anything y'all stock up on? How do you fight off the sweets cravings? I'd punch a small child in the face for a Whataburger with cheese right now. Oh, man.

I'm looking for any and all words of advice and/or motivation. Sorry for the all over the place story, I'm losing it while trying to lose it.

PS happy Friday💜

9 Things You Can Do Daily To Help Reduce Cellulite

Image
We’re just going to start off by saying that although cellulite may not be the most pleasant thing to have to deal with, it is in fact, totally normal, with an estimated 80 to 90 per cent of women over the age of 25 having cellulite to some degree. Further to this, cellulite doesn’t discriminate, affecting women of all ages and body types (yes, even those who are super lean) — and whilst there is no quick fix or miracle cure, the good news is that there are a few things you can do on a daily basis to help keep those dreaded dimples away. Here, we explain what they are, with the help of trusted naturopath and founder of Edible Beauty , Anna Mitsios. Image: Edible Beauty “ The term cellulite refers to the dimpled appearance of the skin that typically occurs on the hips, thighs, and buttocks, caused by fat deposits that push and distort the connective tissues beneath skin,” Anna tells Sporteluxe . Anna explains that although the exact cause of cellulite is not known, things such a

A Nutritionist On 4 Things To Consider When It Comes To Vegan Supplements

Image
Written by nutritionist, Steph Geddes . For those who may not be aware, vegans do not consume any animal products so essentially remove meat, poultry, eggs, seafood or dairy from their diet. They also don’t consume products made from animal sources such as broths, gelatine and honey. Therefore their diet consists solely of plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.  Whilst this can be considered a very healthy way of eating if the focus is on getting a very well balanced variety of wholefoods foods in one’s diet, it can also mean that vegans may rely on processed foods, refined carbohydrates, added sugars and products full of additives and preservatives as their base diet. If you’re vegan and struggle to get a minimum of 5-7 serves of vegetables, 2-3 serves of fruit as well as plenty of varied grains, legumes, nuts and seeds per day then you should  definitely consider a supplement. Even on a non-vegan very healthy, wholefood based diet, it can be a diff
