Health Link: Looking to gain muscle? Buy toxic friends
By Groovybabe • Aug 13th, 2008 • Category: all, being motivated, diet management, food, health, mental healthI have been meaning to write this for hours but keep getting sidetracked with the “brain game” on Facebook! I am forced myself off it now though. I guess it keeps me from eating though!!
I have had yet another good day - 3 days in now - and am so chuffed that I am back on the wagon. It makes me feel so good about myself. Here is yesterdays stats:
Calories - 1665
Carbs - 48.4%
Protein - 16.4%
Fat - 35.6%
Alcohol - 0%
Water - 1.5 litres
Fruit & Veg - 6 portions
I can’t tell you how much healthier I feel. I know I keep repeating myself but eating healthily is most definately underrated!!! My hair and skin is better, I have more energy, I feel healthy and it also lifts my depression!!
Even though I have consistantly eaten no more than 1600 calories I have not lost a single pound!! I did lose one pound yesterday but it was back on today. I am due on my period tomorrow though so I am attributing it to that. We will see what the next few days bring, once I come on.
I had that mole checked out today. I am fine! The dermotologist did say that it is identical to how a dangerous melonoma would look so I did right in investigating it but it is actually just a blood blister. The poor man got really excited and asked if he could take pictures “for educational purposes”! He was stressing the importance of trainee doctors needing to know the difference between a blood blister and an angry melonoma (he doesnt have to tell me!) and he was well excited, so I let him. Just hope he had the right diagnosis!!
I really never want to touch evil sugar again, you know. I used to think it was my best friend but it is so two-faced! It goes around pretending to be all sweetness and light (literally) but it is anything but. It is out to wreck revenge on my body and I have finally seen it for the nasty backstabbing ingredient that it is!!!!!!!!!!! In fact, I am going out of my way to ignore it and keep my distance. Everytime I think about meeting up with that friendly bar of chocolate or sweet candy I think twice because a) I don’t like how rubbish it makes me feel and b) I am scared it will bring my defenses down and render my motivation useless. Sugar is a toxic friend!
Groovybabe is 14.9 stones today and has lost 2lbs at her last weigh in.

I totally agree with you about the sugar. I am very hesitant to allow myself any sugary treats nowadays. It could be the root of all evil! I look at it the same way you do: That is could bring my defenses down and render my motivation useless! Oh, and I agree about eating healthier making you feel healthier in general. Before I started eating healthier (and, by healthier - really what I mean is when I stopped eating total junk every day), I had started getting acne in places I had never gotten acne before - - and thank goodness that is no longer a problem. I also love the way I feel when I’m completely hydrated. When I’ve had plenty of water, I feel good. It makes me feel like crap when I’m dehydrated now (yet for some strange reason, I can’t remember to drink enough water!!).
Yeah, sugar is absolutely awful. I get spots too when I eat sugar, if only I’d realised this was why when I was a teen I would have better skin now!! I still struggle with keeping hydrated but I am trying!!
