This was absolutely perfect.

Long story short, I cried after seeing a picture I took of myself the other day. I looked so much bigger than I remember being. I vented to my boyfriend, and he told me, "But you look just fine to me." I told him, simply, "And I appreciate that, I do, but it doesn't matter. Even if Patrick Stump himself says I don't need…

Now to add to my depression, I'm horrified because I think that describes me. Sigh. Time to get away from the computer, shut up the whiny voice, and just do a lot of yoga. A. lot. of yoga.

I know what you mean. I deleted a lot of mine (most of which I deleted because my boyfriend's dog photobombed them, lmao). When I'm back at my own computer, I'm going to process and upload my pictures anyway. Even if I don't like how I look 100%, I think uploading them for the public will give me some motivation. Plus,…

Nah, that stuff is available to me in-studio, but on my own time, I just have an Olympus... some model I can't remember (not a fancy DSLR though) and my tripod. I was using outdoor lighting though. I almost never ever ever use on-camera flash -- everything just looks washed out.

In America, the media spins it so that skinny is the way to go. What's funny is that I saw an ad from maybe the 60s on Tumblr today for Brewer's yeast, I believe, saying that "Many women can add ten or twenty pounds easily with Brewer's yeast!"

Well, that's why I'm not a "photographer". I'm a photographer. ;). Yeah, it's extremely difficult to do so many things at once.

Thank you, ladies~! Yeah, I'm really good with posing -- it's been my job to pose people who aren't models for the past year, and I've learned some things to make people look thinner. It's just REALLY hard to be both the photographer and the model at the same time, hahaha. Every time I would focus the camera and click the…

It's said that allergies are in your genes, but they're sometimes not "unlocked" for several years. Some people develop an allergy at 8, others at 25. My aunt is 40-something, and she's only been allergic to peanuts for the past ten years or so.

For a doctor to say a patient is overweight or obese is not the same as picking fun at them and saying, "You're a beluga whale. DOES MR. WHALE WANT A SALAD?!" In many areas, not just weight, people need criticism, but there is a difference between trying to build the person and being hateful. I agree with the majority who…

Yes, that's how I was originally doing it -- my first goal was 135, and though it shouldn't be a difficult goal, I've not achieved it yet, and then I'd get a little frustrated that even when I got closer and closer, it seemed to feel further and further away. Ultimately, everyone just has to do what works best for them,…

Shameless self-bump.

I don't know that I would have gone to the party myself. Granted, you need to support your friends and whatever issues they face, but such a behavior is honestly really immature on her part. There are millions and a few billion people in the world -- some will look better than you, some will not. To try and control that in…

I sometimes eat right before bed, and sometimes I don't. As said, I just eat when I'm hungry. However, since I've been drinking so much water, my appetite has been suppressed. If you're worried about eating before bed too frequently, just try to limit how much you eat. Instead of having a plate of food before bed, find…

Oh, that sounds perfect! It also sounds like a good way to make sure you're getting enough fluids (which always works to de-bloat me). I wouldn't personally add water to fruits and veggies for juicing, but maybe some recipes call for that? I don't know, but thanks for sharing the link! I'll have to check it out before I do…

Thanks so much for the feedback, guys! =). Oh, awesome! Yeah, for this goal, it doesn't even have to be three days at a time, just three days in a thirty day period, so it could even be once a week, if three days at a time seems like too much. Ahh, yeah, it makes sense after a long time, you'd feel a bit starved. I'm…

Oh, that's awesome! Yeah, it's nice to shed some weight, but ultimately the best reward is just feeling better about yourself, right? =). Yes, I've seen that that's available on Netflix, and I love watching documentaries, and especially ones that concern people and their health, but I can never get the boyfriend to watch…

Am I going to say everything with a heightened intonation at the end as if I'm asking a question, as a result of reading nothing but questions for five pages?

I don't do one-night stands anyway. It's different for some people, but I think sex should be something very special, and for me, it must be with someone I can really open up to and just be free with, vulnerable. But I've been with the same guy for almost four and a half years, so I don't think I'll have any one-night…

The best thing to do is just to sip water constantly. I hate guzzling water and trying to power through it, so I just start my day with a glass of water (with a tinge of lemon juice 'cause I don't have a water filter and am very picky). For the rest of the day, I just sip. If I'm at work, I try and bring water with me to…

I'm in the same position as most people saying, "I eat what I want, just better-controlled portions". If I could shovel any food down my throat non-stop and totally shamelessly, it would just be iced coffee, with lots of cream and only a little sugar. I have simple tastes. But I totes love the Asian buffets too!

As a nineteen-year-old who is not yet a mother (unheard of in the state of Arkansas), I can't relate too well, but when I feel exhausted beyond motivation or if I'm just feeling too lazy to exercise, a cold shower puts me in my place. Not an all-cold-water shower, but a cool one. It has a lot of health benefits as well --…

Spots like pimples, or... colored spots? o_o. Or is it a texture difference?

I sing, but not publicly. Actually, when I was sixteen I had the chance to sing backup for a local band, but when I met them to tryout with them, I couldn't bring myself to sing because I just... can't sing publicly, ha. I still get mad at myself for missing such an opportunity. =(.

Always. At least I think it's called "Always". You know, the one that's all, "ALLLLWAYYYS, I WANNA BEEEE WITH YOU, AND MAKE BELIEVEEE WITH YOU, AND LIVE IN HARMONY, HARMONY, OH LOVE!" I'm sorry I typed that in all caps. Anyway, constantly playing Robot Unicorn Attack really makes the song a bit more likeable.

I'm 138 pounds, but I'm aiming to reach either 130 or 125.

I think how her clothes fit her make her seem a little slimmer than she actually is. My experience is that if people do that, and they know you're dieting, they're just trying to make you feel like you're sickly thin or trying to be sickly thin -- whether that be due to jealousy or some other reason. Don't let it get to…

I've... thought about doing such workouts, but I've always had a nice butt. I don't want to do any workouts that would make it any rounder or bigger. o_o. I do, however, want to burn some fat on my hips, but I want to affect my butt as minimally as possible.

I totally understand, man. I agree that you should snack on an apple. It's not my favorite fruit, but I think green apple taste like candy (probably 'cause they're sour). Plus, they're very fibrous, and it may not be the same for other people (because I'm a low-volume eater), but a single apple totally fills me up.

Mhm. Mhm. Mhmmmm. To make matters a little worse, I eat frequently at his place and (he lives with his grandmother) his grandmother cooks whatever the hell he wants. And I've told her how I'm dieting, and she either forgets, or she doesn't understand that vegetarians don't eat pork chops. Yes, dieting is very difficult.
