It's better than you think.

Another day and I have to say, the good thing about healthy eating is you can eat a lot! I'm having a hard time reaching my calories because the food with enough protein keeps me full for a long time. Now, something I have to say, I don't eat anything I don't like and that's the truth. Luckily I love chicken and vegetables and I don't count the fruit, remember, so I'm eating more than it seems. I also realize that I need to mix up what I eat or I'll get bored. So far this week I've eaten the same things and I need to make sure I don't get into a rut.

Yesterday I went on Pinterest to look at clothes instead if recipes, to keep pumping myself up for all the cute stuff I want to wear and I couldn't help notice how much we idolize skinny. Some of these girls are sooooo tiny and it worries me. What worries me most is that I get caught up in it too.  I wish my thighs wouldn't touch and I secretly want to look like Kristen Bell  and I hate myself for it. I'm a feminist and very against negative and unhealthy body image. I want all women to feel beautiful no matter what. So why can't I? I don't have an answer but do think this has something to do with my inability to lose weight. Somewhere I feel like a hypocrite. Anyone else feel this way? Where does healthy stop and vanity start? I don't know...
