KEEP GOING

I'm the maid-of-honor in my best friend's wedding

and she's started getting discouraged with her bridal diet.

In the first 2 weeks, she dropped 7lbs

(she doesn't have much to lose in the first place)

and now she's at a stand-still.

Her frustration reminded me of this saying:



Week Excitement

Insurgent will be out in ONE WEEK.

In honor of my excitement, here's a shot of Zoë Kravitz being tiny.

Timehop Reminder

This photo came up on my Timehop

and I was so shocked by how small I used to be...

I mean, sure, I was younger

...but I wasn't a child...

so the childish frame&legs&arms just threw me off.

I don't even remember looking that way.

I was a much better version of myself 6 years ago.

I really need to get my shit together.

InstaFitness

This is one of my friends from college.

She's very into herself.

I personally would never post pictures like this,

but I don't mind seeing them,

cause they're definitely thinspirational.

 

Incredible Ellie

I've loved Ellie Goulding since I discovered Starry Eyed in 2010.

She's beautiful and her voice is sensual&intriguing.

When I saw her in concert last year

I fell even more in love with her movement&mannerisms.

Obviously, I love any song she releases,

but I'm especially obsessed with her new Calvin Harris mix:

Outside.

And, of course, she looks incredible in the music video.

Grammy Thin

I can't say I'm a huge fan of Ariana Grande

...not because I have anything against her,

I just don't listen to a lot of current pop music.

But, if I had to pick the most adorable&thinnest musician

(besides Miley, of course)

on the 57th Grammy Red Carpet last night

it would certainly be Ariana.

Some tweets I saw during the show really accentuated her tiny shoulders.

I mean, she is an itty-bitty person in general...

I remember how small she looked during the VS Fashion Show,

and, even though I was pretty thin when I was 21, too

I'm really motivated to work out my fat arms now.

(haha)

Thankfully, some of my least favorite people looked terrible...

Beyoncé&KimK looked average&old.

And those who tend to always look wonderful did:

like Taylor&Rihana&Gwen.

It's always thinspiration to see celebs all-dolled-up.

Simply flawless

Ariana looking adorable with Big Sean

Miley's dress was perfect

Clothing Purge

I posted about minimizing my life recently

and I definitely took that to heart this past weekend.

I purged my house of clothing.

(which was everywhere...)

I whittled my wardrobe down to only 33 tops

and fit my pants&skirts&shorts all into one trunk.

After filling 4 garbage bags of donations,

I ended up with one small coat closet full of sweatshirts&dresses&tanks.

I certainly could pick "my life" into a car

...not just a carry-on suitcase like Shai, but let's be realistic here.

Thin Friend

One of my tiny facebook friends.

I need to adopt the habits of these thin people.



Popular Fat

These girls went to my high school.

They were the "popular girls."

The one in the cardi is pregnant, so I won't judge her.

I think it's impressive that the two on the outside are still thin,

(especially since the blond has 2 kids)

but I feel incredibly satisfied by the leopard-printed-shirt-one.

She was always the nice one who'd turn on you on a dime.

If you were cool that week, she was cool with you.

If you weren't cool, she didn't give you the time of day.

When her and her long-term boyfriend broke up,

she contacted me to help her move and find a new job.

Sure, yeah, I'll bend over backward for you after all these years.

I thought to myself, but obviously I helped anyway.

I wouldn't say I truly dislike any of them,

but I am very happy to be out of high school and far away.

Leopard-print has packed on quite a few pounds.

I smirk at the additional weight

and giggle at the comment she left on that group picture.

You're right, you look chubby,

and your friend who told you you're beautiful is simply kissing your ass.

I say to myself.

And I tell myself that I will never look like her

or have anyone telling me that I look good when I'm really fat.



Wintergirls

I decided I wanted to read 15 books in 2015,

so I wracked my brain for books I'd been wanting to read.

I read Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson, in high school

and loved it

and assumed I'd love Wintergirls as well.

I wasn't wrong.

I read the entire book in one 2.5hr flight.

The way she writes is so dark&haunting

yet so beautiful&realistic&raw.

The main character has an eating disorder

and the book basically documents her battle

along with a very significant event that has happened in her life.

I would definitely recommend it.



Angel Thin

The 2014 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show aired this week

(obvs, you probably all knew that)

and, of course, I watched&loved it.

I'll admit that I didn't like it as much as years' past

but it was still thinspirational&beautiful.

Those models ...my goodness... have the tiniest&longest legs.

I can't even aspire to look like them

cause my body just isn't made that way.

My favorite Angel is Candice and I loved her fairy look.

And my favorite performer was Taylor Swift

who looked like she should have been one of the Angels herself.

A good watch to make me behave - but not the best show ever.

I think I enjoyed all the workout posts they did even more...

a lot of the Angels posted what they did to prepare

and VS put it on their blog so everyone can "Train Like an Angel."

Maybe I'll try some of the workouts.

Anna Thin

I wish I could describe myself as "very small."

I know she's referring to her height, too,

but in general - she has a tiny body.

I was reading a blog with thinspo movie suggestions

and a lot of people commented that Pitch Perfect is

...I never really noticed, but I can totally see it.

I find it kind of ironic that their are so many movements toward

- accepting your body as it is -

- celebrating your average body -

- embracing your curves -

yet celebrities just get smaller&smaller

and the stories we try to relate to in movies

are acted out by frail actresses that we shouldn't aspire to be.

I'll be watching Pitch Perfect 2 for sure

...and probably fasting that day.

MonoThin

I need mono.

One of my college girlfriends has been sick

...for like a month...

and finally found out that it's mono.

I felt bad

but mostly I felt jealous

of all the weight she'll lose.

Skinny Makeouts

I don't even know who these people are...

but I was scrolling through EOnline

and ran across this article

and fell in love with how tiny that girl is.

Of course the tan&skinny girl

has a super hot guy to make out with.

Birthday Party Thin

I can't imagine having such a beautiful group of friends.

Ellie Goulding - Taylor Swift - Vanessa Hudgens

Though, I'd probably be incredibly insecure.

...so many thin&gorgeous people living amazing lives...

I love how tiny Sarah Hyland looks in this photo.

Goals - Goals - Goals



Biggest Picture

One of my best college girlfriends

has been using spinning&swimming and Weight Watchers

to lose the weight she gained after moving home from college.

She looks amazing!

And at lunch on Thursday afternoon

we were discussing how easy it is to gain without noticing.

We were talking about when we'd been at our "biggest"

and I can picture so clearly the exact day I think

I was the biggest I've ever been.

I had a day off from work and I did some shopping.

I wore a loose dress that I'd always worn with a belt,

but I let it fall sloppily around my chubby body.

I threw on accessories

- scarves&bracelets&layers -

to distract from how big my body looked.

My face was bloated&round

...even big sunglasses couldn't cover my sweaty cheeks.

I took pictures with some of the displays I liked.

(obviously not completely aware of how disgusting I looked)

Now I can look back on them

and remind myself never to look like that again.
