Vacation Time

Off to spend a week in the sunshine.
Bikinis&Booze&Boyfriend
Be back in a week.

I will keep my Food Diary
throughout the entire vacation.
Just because I'm out of the country,
doesn't mean I can let myself get fat.
Bikinis&HealthyEats
I believe, I believe, I believe in myself
and my strength to maintain
the hard work&effort I've put forth.

LOL

Last Friday was movie day
and I decided to watch LOL...
pretty silly&cheesy movie,
but Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore
are both beautiful&thin people.
Recently, too, I've been loving Miley's style.
Her outfit at the 2013 Costume Institute Gala
was definitely one of my favorites...
I'm just loving all these 90's looks.
the Dr. Martins
the Mesh
the Tied-up Button-down Tops
...all of it.

Defeated Bestie

My best friend is going on my upcoming vacation
and
she's been so discouraged about her lack of weightloss
though she claims to be eating "super healthy"
and exercising daily.
Well now... I know her
and I know she loves carbs.
.candy.cupcakes.cereal.chips.
Not that I'm knocking her eating habits.
She can do whatever she likes.
And she's never been overweight in my eyes,
so I don't think she should worry.
But, I know that everyone has their own views
and her view of herself is different than mine
...just like when people tell me to "eat something"
when I'm feeling like a fuckin' elephant.
I try to reiterate to her:
it's not about the weight.
You should focus on how you look&feel.
I'm consistently between 125-130lbs,
but I wear x-smalls&zeros
and am generally described as small.

I just want her to feel confident&happy
and thoroughly enjoy our vacation.
I think she's beautiful,
but... as we all know
our perceptions are only our own.

Courtney Thorn-Smith-Thin

is in two of the shows I've watched lately
When Melrose started,
she seemed to just have a normal body,
but as the show progressed, she got smaller, and
- by the time she starred in Ally McBeal -
she'd gotten even more fit.
I really like her body, actually.
She's got great arms and a small waist
but it's obvious that her frame isn't tiny by nature,
so I can appreciate
the hard work she's put into maintaining her physique.
She's winy&needy on both shows,
but it's pretty funny&bearable.

As for "modern television,"
she's the mom on According to Jim
and she's still adorable&small.
I remember when that show first started
my mom mentioned thinking Courtney was cute
- now that I've seen her throughout the years -
I can see where the affection stems from.
I love the outfit she's wearing in the above photo, too.
It reminds me of dresses I dreamed of wearing
back in elementary school.
