Long time no see.

Hi guys! I’m amazed so many of you stuck around.

I’m realizing that today was my last day of studio and next week I finish up my finals. I definitely should have kept up with this in the past year, but I think maybe it was a good idea to leave alone for a while. I’ve done a lot of growing.

I’ll be honest, I slacked pretty hard. College is rough on your social diet, and exercise is admittedly very easy to forget about when you’ve got classes and studio work. But I’m definitely proud to say I avoided the dreaded freshman fifteen! In fact, In early March I was miserably sick, and when I went to the clinic they weighed me in at 160 with all of my layers on (I was feverish, so I was FREEZING).

My metabolism has definitely sped up, and I’m at my thinnest. I physically cannot binge anymore, not in the sense that I used to. I mean, sure, the occassional shit-I-just-ate-all-these-Ruffles when watching a movie with friends happens. And it should! I’m not going to be 20 and not indulge in a few stereotypes, as long as it doesn’t overthrow my health.

I also recently discovered that I’m either a) lactose intolerant or b) have IBS. I need to see a doctor to officially be sure but I’ve been avoiding dairy to the best of my ability, which has helped my eating habits.

Anyway, I get the keys to my very first apartment on Monday, where I’ll be living with my best friend here in Kansas City and my boyfriend. And yes, don’t worry, I truly would not move in with my significant other if I didn’t think I would fare well. Also why we found a third person, just in case.
Produce is insanely cheap here if you go to the city market and eat by season! So are nuts and beans. Eating healthy will be considerably easier next year, and I’m stoked. And so ready to begin my career in animation!

Anyway, I’m sorry for the wall of text, I just wanted to post an update for anyone that’s still hanging around. I’m gonna try to be more present now that I’m headed back to Rhode Island for a couple months.

How are you guys?!

remember that time I said I’d get that tattoo after being binge-free for so many days? this is it.

Way to be, Heather.

I completely forgot about my pictures guarantee. |: Whoops.

In other news, tonight will be a month binge-free, and I’m hoping to make a short vlog to encourage others and to talk about what’s worked for me. Not only to hopefully help some of you struggling with the same ordeal, but to also remind me for future reference. Just in case.

And I’m FINALLY getting my tattoo before I leave. FINALLY! I have a consultation on Tuesday and I cannot be any more ecstatic. I’ve wanted this for so, so long and I promised myself I’d have to commit to my health if I wanted it.

How have you all been lately?

Need to figure out some kind of exercise routine.

Since I’ve been focusing on getting my eating in check, exercise has definitely fallen off my priority list. Which is bad. Though I think I’m long enough into this to start adding workouts back into my week slowly. 

So, taking a page from @mandabears’ blog: sweaty pics tonight or you can all scold me for not following through. DEAL?

fitting into a size ‘small’ at old navy. WHAT UP!

I’M NOT DEAD!

I took a totally unannounced hiatus from this account, and for a good reason. I got into a weird state where I couldn’t focus on myself because I was constantly comparing my success to everyone else’s and I just felt so jealous and spiteful all the time. But!

I’m happy to report that I’m 19 days binge-free, my second longest streak ever. I’ve had some close calls and even some indulgent days (um, hello pms cravings, we definitely had an ice cream sundae and way too many pita chips today), but not once have I tried or even wanted to solve my problems with food. Binging does not make me feel good. Feeling obscenely full actually really sucks.

I also have no idea how much I weigh, but all of my smaller clothes fit me perfectly. I am swimming in half my wardrobe, haha.

Thank you if you’re still following me (and especially to those of you who worried about me in my ask box)! I’m doing just fine. I’ll be around to post a bit, but for the sake of my sanity I needed to take a break from my fitblr.

So… how are all of you?!
