I started reading this blog about a week ago and I got totally re-inspired to return to eating like a naturally skinny French girl. Seeing as my intakes had been ~2000 calories for the past few days, ~1500 calories makes me lose weight at the moment, so I'm not having to get too obsessive about counting calories. Just going on intuition I guess. Yesterday I had a big brunch with Tina, Zara and Alfie who had stayed the night - coffee with vanilla soymilk & chocolate powder, a croissant with ham, Swiss cheese and dijonaise, and a strawberry & vanilla yogurt. In the afternoon because it was such a nice day we went to the pub and I had most of a big bottle of ice-cold pear cider (it tasted so good after two weeks of no alcohol...) and in the evening I had 1/2 chocolate cookie and a few crisps forced on me by my sister (positively un-French, I must say) before I headed up to Central London to see a performance installation theatre piece with my friends. Luckily I chimed in with them post-dinner so I didn't have to eat, but later I had a double vodka & diet coke, and I am SO impressed with myself that I didn't drunk munch! Always happens to me. I went straight home afterwards and passed out in bed at 1am. I was sooo tired and tragically drunk after my 2 drinks as my tolerance has died. Which is fine with me... cheaper and less calories!
Today I weighed 142.0 (-3 lbs in one day) and I worked out I had about 950 calories yesterday, so I'm aiming for 1000 today. It's 2.30... I've already had brunch (coffee with cream; nutella croissant; yogurt), and Alfie is coming at 5 to help my mum with the car (how manly) so I think I will wait until then, when maybe I'll get a drink or an iced coffee or something, then I can have un petit dîner of cheese, crackers, wine and an apple, and possibly some cherry tomatoes or leaves.
That's all guys. Feeling a bit better, hoping things are finally turning around.
Have some pretty pictures x
Great job :) I am so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThings are looking up for you! Little changes can cause huge differences!
ReplyDeleteWow that is pretty awesome. Some people do have to eat a huge amount of calories to lose any weight. That is why for me I can not go below 1000 cal. It's like my body freaks out and starts holding on to every damn thing.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I am glad you are doing so so well. I didn't know you had an operation coming up. I will have you in my prayers :-)
Yes you enjoy yourself and even afterwards :-P
Sweetheart! I've replied to your lovely.comment on my own.page.:) hope you can see it
ReplyDeleteFrench girls and woman are super elegant, which makes them a great source of inspiration! I think Italian woman make a great inspiration too.. Eat what is necessary (not more), eat natural and eat with passion.. Your body is a temple and deserves the best!
maybe I should look at those woman a lot more! Its great to read you feel out.of.your binging period! :)
Im so.glad.your.feeling better!!
Love Anna
Very nice pictures you posted. I especially liked the one from Roman Holiday (such a good movie)! I'm also intrigued by your tolerance for alcohol declining as you don't drink - not quite like riding a bike. (I'm really tired, and just want to let you know that I read all of your posts. Gah, I'm so behind on your life, forgive me.)
ReplyDeleteLove you!
