Battle scars

One of the negative (don't judge me for calling them negative) consequiences of loosing weight are stretching marks.

 The yo-yo diets, rapid gains and losses of many pounds strech the skin, making it slower to bounce back and leave strech marks on the skin

Tomorrow will be a tough day!!))

Tuna salad

(242 calories)

Some rules...

Here are some things... I need to stop doing.or start doing...

   I won't skip meals anymore, because when I do, i end up so hungry that I can't help but overeat. And everyone knows what happens next – more fat adds riiiiiight on your waist.

3 meals a day and 2 snacks won't do this (in proper portions and healthy).

Ready, set, Go!

Failure is not the falling down- it's the staying down!!

    I suppose I should start with a few details about me.. so, I'm 24 years old and in a constant battle for the last 4 years. How I get here it's a loong long story I may post it someday.. 

    I started to change my lifestyle in august 2011. The plan was to diet a few months and loose some weight. But now I want more than that. I want a healthier lifestyle, a healthier me, so I had this brilliant ideea of creating this blog – a place of mine where I can share my ups and downs, celebrate the losses, cry my gains, a blog about everythig: food, workouts, meal plans, recipes, calories, daily intakes,tips, whinning, future plans, thoughts and anything else I can think of. Im taking photos of what I eat, counting calories, counting burned calories, writing everything down so I can keep track of everything.
