Will2B's 2007 Log

[Will2BLean]

I know not everyone is the same - but from your pics, you look like a leaner girl who could use some muscle definition which is similar to me. And I can tell you that for me, since mid-nov (almost 8 wks now) that I've been eating about 300-400 cals more per day. I haven't seen any real weight gain on the scale and instead I look tighter, have more energy, my lifting has improved and I have no desire to binge. When I am hungry, I'm very satisfied with a little bit of cottage cheese with some nuts (protein + fat).

The reason I may not have gained scale weight could also be because now that I'm eating properly to fuel myself with good foods, I no longer am tempted to do larger cheats etc. So basically before, I was eating 10-12x my bodyweight (which isn't a lot when you weigh what I do) and then screwing myself up with my weekly cheats. Now I eat 15x my bodyweight with clean and nutritionally dense foods and don't cheat unless I have to because some social situation absolutely calls for it.

I guess my point is don't be scared to eat a little more. Try it out for 2-3 weeks, see how it works out for you and then make the necessary changes....sure beats wanting to gnaw your limbs off!

I will try bumping my cals up by 100 every few days until I feel satisfied. Once I get to that point, I'll give it a go for a couple weeks to see what happens!

I think my pics may be deceiving, though. My stomach area is SO squishy! I had a waist once upon a time, and I want it back. LOL!

Keep us posted on how it goes! I bet you just another 200-300 cals will make you feel very different.

You post pics in a bikini, so I'm not sure how that could be all that deceiving! I swear we are each our own toughest critics!

You get the Post of the Day with that statement roony.

Will2 great job, the log looks great, every part of it. Stick with it. You WILL make it through this weekend. You can do it.

Oh, you all will definitely know how it goes. I have this week's meal plan ready, and it's 150 cals up from last week's. I feel good about it, and it's still right under 12x my body weight, so it's not TOO frightening. hehehe

Yep, I post pics in a bikini, but pictures don't capture the jiggle motion.

Thanks! I FEEL like I can stick with it for once. I'm actually feeling quite empowered right about now... I declined cherry cordials AND carrot cake at work today, and when people asked why I wasn't eating it, I didn't even make up an excuse!
