Coldbonesforperfection - Striving For Perfection

how to stay safe

okay so i am making this because even though i have bad days/nights (like today) recently i’ve been feeling like my goals can actually be reached! & i’m going to give my best three tips that i use myself to help you all not feel so crappy.

disclaimer: what works for me may not work for you, please don’t use this as the guide for losing weight. also i know it doesn’t have a huge effect coming from me since i literally said i use these tips but please guys recovery is always the best option. but if that isn’t happening right now i at least want to help some of you, this is being done with my very best intentions. so without further ado...

eat to lose weight: sounds dumb & i don’t really know why this works other than what we all hear (“depriving yourself for so long can lead to binges” & then you ruin any fasting/restriction yada yada) but i haven’t fasted in so long & i’ve finally moved down from being stuck on like a plateau of not losing weight. obviously fasting every once in a while can have benefits but most of the time i eat twice a day. i eat no less than like 700 maybe (i don’t know i don’t count calories often) and have been steadily dropping. plus a lot of energy goes to your brain & i want enough power for good grades. it’s hard to get past but you do not have to completely limit yourself to reach your goals. work smart not hard!

*veganism/vegetarianism: other than the obvious health benefits eating a vegan/vegetarian diet can make it a lot easier to eat a lot more food but not a lot of calories. feeling so full can be scary but knowing that you are putting good foods into your body can be rewarding and help you give yourself bigger portions and feel satisfied. i became vegetarian, not to cut out foods i simply just do not like meat, and my meals are just fine.

allowing leeway: probably the biggest “no no” in all of our minds. honestly this was hard for me too. but like i said, we know that being deprived of certain things makes us want it more & if/when we allow ourselves to have it we may over do it. so to avoid that i do a thing where in a certain situation where there’s a big fear food (lets take a birthday party with cake being served as an example) i ask myself “will i have access to more soon?” since my mother is vegan & i am vegetarian there’s not many sweets and such in the house so for me, the only time i would have cake offered again is at another celebration. so i most likely would allow myself a small piece, maybe only a few bites if i was getting to in my head, and i would just be done with it. it really has (kind of) helped to stop obsessing over all the goodies that are sold everywhere all the time.

*veganism/vegetarianism is more than a simple diet. they require some research on how to safely incorporate new and unfamiliar eating habits into your life. if considering please do it safely and correctly, if you don’t you can cause more harm than good so be careful.

please remember all of this was written with my best intention and i really do just want to help.

@wynterpyxie my mum made a similar comment! When i Was 13/14 and wearing a tight Shirt, she was actually worried that i was pregnant because of how my belly looked. And since then she kept fatshaming me even though i Was far away from being fat

people with eds, who caused your ed and why was it your mom?

Fast for 18 hours a day. Eating window is either from 9am-3pm or from 3pm-9pm

The only foods you can eat are fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheeses, tea, coffee, and lean protein (like poultry and fish)

Fruits and vegetables Do Not count towards total cals

Don’t eat fried or overly processed foods

Watch mukbangs or kpop fan cams for 15 minutes before getting anything to eat

I’m looking to lose 10 lbs but more is always better.

My June Rules to lose 15 lbs🌸who’s trying this with me? Also ignore the gummy worms their like 100 cals for 2 :(

Just think: stick to your plans, and in 6 months, you might not even recognize yourself.

Before and afters are so motivational.

Diet Change!

So, this is the diet I was initially going to follow:

However, 300&400 calories are just too low for me. I had 300 calories today and I ended up binging (and purging), as it always happens when I eat under 500 calories.

However, the first 5 days of the diet were very good. Based on the first week of that diet, I have come up with this one:

I ate and worked out like this last week and I lost 1kg (2.2lbs) and 1cm on my thighs. So, from now on, I’ll just repeat this diet weekly until school starts.

Since I don’t like starting a diet in the middle of the week, I’ll start tomorrow (Wednesday) on day 3, with 900 calories. I’m already one week into the challenges, so I’ll just keep doing them.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to stick to this one, because school is closer and closer. Only 32 days to go. If I get to 53.5kgs by September 10th, I will be the happiest person ever, because that’s been my gw for sooo long. Ugw is 51 or 50, but I know I realistically can’t lose that much until my deadline.

SW: 57.5kgs

GW: 53.5kgs

Thigh Gaps.

I’ve decided to write a little something on how to achieve a thigh gap- I’ve seen a lot of people asking if it’s even possible to get one if you’re not naturally bow legged and it totally is. You just need to be committed enough to your exercise routine, you can’t expect to starve yourself every second day and wind up looking thin and willowy.

My best advice is do lots of cardiovascular work- too much resistance or weights training will build big muscles that you don’t want. I am a professional dancer and dance is my only exercise, and my thigh gap is getting better every day! 

One of the best exercises for a thigh gap is a dance move you’ve probably heard of- The Twist. It’s simple and fun, if you do it properly there’s enough movement to affect your thighs and hips. Make sure you stand with your feet shoulder width apart, on a smooth surface with socks or soft soled shoes on- if you’re on carpet, barefoot or in shoes that grip, you’ll wind up using your knees too much and hurting them. 

Twist your torso the opposite way to the way your knees are going- try to isolate your leg movements as opposed to your body. Then, shift your weight from left foot to right foot, right foot to left foot, while twisting. You can twist with one leg forward, twisting forward over it and leaning back. There are so many variations on it and you can honestly do it anywhere. I often twist while showering or doing mundane little errands, people thinking I’m just goofing around but in actual fact I’m getting that little closer every second to achieving the perfect thigh gap. 

Drink lots of water, especially with a little lemon in it, or even with a little chilli powder, to kick start your metabolism and keep you hydrated. It works like a charm!

Also, get used to standing on the outside edges of your feet. If you’re flat footed it will make your thighs sit closer together. Holding most of the weight on the outside of your feet while still keeping your feet flat will straighten out your legs and improve your posture.

I’ll post more little tips if people are interested- this blog is new but I’ve been doing this for a lot longer.
