Can you tell I'm addicted to the Advertising Slogan Generator too? (Thanks Kimba!)
I've been thinking a lot about deprivation today... ever since an anonymous poster made me feel like a total freak for trying to avoid feeling deprived while I sort out my new healthy lifestyle. (For the record, no I don't feel deprived when I see junkies shooting up, because heroin is not my drug of choice... food is! But hell, I bet if I were an ex-junkie coming clean and I was watching other junkies shooting up, I might feel a tad tempted to join in!)
It's not that I TRY to feel deprived... in fact, I've been consciously working on trying to view junk food as just that: JUNK that will make me feel bad and poison my body. That way, when I see people eating fatty food, I won't think 'ooooh I would kill to eat that', I'll think 'yucko, I'd feel so crappy and bloated if I ate that!'
I AM starting to get my head around it... but sometimes I just decide to avoid the possibility of feeling deprived by having 'a little' of what everyone else is having, so I feel like I'm not missing out altogether. Does anyone else do this? (Speaking to my fellow healthy lifestyle bloggers here!) Or do you just go cold turkey and reason with yourself that you'll feel better if you have none at all?
I'm sooo damn hormonal at the moment... lol... got all teary last night thinking I was such a failure because I had a bit of banana from a banana fritter (I only ate a couple of bites of the banana mostly minus the fatty fried outer shell)... mum rang up to congratulate me on how well I'd done with food yesterday (how sweet is that!), and all I could do was wail 'But I had some banana!' LOL. Then Miles reasoned that I should think of the good things I did yesterday rather than concentrate on the bad, which is so true... I was imagining earlier what I would've eaten yesterday PRE-healthy lifestyle, and almost puked at the thought! Yesterday I mostly avoided chocolate (had a tiny bit of an easter egg that my sister's boyfriend gave me, but that was it... COULD have had much more!), had no prawn crackers, no spring rolls, ate lots of veggies, no icecream or cream on my pancakes, and the list goes on. Normally I probably would've put on a couple of kilos I reckon, but I'm hoping to actually lose this week.
 So YAY to my new lifestyle... and yay to the sexy bikini I'll be in next summer because of it! ;) Oh, and in case you are wondering what the semi-naked girl is doing on the left, well, that's the bikini I'm gonna be wearing towards the end of next summer! :) LOL
Hope everyone had a fabbo weekend! Can't believe it's Sunday night already...

Yay for you B... and big poo to the dickhead who tried to make you feel bad... I know exactly what you meant and how you feel like that sometimes... and you are doing so well changing that mentality (I have it too!) but its not going to happen overnight is it!? You just keep thinking about what it does to your body and opt for whatever works for you, whether its a little try or going cold turkey.. myself I think I need a little try too... but then sometimes that is way worse, you know!!
And very sext bikini!! Cool, I'll be able to wear one too! We are going to be sooo sexy!!
