30 Day Fitspo Challenge - Day 24

Have you ever purged? If you have, describe your first experience.
gonna keep this really simple - NO! Not ever, never ever, nuh-uh! not only do I think its unhealthy and not right - but I could never force myself to do something like that.

Peace and Good JuJu,

30 Day Fitspo Challenge - Day 23

How do you feel about the terms pro-ana/pro-mia? 
When I hear these terms, I am disgusted. The media has made such a spectacle about weight and it promotes extreme unhealthiness among women, particularly younger girls. The more I see these young girls refusing food, starving themselves to lose a few pounds, complaining about their "fat rolls" that don't exist - I feel terrible inside. I look at my cousins and how pressured they are by society to look and feel and be this size 0 view of "perfection". It terrifies me that my baby sister will get sucked into this tornado of sickness and try to meet the unrealistic expectations set forth by people of my generation. I know my own weight issues don't' help, but I do my best to be a great role model for my sister and remind her constantly that she is beautiful the way she is and that what is on TV isn't always "reality"!

Peace and Good JuJu,

30 Day Fitspo Challenge - Day 22

Did the media play a role in your wanting to lose weight?
One Word - NOPE!  The media is a joke! I'm smart enough to know that what I see on TV or in magazines is clever lighting and Photoshop. my own health and life ambitions are what made me want to lose weight.

30 Day Fitspo Challenge - Day 20

Favourite diet?

If we are talking about branded type of diet, I would go with Mediterranean diet. My doctor put me on it last year when I first got serious about weight loss - and it helped me lose 25lbs in 3 months. I have since slacked off on it and need to get back into those eating habits again - but I always felt full even after small snacks and the food was delicious. I'm allergic to fish (a big part of the diet) but I was able to substitute chicken for the Fish meals and still get great tasting food!
