Happy Day After Mileygate!

Yoooooo. Miley Cyrus. VMA's. That girl is legit cray cray. I didn't mind. Honestly? I kinda loved it. And the more hate I read all up in my facebook page from my 'friends' the more I love it. She got exactly what she wanted. Good for her. Y'all are slut shaming. It wasn't that bad. I too wish she had danced instead of humping a foam finger but it's nothing scandalous. I'm more surprised at the backlash. I don't know why, but I found the whole thing...

Rolling with the Punches

I name my blogs like most of my songs, just random words that may or may not have anything to do with the paragraphs that end up below. It's funner that way. Is funner a word yet? It should be. If for no other reason than so that my dumb doesn't show when I attempt to use it in a conversation. I guess I could google it. Who has time for that? I should start by saying that I am listening to Sara Bareilles album "The Blessed Unrest" on repeat in the...

Hello my name is Tessa and I'm a compulsive overeater...

Hey hey pretty people! Long time, no blog. I can be really lame sometimes. I think I've explained this before. I get really into something and then kaplat. Lost it. Kind of explains my history of dieting, and in turn my MIAness in regards to this blog.  There is a long story to explain this and I will be posting it soon. The title should give some of it away. I look forward to sharing, it's just going on midnight and I don't feel up to it tonight....

Motivate Me Failed at Motivating Me

Wassup hot stuff? That is so rude of me! For reals, don't be disappointed. I have pondered many times how it is that I have no followers, but I get it. I wouldn't follow me either! There will come a day when I will nail this shit down! Maybe 2013 is not my year? That would be bullshit. It is already my year in so many ways. It is June! June 18th to be precise! That means this year, nearly 5 months ago I accomplished at least one thing that I...

Sometimes I Just Can't

What a rainy gross gloomy Friday. There are one thousand things I should be doing at this moment (okay, 4) yet I don't want to do any of them. Do you ever just completely lose all motivation? You want to do those dishes, you know you really need to do them but you just can't? You want to hop on that treadmill, but nothing will motivate this into happening? All I can think when this happens is the Good Charlotte song "The Motivation Proclamation" I need to play this song on repeat! No, not to torture myself ya jerks, but because maybe it'll trick...

Heel Spur = Pain

Hello, Captain obvious here. Here's the deal yo, for the last month or so I've had some pretty intense feet pain. I recently went to my doctor about it because the pain was consistent and didn't seem to improve. When I saw the doc she pretty much right off the bat said it was plantar faciitis, she said she herself had experienced it before and sent me to see a podiatrist. It is painful, but only after exercise- so easy fix! Just don't exercise! My...

What? It's only been 20 days...

I have nailed failure. For sure. Did you miss me? I will never gain a following pulling a disappearing act like that and I apologize. I just can't write with no inspiration. This month has really sucked overall for inspiration!  I did feel a spark of inspiration tonight though from a post on Facebook. I am friends with this guy who is also a personal trainer and he had shared a picture & story of one of his clients and her story. It seems...

Beyonce Sells Pepsi? Doubtful.

I saw a commercial tonight with Beyonce selling Pepsi and I have to say, it's pretty hard to believe that Beyonce would drink that stuff. You don't get a Beyonce body or booty by drinking pop! It's about as believable as any of those pop stars trying to sell McDonalds. Riiiight. Working on my writers block. Hope to be back soon friends...

Weight Watchers

I have joined Weight Watchers online. I have been on weight watchers before, about 2 years ago and went to the meetings and everything! I'm now doing online so we'll see how that goes. I've only been doing it for about 4 days and apparently I forgot everything about it so re-learning the plan has been a hassle. I decided to re-join after I realized I had gained exactly 1 pound more than when I had started this attempt. I have officially 8 weeks to...

Another Monday

Fat Amy says F*ck you snow! It's spring! It's Monday again and wow, another shitty one. I haven't posted but mostly because I don't have anything to say lately. I've been searching for some inspiration and some motivation and haven't found it yet. I think this snow is bringing me down. Anywho, I did get some more walking in because I don't plan on running the 5K but I do need to at LEAST be able to walk the damn thing! So I went back to the Metro...

Monday is a Biiiitch

Assbag. HAH. Monday is the worst day ever. On the bright side, I wouldn't enjoy Fridays if it wasn't for that bitch Monday. Lay off the caffeine pills you speed freak! This weekend I took my little pupperface Sophie to some parks and enjoyed some fresh air! We had a semi-decent walk. She is not a very good walking partner. She is what you would call reactive. Well you would probably call her a pain in the ass, but our puppy trainers previously...

Happy Tuesday

I found that little nugget on the internet and just had to share. The Biebs sucks.  ...

Body Love

So this is pretty much the best thing ever. Watch it. Have tissues. Love your body the way your mother loved your baby feet. This is by Mary Lambert. She has an EP on Itunes and I highly recommend it! Her singing voice is beautiful and her songwriting is amazing. A few parting inspiring pictures :) ...

My Mom & Music

I love music. Most music, I would say all music but that's not true. I hate metal. It gives me a massive headache. In addition to the fact that I live for the story within lyrics and I never have a clue what they are saying in metal, it's just sounds like a bunch of growls to me. "Ballin" I grew up listening to all kinds of music, all the time. I remember my mom would play the radio when making dinner, when cleaning up after dinner, when we...

My Dog is a Murderer.

This sweet face: Sweet Sophie Just 8 months old and already a killer. It happened so fast! I let her outside to do her business and knew something was up. When I called her to come back inside she didn't come, even for her panic word. We trained her with a panic word so when we say "Quick" she comes no matter what because she was trained on baby food and thinks she will be treated with the best thing ever. When she didn't come I figured she had...

Energizer Bunny I Am Not.

Energized! So Alive! This girl represents what I am not. Hyper & bouncy. I have been hyper at least once in my life, but I don't think anybody has ever used the term 'bouncy' to describe Tessa. Not that I'm complaining, that is a weird term to use to describe somebody, am I right? I would like to be more energetic though, that I could use more of. I swear food is directly linked to my energy. I eat like shit therefore I am shit. Wait, I eat...

Still Here

Happy bear says Hi Human! Hi! I am still here, just ashamed of my lack of progress. I must hide my face from my loyal followers and cry, alone. I am bathing in my tears. So salty, it stings!! Okay I'm done being dramatic. My last weigh in was nothing to write home about, I gained 3 lbs.  still an overall net loss of 3, but get with it T bomb. My work schedule has changed from 9 am to 8 am so now it is even harder for me to get my ass out...

Few of my Danger Foods

Pretzel rods. I consider these a 'healthy' snack. Pretzels aren't awful, but by no means are they healthy. 37 calories per rod. Especially when you chow down 5 of them in one sitting. That is only possible if I dip them in laughing cow 'light' (of course!) swiss cheese wedges.  Laughing cows 35 calories wedges, you complete me. Two at a time though? With 5 pretzel rods? You complete my thighs, my ass, my bat wings (see picture to the left,...

Drumroll please...

I had my first weigh in yesterday and it wasn't officially a whole week since I first weighed myself but I am down 6 lbs! Now remember, when you carry as much excess as I do, it tends to fall off a lot faster at first. I was pretty excited for that! I also measured myself and those numbers remained the same.  I lost an inch on my neck apparently and half an inch on an arm. I can't remember where I put the tape around myself to get an accurate...
