My name is Eden, and I'm looking for the healthier me. I'm not attempting to lose weight fast or go on some fancy diet; no calorie counting or carb watching for me! I just want to get healthy, both mentally and physically. I'm hoping I can achieve both of these things with healthy eating and exercise.

This blog is my record of my journey to healthiness. It will just be full of my progress in my goal to become healthier, as well as things that inspire me to keep healthy. Expect to see lots of food! Good, wholesome, healthy food.

I have a Code of Following, that dictates who I will and will not follow. Yes, this means I don't automatically follow back! I will check out your blog and if I feel it will be a delightful addition to my dashboard, then I will follow you.

Eden: A Butler’s Tale, by Gertrude Perkins

astro-panda:

Before we begin: This post is probably the most personal and honest thing I will ever write. If you are anti-abortion, I really think you should do everyone a favour and skip past this post. Some of the things in this post may seriously offend you. If that is the case, I ask you to do the mature thing: to not abuse me for my choices, and to simply unfollow me.

Abusing me will add nothing to your life; it will not make you a happier or better person. If you find my choices offensive then simply click “unfollow” and you’ll never have to think about me again. If you’re thinking about sending abusive or hateful messages about this, just know that you will receive absolutely no response from me whatsoever. I will not be baited into an argument about my life and my choices, because in the end it is my life and I’m the one who has to live it. So all that matters is that the choices I make are acceptable to me.

Right. Now that’s all out of the way, continue on if you feel like reading a novella about my life. (I’m not exaggerating; I split this bad boy into two chapters). I know that this is a lot of very personal information to be sharing in such a ridiculously open way, but I think getting this all out is the first step to healing.

So, if anyone is interested, this is why I haven’t been around lately. As it says above, don’t read this if you’re against abortion, and don’t abuse me for my choices if you don’t agree with them. It’s going to take me a few weeks to be mentally ready to get back into all of this, but I’ll get there :)

GPOY: Everyone Looks Better Through Instagram Filters edition. I felt like getting all cute tonight! So I stole my sisters clothing and makeup because I don’t own nice things. I feel super lovely which doesn’t happen often (:

I don’t post pictures of myself very often on here, because I usually hate the way I look. But I feel really nice today, so here is my face!

I’m so sick of feeling sick!

I’m just constantly nauseated, it’s awful! I wake up feeling like I’m going to vomit, but I force myself to eat and that makes me feel a little better, but when mid-morning hunger sets in I once again feel like I’m going to throw up! Hunger is the worst feeling ever at the moment. Usually it’s just a bit painful but now it makes me feel like I’m going to chunder everywhere.

I don’t know how to stop feeling sick! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m eating pretty regularly and I’m eating quite well. I just feel constantly ill! I want to get on the treadmill but I think that would actually make me throw up.

Nausea is the worst feeling.

NOT ON REX MANNING DAY!: I get so mad when people add salt to food.

joyfulpantsofbuttlol:

Especially when it’s food that I have made for them. Isn’t my food good enough for you?

The other “tradition” that angers me fiercely is the adding of salt to sweet milk/flour mixtures, and boiling water. Isn’t there enough salt in your diet already? Do you really crave salt so much that you’re…

I love salt so much and I can’t help it! Everything tastes better with salt! D:

I ate a tuna melt! D:

I was SO hungry and we really had nothing in the house at all, and I know I could have had the tuna sandwich without the cheese but you don’t even know how good tuna melts are!

That was delicious but I feel rather guilty because it was about 500 calories which is a lot for a sandwich but golly gee it was delicious.

I did my work out!

Happy happy happy! I probably had more juice than I should today. Two glasses and about 100 calories per glass. I should have just had one glass. It was such nice juice though! Apple mango om nom noms. But it was a swell day other than that. Now bed time because I have to be up in five hours!

“I don’t want to look like everyone else. I don’t have perfect teeth; I’m not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she doesn’t want to change anything.”

She is just the loveliest thing.

Oops!

I napped instead of working out!! Noooooo! Curse my ridiculous love for sleep!

I will work out tonight. I WILL. I’ll make a quick and easy dinner for everyone and spend my spare time working my asssssss off!

This must happen.

Amy running: Motivation Monday

amyrunning:

Ok folks, today’s Motivation Monday post is pretty personal, so buckle up.

I’ve seen a lot of posts about depression lately. So many of us (myself included) have a history of mental illness in varying degrees. It makes me wonder if there is a link between mental health and weight.

One of the…

This is exactly what I needed to read today.
