Fat Chick Livin’ SXinney

1. Pizza is not my friend. I had two slices the other night and it made me sick. Note to self: eat something else.
2. Writing down what I eat keeps me eating better. Maybe it’s accountability, maybe it’s just information, but when I record what I eat every day, it gives me a better picture of how I’m doing. As a fat person, I have an unrealistic concept of what I eat every day.
3. The LivFit Liv SXinney LifeStyle is how French women eat. And they don’t get fat. I’m reading “French Women Don’t Get Fat” by Mireille Guiliano. Her suggestions of how to eat like the French are so similar to the LifeStyle. Eat what you like. Eat less. Don’t deprive yourself. Eat consciously. Drink, drink, drink (SXinney) water. If you are interested in some great French recipes, I recommend her book.
4. When I’ve had a hard day I crave sweets. Now there’s a revelation! So what do I do? Eat some cRave! or have a little teensy bit of something sweet. However, I am so grateful I’m becoming more conscious about how my emotions are tied to my relationship with food.
5. It is difficult for me to grasp the concept of “moderation”. Whether it is healthy or unhealthy, I can’t seem do grasp “equilibrium.” For example, it would be fine for me to go the gym 4-5 days a week, but I feel guilty if I don’t go 6. It would be fine for me to eat 1/2 of a brownie, but I eat 7. I’m nuts.
6. Obama’s people didn’t call and ask me to be VP. I’m a little bummed.
7. I love salad.  People tell me my salad is the best.  My secret?  The dressing.  Olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper. That’s it!  I love to throw toasted pine nuts, a little crumbled blue cheese, and avocados to my organic greens, and I’m telling you.. YUMMA.
8. Target has the best non-fat yogurt.  The Archer Farms brand is only 80 calories!
9. Getting my protein in every day is hard for me.  I’m not thrilled with meat.  I’ve never been a big meat-eater, but I know protein is very important.  That’s why I do a protein shake in the morning, and try to get at least one other protein like chicken or fish in with my salads.
10. I’m addicted to my SXinney water!  Literally, I cannot go an hour without it.  I know I”m not the only one, too.  It is the BEST.
