“Because I’ve lost so much weight it makes me wonder why other people can’t do...”
– I read that quote a few days ago on HungerStrike’s tumblr. She is amazing. I remember coming across her site a few weeks ago, seeing her and not following her, because I thought she was one of those people. Those people who weigh 120 (to start with) and are aiming for 100. Oh how wrong,...
I am a beached whale on my couch. Must migrate to...
As you can tell. Solid Monday night.

I didn't get drunk this weekend, I got awesome.
True story.
I’m currently watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s, my food for tomorrow is prepared in the fridge, my room is tidy, laundry is done, nails are newly painted and my running clothes are packed for tomorrow’s run.
Happy Sunday night. I’m excited for a healthy week, new start, and most importantly a short week!
“I think had you not been overweight in highschool you would have come home...”
– Quote of the day: My mom.
I laughed out loud at this. Apparently my mom thinks I would have been a sloot back-in-the-day, had I not been tubby. I suppose that’s looking at the glass half full in regards to being fat… Phew, close call on being a teen mom. Carbs finally came in handy!
My Morning...
Has involved me calling people to interview them for my ASSISTANT POSITION. I’ve never been on this side of the phone call before and have concluded I’m the worst person to do this - as I’m way too casual and nice. I don’t mean to lead people on, but think I do…
Questions for my future (awesome) assistant include, but are not limited to:
The disassembled parts of...
i weighed 165 this morning. make no mistake, this does not define me
work has been furiously busy this week, hence the lack of random thoughts
coming soon, gun show
gym tonight at 5:30. gonna pump some iron. gonna shed some lard
i’m seeing alice in de wonderland tonight. in 3D. with mind altering substances. mind will be blown.
domincan trip is in 28 days. domican body is being...
Not-So Interesting fact of the day: I have become obsessed with my split ends. Obsessed. They’re bad. Really bad.
My hair cut on Thursday can’t come soon enough.
I write what I feel in a moment of time; my fingers hit the keyboard and I’m hardly thinking, just writing. I tend to write about my feelings in that moment, my thoughts on myself, my thoughts about the decisions I’ve made, the regret I have for the fat on my stomach, and for saying one thing and doing another. And then I walk away.
I walk away from that post. Walk away from those...

At the end of the day, when you’re lying in bed, there’s nobody to blame but yourself. You lived your day. You made your decisions. You lived your life.
Nobody to blame, but you. Nobody to blame, but me.
I made those decisions, one by one, I made them. I put the chocolate in my mouth. I justified it with excuses. I did it. At the end of the day there’s nobody to blame but...
glamourandgrace-deactivated2011 asked: I would just like to add to the one-twenty-five love-fest because it is well-deserving! Your blog is so perfectly charming! I love your humor and tone of writing and I love the genuine honesty that is evident in each post. Please never stop blogging - your brighten my dash! And if you ever do stop blogging, would you be so kind as to write a personal newsletter and send it to my e-mail each day?...
meghannarts asked: So just sayin'.... I LOVE your blog and I love the voice in your writing. You're fabulous!
P.S.- I've lost 16 lbs. since I started following you. :) You remind me to keep going when I want to stay curled up in bed.

I dragged my ass out of bed this morning at 9am and tied up my running shoes against my body’s will and went for a pretty solid 7k (4.3mile) run. It was FREEZING, but I pushed myself which was pretty awesome.
I took a steamy hot shower and then curled my hair making it look all messy-natural (but it actually took FOREVER to do)
I then met my good friend who I hadn’t seen in forever...
Anonymous asked: E...I felt like I had to comment after reading since this fall. When I first started following you I had just began my running journey and then completed my first 5k in Nov. There were definitely times that I wanted to stop, but I was like if E can run a half marathon I can run 3 freakin miles. Well guess what, I just signed up for the Chicago Marathon so I WILL see you there and we WILL be rockin...
kimbahanne-deactivated20100514 asked: This is not really a question, just a little insight. Sometimes you may jump on the scale and see a pound gained, in most cases if you are sticking to plan, going to the gym and eating right just ignore it, just remember we gain muscle! And muscle weighs a hell lot more then fat, I remember my weight loss was up and down and I couldn't work it out but after speaking to my trainer and...
Anonymous asked: Heya, firstly love the blog. Secondly, I'm taking the weight-loss goals pretty seriously at the moment too. But, I have a question! Do you find it harder to lose weight in the cold months too? I lost 65 pounds June-August, but I've only lost 10 since.
Good morning Saturday!
And what a lovely morning it is to cross off a 7k run, yes? Yes. Excellent.
Update: DONE!!! Boom!
94monkeys asked: You put a lot out there, more than a lot of us fitblrs do. What can we your loyal followers do to help you? It seems only fair!
Anonymous asked: I've been following you for quite some time. I was worried that taking the scale away might allow you to veer off course. I know that it would make me do the same.. not having that accountability and all.
So I'm curious. This is a weight loss blog.. and we are all watching your (and sharing the same) struggles and well, I don't think I'm the only one who wants...

wildcraw asked: Not a question, but Good Luck On Your One Pound Journey!!!!! You Can Do It!!
Hello, do you know me? If you don’t, you should. I’m a pound of fat, And I’m the HAPPIEST pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why? It’s because no one ever wants to lose me; I’m ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound!
Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one. So I just stick around and happily keep you...

Green Beer or The Gym (da-da-dah dumm) Gain Calories or Lose Calories (da-da-dah dumm)
I think the choice is clear. I’m making the right decision. No regrets. Did you guess it? BEER! I’m only going to live through about 89 St. Patrick’s Day’s in my life, gotta make each one count.
Have a wonderful night tumblr.
Love E
Ps. 89 because that way I’ll still have...

My thought process is shifting.
It’s weird.
And odd.
And unexpected.
Yesterday I had my first official, “I really don’t care what you think about me,” moment and here’s the catch; I truly meant it. Whoa.
It was pretty, freaking awesome. **Insert Internet High Five Here**
Now excuse me while I River Dance out of work to meet a...

I had a moment last night/right now, a moment where I realized just how superficial my life is. The realization that the top thing in my life, the thing that consumes my brain the majority of each, and every day is quite possibly the most shallow thing on this earth; what do I look like? Do I look fat? What will people think of me?
I’ve even created a blog about it, a blog to showcase my...
theblergblog asked: Hey E!
Relatively new follower here. My question is, how did you get the courage to tell your story? Specifically, I am very impressed by all the ladies and gents on Tumblr who are completely free about sharing their numbers (i.e. weights, weight losses). I wish I could do the same, but to me, it's embarrassing to share that kind of info, since I have IRL friends that follow me...

One of the greatest things about life is you can always start over.
Always. You can always take a new moment, and with it start a new chapter in your life. It doesn’t matter how badly you’ve messed up with food, drinking, sex, drugs, boys, emotions, family, life… you can always start fresh.
I messed up this weekend. I’m starting new tomorrow. I’m starting new...
Ahh crap.
Scrap that last post, apparently boys and booze are what the sirens were to Odysseus, to me.
Except to ensure he wasn’t lured in by the Siren’s voices, Odysseus had his men bound him tightly to the mast of the ship, NO BODY IS HERE TO TIE ME TO MY COUCH. OMIGOD…. must re-frame from cute boys and alcoholic beverages.
but
it’s
so, so
hard…
