Apparently More is Less....scientific experiment successful so far.

So I have been keeping up with the calorie counting and trying to keep up consistent calorie intake throughout the day and so far.......it is working. I haven't had a binge session yet. I am taking in anywhere from 1600-2000 calories a day and should probably be taking in slightly more with as much as I work out right now. It's actually hard to find food worth consuming. I never thought that would happen.

I have also found that some of my favorite foods I thought were not "too bad" are actually quite disgusting and some are actually REALLY quite excellent. I am being adventurous and trying some new foods as well. Monday night we are going to have black bean burgers. I am actually really excited to try them. If they turn out well I will get you the recipe (with the nutrition fact, of course).

So I weighed in this morning. 146! Yeah. It's kind of nice to stand on the scale and put the big weight at 100 and move the small weight down instead of the big at 150 and have to move the small one up. We'll see how long it lasts but for now it's kind of fun.

There are a FEW downfalls, however, to this weight loss. It comes of my upper body at a faster rate than the lower. My "A-cup" bras are now getting loose one me. I believe I am working my way right into size AA (did you know AA is smaller than A?....Well it is.). And do you know how hard it is to find a size 38 AA bra? Nearly impossible if not impossible. Most of the time I have to buy extenders because I have such a huge rib cage (Rob, since the beginning of time, has teased with me that cannibals would have a feast on my ribs. What a loving husband, huh?).

Downfall #2
Because I continue to loose on top, my collarbones and neck are starting to look a little sickly. I must admit, in my twisted little brain, I kind of like it. Especially when I am weight lifting and looking in the mirror. The muscles flex and it make it look even smaller and skinnier. Disgusting, I know.
I do realize that it could get really ugly really fast. No one likes the anorexic look. I just wish my body would stop slimming up top and start working on "the hambutt" (buttocks and upper hamstring. You know, the whole overhang/crease thing). It really is my greatest ASSET....get it?

I guess I will just have to do more squats and more lunges and dead lifts and pelvic raises and ............ you get the idea.

I'm totally going for the whole defined collarbone/jawline look. There's a line between sexy and sickly, but I don't think you're there.

Nor are you gaunt...

I want sickly. I want my bones to protrude and my clothes to hang off me. I probably need counseling but I've been fat my whole life. I'm willing to trade obese (and then some!) for anorexic. Back when I prayed, I would BEG to be anorexic. Clearly it didn't work.
