Sorry!
Busy again! I’ll update you all tomorrow.

Here’s a picture of my belly today:
This is a picture of a 42-year old person. Today, I weigh 135 lbs. The brand-new undies I am wearing are size Small. (They’re Ex Officio brand from REI. Silky wicking fabric. So nice!) I wear a size 6 in pants now….
I LOVE THIS PERSON.
Lunch! My mother bought me some Healthy Choice Steamers, because the end of the school year is going to be very busy, and I’ll need a few quick meals. I tested the Spicy General Tso’s Chicken meal. It was quite delicious.
Breakfast! I’m getting back on track. I just need to remember how amazing eating healthy foods makes me feel!
Well okay, Obese/heavily overweight people don’t annoy me as much, because often it’s not their fault. They might have glandular problems, diabetes or whatever. and I get that when you get to a certain weight it’s a LOT harder to lose.
It’s when people are like size 12-18. Like, why don’t you…
All right. Normally, I don’t address these posts, because I know the people that make them are simply ignorant and have absolutely no confidence in themselves. But this one made me angry.
Firstly, not everyone size 12 to 18 is unhealthy. When I was still a size 12, and even when I was bigger, I was perfectly healthy. I ate healthily, and I was active. But more importantly than that, I was happy and comfortable in my body, and that is an all-important and often overlooked part of being healthy.
Secondly, saying you are repulsed by any body and/or lifestyle is completely unacceptable. Everyone has the right to be happy as they are, without being judged by others.
I am not “trolling”, I am not trying to cause a stir, and I am not trying to be mean in any way. I am simply and honestly upset by the way some people choose to shame others. Negativity like this should not be allowed.

I am out of proper biking shape.
In my defense, I’ve never really beeninproper biking shape, and I suppose I did better on my 40-ish minute bike ride today than I would have done at 236 pounds. Still, I would like to be able to bike up a simple hill without huffing and puffing all the way. That’s a new goal.
But I went outside in the beautiful sunshine and biked for a while. While I was biking, I ended up picking up some trash that had blown out of my neighbors’ trash bins. I wanted to write a letter of a semi-scolding nature and tape it to their mailbox, but I resisted. My dad said sometimes just writing the letter, and not posting it, will make a person feel better. So here it is:
Dear Neighbor,
As I was biking earlier, I noticed quite a bit of trash blowing down the street. The origin was your trash bins, which were either not secured, or had blown open at some point. I picked up what trash I could.
In the future, please secure your trash and recycling in individual trash bags before placing them in their respective bins.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Allie and the Environment
Well, I do feel a little bit better now.
I believe I’ll have some Greek yogurt with blueberries, and start cramming for my AP Government and Politics Exam!
