I couldn’t help but play with the title of this post…hehe. Obviously this will be another one of those about my vegetarian transition. It’s funny, I must say, because I never really expected myself to do this. In fact, not too long ago, I would laugh about vegetarianism and what not. It’s not that I [...]

It’s been a little over three weeks since I have started my journey towards becoming a vegetarian. I am quite pleased and a little bit surprised that it hasn’t been as hard as I had imagined it to be In fact, the transition has been quite smooth. Except for those four meals since I started [...]

The past weekend gave me a chance to do a little bit of  a detox. Unintentionally, I might say, but a detox nonetheless. I have never really planned on going vegetarian or doing the whole raw food thing or even changing what I eat drastically (well, except for the amount of it!) but I suddenly [...]

Just recently I got to thinking, what if I could do my college life all over again? Would I be in a better off place than I am now? Would I be facing the same struggles or totally different ones? While I do not regret my choices (at least for the most part), sometimes I [...]

I have always maintained that I’m an emotional eater. For a while, I was able to keep that at bay, but since mid-September, it has been a struggle. Luckily my love for yoga has allowed the weight management to be somewhat stable, but still, with this emo eater in me, it’s gotten to be such [...]

Over a year ago I started on what I deemed “Project Prettify Me”. The goal of the project: to stop looking all frumpy and ugly. It was not just the weight issue that I had to contend with, but really more of not caring for myself too much and so I let myself go and [...]

Once more I find myself trying to get back on track from my little slip. I’m not there yet, but slowly I’m inching my way back. Can’t help but wish I was a superhero and all I’d need to do is dig into my little leather briefcase, pull out my costume and viola, I could [...]

That’s all I can say I guess. This past month, well, three for that matter, has been a roller coaster ride. I’ve had really, really bad days filled with emo eating and nothingness, but there were other days that were quite good and I was able to keep those feelings at bay. I guess one [...]

This weekend I vegged in front of the television (or my computer, should I say hehe) watching the 16th Cycle of America’s Next Top Model and in one of the episodes, Tyra did a teach about making the right choices about food. She talked about “cheaties”, which is really a way to make cheat days [...]
