    I Just Want To Be Skinny

    Let me live.

    2.8.17

    I only live that “fit life” to be skinny. People act like you should only slave in the gym and eat rabbit food for your health. Fuck that noise. I’m 23 and don’t see myself dying of cardiac arrest anytime soon, so trust, I am not running for my heart’s health. Seriously though, when I tell people I have a goal weight of 130lb, I get lectured. What’s the problem with wanting to be skinny? The same people who say being skinny isn’t everything, are the ones who believe money can’t buy happiness. Money can buy designer clothes and vodka, which is happiness to me. I have to workout just to supplement my alcoholic tendencies, so trying to lose weight on top of that is hard af. I have some pretty legit reasons for wanting to lose weight.

    -I want to get rid of that backfat by my armpits that is super noticeable when I wear a bra, which is always.

    -I want to have a thigh gap. (In my dreams)

    -I want to wear jeans, and have none of my zipper show.

    -I want my cheekbones to show up and show out.

    -I want to get rid of my love handles that make my but look lumpy on top.

    -I want to wear a crop top without highwaisted pants, and be able to eat that day.

    This is why I’m drinking green juices and going to cycling. I don’t enjoy not eating burgers or cheese fries. Also, having to shower everyday is probably the worst part. I go like 2 or 3 days without showering sometimes because I sit at a desk all day and wear deodorant. I also have stopped drinking alcohol during the week, which makes me wonder how I still have a job. Now I just do yoga when I get a free Classpass, and pretend my legs shaking in warrior one is relaxing. Although, I do appreciate the side effects of trying to be skinny, like the energy and not getting winded going up stairs. I get that some girls get obsessed about being thin and go about it the wrong way, but if I live a healthy lifestyle who cares why. Let me live.
