Yesterday evening I found myself face deep in an explosive chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. And NO I did not share! According to my friend this was not Big Girl Thin behavior! No the behavior I was exhibiting was extreme cheating! There are many theories out there in regards to cheating but my theory is quite simple.
The three components to Big Girl Thin cheating. The craving, the cheat and the consequences.
The craving.
Everyone has to live a little right? RIGHT! I'm not on a diet so there are MANY rules to be broken. With that said if there is a food that I am obsessing and fixated over guess what? I EAT it dam it! Now look that does not mean every week I extreme cheat. Notice I use the word EXTREME. It is an extreme situation and not to be taken lightly!
The cheat.
When I go in for an extreme cheat I control the entire situation. I feel no guilt. I feel dam GOOD about what I am doing, even if I might be a little sick afterwards! When I go in for a cheat I make sure it is well worth it. What's the point of cheating if it's going to make you feel bad?! Oh and don't let anyone you're with during an extreme cheat make you feel bad either. Back off b*tch let me enjoy my 3000 calorie lava cake in peace! LOL! By the way my friend I was with during my extreme cheat last night joined in on the fun and ordered herself a decadent carrot cake! So go BIG or go home!
The consequences.
I do not live in denial about what I have just done. I know there are consequences to this extreme behavior. Consequences like if I don't get my a** to the gym the scale is going to take a nose dive in the wrong direction! I have to hit my exercise program hard like a ROCKSTAR! There ain't no shame in this girls game!
So my advice to you is next time you find yourself in an extreme situation stay in control and know exactly what you're getting yourself into. Ask yourself is it really worth it?

the true story & advice from a big girl gone thin
The Story
One evening while out at bar a man who was walking by me grabbed my arm and said . . . (drum roll please ) "YOU'RE PRETTY HOT FOR A BIG GIRL." I was so taken back by his statement that I actually had no reaction at all, just total and complete numbness. That was the exact moment I knew I had to do something about my 55 pound weight gain that had gradually taken place over the course of 3 years. (5'3, 175 lbs.)
I had just celebrated my 30th birthday and what in the HELL had happened to my body?! Okay I'll tell you what happened . . . fast food, take out, late night gas station food runs, binge drinking etc. etc. etc. That's what the hell happened! Junk in the trunk, oh yes there was lots! So what did I do? Well obviously I ran out to the nearest book store and bought several 'road to no where' books as I like to call them. You know the ones in the diet/weightloss section and failed miserably in my mission. So I said to myself diets are for LOSERS and I love to WIN so I moved onto plan B! I was not going to diet, all I was going to do was eat healthy. Yes that's it, plain and simple! And so my journey began, I read books based on nutrition, got motivated by the contestants on the Biggest Loser, listened to EVERYTHING Dr. OZ had to say and got my a** moving!
Three years later the weight is still off, I feel better and look better than I ever have in my ENTIRE life! I actually look ten years younger, YES I'm serious! I would like to take a moment to thank that drunk a**hole in the bar and to ALL the men that wouldn't date me when I was a BIG girl I say LOOK AT ME NOW . . . WINK WINK ;)
