This is my blog to inspire and motivate myself along my fitness & weight loss journey, the healthy way, without eating disorders, without starving or binging or hating my body. I hope to instill that my body (and every body) is a temple which should be treated respectfully, not punished with junk food and self-loathing. Hopefully it can do the same for anyone who comes across it. Feel free to ask me anything, comment, critique, console, chat or just say hi. I appreciate any & all support!Tumblr (3.0; @chooseybeee)http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3w99dpp631qbwpwlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/22889836861http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/22889836861Fri, 11 May 2012 23:33:07 -0700undressedskeleton: Guilt Free Dip! Dipping your veggies into ranch can seem very healthy but most...http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/17446076965http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/17446076965Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:19:28 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrufrsepv51r33tcfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/12165649504http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/12165649504Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:48:43 -0700celluliteexercisedietwaterhealthfitnessIt will be alright again.http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/10157959725http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/10157959725Mon, 12 Sep 2011 23:57:50 -0700breathenew startsit will all be ok<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqowldK3Oz1qgz6q0o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://diethoroscopes.tumblr.com/post/9560119785" class="tumblr_blog">diethoroscopes</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><3</p></blockquote>http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9578689575http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9578689575Mon, 29 Aug 2011 23:04:55 -0700scorpiosagittarius<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqe21n0rHb1r26t4ro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I’m a self-proclaimed Starbucks junkie.</p>http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9578557086http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9578557086Mon, 29 Aug 2011 22:59:09 -0700starbuckscaloriesweightlossdietthinthinspothinspirationgoalsminusdoubtsequalreality: ayeoo-its-rachellegee: THIS. everyone’s thighs jiggle, muscle...http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9578446207http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9578446207Mon, 29 Aug 2011 22:54:24 -0700miley cyrus<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqerjq6eIz1qj2ld8o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9516128562http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9516128562Sun, 28 Aug 2011 14:03:32 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpeegekNV61r0l9tko1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Yum!</p>http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9515864620http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9515864620Sun, 28 Aug 2011 13:57:20 -0700foodveggiesbroccolicarrotsThis is a very loaded question for me because I am motivated by so many things.

Boron, another ingredient in apples, also strengthens bones.</p> <p><strong>Asthma Help</strong><br/>One recent study shows that children with asthma who drank apple juice on a daily basis suffered from less wheezing than children who drank apple juice only once per month. Another study showed that children born to women who eat a lot of apples during pregnancy have lower rates of asthma than children whose mothers ate few apples.</p> <p><strong>Alzheimer’s Prevention</strong><br/>A study on mice at Cornell University found that the quercetin in apples may protect brain cells from the kind of free radical damage that may lead to Alzheimer’s disease.</p> <p><strong>Lower Cholesterol</strong><br/>The pectin in apples lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. People who eat two apples per day may lower their cholesterol by as much as 16 percent.</p> <p><strong>Lung Cancer Prevention</strong><br/>According to a study of 10,000 people, those who ate the most apples had a 50 percent lower risk of developing lung cancer. Researchers believe this is due to the high levels of the flavonoids quercetin and naringin in apples.</p> <p><strong>Breast Cancer Prevention</strong><br/>A Cornell University study found that rats who ate one apple per day reduced their risk of breast cancer by 17 percent. Rats fed three apples per day reduced their risk by 39 percent and those fed six apples per day reduced their risk by 44 percent.</p> <p><strong>Colon Cancer Prevention</strong><br/>One study found that rats fed an extract from apple skins had a 43 percent lower risk of colon cancer. Other research shows that the pectin in apples reduces the risk of colon cancer and helps maintain a healthy digestive tract.</p> <p><strong>Liver Cancer Prevention</strong><br/>Research found that rats fed an extract from apple skins had a 57 percent lower risk of liver cancer.</p> <p><strong>Diabetes Management</strong><br/>The pectin in apples supplies galacturonic acid to the body which lowers the body’s need for insulin and may help in the management of diabetes.</p> <p><strong>Weight Loss</strong><br/>A Brazilian study found that women who ate three apples or pears per day lost more weight while dieting than women who did not eat fruit while dieting.</p> </blockquote> <p>Thank God for all of this, because I eat a LOT of apples.</p> </blockquote> <h6><span>s</span>ame! ^</h6> </blockquote>http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9286995371http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9286995371Tue, 23 Aug 2011 01:36:16 -0700applehealthyfoodfruitnutrition<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lorhcy4H2C1qke924o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://believe-toachieve.tumblr.com/post/8018474991">believe-toachieve</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>submitted by (<a href="http://runfit-foodforfuel.tumblr.com/"></a><a href="http://runfit-foodforfuel.tumblr.com/"></a><a href="http://runfit-foodforfuel.tumblr.com/"><a href="http://runfit-foodforfuel.tumblr.com/">http://runfit-foodforfuel.tumblr.com/</a></a>)</p> </blockquote>http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9231428420http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9231428420Sun, 21 Aug 2011 17:55:52 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpruu6hSpu1qhae8co1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9220630519http://chooseybeee.tumblr.com/post/9220630519Sun, 21 Aug 2011 13:40:23 -0700audrinathinspofitsposkinnysexythe hills<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq1ty6tAWd1qkvbwso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://chicgarden.tumblr.com/post/9204175603" class="tumblr_blog">chicgarden</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a href="http://chanel-whore.tumblr.com/post/9202813709">chanel-whore</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://sunsetsandstarryskies.tumblr.com/post/9064824262">sunsetsandstarryskies</a>:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>(( Is it bad that I cried?</p> <p>I really needed this.</p> <p>Thank you, quiet place. ))</p> </blockquote> <p>Reblogging myself.</p> <p>I still have the tab open.</p> <p>I really needed this.
