You think you're fat? Well, yes you ARE!!!.

Imma' tell you something if you think you're fat then you probably are in fact fat but f*cking own it. I mean who the hell said that it's a bad thing? Because unless it's seriously affecting your health, it isn't really bad. You think you're too skinny or in other words flat with nothing feminine about you? well, again you probably are but then again it's fine so f*cking own it. And again unless it's seriously harming your health, it's fine. We grow up with this pressure to look a certain way because otherwise we're not beautiful but really we should just stop that and stand in front of the mirror and look at ourselves, really look at ourselves, with our  own eyes and not with our spouse's, our parents' or society's eyes just our eyes. Only then can we decide if we want to change something in the way we look or not. Because 99% of the time we don't want to change for ourselves but for the people around us be it your bo

Fearless.

I grew up in a messed up family with parents who were too busy working and cheating on each other to take care of their own daughter. I was twelve when I caught my father cheating on my mother for the first time only to catch my mother on the couch with a man who wasn't my father a week later and while they both knew I caught them none of them had enough courage to talk about it. And of course over the years both my father and mother had many more affairs that I lost count but what is ironic to me is that even though each of them was aware of the other's infidelity, they never ended things for reasons still unknown to me till this day. And as a result of growing up in this environment, love was doomed to me. I spent so long convincing myself that there was no point in love because it's stupid and everyone cheats anyway but deep down I always knew that I was just scared of being like my parents since the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and all that. So,

Bad reputation.

I'm Ashley Anderson and if you were to say my name in Lakewood High, at least a hundred people would tell you that I date a new guy every week, that I had an abortion at least three times before and a million other stories about my supposed 'whoreness' but what they wouldn't tell you is that none of these stories is actually true because even though almost everyone knew I wasn't this whore they were making me to be, they liked to believe that I was seeing as it made them feel better about themselves which is pathetic if you ask me. Anyway, One day while I was by my locker, the new guy with the blond hair walked by with one of the basketball guys. The guy's eyes had lingered on me for a while before the basketball guy started whispering in his ear, probably telling him all the stupid rumors they made up about me. And Although, I was sure that the new guy with the blond hair had heard a lot of terrible things about me, he came to my table at lunch but

My Eating Disorder Story.

Image
I think I can confidently say that most of the female population if not all in the world have suffered from an eating disorder at one point in their life even if it didn't escalate much to become 'serious' or 'dangerous'. I've gone through an eating disorder and I know someone in my family that did too. And It's all because women are always either too fat or too skinny according to the beauty standards we see on the T.V., in magazines or on the internet Which are extremely and utterly unrealistic might I add. So, in this blog post I decided to talk about my eating disorder story. I can't really say that I was anorexic because I wasn't but I was definitely on the way to be. It started with me going to the gym and eating healthy because I really wanted to get a flat belly so, after a while of following the instructor's diet advice and not losing any weight I decided to take matters into my own hands and stop eating carbs, I don't really rememb

Chicken Burgers!!

Hey, I know I haven't been around in a while but I was in Turkey but I'll talk about that in another blog post anyhow today I have an amazing recipe that I've tried two days ago and I absolutely love it and it's the Chicken Burgers. I know that every single person probably heard of the 'healthy' turkey burgers or the 'unhealthy' beef burgers. Okay. First I wanna say that this is a load of bull. There's no such a thing as that, beef is not unhealthy and turkey is not healthy it's all about the way you cook them and yeah maybe turkey is healthier than beef but that doesn't mean that beef is unhealthy. With that being said, Here's the Chicken Burgers recipe I was talking about :) The Ingredients: ~2 seasoned chicken breasts. ~1 small bell pepper. ~1 small onion. ~Cilantro. (Adjust to taste.) ~Salt and pepper. (Adjust to taste.) Instructions: -Blend your ingredients together using a food processor till they reach a smooth c
