It matters not if you set or rise, I will celebrate your light. Wash me in the color you throw off so casually, as if it is no bother at all to create something so stunning. I would gladly stand in the shadows you create, just to be near.

- Expectation: Wake up one day, weigh yourself, and feel extremely happy, accomplished, and satisfied because you hit your "UGW"!
- Reality: Wake up, weigh yourself, see that you are now ten pounds less than your original "UGW" and cry because you still see yourself as fat.
- Expectation: You will be beautiful, thin, and look like a model naturally.
- Reality: You might be thin, your hair will fall out by the handful, your skin will be dry, and your nails will be chipping.
- Expectation: You will feel strong and in control when you walk past the kitchen and say "no" to food and "yes" to "Ana".
- Reality: You will sit in front of a miniscule amount of food, on the brink of passing out for hours and hours debating whether or not to eat it. Crying, feeling weak, and in fact very out control.
- Expectation: All the boys will want you and you will be the skinny friend.
- Reality: You will lock yourself in your house and ostracize yourself from society. You will have no friends to be skinny in comparison to and you won't care if the boys want you or not.
- Expectation: You will be perfect.
- Reality: You will be far from perfect. You will become a number: your weight, your BMI, number of servings, grams of this, ounces of that, number of cups, amount of tablespoons and teaspoons, calories, hours until next allowed "meal", inches, centimeters, pounds, kilos, dress size, pant size. You will be obsessed with the unattainable: happiness and satisfaction.

![befit-nobullshit:
Apple pie wrap
Is there anything that screams autumn better than Apple pie? I think not. And thus I decided to do a simple, healthy and low cal alternative, for those of us who are trying to loose weight.
Ingredients
5 tortilha (whole wheat if possible) [50 kcals]
400g of apple (3/4 depending on size) [200 kcals]
2 tbsp sugar (or other sweetener) [120 kcals]
1 tbsp cinnamon [20 kcals]
1 1/2 cup of water
How-to
Makes 5 servings
First, peel the apples and slice them into small pieces, around the size of an almond.
Put the sliced apples, sugar and cinnamon in a pan. Add 1 1/2 cup of water.
Let them boil, while stirring, until they become a transparent-y color. Then give them a smash with a fork. If you prefer, you can leave the pieces whole, I just like it less chunky.
Let the apple spread cool.
Or not.
Take the tortilla and give it a zap in the microwave, then spread the apple jam on top, wrapping it up.
If you’d like, you can give it a toast in a dry pan or in the oven. I was too hungry to wait :P
Each wrap is around 120 kcals
P.s photo not mine. I ate my wrap as soon as it was ready, so…](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_manq196I9p1rvq5q5o1_500.jpg)
