Marissa on a Diet.

I have recently come to be known as "the girl that will eat whatever you don't eat". Really not as fun as it seems. But I do eat kind of a lot; Its a problem.

This could be me.

Sooooooooo I am putting myself on a DIET!
Yes that's right, a diet.


Not just any old diet, but calorie restriction. This basically means that I starve myself eat less to lose weight. Extra healthy.
No seriously, there are some pretty good health benefits to calorie restriction (CR):

• You live longer
• You have a better memory (which I need)
• You lose weight 
• You get along with people better (I wish)
• You put your strength in will to the test!

ANDDDDD supposedly CR is extra easy to maintain. Its basically eating half of whatever I eat now, minus candy and junk food - ad absurdum.

I did my homework on this one I promise.

Calorie Restriciton Calculator - Calculates how many calories I am supposed to be eating every day from now on. According to this site, my CR twin weighs 127 lbs. She's a little on the thin side. Hopefully I will become her.

In addition to dieting, I will continue to work out in the mornings, only longer and more intense!(in theory)

Wish me luck!
