ABOUT

I'm Criss: a 26-year-old geek from Louisiana. Two and a half years ago, I began my health and fitness journey. I've had my ups and downs, but I've managed to lose 60+ pounds and maintain a healthy lifestyle for two years. My goals are to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle, and to continue getting leaner and fitter through heavy weightlifting.

I am pro-body-love, feminist, outspoken, and very against typical "fitspo" and body-bashing. You will not see me post anything that puts down my body or your body in order to motivate. I don't believe in any sort of negative or guilt-inducing posts! Love yourself today or you won't ever be able to love yourself, even if you lose weight. It's the only body you have.

Note: I do not have a personal blog, so I will not post only fitness and weight loss updates/pictures. I will post things I enjoy and things about my life. If cute animals, sarcasm, and geeky things bother you, well... there are many more tumblrs in the sea for you. :)

Ugh, why do I always have to bite with the trolls? Arguing on a WoW forum, no less. Stop it, Criss.
(I’m the first and third comments; the original comment was the poster going on and on about how this guy was probably extremely fat and unhealthy in real because he had a candy bar to eat).

This is going to sound weird and be really off topic and stuff, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try! I belong to an awesome LJ community called Marchland, which is an older community (I think it’s technically 10 years old?) filed with remarkable, intelligent, diverse women from all over the world, focused on discovering and exploring ourselves, self-growth, community, and friendship. Many of the women have met up in person, and will continue to do so. I would not be the person I am today if not for the community, and it’s a safe place for me to be real and raw like I am with nobody else.

Anyhow, I know it might sound juvenile, but we’re looking for newer members to help bring in more activity. You don’t have to already use LJ, but if you make a new one, be sure to make a note about it on your profile. 

So, uhhh… yeah. Check us out?

“He showed the words ‘chocolate cake’ to a group of Americans and recorded their word associations. “Guilt” was the top response. If that strikes you as unexceptional, consider the response of French eaters to the same prompt: ‘celebration.’”

Anyone who maintains a fully clean lifestyle all of the time has my deepest admiration and respect, but look, someone has to eat the ice cream, okay?
