Facebook jail, fat shaming, and whatnot...

So, fat shaming was very popular on Facebook yesterday. From the Huffington Post Parent piece about plus size shopping to the upsetting piece by one of my fellow Libertarians about how we are 'glorifying obesity' by 'promoting' it...let's just say I was annoyed. In fact, I called one commenter an asshole after she insisted that they should stop making clothes after size 20 because 'that's just unhealthy'. This got me blocked from posting on facebook for 24 hours. Fat shaming is cool. Don't you dare call someone an asshole though.

Whatever. Onward to the weight loss journey. Well, I talked myself out of working out yesterday and I feel kind of shitty about it. I was really tired and unmotivated. Both kids were purposely pushing my buttons all day long. By the time their nap rolled around, I didn't feel like doing anything. I did maintain my diet, though. So, it wasn't a total loss. I'm not feeling very motivated today, but I am going to at least do 30 minutes.

I have a cool recipe for you guys though, to cut the carbs and increase the protein in pancakes. My mother in law made these for the kids the other day and they were so good, I just had to know how she made them.

Ingredients:

2 eggs (beaten)
3 cups plain yogurt
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Sugar (optional and to taste)
Cinnamon (optional and to taste)

1. Beat eggs and yogurt together
2. Add in flour and baking powder (and sugar and cinnamon) as you mix to make pancake consistency.
3. Grill as you would regular pancakes.

This is a highly improvised recipe. Play around with the measurements. You can also use sour cream if you would rather. So long as you are coming up with the right consistency, you should be fine. Just don't forget the eggs...or it will be a hot mess. Literally. :)

That's all for now, folks. Just remember, fat shaming is not only mean...it's counter productive. Those of us who like to eat do not want to eat less because someone is an asshole to us on facebook. :)
