Tracy Anderson the vanishing act?

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been forever. Many things have happened lately, both good and bad and I've missed being able to share them with you. I uploaded a vid on youtube which explains some of the things but I figured I'd get a bit more personal on here. Irrational or not, I always feel like my blog is somewhat more intimate than my youtube. Because I'm an extremely lazy person at the moment who has taken on the philosophy of refusing to do anything academic (and yes, I mean writing....I wasn't kidding when I said lazy), I will list these recent developments instead of document them in paragraph form. 'Specially cuz I'm extremely A.D.D. (suprised?)

1. I graduated law school!!
2. I took, and passed the bar exam!! I am now Tracy Anderson J.D.
3. My sister had her babies (yes, twins)....they are absolutely adorable and precious and soo itty bitty tiny. They have also made me realize how much patience I actually have. There is obviously a disconnect between my general bullshit tolorance for adults and children, and for little babies. I think that goes without saying. But I like having state the obvious contests with myself so I said it anyways.

4. My sister got married!! Her and her husband and the babies still live with me which is awesome. As the Maid of Honor I was responsible for planning a large portion of the wedding, WHILE studying for the bar exam WHILE graduating law school. Fun times. Totally and unbelievably worth it though.
5. I joined a clinical trial for a medication that is supposed to help with certain thyroid disorders that effect your adrenal and pituitary glands. It ended up allowing me to lose an insane amount of weight. It's not a weight loss medication, it simply allowed me to lose weight like a regular person. In other words, the crazy workouts and strict eating habits (1200 calories a day, VERY limited simple carbs, starches, and 12-16 glasses of water/day) ACTUALLY resulted in weight loss!! Had I not been working out and dieting the medication would have done nothing in terms of weight loss. It kind of made all those workouts matter, on a superficial level of course. Basically it made my body respond to calorie intake/excerise as if I didn't have a thyroid/metabolic disorder.

*HOWEVER, it didn't get FDA approval yet :( The clincal trial ended a few weeks ago and the medication has been out of my system for almost 2 weeks now. In that time I've gained about 7 pounds (I think I said 4 in my vid- I meant to say that in the first week I gained back 4 pounds). My doctor told me that I will almost definately gain back all the weight, and then some potentially. He also said that my metabolism sort of "crashed" (I dont remember what he actually called it...I don't speak doctor) after my body withdrew from the meds so I will likely gain back the weight at a rate just as fast, if not faster than I initially did. SO....good news for people who like to watch girls gain weight , bad news for me. Like I say in my video...it's not as much about the SIZE for me as it is about the lack of CONTROL over my own body/weight.

*I will be documenting the (re)gain on here and possibly on youtube if you all want. Lemme know.

6. I, uh, got engaged. Very briefly. Like 4 days briefly....yeah. Big mistake, and a long story for another time. But now I'm headed out to pick up dinner. It's too dang hot to cook.

Hope you all are doing well, and I will post another update (part 2, since I'm almost positive I've left out major details on this post lol) soon!!

Stay cool (my fellow East-Coasters in particular at the moment considering the insane heat we've got goin on) and talk to you all soon!!

Mwah! xo, Tracy

wow

Wow. Most amazing night in an incredibly long time. I worked things out with my soon to be brother-in-law (he's proposing to my little sis Sunday...he flew the whole fam in to be there b/c thats how she's always wanted it to be). I went from nearly hating and strongly resenting him to absolutely adoring and respecting him tremendously. This kid has been through a lot...he lost his sister and father in less than a year (this past year) and basically has to single handedly take care of his mother while still trying to be there for my sister (his gf of 3 years) whose pregnant with his twins. Him and I went out tonight because my sis had told me that he really wanted to make things right with me and because I knew it was important to her, I gave it a shot. We had one of the most emotional conversations I've ever had; we were both in tears afterwards. But yeah, bottom line is I absolutely love my new brother and couldn't be happier for my sis. Oh, and I'm gonna be an Auntie/ God Mother soonnn!!!!

In other news, I hate boys at the moment. Just basically found out that one had been stringing me along and feeding me all sorts of Grade-A bullshit just so I'd stand by him as a backup I guess if things didn't work out with his gf. I could name names (I'm sure some of ya'll know him) but for his gf's sake (as well as my own self-respect) I won't. But it's tempting. But I wont. lol.

Oh and new pics up in my thread on LTC in the pics of you forum. Woot! Sexy time.
Hah, just watched Borat so I'm prolly going to be quoting that for the next few weeks.

Sexy time indeed. Or actually...bed time.

I'm back bitchesss

Aside from stuff I mentioned in the vid....s'more fun facts about my life recently:

1. I learned to cook! (kinda-sorta)....Me and my sis took a series of cooking classes that our mom bought for us. I can now cook sushi, pizza (from scratch), and a shit ton of other deliciousness. And most of it is edible.


2. In addition to my personal trainer I have also started taking cardio strip tease classes. They are SO much fun and are actually a really good workout!

3. I started tutoring autistic children in November or December....NOW in addition to doing that once or twice a week (GREAT money and it feels good as well) I am also tutoring local college students in preparation for the LSAT's.

4. My sister and I got two more doggies (they are technically hers and her *HOPEFULLY* soon to be husbands)...One Siberian Husky female pup and one 8 month old German Shepard that we adopted and named Romo (yes after Tony Romo...told ya'll we were Cowboys fans)

5. My sister found out she is having twins....which explains why she looked 8 or 9 months pregnant around 5 or 6 months. She doesn't know their gender yet....apparently it's harder to determine with twins.

6. Speaking of twins, after my twin bro broke up with his fiance he decided to move closer to where me and my sis live. When he was staying with us for a month he looked at places nearby and is now trying to get reassigned (he's a Marine).

7. SUPER exciting news- I sold my Benz to my mom and am buying the new SLS Mercedes on March 11th. I cannot freaking wait. I'm sure I will put up pics as soon as I get it...it's pretty much the sexiest thing I've ever seen

VERY important- PLEASE WATCH

Again, not directed at everyone, but ya'll should know who you are.

MAJOR frustration!!

So as many of ya'll probably know I have been working my ASS off (no pun intended) trying to lose weight. I have been on a strict diet of 1200 calories a day and have a personal trainer who I'm pretty sure is trying to kill me through exercise. By the advice of my trainer and doctor I got rid of my scale (well kind of...I had my sister hide it) so I wouldn't be frustrated and give up. The problem is that my thyroid condition is working so hard against me that despite doing anything and everything to lose weight I have actually GAINED. I know this because I had a doctors appointment today and he assured me that I should not give up and keep doing what I'm doing because it is actually slowing down the weight gain. I feel like if I stopped I would gain like 10 lbs a week. Since I started my diet I have put on 15 lbs...all of which are in my belly (as usual). It's so frustrating. My reason for wanting to lose weight is that my fat is not distributed in a flattering way on my body. There are curvy girls who are large all over and look great. But my belly is so disproportionately large compared to the rest of my body that I just look really awkward. And lately I have been having bad back pain as well. I used to always sleep on my stomach but now it just feels too weird (my belly folds over itself). So basically I'm just venting right now because I'm sure there are people out there who can relate to this. It's so hard working so diligently to lose weight and then finding out you actually have been gaining.Heres a pic I took recently....totally accidentally (I thought I was recording a video)

It's about damn time for a new post

Seriously right? It's been like forever. Anyways, I've gotten a TON of questions lately (many of which are repetitive) so I figured I'd make a Q&A blog. Woohoo. Here goes:

1. Who do you "look up to" in the  BBW world?
 I see many people as inspirations. Cherries obv, because her and I seem to have similar backgrounds pre-gain. Debz (mod on FF) because of her no-bullshit attitude as well as her ability to articulate herself beautifully. And about a hundred others whose names are escaping me at the moment.

2. How do you feel being "famous" on youtube and in the gaining community?
 Shit, I'm famous? Huh, I legit had no idea. I think thats the overstatement of the year.

3. What do you miss about being smaller?
 I miss being able to shop wherever I want and being able to eat anything without gaining a pound. Those were the days....

4. Favorite music?
I'm from Nashville sillies!! I'm a tried and true country girl, but I really like all types of music. My favorite band at the moment is the Red Hot Chili Peppers and U2.

5. Favorite movie?
BOONDOCK SAINTS 1 AND 2. Why did I put that in all caps? Because it was necessary to communicate the awesomness of those films. If you haven't seen them immediatly drop what you are doing and head to your nearest Blockbuster/Red Box.

6. What type of law do you want to practice?
Since I come from a military family, vets have always had a special place in my heart. I eventually want to open my own private practice firm representing veterans who have not recieved sufficient compensation for their service.
 


Part 2 later but now nap time for meeee. Submit any questions you might have and I'll answer them

My sister is a lunatic

So my pregnant sister officially scares the crap out of me. We're sitting downstairs watching the Simpsons and she just burst into tears over some "touching" moment that transpired on TV. It was a commercial for Glade scented candles. Five mins later the show comes back on and she immediatly stops crying and starts laughing histarically. I slowely scooted away from her on the couch and made a mental note to hide all the sharp objects around the house.

It's seriously like watching a movie with a thousand twists. I never know what to expect.

Basically I don't have a damn clue why I'm sharing this with ya'll....I guess I just wanted to leave some evidence of my sisters insanity just in case she decides to kidnap me in my sleep or something.

Bitches be crazy yo.
