"   A Seattle woman whose real name is Beautiful Existence decided to challenge herself this year by only eating at Starbucks. Her motivations are limiting her menu and girl power. According to Eater, Beautiful Existence will only eat food purchased from Starbucks and the other stores it owns, such as Tazo Tea and Evolution Fresh. Existence says she wants to control the range of her diet because of people in other places who don&amp;#039;t have access to the same luxuries as Americans.

Referencing others who have eaten at one place every day for a year, Existence said on her blog, &amp;quot;But when I watched those guys doing their thing I asked myself &amp;#039;where are the WOMEN challenging themselves in the world?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Perhaps Beautiful Existence wasn&amp;#039;t made aware of 66-year-old Christine Hall, whose story became well-known back in September after she allegedly lost 75 pounds by only eating Starbucks food for two years straight. Beautiful Existence isn&amp;#039;t participating in her all-Starbucks diet to lose weight, however, and the blogger has apparently done similar challenges in the past. One year she only made purchases from Goodwill.

Some of Beautiful Existence&amp;#039;s friends think she will gain weight and spend too much money participating in her current challenge. The latter is probably true, especially given her goal to limit the variety of her diet because of people who are less fortunate. Eater points out that so far Existence has been spending around $19 per day, which will total $7,000 at the end of the year, compared to the $3,000 per year the average woman spends on groceries. Eating at only one fast-casual restaurant became a trend after Jared Fogle lost 245 pounds by eating subs from Subway for a year. Not only did he become famous, Subway hired him as a spokesperson, so he ultimately made money off of his challenge. Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me made a name for himself by documenting his weight gain and health deterioration while eating McDonald&amp;#039;s for all three meals over the course of 30 days. Will Beautiful Existence succeed in her yearlong Starbucks challenge? Who knows, but she certainly won&amp;#039;t be the last person to take on a fast-casual food challenge and blog about it.
