  • A very nice reader has prompted me to return to xanga, so that's what I'm doing. I missed my daily blogging alot. I've got so much on my mind right now.
    I've finally kicked my ass down from 165 to 158 these past 2 weeks and I'm not stopping there. I've got so much I need to get in shape for. I'm auditioning for Belle in Beauty and the Beast in a few months, and I really think that if I can get below 130 I really have a very very good chance of getting the role. I've wanted to play that kind of role all my life, so I've got a big picture of Belle hanging in my room, and I just look at it any time I want to binge.

    I want to apologize to all the people who read and to the challenge I bailed out on. I'm sorry, but I was just going through an incredibly rough patch, but things are smoothing out.

    It's almost Valentine's Day, and I've got the cutest lab parter in my chemisty class. (Though, we're just friends at the moment. I'm not expecting a big Valentine's Day adventure this year.) I'll discuss him more tomorrow.

    At the moment it's a snow day and I'm just sort of laying in bed chilling. I've got an essay due tomorrow that I need to work on and laundry to fold, but I'd much rather just lie here, muse, and watch reruns of Sex and the City (grrrrrrrreat thinspo) on fanpop.

    I hope you all are having awesome days, and I'm really glad to be back.

  • I'll be weighing myself tomorrow, I'm a little frightened, but also really really excited. I can't wait to see what the last three days have done for me.
    So, today I noticed that I've slipped into a routine.
    No Breakfast
    Fiber One for lunch
    2:40PM Special K snack
    Come home and drink first 3 cups of water
    Drink 2nd 3 cups during dinner
    Drink last 2 cups during dessert (applesauce)
    Wait fifeen minutes before Gazelling for an hour

    And... the routine is always the thing that makes me slip up, because eventually, I get bored, or inversly, take the routine away and I spin out of control.
    Tomorrow I'm going into the city with a friend of mine to see Rent on Tour. If we do have lunch, I'm only getting a salad, and if we go out for coffee I'll only get tea with skim milk. I've forced myself into this plan so that I don't get side tracked.

    Today at lunch a friend of mine said "Seriously, you're getting like... anorexic!" and she bases this on the fact that I've bought a Fiber One bar for lunch for the past three days instead of loading up a tray with whatever grease they were serving with a large fries, iced tea and 4 chocolate chip cookies. I told her that I'm just trying to eat healthier. She bought it.

    Also, today in Creative Writing we were peer editing and a girl whom I'm sort of friendly with wrote this beautiful story about a dancer who developes anorexia due to peer pressure and it made me want to cry. It was so true and so painful. I told her that it hit really close to home and that I really loved it. I really wonder if she's been through it or if that's her outside perspective. I know she's a dancer, so she might have lived it through friends.

    Hope you all are doing well today!
    Have great low calorie weekends!

    Hi everyone!
    I've decided not to weigh myself everyday. I'd rather be surprised by the result at the end of the week... and at the moment I can't seem to find my scale. I hope you're all doing well today. I'd like to direct your attention to an article I read yesterday in Teen Vogue about what they described as "Wannarexia." Now, personally, I think the problem begins with the title. I can't say that I know a single person in real life on on xanga who wants to be anorexic. It's a terrible life threatening disease and you'd have to be crazy to look at that and say "Hey! That looks like fun!" The article interviewed girls who frequent pro ana sites where you can get those helpful tips and tricks and those girls basically said that they are just looking for a quick way to lose weight. The article seemed to be pointed at people like me though. People who frequent pro ana sites and restrict calories. The article completely missed the point of pro ana sites. Any self respectable one would never promote anorexia as any way of living and they completely skipped over the part of most ana sites where those recovering and currently unwilling to recover create a support system for everyone who struggles. The article made me just a little mad. I don't want to be labeled as a Wannarexic. I found it ironic that Teen Vogue would do a story like that when most anas use the magazine as a source for thinspo. Seems like a double standard, doesn't it?
    Thoughts? Opinions? I love a good debate.

  • I feel so strong today. It's the first time in a while that I've actually been able to stick to a plan. I feel reborn today. Rising like a phionix from the ashes of my lies and deception, and I couldn't possibly love it more.
    Today was my first day back at school. Instead of focusing on food, I'm going to focus on schoolwork. If I do it at night, I won't be stressed out and it'll take up time.

    In other news, I'm going on a job hunt tonight, but I'm only 15 so there aren't a lot of places that will hire me. I currently work at my father's Dairy Queen and I refuse to work in food service because of the fact that you need to completely serve the customers, and you're around food all the time. I'd prefer to work in a place like Game Stop where the customers can service themselves and all I have to do is restock, vaccuum and work the cash register. I can totally do that.

    To Do
    French Book
    Physics
    History
    Shop for Microwave Meals

    Intake
    B- Nothing
    L- Fiber One bar- 140
    S- Fiber One bar- 140
    D- Roasted Chicken and Spinach Sauce- 180
        Apple Sauce- 50

    Total- 510

    I'm shopping tonight for low cal microwavable dinners, so that should help.
