Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner

 Oh my goodness! I saw dirty dancing for the first time in my life today and I am in love! Patrick Swayze is a hunk! ;) Oh my goodness he was beautiful. Oh and Jennifer Gray is my new inspiration. Absolutely gorgeous. For some reason, I fell in love with this shirt she's wearing. I am definatley going to make one of these out of an old shirt :) I'm so excited. This new year I am totally going to kick ass and tip my whole world onto its head. More to come soon. I can't wait!!

This Morning

   We were laying in bed... Your hip bones, they're so sharp. Ya I know. Geeze, don't you feel them?? Ya...  (Nervous) they've always been like that. No matter how much I weigh. I guess mine are just bigger than a lot of peoples' Like they just curve out more ( Complete bullshit). Well, I like them ;)

It's What Day?

What in the world is boxing day?

Christmas Eve Eve

Whoo hoo!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited right now. I got this amazing App on my phone called Noom. It's this free weight loss coach thing that makes you post your meals workouts and weight each day. It sends you little reminders and gives you 5 tasks each day. It's pretty cool. I'm really busy with all the holiday stuff, so I haven't been posting lately. I'm also getting ready for the new year and all of my lovely resolutions. I'm putting together a big binder and calling it " Project Me" Its going to have all of my short term and long term goals and resolutions in it all separated by section filled with progress charts and color coded and it is going to be awesome! Hehee I'm so excited :)

Jaeger

sOOO  I"m reallly drunk right now. The bfs bff is here : finally, anf he said I was skinnier.  His exact wordsz were" skinnier, but not unhealthy looking lol" Fuck I'm so happy right now. He thinks I'm skinier. he noticed :)

Happy Holidays

I'm a failure :( Fasting until Christmas Eve? I think so

It's About Time

Saw my mom today for the first time since August. First words out of her mouth, " You're too skinny. You need to eat more"  This is coming from the woman who always told me to stop eating or I would weigh 300 lbs by the time I was 18...

Wednesday Deadline

 Soooo my bf's bff (lol) is coming back in town on Wednesday! I haven't seen him since maybe June? Idk but, I'm a lot skinnier than I was then. I probably weighed like 143 then, but now I'm about 128 :) My Bf doesn't really notice that I lost weight, because he's always around me, and I guess the change is too gradual for him to notice... Idk Anyways, I have today, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, oh and Wednesday day to lose as much weight as possible. Whenever he's in town, we always party sooo much and it is such a good time. I have 5 days to lose as much weight as possible. I'm doing a fruit, yogurt, and green tea fast since yesterday, so I hope to lose at least 1- 1.5lbs per day. I think I can lose at least 5-7lbs by the time he sees me. I'm kind of super excited to see his reaction, but like most guys, he probably won't notice at all. Let's aim for 123lbs by Wednesday, ok? That would be great!! BMI of 18.7 lol Why does it thrill me to be so close to underweight? 

Day 8: Visualize and Make Your Wishes Come True

 I really really really need a 5 year plan. Like, I have no direction or goals in life right now. Hmmmm I feel a major planning day coming on Tomorrow before work. This is kind of exciting :D

Day 7: Have an Egg. It's Good For You!

Day 6: Have a Good Hair Day!

Day 5: Get Your Finances in Order!

 I definitely need to make up a budget and stick to it. Living on your own is hard! Sooooo many expenses I never imagined before. Jeeze I need to get this in order :/

Day 4: Grab Your Dumbbells!

 As always, click on the pic to make it bigger so you can read the directions lol. This workout it great :) I like to use 5 or 10lb dumbbells bc I'm not super strong in the arms region. That's a problem lol

Day 3: Get Your Daily Dose!

If you click on them, they get bigger and are a lot easier to read :)

Yay! The Internet is back!!!

Sorry, sorry, sorry I've been MIA for so long :) The damn internet was f'd up for like a week! I'm posting the makeup days for the self challenge! Please forgive me <3

My apologies!

Internet was down the past two days. I have to get a project done really quick and then I'll post the winter challenge stuff. Sorry!!!! By the way I came up with a new thing to do for motivation. Tie a piece of string snugly around my tummy, and then I am going to fruit and tea fast for a few days trying to keep the calories soooo low. Hopefully seeing the string getting looser and looser each day will be great motivation. Plus, I can't overeat, because if my belly starts to swell from eating too much I'll feel the string and it will make me stop :) I'll post pics each morning if I can.

What Body Shape am I?

Inspired by Skinny Ninny I want to know, what body shape do you think I am?                                             

Day Two: Have A Mission!

Here we go with day 2 of the Winter Challenge! This is exciting :) I'm having a little trouble staying away from the damn candy bowl. I'm super bloated right now, and I weighed in at 130.4 this morning :p ugh weight, go away! Anyways lol here are the pictures of the Self challenge day 2. I 'm going to try to just eat a salad at work tonight if anything, and I'll have bunches of coffee.  As for my mission? I'm going to have to think about it, and I'll get back to you later today :) What's your mission?

Amazing Website Alert!!!!!

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/9ldRq9/gainfitness.com/strength              It's so amazing! You put in how long you want to work out. If you want to work out at home or in the gym. If you want to work out for muscle gain, health and longevity, or fat loss (well duh! lol) and you pick what part of your body you want to work and it builds a workout for you with pictures and examples and everything! <3 It's amazing. Check it out!

Get Limber!

       OK so I got to leave work early because the restaurant was really slow. As Promised, here are the pictures of day one of the self challenge! Todays challenge: Get Limber  

  Yupp so that's challenge for day number one. Do your stretches!! How did today go for everyone? I think I did pretty well, but I did eat a few pieces of candy :( Stayed under 800 though! So that's go. I decided not to have my after work snack with the BF and dessert to make up for the candy that I ate. I'm curious to know how many people are in on this challenge? Reply to this post if you're doing the winter challenge :) Here's a link with the rules if you are interested Click Here!! I weighed in at 130.8 this morning disgusting I know. Especially because I was down to 125.8  My goal is to lose atleast 2.5lbs per week with an ultimat goal of 4lbs lost per week. If I lose 2.5 I will lose 10 lbs putting me at 120.8 (not good enough) If I can drop 4 lbs per week, I will lose 16lbs and be at 114.8. I can live with that. That would be absolutely amazing. I need to get there soon. Just to be at 125 would be amazing. then 120. then 115. then 111. I can do this!

Just a Little Longer

I get out of class in about 2 1/2 hours and I will post the stuff for the first day of the winter challenge!! Be excited, this is going to be great :) My food for today Breakfast= 2 clementines (70) Lunch= chunky tomato soup with hot sauce (150) Dinner at work= small salad of lettuce tomato and Balsamic vinaigrette dressing (150) After work meal with the BF spinach(20) with feta vinaigrette dressing(50) and if I stick to this completely with no mess ups Lemon Italian Ice (100) for dessert <3 It's so delicious. That brings my total to 540 calories today! I'm telling you all this will keep you full all day and if you need a little something extra to keep you going. you still have 260 left over that you can use! The goal is to stay under 800 calories ladies. You can do this!

Until

Day ten: Do you eat breakfast? What do you usually have? 

I try to eat breakfast sometimes, but I feel like that's too early in the day to start having calories. I'll usually have a Monster Absolute Zero energy drink (0) and if I want to eat, I'll have a pineapple greek yogurt (160) That's really about it. I've never been much of a breakfast person though.

I think that when I first started this blog, Anorexia was like a game for me. I think that i thought that this was something that you could just choose to do for a little while to lose some weight, and then you you stop whenever you were done. I would stick to my plans for a long time and then just kind of drift away to normal eating for a while. I would sometime use "anorexia" as a compensation tool if I felt like I ate too much the day before.  I would take it too far sometimes, like this summer, and then I would let people take over and help me "get better"  Now, it seems so different. It's not a choice any more. Every day, every second, it's in the back of my mind calculating planning, scheming.  Sometimes, I have thoughts of getting better, eating normally, and it sounds so nice and wonderful, and I feel so happy at the prospect. Then, that part of my brain just shuts down and ana takes over. All thoughts of normalcy obliterated.  It's crazy how fast it takes over.  And you know what the kicker is? Nobody believes me. I've tried hinting, leaving evidence, outright telling people, and they just blow it off.   Fuck. And you know what? They tell me " Oh, you're so skinny! You don't need to lose weight! How much do you weigh anyways?"  Does it matter!? It's not about the number. It never was about the number. I'm not scared of being fat. I'm not scared of food. I'm not trying to control my life. I just don't want food. I want strength. I hate being so weak. Don't tell me this is just a phase. Don't tell me it's because I want to be skinny. Don't tell me it's because of images in the media. Don't tell me it's because I'm trying to look like a supermodel. Don't tell me it's a coping mechanism, because I'm living on my own for the first time, because my mom abandoned us last year, because my parents never cared, because nobody ever paid attention, because I was born in the wrong place in the wrong time, because I can't deal with the changes...  I AM NOT LIKE ANYBODY ELSE. I AM ME. I AM NOT THESE OTHER PEOPLE. It's not a problem, it's the solution. I don't know how or why Ana chose me, but I'm happier now. How long will this go on? I have no idea. Is this something I can sustain for the rest of my life? I don't know, but I'm going to find out.     

Until the lights fade. Until the flame sputters. Until all strength has failed. Past the point of no return. Hand in hand we walk towards darkness. 

Go Bananas

Week Two!

If you broke your unhealthy habit for one week, congratulations! Why not try two weeks?  

**Oops, I messed up one day, but I'm going to keep trying!

Weekly challenge: Get organised! This week try to plan tomorrow’s meal the night before.

**I always plan my meals. I write out my week in advance, but I'll keep doing it. Maybe I'll post my weekly meal plans on blogger? Good Idea or bad?

Day eight: Name 5 things you like about your body (you can do it) and the one body part you’d like to change the most. 

Hmmm, 5 things I like about my body... I love my long blond hair. It's almost at my hips, and it make me happy, because nobody can just decide over night that they want long hair. It takes a lot of time and patience. I like my skin tone, I'm pretty tan all year. My teeth are straight and white, so that's good. My tummy is pretty flat and I am in love with my hipbones :) My legs are the worst part of my body. Ugh they need work.

Day nine: What is your favourite food, healthy or unhealthy.

Lasagna and pizza!!!! Mmmmmmm I can't live without them :)

Celery= 30 Salsa=10 Dressing= 60 Pineapple= 70 Candy=28 Total=  208. I Really hope that celery really is negative calories. Then, I would only be at 178 for the day. If I am good, and can keep the food out of my mouth until right before gymnastics practice, I can have a banana peanut butter smoothie (165) before practice for energy. They are filling and delicious! Check out Skinny Ninny for the recipe. I'm going to make a double batch and make one for my bf so he see's me eating and doesn't worry.
