How can anyone who wants to be "skinny" believe in what the rest of the world calls recovery?
Even if I "recover" from this state of mind, gain weight, become what they think of as normal..
Stop thinking this way, counting calories and staring at my body in the mirror, looking at thinspo videos on you tube?
I did actually gain some weight because I felt that my face looked sunken and wasted away. I still do not feel pretty.
I do not feel fat so much as depressed and "imperfect". My stomach is not flat enough and my thighs look gross. Oddly, I know even as I say this that other people would say I look good.
I know I am sick in the head, but I felt happier when I acted on these thoughts and deprived myself. Feeling in control felt so good.
I don't think I can maintain this "normalcy"...
Restricting made me feel like I was on my way to being "forever thin".
I know logically that perfection is a myth..
but that cannot keep me from going back to where I am comfortable and felt free and empty...

I met my friend in Denver for shopping and happy hour, and we went into this awesome little boutique where I tried on a very cute/sexy lingerie top. The saleswoman made a comment on how skinny i was and took the smaller size off of the mannequin for me which made me feel like a million bucks! And i will say, I was not totally displeased with my appearance, except for my tiny boobs that didn't fill the top out enough :( but it still felt good to be their little "model" and have them keep bringing me stuff to try on!
Then we went to a nice place for happy hour and my friend insisted that I split a plate of truffle fries with her (I would NEVER order that on my own, and this particular friend is on the heavier side....) So i ended up eating half of them and trying to PURGE as much as I could, but didn't feel like I got much up. So in the car on the way home, in rush hour and a snow storm, I was trying to make myself puke into a shopping bag. While driving. To me that seems pretty low, what do you all think? Is anyone else this fucking consumed with getting all food out of their body!? Argh I feel like I should be mad at myself for putting myself and other drivers in danger but I'm not, I feel like I ate those damn fries so I had to do what I had to do. I was going to puke in the parking garage by my car but thought I'd be more likely to get caught.
Also today I went to an initial consultation for a ED treatment program, that my current therapist referred me to because I've gotten quite a bit worse regardless of being in 'treatment' since April. My bf also told me about this place after I told him that i've fallen back into this. It's an intensive outpatient program and it costs $15,000. Thank god for insurance....but.....wtf am I really going to go through with it??? It was really a slap in the face today to see where I have gotten myself. Especially since I'm fitting comfortably into my size 4s ( I know I talk about them a lot but I'm sooooo happy with that!) and having store owners that i look skinny....why would I give that up to spend TONS of time and money in treatment??? Yipes.
But, as I posted in my journal.....I don't know which is scarier? Being so f*ed up that I'm facing a $15 thousand dollar treatment program, or the fact that I'm so f*ed up that i'm purging into a bag in my car while driving. Icky icky gross hell!
My bf and some of his friends are going out to a pizza place tonight and he said that I'd come but told everyone that I probably wouldn't eat. WTF they're all going to be like wtf is wrong with Jonny's girlfriend??? I know that going there is just setting myself up to purge, if I break down and have even one bite. Any advice on how to enjoy myself without ending up disappointing myself and my bf by ending the dinner in the bathroom?
So thank you for reading this if you took the time to!!!! I thought the color and bolding of the text might make it more interesting :)
THANK YOU ALL FOR EXISTING AND BEING SO W ONDERFUL TO EACH OTHER!!!!

most of the time, the reason i don't have the courage to post here is b/c i fail.
i've been on a binge-roll for the past 3 days and i don't have the guts to even log in to LJ.
make it short, i'm too ashamed b/c i have no control.
gosh.. i wish i had willpower.
i desperately have to lose weight.. yet..?
my cousin will be back on the 16th, so it will be harder for me to not eat..
meanwhile, i should control myself to the max while she's not here yet.
i don't care. i'll just restrict and refrain.
if i could do this, it would show me that i can control my own life for the better.

so sorry girls :(

I was motivated to keep this going for 5 days after I overheard my sister talking to my mom about how she wants to be a size 3 again. I'm planning to go on for 5 days. Tuesday down. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, & Saturday to go.
Question 1: How do you break a liquid fast?
Question 2: I'm feeling nauseous, weak & I'm having one hell of a head ache. Is that normal during a fast?

To the people who responded to my last post, thank you. :) Made me smile like CHEEZE,YO. lol. I wonder if it's normal that I'm so hyper but I haven't chewed a thing today. BUT I did drink some coffee from some store. Teacher got it for me, I drank less than a half so just to be safe, I round that to... 75 calories. From then- nothing. But right now, diet coke. Awesome. I. feel. AWESOME.

Hey everyone, been a long while since I posted. You know how it is.
2 STONE TO LOSE. At the very least. It feels like an upward battle and the top of the hill feels miles away, however remaining positive, it can and WILL be done. To add to my new years resolutions, 1. Get organised, it seems a bit silly but i'm thinking of writing a menu for each week so when I go shopping I only buy the bare minimum and not what feels like a good idea at the time. Not sure if you can see my method in my madness. Also incorporating an exercise regime and that way, when it's written in front of me hopefully I won't deviate from it or forget what i'm supposed to be doing.
2. Quit smoking! I'm on day two and so far so good. It's a bit crazy because quitting smoking is associated with putting on weight but as long as I don't replace smoking with eating I think i'm safe, plus, if you think about it, i'll be healthier and be able to push myself further when exercising, or at least, that's my theory. If anyone knows anything different, or anything at all please let me know!
One last thing, anyone tried diet pills? Anyone know any good ones? And where to get them? That last one is a biggy, it seems all the good ones are really hard to get hold of! (live in England, if that has anything to do with it)
Final word (honest) i'm not sure if it's any good at burning calories but was playing boxing on the wii and my arms are KILLING :D i'm hoping it might tone my arms up but I am concerned about chunkiness if I end up building muscle, don't want to look like arnold schwarzenegger! I'll be back!
Think thin, keep up the good work
lots of love xxx

So far so good today :)
I have only eaten 140 calories in cheese and have been drinking water.
I feel very strong today and i am very happy.
I have spent my day looking up 'diet' pills such as apidexin, Phenphedrine, and Liporexall. Has anyone taken these or know of one with proven results? any input, positive or negative, would be greatly appreciated.

am doing okay today am still on my raw food diet (day five) and i havent purged yet in five days(a huge accomplishment). but i dont feel so good because am not losing weight.
does anyone know where i can get green tea pills from? because they didnt have any at the pharmacies :( i can only get them online?
someone posted about their mum starting a diet and its too old for me to comment now but i can totally relate :( my mum eats so damn little i actually suspect she has an eating disorder. she is normal weight wise (probably a little underweight) and she is always dieting,she always uses the bathroom after eating and closes all the doors on her way there, or she suddenly eats too much. i also have two clinically diagnosed anorexic aunts and a cousin. so i feel we are all in sort of a competition. i hate it.
i love all the girls here. such a supportive community u guys all rock. we all go through almost the same shit everyday. i wish we all get better <3
as i always say, thank you.

I gained again. I'm 121 now. It's because the office had an office lunch yesterday. I started out great then suddenly I was just shoving food into my mouth.
The good thing is I didn't purge. Wouldn't let myself. I was so close to it too. But I didn't :)
However that means I'm a pound heavier today. Fuck this. Fuck mia. Fuck the binge tendencies and the purge tendencies.
So since I'm not purging anymore, that means I can't binge anymore.
I've had a cup of coffee, black, today and that's it. But it's only 10:47 am. I'm worried that we'll do another office lunch since this new girl is working. Give me strength to ignore mia.

Hello ladies,
I hope everyone had a good holiday.
This is the first time I have been back in almost a month! I went to my dads and they don't have internet, I didn't realize how much my life revolves around having an internet connection until it was gone. Especially since I was away from all my friends and didn't know anyone.
Well, things didn't go to well for me over the past month, and as of right now I am not sure of my exact weight I didn't have a scale at my dad's and Daniel threw ours away :(
I am sure I gained quite a bit, I feel like a whale. Interestingly enough I got new jeans for christmas, 3 pairs a size 0, a 2 and a 4 I am normally a 2 so I'm not sure how to feel about this one.
Now that I am home things are going to get much stricter and I WILL LOSE.
Yesterday I ate
- a spinach and feta wrap - 240 cal,
- a Grande skinny vanilla latte - 130 cal
- a coke zero - 0 cal
- and another coffee that I don't know the calories of but I would guess around 250
TOTAL: 620 cal
I am going to try to do the same if not better today.
It is going to be pretty easy I think, Daniel is working today and I am going to be mostly alone so I can restrict and do crunches and the like :D
I hope everyone has a wonderful day

Hey everyone! I haven't been posting for some time - well, I'm not sure if anyone remembers me, but yeah, here I am, posting again.
I need help. I had a 150-cal dinner yesterday, around seven, and I barfed it all out. It wasn't intentional. I just felt so nauseous and threw up everything. After that, everything seemed to be pretty okay already. I got up for a 5 mile run at 5 this morning and threw up near a drain (I know that sounds gross, but I felt so nauseous after the run.) I couldn't take any solids today. I threw up broccoli, bread and strawberries I tried to eat for breakfast. Lunch wasn't any better. I threw up basically any solid food. I could only take liquids - I've taken yoghurt.
Does anyone know why this is happening to me?
Um, if this helps, I'm 15, standing at 5'1.5, weighing roughly 90~ pounds.

63,7 kg, about 139 lbs? Yesterday I went swimming and exercising, my hands feel heavy. But I'm good. I lost weight from yesterday's huge number. Not much though but still..
Recently I've felt mentally good. Everything is just fine. I'm fine. The holiday was really good for me since I've been really close to burn out.

I've noticed a lot of you girls do yoga. I don't have a wii fit or anything so i just do a lot of cardio. I really wanna lengthen my muscles out so my arms are'nt so bulky. Would yoga be right for me, and is there any videos on the internet that will show me how?
i absolutely hate the holidays with every bit of me.
thanksgiving, christmas, and new years? FUCK THAT.
i am totally out of control, i feel so fat & i swear ive gained ten pounds but im too afraid to go on the scale.
i really want to just kill myself.
i have to stop this madness, i need help
someone help me?
please.
