Out of Pink Lemonade

Dum Dum DUUUUUMMMMM.... Because I didn't have pink lemonade I broke some rules and may have overate.

nature valley peanut butter bar - 140
25 crackers - 375
plus breakfast
total: 649 calories!!!

I went over 500, but at least it's not more than 900.

I expect that I'll binge tomorrow. We're going to Olive Garden and then there will be a buffet at the prom. I'll have to fast for a week.

I'm Not Creative Enough to Come Up With an Interesting Title

I feel like shit. My entire body is sore. Worse... I'm exactly the same weight I was yesterday. 137 lbs. What the hell?!

1/2 cup of cottage cheese - 90
20 blueberries - 14
pink lemonade - 30

total: 134 calories

Should I eat more or stop there?

My 10 pg paper on Perspectives on Sex is due today and I only have 8 pages of crap.

I'm so depressed and stressed and scared out of my mind that I'm not going to be able to graduate.

I got my hair cut yesterday so that the style I want could be done right tomorrow for prom. I'm not sure I like my hair being this length. I kind of miss my hair being long. But it will grow back.

I've been having very soft, kinda greenish bowel movements the last couple of days. Better than constipation I suppose.

But why didn't I lose weight since yesterday!!?? I ate 5 sushi total - 200 calories plus the pink lemonade - 30 calories which only comes out to 230 calories. And I didn't lose any weight??? I walked for an hour too for exercise. So dumb. I'm mad.

Maybe it's the fact I ate in the afternoon? And then took a nap? I don't know...

Meh...

Yesterday:
138.something lbs

Walked out of last 15 min of kung fu after humiliating myself by refusing to spar and being forced to do over 50 pushups of which I really can't do therefore kept falling to the floor in tears. I'm quitting. I will go to the gym for work outs from now on.

PMSing big time! CRIED CRIED CRIED. I'm weak. Such a fucking failure.

But I didn't eat. :) pink lemonade - 30 calories

Had a looooooooooooooooong talk with mom about life. She made me feel better. :) But only got 3 or 4 hours of sleep. :(

137 lb this morning

Weird throbing pain in asshole or tailbone last night.

3 1/2 Sushi this morning - 120 cal

Eyes are puffy and gross from lack of sleep and crying.

Got shoes from DSW, diamond costume jewelery, and small black purse to go with outfit. Plan on getting 1940s hairstyle for prom with flower in hair, deep red lipstick, and french manicure. Actually looking forward to prom now.

Post-Purge

Results in sore throat and upset tummy. Cure? TUMS!!! And warm water with lemon juice. And Ricola lemon drops to suck on. But with TUMS you'll feel the difference immediately, but it seems the Smoothie TUMS I own have 10 calories! Lame. But I don't want to get sick again so I'll take it.

Mom commented on my legs looking flabby. Great...

Fuck Me!

I totally fucked myself over! What the hell is wrong with me?! ARGH!!!

We went for sushi, ate, didn't taste great so we went to HEB and bought great sushi plus 1 lb of macaroni and cheese. In other words, we binged.

I didn't even enjoy it that much to tell you the truth. I could have stopped, but I just enjoy my friend's company so much. I mean she's not just my best friend, we're like sisters.

And okay... I kind of feel guilty about this, but somehow I convinced her that we should go to her house and purge. We've been flirting with eating disorders back and forth for 3 years now. But after taking turns purging in her bathroom, I think we just became ana buddies.

We made a promise to each other to really keep each other on track no matter what. We talked about the different excuses we were going to use and how little we were going to eat. Tomorrow we decided we're going on a fast. And I'm just torn because I love her and I don't want her to destroy herself like I have and yet I don't want to be alone in this. I really really need her to support me. Not to mention, she was the reason I binged in the first place. I mean if she eats, I can't help but eat as well. She's the only one that can make me break like that, but if she's on my side then she has no excuse, no say in whether I should eat or not because we're in the same boat now. And I know it's horrible of me, but it's so comforting at the same time. Maybe...maybe if we're together in this we can help each other lose the weight we want and then help each other maintain it and keep healthy once we've achieved it.

Anyways I didn't purge everything because I didn't want to take too long. So I went to the gym for an hour and a half. Fucking machines tell me I only burned 200 calories, but I feel like I deserve to have burned more. They're telling the truth though, which really pisses me off because all that work for only 200 cal???!!!

I wore tights underneath my stretchy workout pants because I needed something to control muscle definition and I've heard tights or tight pants help with that. My dance teacher, some websites, and my cousins and aunt up in Maine all tell me that. I'm also thinking about buying 2 new pairs of skinny jeans. Size 7 or 6 and size 5 or 4 so that it motivates to starve myself into them.

Oh and I just remembered what really ruined me tonight was when I was hanging out at her house... She has a puppy see and he's in that biting stage and you know what he did??? He bit my belly fat!!! UGH! Now I know I'm a fat pig. I'm so gross.

So if you want a calorie estimation try 2000 calories... Today I was definitely a fat failure. And all my hard work probably went to waste now. FUCK.

GAS

Alright, so I had:

Breakfast:
1 vanilla fiber one yogurt - 80

Snack: I jut couldn't hold out... I'm so weak.
1 fiber one peanut butter bar - 150

1 piece of gum offered by friend (Broke rule of not taking food from anyone)
- 5

So far... 235 cal

And now my friend is tempting me with sushi... (Going out for food would be breaking another rule)

How many calories does sushi have? If they aren't the plain kind they all are about 500 or more calories. If it's just the fish or crab it's around 130 calories.

Lame...

I may go and burn it all off at the gym. Haven't used my membership in awhile anyways. First I'm going to work on homework though and see if we forget about going out or something.
