  <description>Hey girls,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m down 4 pounds this week (actually since Tuesday) but don&apos;t worry I&apos;ll eat a little so my metab won&apos;t plummet! I went running and biking last night, then took 2 tylenol pm and now feel like I can hardly function. It&apos;ll probably be a double expresso day!! Hope everyone is excited for the weekend if you have any fun plans!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The marathon is in 2 weeks and I&apos;m VERY nervous, esp since everyone is comparing how Sarah and I are doing (shes a cheerleader) so she obviously has been following the training to a &quot;T&quot; and I got this damn ankle injury I&apos;m healing so I will probably be walking more than running, but I&apos;m NOT GIVING UP. No way. I spend too much time and money preparing for this damn race and I&apos;m not going to fail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THINK THIN LOVELIES</description>

  <description>Hello Girls- it&apos;s been awhile. My ex and I met up last week for the 1st time in over a year and a half. When we were e-mailing we asked each other how we looked. He said I looked about the same but skinnier. Vain, I know, but I was elated to no end!</description>

  <title>Her</title>
  <link>http://stickstonebone.livejournal.com/18753.html</link>
  <description>She is so perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She makes me want to be perfect too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her hair always shiny and done just right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her skin always tanned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her energy always up up up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it&apos;s because she is a cheerleader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is so nice too, so it is impossible to hate her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t hate her, just envy like CRAZY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know envy doesn&apos;t do any good,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just can&apos;t help it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I wish I wish&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I try I try I try&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when I fall sometimes it&apos;s hard to get up&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She makes me want to try harder harder harder&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make those bones pop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I hear her accomplishments I think &quot;so what? I could too&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But deep down I just want to be everything I&apos;m not.</description>

  <description>Ok girls I need to rant. I have been so F*ing crabby over the last week since I&apos;ve been pushing and pushing myself. At first the scale just sat there like &quot;ha you want me to go down?&quot; And today it finally did, only like 1 pound, which I should be happy about but its like its not enough!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then yesterday got my period a week early, and i&apos;m on the pill so it should not be doing this. And even my bf (goes to school away during the week) said I&apos;ve been really withdrawn lately. UGGH I hate how this makes me feel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just also found out that I have a meeting at lunch time and can&apos;t work out like I wanted to!!!! I have pottery class tonight and will have no time to after work. All I have to say is my yoga video had better arrive in the mail today or I&apos;m going to flip. F everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope everyone is staying strong and optimistic, unlike me today!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOL I&apos;ve gotta laugh at myself b/c I have cramps and want to roll into a ball. The only good thing about today is I&apos;m working in an office with no one else (except people can just &quot;pop&quot; in) but I can be on LJ more freely today. YAY!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love you all&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stick Chick</description>

  <title>Good Morning</title>
  <link>http://stickstonebone.livejournal.com/18045.html</link>
  <description>Hello everyone! SOunds like the weekends went pretty well. My boyfriend came home for the weekend and it was a good time. I even got up everyday to exercise!! Whoo hoo!! This gym being 3 minutes from home is a real motivator. I also stepped up my green tea to &quot;green tea fat burner&quot;. Hope this works too. This sounds lame but I&apos;ve been working out about 1/2 hour cardio and 1/2 hour on squats, stuff like that. I feel like if I just wear myself out I will get hungry, but I do want to work off what I do eat. Any suggestions?? Drinking Red Bull before or something? I&apos;ve become addicted to coffee recently! I wonder how many cals in that. I only use splenda and fat free half and half.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt like I got hit by a train. Then why didnt I lose anything this weekend? Could it be I haven&apos;t had a BM (bowel movement) for a couple days?? I have been restricting, not drinking alcohol and downing water like it is going out of style. Uhhh. I&apos;ve been taking like 5 different vitamins daily too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I smoked some ganja witha friend and had like 2 cups of cereal and 2 yogurts. I think that is why I didn&apos;t lose anything? What do you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have my teeth surgery (wisdom teeth) on 11/3 and hope to loose more when that happens. I am going to the gym at lunch today too. There was this woman there yesterday and I SWEAR her legs were as skinny as my arms!! So not F*ing fair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope everyone has a wonderful day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stick Chick</description>

  <title>Hello lovelies</title>
  <link>http://stickstonebone.livejournal.com/17783.html</link>
  <description>Hello girls,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been away for a couple months, but this place makes me realize what is real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just bought a new yoga video on amazon so I&apos;m excited for that. I&apos;m really broke but renewed my gym membership on my credit card anyways so I can get back into my routine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get my wisdom teeth out in 2 weeks from this FRIDAY!! I am scared but excited that I won&apos;t be able to use my mouth for awhile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uhh I feel so overwhelmed right now. So many big events around the corner. Halloween, my vacation New Years. I looked at some pics from March and my legs were sooo skinny!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;QUESTION: How much is the most amount of weight you&apos;ve gained while binging whether it be days, weeks or months worth? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I try not to beat myself up b/c my lowest wt was 113, but now I&apos;m 123. 10 F*ing lbs. It feels icky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you are all doing wonderfully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think Thin</description>

  <description>I just jogged to the tanning salon... on my lunch break. heheh felt kinda funny, but whatever. I&apos;m trying to cut back on cigs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get this kinda rush, tell me if this is weird when I&apos;m running on the busy road and just imagining all these hot guys driving by in cars staring at me....wanting me....it makes me want to go farther. Anyone else feel this weird feeling??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any ways, so far today had 1 nature valley crunchy bar (180) few pieces of turkey (less than 90) and some grapes now. Oh and lotsa water. I love this no-doz shit!!! Plus green tea it rocks!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep it up lovelies!</description>

  <description>Gosh I wish I had a computer!! How many of you have your own computer?? I only have one at work so I&apos;m constantly hiding my screen when I&apos;m on here. It sucks, but at least i have my own computer at work!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t really know how I feel today - good knowing i&apos;m down 2 lbs from yesterday, but ohhh I feel like i&apos;ve got a long ways to go. I hate myself for returning to the &quot;old&quot; me. In feb I was 114-115 and now I&apos;m 122. Sickening. But its getting better. I&apos;m restricting again and getting more active.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what sucks is that I started smoking cigs again which I know sucks but it is an appetite suppressant. But then I feel like it&apos;s harder to run and work out while I smoke, my lungs hurt. Does anyone else have this same situation?? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just bought some No-Doz, taking that plus green tea. Hope the combo will help. I already feel more energized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was wondering what is the best way to take all your vitamins while not eating a lot?? They tend to make me sick to my stomach if I eat hardly anthing and then take these fat vitamins. Ugg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope everyone&apos;s day is ok!! Its raining here, I&quot;m going tanning at lunch, have a wedding this weekend!! Whoo hoo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stickstonebone</description>

  <description>Well I&apos;m back after falling off the deep end for awhile and then climbing back on, I&apos;m back in the teens! Yay! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know its stupid to obsess, but I can&apos;t help it when i see the scale creep up on me. It makes me want to vomit. I don&apos;t know why I stopped caring, I guess it was because I still didn&apos;t feel happy about myself, but letting myself go only made things worse. Sooo, here I am again. I started seeing a counselor b/c of all the messed up shit and changes going on in my life. It has helped, she is really nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel like I don&apos;t know anyone here anymore, but if you want to chat, i&apos;m here. Everyone needs motivation!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thinkin thin</description>

  <description>Ahh here I am over a month later and 8 lbs heavier. 120. Yuck. That number still makes me cringe. Why did I let myself go? Why do I hate myself for never getting low enough, then let myself go and hate hate all over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn&apos;t want to come back here, but I have. I don&apos;t even see many people I know here now. It does seem that long ago. I don&apos;t want to post on the site, just here. What the hell do I want anyhow?? I read this good thing that said women always think their lives will be better once they are thinner, richer, different job, except everything will be the same except they will be thinner (yay) or richer, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really hated how moody I was. I felt like I couldn&apos;t enjoy ANYTHING, not even fully appreciating when I got to see my boyfriend for the weekend and  thats just not fair to him or to me! I was sick of feeling sick and weak, yet I still wasn&apos;t obtaining my goal of &quot;optimal thinness&quot;. I heard the words &quot;under weight&quot; and smiled with glee. I don&apos;t want to be normal, but I don&apos;t want to be a psycho either! I don&apos;t want my life to be a black and white picture, because there are so many other shades and undertones to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t want to think about every morsel of food that goes into my body. It starts to get really depressing and aggrivating. I hated hating myself so much. I mean, I am not here for MYSELF and if I don&apos;t LOVE MYSELF, then how can I expect anyone else to?? It is just not possible. I know we&apos;ve all heard &quot;you have to love yourself first&quot; and I&apos;m starting to think it&apos;s true. I didn&apos;t even want Dan to touch me sometimes b/c I thought I was just lumpy wave after wave of cellulite and fat. 8 LBS heavier (which is where I was) he says he loves my curves and says how warm I am now. He said I used to always be cold. I said &quot;do you like me warm?&quot; He said of course. I don&apos;t know, all this sounds so lame to someone who has no freaking clue as to what is going on in my head. Thats why this place became such a haven for me is b/c there were soooo many people experiencing EXACTLY what I was and the same feelings, emotions, rituals, fears, anxieties, and the scary part is, I don&apos;t even want to imagine how many other girls are feeling that way that have never logged onto LJ or found any of these communities. I want to go visit some of teh recovery communities to see how they are. I used to think they were so weak and dumb and lame. Now I realize how healing they could be. Some people (most that are here) have NO ONE else to talk to and this is the only place where they feel safe. Well, until someone catches them, or cathches on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I binged and binged when I left this place. I ate sugar this and carb-filled that. I seriously ate like I had never eaten before. I must admit it did feel good at first, but then when I looked in the mirror and at the scale and at my fat thighs and ass, ahhh the overwhelming guilt set in. I wanted to throw myself off a mountain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But i&apos;m not writing this to try and feel worse. I am trying to feel better. I want to recover, I guess you could say. If it is even possible to do that. I know it probably is, but it is so hard to not have those overwhelming thoughts haunt me all day. Well I guess I&apos;m not as well as others yet not as sick as some. I really want to be truly happy with myself because what the hell is the point of living if you hate yourself? I mean, people in 3rd world counttries are starving to death and here we are in rich little USA starving OURSELVES, and for what? For some unobtainable goal? It sucks. It seriously blows to plan your day around 400 calories. You feel weak, sick, hungry, lightheaded and nauseated and then hate yourself when you binge and gain 3 lbs. Sick and sad!!! I am MORE of a person than that! I don&apos;t want to think EVERYTHING revolves around how someone looks. I&apos;d like to think I&apos;m more intelligent than that! I know I am. It hit me hard when I was on vacation and checking my e-mail and had received one from a member here saying she deleted all her communities and friends in efforts to recover b/c she doesn&apos;t think this lifestyle is worth it ( I believe her) and she hopes that i&apos;ll choose the path to a happier and healthier future.&lt;br /&gt; Now I&apos;m off too look at some more INspiring sites, not THINspiring ones. Happy trails!!</description>

  <description>Hello girls&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a serious headache right now. I don&apos;t know what&apos;s wrong with me. i&apos;m at the library and just looked thru this book Heidi Klum wrote and she had TONS of pics and it makes me just want to die. Makes me want to get fake boobs, live in the gym and never eat again. I wish i looked that good, then again, don&apos;t we all?? I&apos;m so sick of hearing about these hot ass models saying they &quot;eat normally&quot; thats a bunch of bullshit we all know it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a happier note, after thinking I weighed a 1000 lbs. from eating this weekend I really kicked my ass yesterday and only am 0.25 lb up from friday which is refreshing. I need to get bikini ready in 11 days. I put my swimsuit on today and I really need to tighten my abs!! I&apos;ve been doing the &quot;bicycle&quot; move and doing daily cardio on the elliptical, anyone know of any killer ab exercises??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m thinking of starting to wake up at 6am to go to the gym cuz i&apos;m sick of a bunch of people being there after work. ANyone else have these social phobias?? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahh my tummy hurts, I think I&apos;ll go home and make some chicken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate hating myself. I wish I could just see what my boyfriend sees, but I never believe his compliments, do any of you?? Probably not,  thats why we are here. I&apos;m starting to sound like dumb now I gotta go. Hope you are all feeling better than I. Sorry for the lame post &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Stoney Boney</description>

  <description>I&apos;m doing soo well this week it suprises me, but shouldn&apos;t because i&apos;m STRONG!! I can slip my hand b/w my thighs too, (something I never imagined possible) and am 113.75 today. My doc yesterday was new to me and had my physical, everything turned out ok!! She pretty much wanted to refer me to the ED center, telling me how I should have a BMI of 20-24. And that even 18.5 is too little! Ya right. She looked wide eyed when I said i&apos;m restricting to 800-900 cals. &lt;br /&gt; My daily intake lately has consisted of oatmeal in the a.m., chicken, banana, apple, grapes, yogurt. Protein and carbs. I missed the gym yesterday and feel the bursts of energy just waiting to explode at the gym tonight!! Even my horoscope said I should go to the gym and burn energy. Honey comes into town too so I&apos;m really excited for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cals:&lt;br /&gt;Oatmeal (150)&lt;br /&gt;Banana lg (150)&lt;br /&gt;Grapes (100)&lt;br /&gt;Chicken (100)&lt;br /&gt;Apple (80)&lt;br /&gt;Yogurt (100)..............680 (havent eaten yogurt yet or apple, didn&apos;t eat all the grapes)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus....still going to burn that at the gym today. Yay me!! 2 weeks until the sexy beach where the bones will be a poppin!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Stoney Boney</description>

  <description>Hi girls! How&apos;s everyone today?? Good I hope&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so excited b/c i&apos;m at 113.25! Never thought I&apos;d see this day! whoo hoo! I am feeling great. I have my physical today which i am not so excited for. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reading these books about ana is really interesting and informational not to mention motivating as hell!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***I have a question on green tea pills: I&apos;ve been taking them for about 2 months now and am afraid that if I stop it will screw up my metabolism.

  <description>Just had my blood drawn for chol and tri testing. I&apos;m nervous!! Hopefully the results will be better than last time!! I think I stayed under 600 cals yesterday, which is AWESOME for me. I have my physical tomorrow and just got my period yesterday so hopefuly they won&apos;t make me reschedule! I am at 114.25 today, which is also amazing. I&apos;m sooo tired today, trying to sip down my water joe for some energy. I just got wasted yesterday and am loving it so far. Almost done with my other 2 ed books. Hope everyone is doing well.</description>

  <description>I guess I&apos;m dumb to think that posting in my &quot;private&quot; journal is actually private. I mean, its not like i mind if anyone reads, but lately i&apos;ve felt so embarassed that sometimes I don&apos;t want anyone to see it!! Oh well. I&apos;m doing better today and that&apos;s all that counts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really pushed myself last night and ate really well and it paid off : 116. I am happy with that I guess. Today&apos;s meal plan:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Oatmeal with grapes (150)&lt;br /&gt;*Yogurt (100)&lt;br /&gt;*Banana Lg (150)&lt;br /&gt;*Apple (80)&lt;br /&gt;*Chicken (200) I plan on makin a big ol chicken later!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minus what i&apos;ll burn at the gym :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then i&apos;m fasting tonight after 8:30 so I can get my bloodwork done for my physical on thursday. Its nice the perks working at a doctors office sometimes!! I get acces to do certain things, its nice. I&apos;m nervous b/c I had high triglycerides last summer and I WILL NOT let junk food and lack of exercise ever get the best of me again!! I&apos;ve never had a weight problem, just &quot;problem areas&quot; I guess and I didn&apos;t really make a conscious effort to exercise or cut out seriously all the sugar and carbs I used to eat. it was embarassing when I asked one of the docs &quot;what does it mean when your triglycerides are high?&quot; and hes like &quot;exercise more, take fish oil&quot; I was thinking like &quot;WHAT? You are confirming that I&apos;m a lazy lard ass?&quot; Then I think &quot;what other 20 year old even knows what their cholesterol or triglycerides are?&quot; I am not trying to be a freak, but i&apos;m worried. So I have been kicking my own ass for some time now and we&apos;ll see what happens!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m going to finish the a.m. at work here - my 1/2 day whoo hoo!! Then I&apos;m off to the gym and then to give tax man another form so hopefully I&apos;ll get another rebate on that. Then, going to look at an apartment! So many things to do, so little time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Stoney Boney</description>

  <description>Seems as though I suck. I fail myself and my life goes from extreme highs (dances) to extreme lows (Bruise, scratch) I hate this f*ed up approach that is taking place. Why do I let myself go with dan? I CAN&quot;T. Ive got sooo much on the line and my sanity and body can&apos;t take the yo-yo effect anymore. I don&apos;t want to recall all the bad shit I ate this weekend. Reeses, dilly bar, cereal, pasta, alcohol. I didn&apos;t even have the guts to weigh in today. I went to the gym yesterday AM bc I was so disgusted. Lets start over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today:&lt;br /&gt;Oatmeal (150?)&lt;br /&gt;Banana (110)&lt;br /&gt;Grapes (100)......360 to be on the rounding up side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chicken (100)&lt;br /&gt;Sandwich (170) w/o bread&lt;br /&gt;Apple (90)&lt;br /&gt;Yogurt (100)........770?? (Plus gum)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus i&apos;ll be visiting my favorite spot...the gym. Wishing myself motivation and resisting temptations. I MUST REPAIR MYSELF.</description>

  <description>(Doin a little dance) Yay me! Yay me! I got down again to 116 and my tummy looks better and i&apos;ve been working hard even though chiro said take it easy. Ha i&apos;ll do what I want!! And I got this book at the library &quot;the anorexia diaries&quot; about this mom and daughter growing up and they keep a secret journal each to themselves and it is quite interesting! Since wasted isn&apos;t back yet (It seriously must be in the hands of every girl now). I am anxiously awaiting!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stuck to my meal plan and it felt great! Going to bed with a rumbling tummy is somehow greatly satisfying. Like I can say &quot;Ha i&apos;ll show you dumb ass body&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope everyone is doing well!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will write later, i&apos;m at work and these nosy F*s keep walking around. I wish I had my own computer!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.s. this is my meal plan 4 today (I love rounding up):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Banana (110)&lt;br /&gt;*Oatmeal (maybe 120)&lt;br /&gt;*Granola bar (180)&lt;br /&gt;*Grapes (100)&lt;br /&gt;*Apple (100)&lt;br /&gt;*Chicken (200).......................(820?) - my exercises!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well see how today goes&lt;br /&gt;~Stoney boney</description>

  <description>This kind of feels lame writing to myself all the time, but i&apos;m embarassed to let everyone know how I&apos;m really doing. I need to start REALLY keeping track of my daily cal intake and make meal plans so I stay on track. Should i try to think of everything I ate yesterday? It might make me puke to try. I&apos;m going to round up cals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday:&lt;br /&gt;Oatmeal (150)&lt;br /&gt;banana (120)&lt;br /&gt;wheat thins (250 to be safe)&lt;br /&gt;Grapes (100)&lt;br /&gt;Cereal (200)&lt;br /&gt;Yogurt and cereal (250)&lt;br /&gt;Chicken w/cheese (150)&lt;br /&gt;Pickle (5)&lt;br /&gt;Reeses (200)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t want to keep going like this. I totally gave in and bought candy. Fuck me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today:&lt;br /&gt;Oatmeal (150)&lt;br /&gt;Banana (120)&lt;br /&gt;Wheat thins (150)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haha 420 so far. Plus my 2 green tea pills (that sucked when dan made a scene) and 2 bottles of water. Fuck forgot the gum, that adds like 10-20. I am going to the gym after my chiropractor apointment. I hate that I have to &quot;take it easy&quot;. I never do. God my boss is nosy.</description>

  <description>Sooo, I have been patiently waiting to hear back from the library about my book. It feels like it&apos;s been forever, but some of the copies are due w/in the next week. I checked out this one called &quot;the anorexia diaries&quot; about this girl and mom who both keep diaries and such. It looks really good. There&apos;s this dumb sticker on the front cover that says &quot;Can&apos;t put it down&quot; by Paula Abdul. I&apos;m not sure what to think of her &quot;admiting to bulemia&quot; I mean, what tv star doesn&apos;t battle with an ed? Especially a woman??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I am working now and can&apos;t start my new book yet, I will just add on to my own little journal here. It made me think of what my journal would look like if i printed out all my entries. That added to my f*ed up thinspo book.  I just need that constant reminder to not fail b/c everythning now seems to be counting on that. My looks, weight, vacation, EVERYTHING. It sounds so shallow and materialistic to say that, but it&apos;s true. I feel like if I don&apos;t work my ass off and starve this won&apos;t be looking pretty.</description>

  <description>It really sucks how you can set yourself back so much. I mean, last week I was at 115-116 and WTF!? I am back at 118-119!! I NEED TO remember I will be wearing close to NOTHING IN less than a month! Remember those bones you wanted to stick out and look so lovely?? This will NEVER Happen unless  I get my ass in gear!! Don&apos;t worry about how you&apos;ll feel, you will LOOK amazing and therefore will turn into feeling well. I am so sick of this fucking yo yo effect. I am not even brave enough to tell everyone how shitty i&apos;ve been. I am not skipping a day at the gym and I shouldn&apos;t let that be an excuse to eat! What is WRONG with me?? I shouldn&apos;t care that i&apos;m sick either. that should make me not want to ever eat again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;punishment will arise. My back hurts and throat too but you know what? I don&apos;t give a flying f. I will reach my goals and look good for this trip and then for the summer!! I need to watch my intake for this is brutal. I am also trying to prepare for my px in one week tomorrow so I have too many reasons not to do my best.</description>

  <description>Girls I really need someone to talk to. Everyone in my life all of a sudden seems to be coming down on me about my ED when I thought everyone was in the dust about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I was pestering my doc b/c he harldy eats all day and sees his patients and will have maybe an apple or saltines and so I was saying how he needs to eat more and then my boss (who found me on proanorexia LJ) said &quot;why don&apos;t we go through your intake in a day?&quot; I was SHOCKED!! Not only that she actually said it ALOUD, but in front of my doctor!! It was embarassing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then my b/f came into  town last night and him and I and my roomate were smoking and I don&apos;t know how we got on the subject but she spilled all this shit about how bad I make her feel when I put myself down or repeatedly call myself fat and I guess I don&apos;t realize i do it that much. Then she went on to say how she doesn&apos;t even like coming home sometimes cuz of the bad vibes and she goes and tells our other friends about it. They say how I don&apos;t ever go out (I work full tiem and then the gym and then i&apos;m pooped!) So I guess they are all talking about me and my &quot;Distorted self image&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like the other day when my rooomate got back from a concert and she had hardly any food at the apt and I was making an omelet for my b/f and I and she said &quot;I go to concerts and you eat&quot; and then later said she totally didn&apos;t mean it the way it sounds but of course immediately I was like &quot;fine I know I&apos;m a fatass...ect&quot; and then she got pissed and said &quot;I suggest you change your distorted self image&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday sucked b/c my boss at work and then I go home and get shit there too. I really want to move out alone. I have my kitty and thats all I need until my b/f lives here again. Aaaahh I feel so frustrated b/c no one knows what I go through everyday. I take care of people all day long and sorry if at the end of the day I want to just go home! Yea i&apos;m sure i could go out but I pay a lot of money for my apartment and I want to be there. I told her all that and she knows but I guess her and all my friends can&apos;t handle how I&apos;ve been. Shitty but oh well. She said &quot;your friends care about you a lot&quot; I was like &quot;yea right&quot;. I know they care but in a very unsensitive way. It sucks sooo much. I&apos;m glad I was an only child b/c I am used to being alone in a sense and entertaining myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just got to work and already my boss was like &quot;the students brought bagels today&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I AM SO SICK OF EVERYONE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this weekend goes better!! I drank a whole bottle of arbor mist last night (small one) but still thats 450 cals just with booze. No wonder I gained 2 lbs since yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for the mammoth of a post&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Stoney boney</description>

  <description>Heey everyone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a rough week, and I don&apos;t know why but I needed a break from here for a few days and now I again, realized how much I love reading everyones posts and letting you know whats going on. I have officially gone below my STW of 115, as the scale teeter tottered between 115.25 and 114.75, I know I know only 0.5 pounds, but still! Being 114 with anything behind it feels totally exhilerating. I am pushing myself and it is working!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I watched the biggest loser last night and it was great reverse thinspo. Those people lost so much weight!! If they can do it, ANYONE CAN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I had to put a request on &quot;wasted&quot; at the library, apparently there are 5 copies out now and 7 requests!! I guess it is a popular find. I am looking VERY forward to reading it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope everyone is feeling pretty good and reaching their goals. DOn&apos;t worry about messing  up, just do better the next time!! I felt like a pig after the weekend but I&apos;ve been at the gym everyday and not working quite as hard the days I go to the chiropractor. I&apos;m also addicted to icing my back for the pain!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B/f comes home for the weekend...whoo hoo more cals burned during whoopie!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be a great day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Stoney Boney</description>

  <description>Good morning or afternoon ladies,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didnt post yesterday but it was messed up b/c the night before I had 2 pieces of bread with some jam and then a rice cake with some jam too (in addition to the SHD) and I felt like a heffer, butttttt when I got on the scale yesterday it was a 1/2 pound lower! From 115.5 on Monday to 115 yesterday! Whoo hoo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yesterday followed the SHD a little better, just had a tiny bit of oatmeal in the A.M. and then the soup at lunch with 2 or 3 peach slices and then more soup when I got home and a few organic crackers, a pickle and 2 slices of cheese? Well..... I took my antibiotic and like 3 vitamins with this around 8:30 or so and went to bed around 9......then  I wake up at 1am and feel the most nauseated feeling and had to throw up!! It was scary b/c I don&apos;t b/p ever, and throwing up for me sucks a lot. So I&apos;m not at work now, I&apos;m supposed to call my boss back and let her know how I felt after taking another antibiotic with some food this morning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve also officially made it 24 hours pot free!! I am a stoner but I think quitting (or at least cutting back MAJORLY ) will help me reach my weight goals better. I don&apos;t know if I want to go in to work for the afternoon, but we&apos;ll see how I feel. I just had a ricecake and am about to take that fuckin horse pill of an antibiotic. THis sucks!!! Being sick sucks extra b/c i&apos;m supossed to be &quot;Feeding my body&quot; the right things and instead I&apos;m starving it and then puking up  the soup and shit...ahhh I&quot;m sorry i&apos;m going on like this I just feel like life sucks right now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My b/f is away everyweek and we only see each other on the weekends, I had to call my landlord and ask him to wait to deposite my rent check until tomorrow morning b/c the lady at target put my meds on my CHECK card, NOT my CREDIT card like I wanted!! And I CANNOT afford to overdraft 2 times in a month!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope everyones day is going better than mine. It was sure nice to sleep for like 13 or 14 hours though!! I must admit I have been feeling sleep deprived lately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love you all,&lt;br /&gt;Be a great day! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Yay I get to watch starting over today!!-a great show to escape your problems and see others for a change!) Plus the women are motivating in that I don&apos;t want what happens to them to happen to me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Stoney Boney</description>
