ABC.. easy as 123! pft. yeah right.

[x_behaviour]

after much debate and way too much thinking, i've decided to give this another go. each time i do this i fall in love with it, and the only reason i've ever stopped before is that i had no one to hold me accountable. so that's why i've decided to start posting on here again. well wishes, tips, and the like are gladly welcomed. oh, and i guess i should give y'all the stats. i'm fifteen years old, 5ft 8in, and weigh about 160 lbs. yeah, ik, i'm such a fatass. hopefully this is the kickstart i need.

good luck to you!! dont be discouraged if you eat more than the allowed calories per day, also, try and stay as close as you can to the calorie intake during the first couple of weeks, so that your body gets used to it. otherwise you might not find yourself hungry one week, but the next...oh god.

Good Luck!!

Wanna do it together? Today is my day 2 on the abc diet and we're almost the same. I'm 15, 5'6" and 150lbs! :)

[x_behaviour]

thanks, guys(: i have a lot of trouble staying very close to the daily calorie amounts cos i guess i think that the higher up and closer i am to it, the more likely i am to screw up. take today for example:

B: propel - 10 calories
mint - 20 calories

L:salad - 60 calories
black coffee - 2 calories

for a total of 92 calories. when i have 500 for the day. so yeah, need to work on that...

and sure, rheller5594, i'd love to do it together. that'd actually probably help a lot.

EDIT: so i ate dinner around five.. had an egg and some lettuce, 150 calories. done for today at 242. tommorrow i'll need so much coffee.. and excercise. funny thing is i haven't even really been hungry today.. usually the first day is the worst for me.

today wasn't so bad. the hunger was worse than yesterday, but i'm trying to space out my "meals" more to keep my metab going. plus it helped that i played hockey today and had a dance rehearsal for a musical i'm in. i'm getting discouraged as the day goes on.

B: cereal - 73 cals
L: salad - 20 cals
D: tomato soup - 90 cals

[x_behaviour]

fuck it all.

Today was day three, 300 cals. i was doing fine, only having about seventy calories before three o clock. before play rehearsal, my friends decided to buy a pretzel for me and force me to eat it, despite my claim that i didn't feel well. then i got home and my mother forced a piece of lasagna down my throat. Fml.

now i can't decide if i should just keep going with 400 cals tommorrow, or if i should eat normally for a few days until they stop watching me eat

[Secret-Obsession]

Don't worry about it. You can't help that people made you eat. You can try and stick to your 400cal limit, but just eat in front of you family and friends and such.. It might help them. And also, you could say you have extra rehearsals and leave before dinner and ask for money to get something on the way. But save the money up and use it on something else for yourself.

Good luck

Thanks secret-obsession.. i ate half my calories in front of my friends and i'll probably let myself eat one hundred in front of my mom. i think tommorrow i'll end up drinking diet soda for lunch, eating a little at home, but i'll tell my mom i'm not feeling well. i'd lie about rehearsal, but i live 20 minutes away from my school and don't have my liscence yet.

[x_behaviour]

ugh. my mother drives me insane.
i got home from school and she's making dinner.. fries and ginormous burgers with god knows how many calories. i've always been neurotic about not eating fried foods, so i shot her a look and said that i refused to eat that. She didn't even look at me and simply said "mandi, you need to eat." i told her i needed to eat healthy. she told ne to eat my dinner. i told her no, she couldn't make me, and have locked myself in my room, spraying the whole place with perfume so i can't smell the food cooking. the fact that my mom is trying to keep me fat is so motivating, but i still wish someone would understand here

[justlikethem.]

hey sorry to just kinda join this
id love to do the abc thing but always end up messing it up, by like 10 cals or so either way, & then i feel bad, so eat to compensate... so. :/

Can you take over the cooking for your house? You can say that you want the whole family to be healthier and design the grocery shopping list and do the cooking. Steamed veggies are very low cal and filling so no one will go hungry.

Hi Mandi, your mom situation is so frustrating! Here's what I did when I was in high school and didn't want to eat the gross fatty food my family tried to force on me- I would complain about how much work I had for school all the time, and then ask to make a big plate of whatever they were eating and take it to my room and eat it there so I could "work on my homework". They ALWAYS let me and they never thought I was lying about eating. I would wrap the food up in paper towels or baggies that I hid in my room, always making sure to leave just a bit on the plate so it didn't look suspicious. Then after everyone had been asleep for a while, I'd sneak out and throw the food in the garbage. This worked for two years, it might work for you!

Your doing really well... my mom is the same way with food and eating. keep up with the good work!
