[Passion4perfection]

Thank you guys so much for being so nice and supportive! I appreciate it so much <3
I am having a hard time with the whole situation.. today me and my family had to go through her stuff figuring out what to do with it all. I had a hard day today and it was such a painful experience emotionally to remember all the memories and everything we had together. But I very much love you all and thank you for being here for me and understanding xxxx

Aside from that I did actually do okay today. I was too upset to eat. I had:
apple: 80
toast: 85
almonds: 55
Total: 220 Like I said I could hardly bring myself to eat any more than that without throwing up.

I really blew it at the wedding... I did great until the night when I drank sooo much and later ate a huge pizza with the bridal party. I had a fantastic time tho, so I'm going to try to not dwell and let it ruin my momentum.

Hope you guys ate doing okay and sorry to read about your loss passion4perfection. My dad passed away 2 years ago and i dealt with it by eating. Whatever you need to do to get through will be okay. <3

yesterday was a success!
jen22 i am glad you had fun, and good for you for not letting it get you down, you certainly deserved it.
i am doing alright so far today. but i am scared to fail. i got in a fight with my dad, he was yelling at me, saying i need to eat and that i look sick. 'i hope you aren't getting-what do you call it? anorexia?' ugh. i can't handle him. i am trying to stay as strong as i can. love you all. you're so strong :')

So I honestly have no idea how I've done today with my 400 calorie day today. I went out for brunch/lunch with my visiting BFF, and the place where we went doesn't have any calorie counts for their stuff.

So I decided that even though I don't really like the idea of restarting, I'm just going to restart on Monday. But I've only had that one meal today (it was three crepes with asparagus and mushrooms on them, which I think could have been done in a not-too-high-cal manner [you know, if I were the one making it....], but there was a lot of oil on the plate, so I think it probably had way more calories than it should have :-/ So I'm pretty sure that that was more than 400 calories, so even though it was the only thing I've eaten, today would probably be a fail day.

So I'm just restarting tomorrow.

And I'm keeping myself away from the whole mentality of "Well, if I'm going to screw up, I might as well do it 'properly' and just go way overboard." So that's good :-)

[perfectdisaster]

that sounds like a good attitude CF good luck!

everyone still with us--What day are you on?

yesterday ended up being a success for me and now today--day thirteen i am doing great so far 200/400 if i do say so myself--i am pretty proud of my progress x

stay strong lovelies. x

Thanks, perfect disaster!

My calorie count for today is 650, which is obviously 150 over what Day One is supposed to be, but Day One is really designed to help you ease into the rigor of ABC, and today was the last day that my bff was here, and so we went out for lunch at Olga's. I got the little cup of soup (which comes with a side of snackers), and that baby alone clocked in at 500 calories! (that's what I get for not looking up stuff beforehand ... I should have gone with an undressed salad). So I had that, and my 100 calories of rice crispies that I had for breakfast, and a 50-calorie little chocolate chip cookie.

But it's OK because walking there and back to Olga's was 5 miles; 2.5 each way :-)

So my total for Day 1 is: 650 calories, 5 miles walked

So I'm counting today a success.

[perfectdisaster]

thanks! and good job!

today was a success--320/400

[collegefattie]

Awesome.

What did you eat?

[brighteyed]

I've been non-stop b/p for the past day and a half. On only low calorie foods (like lettuce), but still, with all the characteristic signs of a binge. Purging has made me puffy and bloated. Laxatives are destroying my insides.

I want to be thin, but I don't know how do regain control without purging. I'm afraid that eating anything at all will make me gain. i need to cleanse and detox and stop with this crap. i hardly know where to start to stop this.

I'm fasting tomorrow, for real. I broke my toilet purging so it's no longer an option until it's fixed anyway.

am i the most pathetic, disgusting person in the world?

[perfectdisaster]

CF! i ate tortilla (tostito?) multigrain chips with salsa (200) and stir fry which was just peppers, mushrooms, onions, and some tofu, in soy sauce (130!) it was great haha.

brighteyed, it sounds like you had a poor day--i am really sorry for that! however today is a new day, and hopefully that can motivate you-best of luck on your fast today! i have faith in you being successful

i haven't eaten yet today--dinner will be in an hour or two, which makes me happy--because i can have a decent night because i didn't waste any calories.

anyway today was my first day of classes (grade eleven!) and a girl i am pretty friendly with came up and told me that it looked like i had lost a lot of weight this summer! She went on about how great i was looking! it was the sweetest thing! and it really made my day. to be honest it is the first time anyone has really said anything about my weight, quite happy. hope you are all doing well <33 x
