Fixing what I broke.

Today I woke up early to go for a jog. I chickened out though. I tell myself that I'll try agan tomorrow. But I don't think I will..

Don't worry, I did run on my treadmill though. I then did my weights/toning exercises. :) I then worked 4.5 hours tonight :)

Tomorrow I plan on exercising in the morning, then going for a reeaaaalllyyyy long walk somewhere. Not sure where to though.

I just want tomorrow to be productive.


I am water fasting again. :)

I had two binge days again. So I have to fix it.

Fasting until further notice. Hopefully I can make it through a 6.5 shift at work on Thursday, without food... Going to be super disappointed if I give in before or even then.

At the moment I am planning out my meals, or lack there of, for next week. And a little of the end of this week. The sad thing is, i want to have binge days. Then fast it off.

I am going to a concert next Wednesday. So I plan to eat two days before it and on the day. Not huge amounts. Like 100-300 cals.


I'm not feeling the affects of this water fast yet. Hoping it stays that way. But my brain is wanting food though. Just for the sake of eating. Disgusting.

Im fasting with a group of lovely people :) its great motivation. :) you can join too if you like. Just at #antifood when you tweet about fasting :)

I weighed in at 64kg (141.09 lb) thus morning.. I think it was because I had eaten right before bed and I only slept for about 4 hours.
I weighed myself tonight and I am 62.5kg (137.78 lb) so thank goodness for that. :)
Can't wait to be at my LW again, lower would be lovely. Hoping to reach that easy enough goal by the end of this fast. Definitely doable. Definitely.

Feeling a little sick at the moment. I think it's because I'm so tired. I should sleep soon.


Do whatever it takes.

Fasting update

I have no been water fasting for about 59 hours. I don't think I am even hungry. I am thirsty though. I just woke up so I haven't had any water yet.

It's all in the mind.

Yesterday I wanted to eat SO bad. My mind did, but I talked myself out of it. Because my body didn't really NEED it.

I even got to the point in telling myself that if I jogged on my treadmill then I could eat the calories I burnt. I did it too. But I had talked we essence into myself by the time I had also done crunches and showered ect.

But doing that, I also made a pact with my mind, that if I was under 60kg tomorrow morning (today now) I would allow myself to eat. (I knew it would probably turn into a binge day, but I'm ok with that. Liquid fasting for 4 days after)

Guess what. I'm under 60kg. I didn't think I would be to be honest. I was 61.3kg yesterday so I was like pshh there's no way in the world I'll lose a big number again. But I did. I am now down to 59.3kg. That's my lowest weight yet. It doesn't feel like it though. I don't feel like my body feels the same as when I reached my LW on ABC.
Maybe it's because I know as soon as I eat I'll gain.

So. I am conflicted.
Do I eat and break my fast at 60 hours. Resulting in a binge day, but making up for it with a 4 day liquid fast.
Or do I continue water fasting one more day and only eat a yogurt and an apple a day for 4 days.


My mind just really wants food. Judnckndinc

I guess if I ate today then I could get it out of my system.. But then there's the chance that I'll still want more of it in the days after..

Sorry. I'm just thinking out loud here.


I think I'll eat today. ONLY if I do my toning exercises right now and also be really good this week. The second one is harder to keep, it's in the future after all. But as long as I have it in my head that I'm not aloud to mess up, then I'll do it.

Going to start jogging in the mornings, starting tomorrow. I feel like it will be much easier then jogging on a treadmill.

Yesterday, when I was in my new workout clothes (a fitted sports top thing) he said I have a very flat stomach. I then proceeded to point out that is in fact not flat, as it sticks out at the bottom.
He said that that is just loose skin from loosing so much weight and that it will snap back in no time. I disagreed. It is fat. You can all see that from my before and after ABC pictures.
He told me to look in the mirror. I said I do look n the mirror? He then took me in front of a mirror and showed me my 'flat stomach'. I continued to point out the unflatness of it. My mother was in the room and I asked "do you see it? You see it hey?" she said she does see what I mean. That kind of hurt me but motivated me at the same time.
I think my dad felt a little annoyed at my mum because I think he suspects I have an ED. and you don't say that to someone who has an ED. He is always trying to convince me that I'm thin.


Sorry for the beyond long post.

I'm putting off eating, I think :P
I'm not going to eat until the 60 hour mark.

I need to start remembering to take my multivitimans in the morning.


Starting weight of water fast: 63.0kg (138.89 lb)
Water fast weightloss: 3.7kg (8.15 lb)

It's all I'm your mind. Be strong.

Biggest binge in the history of binges

Yesterday was horrible.

I had a tea before work. I then was like "oh, why not just have a chocolate yogurt too"

I then worked for 4 hours.

I then bought a ridiculous amount of food after work.
I put most of it in my bag before my mum saw it. I only ate one thing in the car with her. She then went to work and I ate the rest. The rubbish is still in my bag because she came home early so I didn't have time to throw it out. I had like a sandwich, banana bread, apple juice, a big cookie and a chocolate frappe.
I then had a box of cookies with hot chocolate a little white after that. I was uncomfortably stuffed again. Wanting to purge. But mum was still at home, so I couldn't.
I just kept waiting for her to leave the room or house so I could eat more.

About three hours late I had potato wedges and vegetarian dippers.
I ate the majority of what I had cooked. But had to eat the last quarter of what I did slowly and over time. I was nauseously full. But I kept eating.

I then was at the point of wanting to die because I was so full. My brother was home from school and I literally begged him to eat the rest of the food I had cooked because I was stuffed. (he didn't know I was THAT stuffed though) He happily obliged.

I then decided in that moment that I would start a water fast right then and there.

I lasted about  4.5 hours. Pathetic, I know.

I had an ice cream cone with loooootssss of ice cream.

I then had another of those.

I also had a piece of wholemeal toast with avocado on it.

Then like half an hour later, I had a piece of raisin toast with butter.
I then had another. I struggled to finish the second. I had to eat it super slow. But I ate it. Because I'm a fat arse.

That was everything I had.
The calorie count is beyond horrible.


So, today I am making up for it with a water fast. Hoping to go for 3 days. At least.

It's not a question of whether my body can handle it right now. It's just my brain. I'm going strong for now though. It's 3:30pm.

I did arm toning exercises this morning. With my new weights. I also did 120 crunches.
I was going to run on my treadmill for a while this morning as well, but I ran out of time.

I went shopping today and bought a new sports bra/top thing and sports shorts, to go jogging in. Going to start asap. If it isn't raining tomorrow I'll go then, if I'm not too light headed from fasting.
My fat arse needs it though.

If I don't start this weekend, I am starting Monday, since I have all night shifts this week, so I can get up early to go :)


I have put on an unbelievable amount of weight. But I am hoping that it will be gone by the time I finish fasting.

I weighed in at 63kg this morning. Ew.

I want to be back down to my LW of 59.5kg when I weigh in on Monday morning. Or sooner. I then am only eating 1 small apple and 1 no fat yogurt a day until I am at 55kg. Deal.

I have also made a decision to be more social. I am sick of having no social life outside of work.

I also want to go on a holiday. To a really nice beach. It will be my motivation.

All I need is one good day. Then I'll be back on track. Just one day. I can do this.




Fix what has been ruined.

First time purging. Kind of.

Yesterday and the day before I ate a lot. But it was pretty much all fruit and veggies. I even lost weight.
Today I ate a lot. It was pretty much not fruit and veggies.
I was boredom eating pretty much. All day.

My body couldn't take it anymore once I had finished my second helping of dinner. I ate every bite. While my body was screaming at me to stop. I just didn't. My mind was saying 'just one fat day and then you can back to restricting. It'll boost your metabolism'
It fricking better boost it. That mind of thinking made me scoff down everything and anything. Because 'I'll make up for it. So why not'

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!

I went to sit on the couch and watch tv when I had finished dinner. Like the fat pig I am, and I just stood there for a few seconds. I seriously thought I was going to throw up all over the floor. I decided I needed some privacy. In case I did throw up everywhere. So I took a shower. So my family wouldn't suspect anything.
I was in a world of discomfort. I couldn't stand up straight because I was so stuffed. I decided I needed to try and purge. Even though I had tried plenty of times in the past and had been unsuccessful.
It only took me about two trys and I got a significant amount up in one gag. I then could only get little bits up after that. Dinner consisted of rice with sauce. Rice. Omfg. One of the hardest foods to get up, for even the most experienced of purgers. I started to panick and had a bit of a breakdown. During this breakdown I decided I needed to get clean again. I decided that I'm only drinking tea with a tiny bit of skim milk in it for the next three days.
I didn't get up even a quarter of dinner. But I did get up some. And you know what. I'm proud of myself for doing that. I just wish I had some lax.. But I have work early tomorrow, so that'd be a mistake.
I am still in discomfort. I am curled up in a ball in bed. I still can't stand up straight comfortably.
I do believe my throat will be sore in the morning.

All I could think of while I was having a bit of a mini breakdown in the shower was that I never wanted to eat again.
But you know what; as my stomach is settling down, all I can think of is eating after I finish work tomorrow. 'having control'. F*ck you mind. F*ck you.

I'm never going to let myself eat that much again.



To be clear; I don't think this is an aftermath of ABC. I think this is just the way of my eating disorder. Of my mind. Thinking that I can 'eat normally' with control, but I get too cocky and go overboard.

I think this just makes me more determined.


P.S. not sure if I am going to be blogging every single night like I was for ABC. I only will if something worth blogging about happens. :)
Oh! Also, I got invited to go on a holiday in late November of this year. It's at a beach, so I need to be all toned and bikini ready by then! No excuses! I've got plenty of notice!

AAANNDD, I don't remember if I tweeted or blogged about this, either way, I have mostly night shifts next week, so I am going to start jogging in the morning! :D I just need to get a fitting sportsbra! :S


Push through it.

Way too much room for over eating on this fruit and vegetable diet I was planning on doing for 10 days. After today I am starting the 2-4-6-8-0 diet :) Until March. :)

I feel like I'm forgetting to put something into this post..


Never give up.

ABC Day 50 - A feeling of accomplishment

The last day of ABC. Woah. I feel like it's more of a lifestyle than a diet now a days though.
Looking back, it seems like it went by really quickly..

I will post before, during and after pictures tomorrow. Along with before and after measurements and weight.

Like a 'in conclusion' blog.


So, today was a fast day. To tell you the truth, I have pretty much no energy right now. I think it's because I worked out this morning..
I know right! Shocking much! :P

Food diary:

Water.

Limit: 0 calories.
Total: 0 calories.


So, for the remaining 10 days of this month I have decided to do a fruit and veggie diet. (sorry if I mentioned that yesterday, I can't remember..)
I stocked up on fruit and vegetables today, so yay :)

Then in March, I am going to of course keep my calories low, but I am going to try new recipes and foods. Whilst staying vegetarian. :)

I am going to try and eat lots of iron rich fruit and veggies, to try and clear up the bruises that cover my legs. Literally. :\

So, for exercise this morning; I did 1 minute of jumping jacks, 1 minute of jumping around dancing and what not. Then 20 minutes on the treadmill and 20 squats. I burnt 82 calories. Not as much as I would have liked. But it's something.

Mum is buying me some weights tomorrow, to tone up my arms :)

Going to alternate cardio and strength days.

My family is eating dinner at the moment. Both of my parents asked what I was having for dinner, before. I just said "I dunno".
When I say that, I think they assume that I'm not eating. Because I ALWAYS know what I am going to have.

Just realized I still have to make my salad for tomorrow's lunch. Gah, I just want to go lay in my bed.
Oh well, it doesn't take too long.

I've drunk a decent amount of water today. But I could have probably drank more.
Going to go drink some after I finish typing this. I just realized how thirsty I am..

Hoping to get down to 55kg by the end of February.


Weight-loss today: 0.2kg (0.44 lb)
ABC weight-loss: 11.6kg (25.57 lb)
Weight: 59.5kg (131.17 lb)


Anything can be accomplished.

ABC Day 49 - YAY YAY YAY!

Not only YAY because it's the second last day of ABC! YAY because I went thrift store shopping today, and it turns out I've dropped 2 sizes while on the ABC diet! AAANNNDDD I'm below 60kg! FINALLY! :D

I took mum to get our pedicures today, for her birthday. I also decided to make that my reward for reaching my original GW. :) Along with all of the clothes I bought today. I got SOOO much for under $30! :D

I feel like today was super productive. The only thing that would have made it better; was if I exercised. But normally, on my days off of work, I just sit around at home. So it was nice to get out for once :)


I realized that I have to get up at 5am for work on Monday; the day after I finish ABC. I was planning to measure myself and take progress pictures then.. So.. yeah I don't know.. I was thinking just get up 15 minutes early? Maybe 20.. just in case.. it shouldn't take THAT long though.. I hope not anyway..

Fasting tomorrow! :D

Still so unsure of what I am going to do after ABC! It's so close though!
I am trying to find instant oatmeal that you just have to add boiling water to, so I can eat it at work. To do the oatmeal diet.. But I can't find any that you don't have to microwave.. :\

I will definitely make a decision before my parents go shopping tomorrow.

Breakfast:
2 egg whites.

Also, I'm trying to find somewhere in Australia to buy Nike bras.. does anyone know where to get them?.. They aren't on the online Australian Nike store.. so.. I'm not sure..

Keen to be under 130 lb :D

ABC Day 48

Two days left. It's unbelievable.

At the moment I am going over some diet options for after ABC. I was just going to eat whatever and just keep under 500 cals, varying it each day. But I think I want to go with something more structure... I'm thinking Russian Gymnast Diet? Or cabbage soup diet? But I need to find a cpvegetarian cabbage soup diet if I do.. I've never had tofu.. So I'm not sure what to substitute the meat for..

Today I came home and slept for. Couple of hours. I was s tired. I still am.

I keep getting cramps in my calves. I was half asleep and told mum. She asked. E if I'm still taking my vitamins, I told her I wasn't because when I was taking both my heart felt funny. She suggested to just take the multivitamin one because that has magnesium in it, which helps prevent cramps. Or something like that anyway.

Getting a pedicure with mum tomorrow. Have to get up early to wash my hair and what not. At the moment I can't even think about going out tomorrow. Work wore me out this week.

1 piece of whole meal toast.

ABC Day 47

I worked from 6am until 1pm today. I was in THE best mood all day at work. It was great! I'm not really sure why though! :P

I don't feel like I'm on a diet anymore.. Like all fresh and clean.. It's like my body is so used to the restriction of food that it just doesn't feel like I'm restricting anymore.. This leads me to thinking; should I cut down even more?...
Maybe it's because I don't drink enough water? That may be it.. I'd be lucky to have dupe inked 5 cups today.. At the very most.. :S
Going to try and drink heaps more tomorrow. It's somewhat hard though. Because of work.. But I'll try and work around it :)


Food diary:

Breakfast:
1.5 mini quiches.
A little taste of custard.

A 9 hour shift tomorrow.. Yay for the money and distraction from food. But boo if it goes super duper slow...

Fridays are usually pretty busy though. :)
I start at 5am. So I have to get up at 4am :/ so I don't expect to lose weight tomorrow. I never seem to when I have to weigh in super early in the morning.


Weight-loss today: 0.4kg (0.88 lb)

ABC Day 46

Today was busy.

I woke up late because my phone decided to turn itself off during the night. Even though it had a full batterie from being on charge.. My dad woke me up after realizing I wasn't getting ready. So iPad 5 minutes to rush and get ready.
I was then super tired at work all morning.
I then came home and nad a half an hour nap. My sister and her fiancé came over and was chatting to my mum, so it took me a while to fall asleep.
I then went to the salon and finally got my hair cut! :D that took a couple of hours.
I then went home to guzzle down a cup of water and then I went to a meeting at work. Which lasted a couple of hours.
Then I came home and it was dinner time and all the rest that come along with night time.
I am now in bed more than ready to go to sleep.

I had gained when I weighted in this morning. I am hoping it was because I drank water later than usual last night, and weighed in at like 4:45 this morning.. I don't expect to lose tomorrow morning. Peter though. Another ear,ya start. Same with the day after that too..

Getting a LEDs ure with my mum (her birthday present from last month) on Saturday :) I've never gotten one before.. For some reason I am nervous.. Haha :P

I don't have enough lettuce left for my lunch tomorrow. So I have had to improvise. I worked it out in the end though :)

Oh! The workers at the salon I go to kept commenting on how much weight I have lost! :D made me feel good! :)


I have recently developed a dislike to how I smile.. I used to kind of like it and accept it. Now I don't really like it at all.. Not sure why the change though.. O.o

4 days left! :D

ABC Day 45

I feel a binge lingering, waiting to pounce. Going to be strong and hopefully it will pass in no time.

I got called into work today. At 5:30am. So I didn't end up eating until like 1:30pm or so.

I made quiche  today. It is amazing. I didn't go overboard on it though. I only had the amount I had planned on allowing myself. It could have turned into a binge. But I didn't let it.

Lunch:
2 mini quiche.
Roasted cauliflower.

Snacks:
5 cordial ice cups.
Frozen banana.

Busy day tomorrow. Work in the morning for 5.5 hours, then I'm getting my hair cut (that usually takes a couple of hours, with the washing, cutting and styling) and then I have to go to a meeting for work straight after that. Then It's around about dinner time. Haven't had a busy day in a while.. I usually just work and then do nothing at home the rest of the day..

ABC Day 44

I feel like I don't have much to blog about today. But I'm sure it'll turn into a gigantic post as usual :P

I worked for 5 hours this morning. It was super slow though. So I didn't burn as many calories as usual.

When I got home, I didn't allow myself to consume any calories until I had done 100 crunches and 10 reverse crunches. Going to do them as soon as I wake up tomorrow :)

Food diary:

Breakfast:
1 rice cake with avocado spread.

Lunch:
Salad.

Snacks:
3 cordial ice cups.
Small frozen banana.

Dinner:
Egg white omlette.

Total: 199 calories.
Limit: 200 calories.


Going to make some egg white quiche tomorrow. 33 calories each :) Hopefully they turn out alright.. haha :P

I really need to go bra shopping. I only have like one or two that aren't too big now.. and those that do somewhat fit were too small before. Yay for progress, but not for my bank account :P

Also, I only have like one pair of shorts that fit. Well, the last time I tried them on they fit.. Not as tight of course. But they're the only ones that are wearable in public.
AND I bought a belt to go around my waist with a dress late last year, and I tried it on just the other day. It is loose now! I was like 'woah!' It used to fit snugly!


Really in the mood for cooking. But I don't want to cook anything like baking or whatever, because I don't want to be tempted to binge on it. Only cooking safe foods for now.

Told you it would be a long post ;P

Gained. Not entirely sure why.. it's so frustrating.

Weight-gain today: 0.3kg (0.66 lb)
ABC weight-loss: 10.4kg (22.92 lb)
Weight: 60.7kg (133.82 lb)

Think about it; no one ever regrets working out.

ABC Day 43 - 100th post!

Happy 100th post to me! :D thank you to each and every one of you that take the time to read me posts! :D

I did 100 crunches and 20 reverse crunches today. That's the only exercise I did though. I got really motivated to do so e form of exercise after looking at thinspo tumblr's. :)

I asked my mum if she could look around for a medicine ball for me and today she came home with an exercise ball.. Like a blow up one. You know?
Well, hat would be great. Except I already have one.. And she knows I do.. So yeah.. Idk. She's going to return it haha :P


I didn't get all too hungry today.
Omlettes are super filling :3

After today, there is only 7 days left of the ABC diet. 1 week. Woah.

I'm excited for the accomplishment of it. But I'm kind of nervous. Nervous that I'll go food crazy. Yet on the other hand; I don't think I will.. I feel like ABC has taught me control. But you can never really tell what will happen with Ana.

I started working on my food plan for after ABC. I was just kind of adding food that I think will be quite enough and it actually stayed somewhat low cal. Ranging from 300 to 500. 500 seems like a scary big amount though.. So I might have to alter that..
I also plan to only eat liquids one day. And also water fast on one aswell.

I am wanting to try Greek yogurt also. :) Although it is pretty high calorie.. That is what is bumping the calories up so much. But it would Benefit me so much. Because I've been not eating as much nutrients as I could be..
Maybe I should just leave that until after February?.. Yeah I think I might..

Hoping to be 60kg by Wednesday, it's when I am finally getting my hair cut. I want it to be a reward. May or may not cancel if I haven't reached that goal yet.

ABC Day 42

I have found a new love; egg white omelettes!
I had so many today. But yet I still kept way under my calorie goal :)

I got called into work today. So I worked for 4 hours. I was on the more active station too. So yay for calorie burning :D

I worked until 11pm. The only problem with that is that it messes up my sleeping pattern ( I was JUST getting into a pattern too :\) and also that means I consume liquids late. I'm also thirsty after work, so I have water.. It'll probably make me gain in the morning.. But at least I'll know it's water weight.. But still.:\
(that's why this post is so late tonight)

I also did 100 crunches today.

(All of the egg white omlettes had different fillings. I'll probably post a recipe on my recipe page when I get it up)


I unexpectedly lost this morning. I was honestly surprised when I looked at the number. I just didn't feel like I would have lost. But I'm definitely happy that I did, of course. :)

I really want to get a medicine ball. So I can do laying down push up things. I say it on The Biggest Loser. :P I am absolutely terrible at push ups. So hopefully that would be a good alternative to me. I'm going to look around for one :)

It's feeling impossible to get below 60kg right now. It's like I just can't seem to get low enough :\


Weight-loss today: 0.7kg (1.54 lb)
ABC weight-loss: 10.7kg (23.58 lb)
Weight: 60.4kg (133.15 lb)

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so proud of you.

ABC Day 41 - Home stretch!

Only 10 days left after today!


Today, at the end of day 41, I feel in need of a fast. But there isn't one scheduled until next Sunday. The last day of ABC.

Going to try and keep it light tomorrow.

I feel like I'm having a salt overdose. But I don't know why. I don't really eat all that much salt..? O.o

I worked for 8.25 hours today. Burning lots of calories :D

But I doubt that I'll lose tomorrow. I just feel like I'll gain.. Maybe because I recently ate and drank water.. So I don't feel empty.. Hm. Maybe.

Seriously all I can freaking taste is salt! Ugh wtf. It's making me feel sick and yuck.

Food diary:

Breakfast:
1 plain rice cake.

ABC Day 40

I've been craving fruit lately. So I am thinking about doing a fruit and dairy diet for the 10 days of February left after the ABC diet.

Today I worked for 6.5 hours, I was on a more active station today, so I would have burnt more calories :)

My lunch was also smaller.

Feeling like I could eat a mountain of food though.. So random. Haven't really had cravings this whole diet.. So it's super strange. Might be because it's that time of the month AGAIN. My body is so out of wack. I've been getting my period every second week three times now. Not. Cool.

A co-worker noticed and mentioned my weightloss today. Made my day. :)

I didn't end up getting my hair cut today. Don't know when I'm going to get it cut now.


Food diary:

Breakfast:
2 rice cakes, plain.

Lunch:
Salad.

Snacks:
4 cordial ice cups.
Frozen small banana.
Skim milk.

Dinner:
2 slices of tomato.
1 rice cake.
A quarter of a piece of lite cheese.
Tomato cup of soup.

Total: 322 calories.
Limit: 350 calories.

Burnt way over that. So yay :)


Even though I've been eating quite comsitently and quite a bit. I've still been getting head spins..? O.o

Woke up really cold this morning. My mum said she was hot. So she wouldn't put her car window up. -.-


Weightloss today: 0kg (0 lb)
ABC weightloss: 10.4kg (22.92 lb)

ABC Day 39

Today was interesting.

I started work at 7am. I had a rice cake before work; for breakfast.
But a couple or so hours later I seriously felt like I was going to vomit. Like my breathing became like it does right before you throw up. Not sure how to explain it..
I thought I was going to have to be sent home.
But it passed. Thank goodness. I felt even better after I had my meal break.

I also felt short of breath today. Not sure why though..

I only got about 4 hours of sleep last night.
I gained weight.
I think my weight-loss has to do with how much sleep I get. Because I seem to lose a whole lot more when I sleep longer..
I need to regulate my sleeping pattern again.


Food diary:

Breakfast:
1 plain rice cake.

Lunch:
Salad (lettuce, beet root, coleslaw)

Dinner:
Potato bake.

Snacks:
2 cordial ice cups.
Small frozen banana.
Lettuce.

Total: 399 calories.
Limit: 400 calories.

I worked for 6.5 hours today. That is the only exercise I got. I planned on going for a long walk this afternoon, but mother nature decided it was time for rain. And lots of it.

I don't feel like I'll lose tomorrow.
But it'll just make me more determined.


Keen for some sleep. Another early and long day tomorrow. AND hopefully getting my hair styled/trimmed for the first time in nearly a year! :P :)

I feel like I'm going to be more motivated with a hair cut. Like I'll want to be as skinny as I can. Because if I'm skinny then my hair will look even better! :D


Weight-gain today: 0.4kg (0.88 lb)
ABC weight-loss: 10.4kg (22.92 lb)
Weight: 60.7kg (133.82 lb)


Take care.

ABC Day 38

My hair is so dry.. It's like I've straightend it to death. But I haven't used any heat products on it for nearly a year.:S going to get it trimmed ASAP. Hopefully it helps or something.. I started taking Hair Skin Nails tablets yesterday so yeah.

My dad won't shut up about my weight. He plain out asked me how much I have to lose until I'm at my GW (I've been 'dieting'for a while. I used to be obese) I said "but then you'll know my weight." (to try and get him off my back because otherwise he would want me to stop 'dieting' if he knew how close I was to the GW that I tell them. He replied with "no I won't. I don't kw yu goal weight" me: "don't lie. I told you it yesterday." brother: "it's 60 right? 60kg? Am I right? Is it 60?" I then ignored them and continued what I was doing. With my brother ruining my dads ambush.
He was going on all afternoon about how I am just 'skin and bones'
Wtf. No I'm not. I'm not even close. I guess I cover my fat well, and only let my alright parts of my body show. Like my collar bones for instance. They're looking pretty nice :) but my stomach and legs are still looking disgusting. I can see progress in them. Just not enough yet.


Food diary:

Lunch:
Roasted cauliflower.

Snacks:
Tea with milk. (only drank a few sips though.)
3x cordial ice cups.

Dinner:
Potato wedges.

Dessert:
Frozen banana (is so good!)

Total: 417 calories.
Limit: 450 calories.


Exercise: 100 crunches.


I'm going to start going for 5k walks with my dad again. Hopefully it helps make my thighs and stomach look better. Because I am so slack at using my treadmill. I get so bored on it :/ I need a new playlist I think.. Or someone to keep me entertained. :)

I am also going to try and eat whatever I eat in my day in front of my parents. Especially my dad. To try and get him off of my back.
When I had finished my frozen banana, I was like "that was so good!" he was like "well at least that's something you like eating then.."
So my parents are probably going to buy heaps of bananas now. But I can't eat them too often because of the calories in them.. And I've already it my diet plan worked out for the tpnext two weeks.


Sorry for the ridiculously long post!


Weight-loss today: 0.3kg (0.66 lb)

ABC Day 37

Today went well.
I ate one rice cake when I woke up for work at 5am. I then didn't have solids until about 6:45pm. The only thing I had in between was ice cups and water :)

I didn't exercise. I had pretty much no energy, because I kept waking up like ever 2 hours last night, worried that I would sleep through my alarm.

My dad has taken a liking to calling me 'Bones'. He says "you've got bones sticking out everywhere!"  I don't though. I wish.
I think I might need to start covering up more.. It'll be easier in winter. It's just so hot right now.
He was also saying "you don't want to die from Anorexia, do you now."
And asked me how much more I want to lose. I told him I just want to get to 60kg (wanting to get to 50kg now though) and he was like "how much do you weigh now?" Me: "not 60. More than 60." Dad: "How far off?" Me: Why do you want to know anyway?" Dad: "You can't be too far off. You're all bones" Me: "No I'm not." End.

ABC Day 36

I love fasting.

I didn't even feel hungry today.
It's great.

I am going to tomorrow though. Plus I have work.

Food diary:

Nothing but water.

Total: 0 calories.

I got some Skin, Hair and Nails vitamins today :) hopefully they work.


I got my roster for next week. That means I now have the rest of the ABC diet food plan worked out :)

Lots of calories this week. More than I'm used to. It's a 500 calorie day tomorrow. Woah.

I gained. I'm not surprised by it though. Considering how late I ate. It's not as much as I thought it would be either.

ABC Day 35

Today was a calorie burning sort of day :)

When I woke up I got on the treadmill. I didn't last all too long though.. I need to find a way to entertain myself while I'm on it. I burnt 43 calories on the treadmill.

I then had breakfast.

I had planned to eat something else aswell, before work, but I got called in a few hours early.

I burnt about (underestimating) 763 calories at work. :)

I was under my calorie limit by heaps by the end of the day. So I ate when I got home from work. Even though it was super late. But I thought it'd be in my best interest to try and get my metabolism up and running.

Fasting day tomorrow :) which is also a factor as to why I decided to et so late.

Anyway.


Food diary:

Breakfast/lunch:
Uncle Toby's Oats.

Dinner:
Salad.

Snacks:
1 cordial ice cup.
Uncle Toby's Oats.
4 rice cakes with Vegemite.

I expect to gain when I weigh in tomorrow morning. As a result of eating so late. But hopefully it will all be good because I'm fasting tomorrow :)

Oh! As of today, I have lost EXACTLY 10kg on the ABC diet! :D I'm so happy! :) When I realized, during the day, I just couldn't wipe the grin off of my face. It was a great feeling!

Tomorrow, I don't start work until 5pm, so I plan to get on the treadmill as soon as I wake up. Note the word plan.

The back of my legs are really tight today :\ Even though I do warm up and cool down exercises every time I workout..

I burnt about 464 calories at work. Not definite though. Could be more. Could be less.

ABC Day 33 - Disbelief

When I weighed in this morning, I had to weigh myself a few times. Just to make sure. I was in disbelief. But the number stayed the same. I only lost 0.1kg (0.22 lb) After a full day of fasting. What. The. Actual. Fugicals.

It's 9pm as I am typing this. I just had a scorching hot shower. It was nice, relaxed my muscles and made me sleepy and all ready for bed. :)

But for some reason I'm in a bit of a dull mood.. not sure why. I think I'm brightening up now. May have just been the hot shower. Bringing back memories of the dark days.

Didn't end up hanging with my friend. She bailed at the last minute. Whatever.

Not too much to update on today.


Food diary:

Breakfast:
2 thin rice cakes with vegemite.

Snacks:
3x cordial ice cups.
Plain thin rice cake.

Dinner:
1 piece of wholemeal toast.
Sweet chili sauce.
Egg white.
1 thin rice cake with vegemite.

Total: 229 calories.
Limit: 250 calories.

My sister found a cheap gym she is thinking about joining, if her fiance doesn't want to join with her then she asked me to :)  Not sure if I will, because I don't think she'd go very much.. (she's obese and not really active at all at the moment)

Oh! I worked out today :)  I burnt 126 calories :)  Most of it was strength training, with a little cardio. I'm trying to become more toned :)

Hopefully tomorrow I have lost something. Even 0.1kg would be fine. I'll be at a new LW if I lose :)

Weight-loss today: 0.1kg (0.22 lb)
ABC weight-loss: 9.2kg (20.28 lb)

ABC Day 32 - Surprises

Oh how I love how easily I fasted today.
I work up. Went to work for 4 and a half hours (burning quite a few calories!) I then came home and was checking my social networking sites and what not. I then cooked dinner for the family, watched some tv, had a shower and now I am in bed typing this :)

I think working most of my day made it easy :) because I was distracted.
I was silly to think that I would have trouble fasting because I was working!

So calorie intake for today is 0. :D

Quick question; when you guys fast, do you only drink water or do you drink diet drinks, coffee, tea ect? 0 cal drinks? Because I only drink water. That is what fasting is to me.. But I know some people drink 0cal drinks.. I call that liquid fasting.. But idk :) I guess it's just preference or something.

I didn't do any exercise apart from work. How slack of me. I know.

Didn't even really get hungry today. Although my stomach did rumble at one stage during work. But it was right in the middle of a rush, so I soon forgot about it.

Tomorrow I am seeing someone that I haven't seen in months. I wonder if she'll notice my weightloss..

I didn't drink enough water today. The water at work tasted a bit funny today. The first few drinks I had during my shift were alright, but then I got another and it tasted funny. A little while later I was super thirsty s I got some more water and it still tasted funny. So I just waited until I got home. But then I got distracted by my iPad for a while. So yeah. I didn't drink much at all.

I actually lost weight. I can't believe that I did. I was 100% expecting to gain because it was such a high calorie difference to what I have been eating. I was honestly shocked when I saw the number.


Weight-loss today: 0.5kg (1.10 lb)
ABC weight-loss: 9.1kg (20.06 lb)
Weight: 62.0kg (136.68 lb)

Never underestimate your body.
