I had no internet all day. It was so frustrating! I wanted to share my good news with all of you. Not only did I do my water fast but I felt great! I wasn't dizzy or disoriented at all. I did have a mild headache on and off but I felt so GOOD and hardly any hunger at all. I only did 15 minutes on the bike but that's more than I've done on other water fasts. I weighed in at 138.8 yesterday morning and 137.2 this morning!
I decided not to have anything to drink after midnight either for a grand total of 33 hours without a single calorie. Unfortunately, I woke up feeling like absolute shit. I had a fever and could hardly stand. Parts of my body kept going numb. My blood sugar felt okay yesterday but over night my hypoglycemia got the best of me and my blood sugar crashed to dangerously low levels. So I broke my fast for half a can of chicken noodle soup and I'll have a small dinner. I'm allowing myself upto 1000 calories today (although I'm not sure I can make myself drink that much after the last few days of fasting and restriction) to get my sugars stable again then it's back to restriction tomorrow. I'm just going to play it by ear today, do the minimum of what I need to do for my health.
I'd like to thank all of you who suported me. It means so much. I love you all, my skinnies!

On My Way To A Lovely Me
I did my first official all-day liquid fast!!! I almost didn't get away with it because my parents kept trying to make me eat but no food passed my lips. Today I had a glass of milk, hot cocoa, a protein drink, and some crystal light for a total of 430 calories. I'm totally psyched for my 24 hour water fast tomorrow. Not one calorie all day, not even gum.
I'm no where near where I hoped to be. In fact, I shamefully admit that I'm still 140 but tomorrow I'm hoping to be 139 and working toward 136 or 135 by the fourth when I'll be premiering this absolutely fab top I've been waiting months. Single strap, flashy beads, and red so it's perfect for independance day ;P. I think I'll be at the beach July 11th based on my and my family's work scheduals so I need to be no more than 133lbs when I don my tiny bikini. Then I'll be swimming at my friend C's pool and I'm planning on going to the beach again with her so I've got to lose lots and lots of weight really fast. Most of all, I don't want all my new friends at college to think of me as a fat slob so I need to be the skinniest me I can be before I move into my dorm!
Anyways, wish me lots of strength mentaly and physically. Love ya all.

Push It!
I did the 500 calories yesterday and today. I have the next three days off work and not much to do. So tomorrow is a traditional liquid fast aka no dinner; same deal for my water fast Monday and Tuesday is another liquid fast (maybe with dinner if I'm absolutely about to drop). I don't know how much exercise I'll be doing as the calorie restriction is making me a bit dizzy so fasting definitely will. But maybe my body will adjust and if not, there's always the stationary and floor exercises. For the next three days I'll be pushing my body and will as far as they'll go.
Wish me luck, lovelies and I'll wish you the same.

Talk Fast
I have internet but for how long I can't say. So I'll keep this short.
I ate less than 700 calories yesterday. I estimate it to be 660. Today I'm aiming for under 500. Tonight I'll find out my schedual for next week and I'll plan a 24 hour water fast for a day I'm not working.
I managed to get caught up on blogs and everyone seems a bit down. I hope things turn up. I love every one of you and I wish you happiness and hip bones.
Much love for my lovely girls!

Promises, Promises
I believe its been a week and a half already since I said I had something special to post and I still haven't. So a quick update then my great discovery.
The liquid fast went fantastic yesterday. I think dinner was closer to 4 or 500 calories but it was mostly lean steak and I mostly had crystal light and I did an hour of cardio including a short run.
Today I wound up drinking a lot of chocolate milk but it was low fat and had 8 grams of protein per glass. Again, I think I probably went a little over my allotted dinner calories but I don't have an exact number. Anyways, I lost a lb from yesterday morning and I'm really hoping for the same results. Hopefully with how much I've been eating I can drop five or six lbs this week.
Now for the prize inside. Something every ana should know about. And its a company called Walden Farms. They sell condiments but not just normal condiments, theirs are free of CALORIES, FAT, SUGAR, CARBS, and GLUTEN! They have mayo, peanut spread, jams, syrups, veggie and fruit dips, pasta sauces, salad dressings and more! so far, I've tried their ranch dressing and caramel fruit dip. Now, I'm not going to lie and say that they were amazing in comparison to full fat and sugar versions (which those products would of course normally be PACKED with) but for diet versions they were pretty good and for having no calories it is fantastic! If you read the fine print there are "trace calories" in the ingredients but they're required to report even 5 calories so there has to be less than that. I'll definitely be trying more of there products in the future and I recommend checking out their website and finding a grocery store near you that sells their products or ordering something.
www.waldenfarms.com
When I saw this I knew I just had to share it with others looking to cut calories and become more beautiful. If anyone tries anything, please tell me if you liked it.
That's my two cents for today, my pretties.

Quick Dip
sorry I'm a bit M.I.A. lately. My computer is being shit and wont stay online for long. I'm looking for a new one or rather a used one. Rest assured I'm keeping up with blogs. It's just hard to get posts up before it craps out on me.
I'm helping my best friend pack for a really long trip tomorrow. There will be cookies. Possibly pizza. I might just die.
But Monday starts a five day liquid fast in my traditional style. That means dinner with my parents and something sensible on days I have work. It's weak but I don't binge when I have dinner to look forward to. But I promise, no more than 300 calories. I'll stick to water and crystal light as much as possible. I wont let you or me down.
I got a pitcher for my crystal light today. It doesn't sound like much (or look like much) but I was excited. No more guesstimating how much powder to use and how many calories it is. Now I just make 2 quarts and get it just as easy as the high calorie juices and sodas in the fridge. Sorry about the random tangent. XP
Be thin, my lovelies.

Good- Sorta
Today, my family took a trip to a little beach town semi-near by for lunch. We went to a restaurant we only go to once a year so I did want to eat while I was there. So I skipped breakfast entirely, got a cheese burger, the best fires ever, and some gourmet ice cream (and didn't finish any of it but still ate a lot), then dinner was just a small bowl of fruit (negative calories!) and some crystal light. Plus a good deal of walking and some stretches and some time swinging. All in all, not too bad. Really good for eating out!
I found a new source of modivation last night. I realized that soon I'm going to see this girl B who I absolutely hate. We used to be friends because I took pitty on her cuz no one liked her. But it wasn't long before I realized why no one liked her. She's stupid, fat, lazy, whiney, cries a lot for no reason (and gets snot on you when she does EW!), and SHE DOESN'T BATHE!!! She constantly complains about her life but is always doing things she knows will make it worse just for the attention. Words can't describe what a pain in the ass she is. But before I knew all that I got a couple of my nicer friends to hang out with her too and she's invited to a couple of their graduation parties. Now, when I say she's fat I mean she is perfectly round and eats junk meals TEN times a day!!! Me, B, and my other friend who puts up with her C (yes, that makes us ABC lol) used to get together for sleep overs and B would eat more for breakfast than C and me put together the entire time we were together, then she wanted lunch two hours later. The three of us decided to lose weight together at the begining of the year. In January I lost 10 lbs, C lost 5, and B was so proud of her self because she lost 2 LBS! The whole month! And she celebrated with a foot long sub, chips, fries, and cookies! And that was just in the two hours we were together. Anyways, we got in a huge fight because she was being ridiculously bitchy and self-centered and after she made a huge scene in public I stopped talking to her. It's been four months since I last saw her and I want to be fucking skinny! I want to show that nightmare what real work'll get you. I'm not sure when one of the parties is but one is in two weeks so I'm fasting in some form or another every day til then.
Tomorrow is a fruit fast, maybe a little dairy and some crystal light but that's it. I have to admit it eventually, I'm back to a disqusting, sickening 140lbs! YUK! But I want to be bellow 135 by the party. I'm going to aim for 132 by June 12th!
Sorry this got a bit rambly.
Wish me luck, ladies. Think thin.

Whoosh!
That's how my head feels. All whoosh like :) I'm a little feverish on and off today and really tired after an extremely busy day at work and keep getting light headed from coughing fits and just started my period (it's been over two months and I have to say I was kind of proud when I never got it, like I was doing something right). After catching up on blogs I had another coughing fit and now feel pretty shitty and whoosh. So this is going to be short. I'll try to post what I was planning tomorrow or at least really soon.
I didn't eat at work today which I was proud of. I could have gotten one of the really decadent deserts today. I really wanted something cold on my throat and that was about all we had but I didn't have any. It probably doesn't sound all that impressive to anyone else but my will power has been so low lately and between stress, hormones, and a strong burning sensation in my throat I was proud to have just said no to food in general.
So that's the small little world of my throbbing head.
Be thin, dears.

p.s. being bloated and crampy my tummy is smaller than it was yesterday when I wasn't. Strange, huh?

Sick :(
Hello to my lovely new follower Alice D. (I love that name; it sounds like drugs ;P lol)
Well, yesterday's daytime water fast went well. I wound up eating probably around 500 calories at dinner :C but at least that's better than what I've been tending toward lately.
But this morning I woke up with a swollen throat and fever. Since I need to be able to work tomorrow I wound up foregoing the liquid fast. Instead I ate lots of soup (with noodles :( ) and popsicles and cold drinks. But it did mean that even though I didn't wind up going out I didn't have to eat a proper dinner!
Tomorrow I plan to have some eggs and fruit and grab some beef vegetable soup at work so there aren't any more horrible noodle infractions.
Also, I did something I realised I should have done months ago and bought some crystal light raspberry lemonade mix. No more wasteing 110 calories a glass! Just 5 calories and no sugar- B-E-A-Utiful!
I'll leave things there but I've got something special to tell you about tomorrow.
A demain, mes petites.
