A Skinny Journey...

[Skinny_Chick]

GO ME! ......... Nothing since the breakfast fiasco , except *Aquafina*....... Supposed to go to dinner tonight, but I can get away with a salad... 25 cal!

So, 340 and 25 is 365 for the day
I should have had zero but lately some food seems to be unavoidable... It's not quite as bad as I thought though. Thank you so much for the encouragement, lately I need it! I used to be the fasting and soup queen, I'll get back there but lately it's rough going. Love you all!

Not a bad night last night, ended up with a side salad at dinner... which was banished from my system the minute I came home. The scale says 152 this morning, and after the stress of lately I'll take that, tomorrow it better read 151, and Saturday 150! I'm off to finish getting ready for work. Have to leave in like 10 minutes. I plan on eating nothing today , we'll see how that goes. Love you guys! With any luck I'll be on later.

At the office, nothing so far today except 12 oz of McDonalds coffee black and 48 oz of *Aquafina* total of 0 cal Go me, I think I'm leaving the office on a road trip so all is well there. I'll probably regret all that liquid on the road but I'm feeling GREAT today, for the first time in a LONG time! Love you all!

[Skinny_Chick]

Nothing for me today! I'm really proud of myself Still feeling pretty good.... have to leave work early to drop something off for my boss. With any luck, "my stomach hurts" will fly tonight, otherwise it's cup of soup for me.... 60 cal total for the day at max! Love you all, maybe I'll be here later!

Wow, your motivation is really amazing. Don't you feel light-headed or tired when you eat under 500cal in a day? I tried that for a while but it was making me really cranky and screwed up my studying/working out and stuff.

Also, aren't you worried about getting deficient in some things? Not trying to have a go at you coz I really admire your strength. Just interested in how you see things.

Morning to all of you Nothing yesterday And the scale says 151 this morning I'll shoot for 150 tomorrow

Gym... I don't feel to wierd anymore I've been at this for awhile, but the first few weeks were probably the toughest I felt really wierd, that's actually how I was nicknamed "The Soup Queen" or "The Liquid Queen" if I felt really we'll call it wierd I'd have cup of soup or something, it's only 60 cal. Keep in mind when I say this that there was a point in my journey where if I didn't eat at all I would get physically sick. I cut my calories slowly at first. Then eventually with the help of a few people in here I found out that with a little motivation I COULD ACTUALLY FAST! For more than 8 hours lol. Motivation and trying... that's all I can say. I've put back on 20 lbs since Christmas, and there's no way I'm keeping it, or the other 20 I needed to lose. Thanks to my dear Future hubby, there's a bag of potato chips next to the computer. I love him to death but he has no idea. The beauty of this is that I have no desire to touch the potato chips. There's a lot of foods that I don't even go near anymore. Anyway, I've rambled long enough, and I have to go to work! Love you all!

The story of my Friday so far........ 3 in of a 6 inch turkey sub on wheat, green pepper, onion, tomato, lettuce, vinegar no dressing no oil from Subway... 140 cal.... Diet Coke...0 cal...

Grand Total for today so far 140 cal


I've got a great place for calorie math too, they are always dead on

Love you all, the other 3 inches of sub is going to the garbage. Should be on before I leave today.

[Skinny_Chick]

It's turning into one of those days. Until today I could say that I HAVE NEVER purged at work, that is until today.

Lately, solid food seems to repulse me, I eat and it wants to come right back out..... diet pop tastes gross to me.......... water, tea, coffee sometimes, soup and jello seem to be the only things that I can eat without gagging literally.

With any luck I'll be at 147 by Monday But it does kind of give me the creeps that solid food does that to me I'll be here before I go I think...

If anyone has any advice please let me know

[Skinny_Chick]

150 I do believe that's 5 lbs in a week! Next week it's off to the 140's for me! Just a quick second on here, future hubby in the shower. Good luck to everyone this weekend.. Love you all!

[Skinny_Chick]

I hate throwing up Had some rice for dinner.... Yeah that stayed in for about 10 minutes. Future Hubby watching baseball, should be with him. We'll see what the scale brings in the morning Love you all!

I just want to say that reading your journal is amazing! 5 pounds in a week!!
you are such an inspiration, i feel like i will never be able to fast, but you are making me feel like maybe i can. like i said, you are such an inspiration!

[Skinny_Chick]

Thank you Lady! When I came to this forum I always thought I was a fat failure... the support of everyone here makes me believe I can do ANYTHING. I need to believe that, it gives me the strength I could never find to get where I am going on this journey.

I am stuck at 151 this morning.. DAMN rice from last night, couldn't get rid of it all, solid food other than some fruit and veggies makes me really sick anymore. Future hubby is picking up a poker table from my parents at the moment. I think he knows I purge, he said last night that maybe I should get my stomach looked at, because it hurts all the time, when the truth is that most food grosses me out..... if only he understood, but he never will.

We're going to the grocery store when he gets home, if I don't take him with me I'm usually ok.... taking him with me brings home hamburger, chipsand assorted stuff like full fat ranch with bacon ( OMG! ) dressing, things that I either can't imagine eating or I methodically divide the calorie count for 1 mini cookie... ( 22.5 ) but the catch is that he wants me to eat this stuff with him.

So, I will go and buy piles of water, tea, raw veggies, a little fruit, some cup of soup, maybe some 35 cal popcorn, lots of salad and maybe a little diet soda. I tell him alot lately that if he wants to cook something go ahead but if I don't eat it it's ok. If he wants steak let him have it, even if I can't bring myself to eat it. I will happily push lettuce around on a plate to get to where I need to be.

I better get in the shower so I can make sure we don't forget any of my stuff or as future hubby calls them " Diet food " I don't care what he calls it as long as I can have my certain things. As long as I get those I'm ok. Love you all! Lots to do today, maybe I'll be around later.

Not a bad day overall I suppose......... by this evening I'll have had

yogurt 50 cal
Sub 3 inches 140 cal
taco salad 120
( 7 baked tostitos 60 cal, 2 Tbs prepared taco meat 40 cal, and 1 Tbs light sour cream 20 cal )

Maybe an apple later 20 cal

So, overall, my day is 310 cal.... 330 max if I have the apple. I'd rather have zero, but I can't have suspicious people around, that would not be good at all. Love you all ! Might get a chance to get on later tonight. Skinny thoughts and Good luck!

[Skinny_Chick]

Back to work I go..... Seems like I work a lot lately... Oh wait I do, 45 hours a week The plan is nothing today except for water, tea, and coffee. I'll tell future hubby that I had a late lunch, so I can cook but, don't have to eat, I'll just have tea. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully, successfully Will be here later! Love you all!

I'm feeling quite POWERFUL at the moment . It's lunch time in the office, which means I picked up everyone's lunch, my lunch is 16 oz of Diet Coke. I prefer Diet Pepsi, but Diet coke saved me today. That makes a total of 2 liters of *Aquafina* and 16 oz of Diet Coke today. Needless to say I was in the bathroom every half hour this morning lol

So, I managed to pick up everyone's lunch and only end up with a Diet Coke. It's a great beginning to my fast Love you all, you are fantastic motivation
