I’m trying.
But i don’t know what I actually want. At the moment, I don’t want to eat. And it feels like it’s my decision and I have it under control, that this is on my terms. But we all know how that ends up.
THIS.
anorexic is a state of mind, not a state of physical being. becoming anorexic isnt being super thin, its the fear of calories, the constant battles in your head, and nothing glamorous .
I loathe it when people “glamourize” eating disorders. there is NOTHING “cool” about having one.

So much for junk food “once a week” this week…
I’ve been absolutely terrible. Had my cheat day on Tuesday. Had a bit of cookie dough yesterday. Just had a brownie. Way to go :/
BUT… (Not that I should make excuses) I have been to gym a lot. Twice on Monday. Once Tuesday. Twice yesterday. And my other food has been good, and small portions.
Hopefully I’m PMSing. Because I haven’t had my period for a while…. I lost it, then when I started “getting better” and trying to be healthier, it returned, but I haven’t had it since sometime in August now…. Getting slightly worried.
Just stumbled across the most amazing lunch! (In my own kitchen and all)
Rice cakes with (low-cal) salsa. You can even add a little cheese, if you’re feeling adventurous.
Healthy, SUPER LOW CAL (the ricecakes I have are less than 25cal per cake, and the salsa I have is also incredibly low), and tasty. :D
Didn’t go to gym yesterday. Felt strange. Trying to learn that I need a rest day and that I shouldn’t beat myself up about a break… That said, I can’t wait to OWN gym after work!
Awww :) Thank you, sweetheart! xXx
Happy Thoughts, Healthy Body, Hopeful Future: The 'gap' is often unattainable and many times, unreasonable. 
And I’m not talking about the clothing store.
What I’m talking about is the goal of so many girls here on tumblr.
The ‘triangle’.
The space.
The legs that don’t touch when a girl has her feet together.
This ‘gap’ is most often not a viable or healthy goal for girls to aim for.
It was…

“WHY DID I GAIN FIVE POUNDS TODAY?” AKA: Weight Fluctuations
One thing you should know: The scale should never have your faith. Don’t let it control you or define you. Don’t let it make you emotional because you have gained a few pounds in a day. Don’t let it put you in a bad mood because it says you’ve gained 1lb even though you’ve been ‘doing everything right’. Because you know what? YOU are right, not a piece of machinery. In one pound is 3500 calories, unless you have taken in a surplus of 3500 calories in the last day, you HAVE NOT gained weight. A female teenager burns an average of 1500-2000 calories a day. You are NOT the exception, unless you are lying in bed all day, not moving, and in that case, you most likely burn 1200 calories a day, which is very, very unlikely.
But why is my weight fluctuating Em?
There are so many reasons, fictional person. First off, when are you weighing yourself? Is it at the end of the day? Is it after lunch? Is it after school? Or is it in the morning before eating or drinking too much? Because your weight will only be the most accurate during that time- showing on the scale. A gallon of water weighs EIGHT POUNDS. One glass (8 fl oz) of water weighs .5 of a lb of temporary water weight. This is necessary…to live…and exits when you pee, if you didn’t realize that’s where water goes after you drink it.. (Kidding. Of course you know that water will pass through you eventually. I hope. Dear god… haha) Some people can fluctuate to up to 8-10lbs per day, but the norm is about 1-4 lbs. When you eat food during the day…guess where the weight of the food is going to be? When you eat a lot of salt in a day, you retain that water for longer, and it can make you bloated and make your jeans feel tighter. When you consume large amounts of salt, water moves from your bloodstream into your skin to attempt to dilute it and protect the tissues from its irritation and therefore causes temporary weight gain and bloated/puffy skin. SO consider those factors when you see numbers added and reduced on the scale.
But I am weighing myself in the morning Em!
