~*EDIT WEDNESDAY MARCH 22*~

good thing +: he call me!! yay!! hehe!!! he called me yesterday at 11:30 pm, then at 12:30 am (today) and then at 1 am.

bad thing - : we got into a fight....again...ugh....

Hey waz up gurlies!!!! (and guys…whatever…hehe!!)

Nways, im sorry I haven’t updated as much as I should, I’ve been kinda busy, and with a
lot of problems…

oh and guess what??!!!! im not pregnant!!! yay!!!! hahaaha!!! ....

Nways, u know how I was in this car accident with my bfriend (or ex, I don’t know waz
up)? Well, the thing is that my car was like a total lost, and I’ve been without a car since,
but I got a new car now!! Yay for me!!! Hehe!! So that’s like totally cool, cuz I fucking
hate taking the bus or asking for a fucking ride, so yeah…that’s a good thing between all
the fucking problems…

Nways, so u know how I was asking u guys for tips on what to do for my bfriend’s
birthday? Well, I made him this cute little dinner, with candles and stuff, hehe! It was
wonderful, and I got him this cool jacket that he wanted a long time ago, and a pic of me
and him together, and stuff, hehe! So yeah, he loved them, so thanks u guys for the tips!!!

But he got kinda mad that day, cuz I didn’t eat anything at dinner, I was just moving my
food around and stuff, hahaha, and he noticed and got all mad and started telling me to
stop playing with my food, and I was like “im not playing with my food, im poking it,
which is a lot dif!!!” hahaaha, that was bad, I know, but I didn’t knew what to say…

Nways, I don’t think we’re going out anymore, cuz like I mean, we’re like always having
fight and stuff, I mean, I know every couple have their own fights every now and then,
but what we have u guys, are not just “little fights”, what my bf and I have are fucking
big-ass fights dude, EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY, what the hell, every ten fucking
minutes I guess…and the worst part is the we fight for stupid things, u know? Like
stupid little shit, but um…there’s something I haven’t tell u guys, he is bipolar, like I
mean, he can probably be happy one minute, and then the next be all fucking angry and
the next he can be all sad and stuff, WITHOUT A REASON! That’s just the way he is!!!
And I try to understand him, and to not freacked out about it, but like there’s a limit u
know? And im a very patient person, I swear I am, but he just crushed the line too many
times!!! So we’re like always fighting u know, like yelling at each other, calling each
other names, me hitting him and he hitting himself, and saying how much we hate each
other, and we would like break up, and u know, like stuff like that, …but after every
fight, he would call me, or come over to my house and everything would be back to
normal u know? But this last fight wasn’t like this, this time we fought on the 19^th , which
is “our special day” and we fought because he said he wanted to do something, like go
out to dinner or to the movies and stuff like that to celebrate, so he was supposed to come
over to my house and pick me up after when he got off work, but he didn’t, and then he
call me an hour later saying that he wasn’t gonna make it and blab la bla ….so I got
pissed, and we started arguing again and bla blabla…and he said something about how
tired he was of me playing games with him or something like that, so I broke up with him
and told him not to call me anymore and whatnot, and I hung up on him. But like I said,
that’s just normal stuff, and what he was supposed to do was call me back later on, and
everything good. But he didn’t…and he hasn’t call me still…so I don’t know…it’s just
like weird, u know? And I mean, I don’t care if we get back or not, but I just really wanna
know if he’s ok or something, plus, like I mean, I really miss talking to him on the phone.
He would call like every 15 minutes u know? He would call me like from work, from his
uncle’s house, from his friend’s house and stuff, just to say hi, and to see if I was ok and
stuff like that…but I don’t know, I don’t know what to thing, I don’t know if this time is
for reals, or if he’s just taking his time, or something, I don’t know!!! And like I wanna
call him so bad, but my friends told me not to, so I haven’t…but I don’t know what to do,
im just so fucking confused…but yeah…nways…

Im sorry im talking a lot about my shit and stuff, it’s just that I needed to talk to someone
and take this shit out. Cuz it’s not just this that’s bothering me, it’s also my school, my
family, and ugh!! Just like everything, u know?
Right here is the only place where I feel safe.

Ugh….i don’t know u guys…but whatever…hehe!!!

Nways, some tips!!! Hahahaa! (after all my drama…)

Eat as slowly as you can. It takes your body around 30 minutes to realise it's food. Chew it until it disolves in your mouth.
Become a vegan or vegitarian.
Eat in front of a mirror naked.
Count to 100 if you're having a craving. Hopefully it will go away.
Put your fork down between every bite
Dont eat past 7pm.
Hit your stomach if it's growling too loudly.
Wear nail polish to hide the discolouring in your nails from lack of nutrients.
Take anti heartburn pills if you're really hungry. They neutralize the acid that builds up and makes you hungry.
Keep a bin near you when you eat. If you feel you are going to over eat, throw the rest of the food away.
Wear a rubber band around your wrist, snap it against your skin when you're tempted to eat.
Drink diet soda. It'll fill you up and only has 1 calorie.
Clean something gross, you'll lose your appetite.
Brush your teeth. The taste of toothpaste will be horrid with the taste of food.
Every calorie counts. When you're sitting, shake your leg, tap a pencil, never stop moving.
Drink a glass of water every hour, not only will it make your stomach feel full, it will also give you great hydrated skin. Cold water burns more calories, while warm water makes you feel full.
Throw away the foods you think you'll binge on.
When going out, only take out the amount of money that you'll need. Nothing extra. That way you won't be tempted to spend it on food.
Sitting up straight and having good posture burns 10% more calories than when you slouch.
If you feel like eating, eat negative calorie foods only.
Carry a picture of your favourite trigger everywhere you go.
Take a sip of water between every bite.
Stay cold. Your body burns more calories trying to warm you up.
If you're bingeing, don't swallow the food, spit it out.
Eat your meals on smaller plates.
Clentch your butt all the time. Guys like a nice ass and you burn calories too.
Take kelp pills, they boost metabolism.
Pro-plus are caffeine tablets which you can buy at most shops, no need for calorie infested coffee.
Use laxatives.
Get comfy in bed, being comfy means you won't want to get up to get food.
Use your mind. Think about what the food would look like in your stomach after you've eaten it.
Sabotage your food. Adding too much salt etc works great.
Go shopping and try on clothes that you wish you could fit in to.
Pinch all your fat and see how disgusting it is and then you'll think that if you eat you'll just add more to it.
If people start saying they're worried about your weight loss, get really upset and say how mad you get everytime somebody comments on your skinny body. Complain a lot about how you wish you could gain weight so people will stop making rude comments.
If you eat, ONLY eat when people are watching.
Obesity is disgusting. Remember that.
Thinspiration is your best friend. You think you've lost weight? Trust me you haven't. Just check out the models online and you'll realise that.
Live by the scales. It's right and you're FAT.
Keep in mind - If your skinny friend eats a lot, that DOES NOT mean that you can do the same.
Learn to love that empty feeling in your stomach. Trust me you'll feel repulsed when it starts getting full again.
What what other people, espescially fat people, eat and feel superior because thy're feeding their bodies and getting fatter.
Drink 2 tbsp of vinegar before the meal, so (aparently) it will help suck the fat out of it.
Spicy foods raise your metabolism and burn slightly more calories than other foods. They'll also help keep you from getting bored with the same old boring low-cal stuff.
Think higher of yourself! You're too good to put THAT in your body!

What no one knows about us...

I need you to believe in me.
I don’t and wont stop.
I need you remind me of my qualities, not my mistakes.
I'm scared.
I know it seems like I'm this strong person who can get
through anything, but inside I'm fragile. I've had so many
things thrown at me, and each one has only made a crack.
What I'm afraid of is shattering.
You look at me and see a pretty smile and think "she's so
happy", but there's so much behind these eyes that u will never know...

Nways, i need an ana buddy,
cuz im gonna fast and i dont wanna do it by myself!!! hehe!!

nways, g2g

take care huns, and stay strong!!!!!

kisses!!

Drink a glass of water every hour. It will make you feel full.
(Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat.
Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase,
while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits.Here's why: The kidneys can't function properly without enough water. When the kidneys don't work to capacity,
some of their load is dumped onto the liver. One of the liver's primary functions is to
metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. If the liver has to do some of the
kidney's work, it can't operate at full throttle. As a result, it metabolizes less fat, more fat
remains stored in the body, and weight loss stops. Drinking enough water is the best
treatment for fluid retention. When the body gets less water, it perceives this as a threat to survival and begins to hold on to every drop.)
If you are really craving food, brush your teeth with a strong mint toothpaste.
This helps to put you off food because of the taste it leaves behind.
Spicy foods raise your metabolism and burn slightly more calories than mild foods.
Write a note to yourself listing all the reasons you are finally ready to lose weight. Keep
this letter with you at all times, for inspiration.
. You'll eat less on a black or navy blue plate.
Eat your sweets at breakfast
Sit up straight. You'll burn at least ten percent more calories sitting upright than reclining.
Drink tea whenever you get hungry and drink as much as you want – it’s low in calories,
and it fills you up.
Hit your stomach when it grumbles because that will make the sound go away and your
stomach will hurt too much to eat.
Try varying your daily intake. If you eat, say, 200 calories a day, you will hit a plateau in
your weight loss and your metabolism will slow down greatly. Instead, try consuming 400
one day, 300 the next, 200 the day after, and so on (never over 500 huns!!!). The numbers are up to you, but whatever you do, make sure the calorie content doesn’t stay
the same.
Put your fork down in between bites at meal time.
If you don't feel comfortable not eating too much, eat only a hard boiled egg, an apple,
and a glass of water. It will fill you up all day.
Wear nail polish to cover up the bluish tinge that starvation gives your fingernails so others
don't suspect it as much.
Eat breakfast! This gets your metabolism going.
Eat as slowly as you can. It takes your body around 30 minutes to realize it's
full. Chew until the food dissolves in your mouth.
Count to 100 if you're having a craving. Hopefully it will go away.
Never eat past 5 pm.
If you eat, ONLY eat when people are watching.
Eat your meals on smaller plates.
Every calorie counts. When you're sitting, shake your leg, tap a pencil, never
stop moving.
Stay cold. Your body burns more calories trying to warm you up
Pinch your ear! Apply pressure to the front of the ear, one at a time.
The front of the ear is apparently a pressure point, in the area that |
controls hunger. (i use this one pretty often, it works!!!)

Hey lovelies!!!

How are my darlings doing?? I hope yall doing great!!!

Nways, so this is my intake and workout for this week…

Tuesday- Friday

Breakfast: green tea or coffee

Lunch: nothing, (Thursday I ate a small cup of cottage cheese)

Dinner: coffee

2 hrs of kickboxing and 30 min of spinning

I haven’t got a chance to go to the gym cuz I still don’t have a
car yet, plus, ive been very busy taking care of all the
insurance paper work… I know those are not excuses or
anything, but they do make it harder to go to the gym….

And today I just went walking for an hour in the morning with
my doggy, he is sooo cute!! Hehe! And had coffee for breakfast,
lunch and dinner…

Nways, im gonna start fasting tomorrow, I guess im gonna go
for a week, and see how much I can lose. The only thing that
sucks about fasting, is that ur freacking metabolism tends to
slow down, but u can fix that by drinking tea, or coffee, and
doing lots of cardio.

Nways, I need to lose some weight, cuz my boyfriend’s
birthday is coming up, ( I think is the 21 or 22 of Feb.) I still
have some time, but I wanna be the lightest possible. and
valentine’s is coming up too, so I gotta rush with this pound-
losing-thing hehe!!!

So that’s my plan, fast for a week, and workout as much as I
can.

Well, here are some tips, I hope u enjoy them. I really appreciate
all of ur cmmts, if u have any q’s or need some extra help with

something don’t hesitate to reach me, ill cmmt back, or just
email me and ill add u to my contacts and email u back, ok?!!

Remember to drink lots of h2o!

Have a great weekend huns!!!

Luv u lots!

Kisses!!

Oh, another thing, just so u know, like every time u fast u’r
not allowed to drink cappuchinnos, soda, chocolate milk, milk,
juice, or something in the categorie, cuz these beverages have
way too much cals and carbs, and the main goal of fasting is
for ur body to reach a ketosis state, ( is when ur body starts
burning fat, and carbs) and if u keep drinking ur carbs and
cals, then it’s not even worth the starving. If u don’t wanna
fast, but still
wanna lose weigh fast, u can do it by eliminating ur carb
intake, at least for two weeks, and ur body will be a fat
burning machine, trust me, u’ll see the friendly side of the
scale.

*Speed Up Your Metabolism*

1. Increase your meal frequency: Eat more often but don’t
increase total calories. For example, break three meals into
five to six smaller meals and eat every three hours. Food can

actually help burn body fat when used strategically. Breaking
meals into smaller feedings helps to control blood sugar and
puts you in a better position to lose fat.

2. Break up your workout: Many people are pressed for time
and the thought of exercise becomes another stress in their
lives. However, research has proven that two short bouts of
exercise per day will actually stimulate the metabolism more
than one longer bout. Go for two brisk 15 minute walks per
day, five days per week, and you’ll see progress at the end of
30 days.

3. Eat breakfast: If you sleep through the night and then

deprive the body of food in the morning, the body is sensing

a potential famine and holds onto stored body fat to keep

you alive. Remember, calories from food represent heat. Use

the heat to rev your metabolism.

4. Cycle calories: For three days, consume your minimum
calorie requirement based on your height, weight and goals.
Then, on day four, increase your calories by an additional 400

(nutritious foods only). This technique can actually get the
metabolism racing and stimulate additional fat loss.

5. Drinks lots of water: If you limit your water intake, the
body will retain water; the body only needs to be dehydrated
by approximately 2 percent for this to take place. Drink 0.55
multiplied by your body weight in ounces of water per day.

6. Exercise in the morning: If you can fit it into your

schedule, exercise in the morning. People who exercise
consistently in the morning find that exercise at this time
regulates their appetite all day long. They don’t get as hungry
and they start the day with a boost to the metabolism.

7. Perform cardio interval training: Cardio interval training is
simply short bursts of high-intensity exercise combined with

more moderate intensity within the same workout. Studies
have shown that people who perform interval training twice a

week (in addition to two other days of lower intensity cardio)

lose twice as much weight as those who do just a moderate
cardio workout. You can easily incorporate interval training
into your workout by inserting a 45 second burst into your

stationary bike workout every four to five minutes.

8. Boost your metabolism by reading instead of watching TV:

Researchers at Memphis State University monitored 32 girls as

they watched a half-hour television program. They found the

metabolic rates dropped as much as 16 percent below resting
metabolic rate. They burned fewer calories watching TV than
they did just by reading!

9. Drink green tea: Green tea is a popular tea from Japan that

has numerous health benefits, including weight loss. It’s not
100 percent certain how green tea helps one to lose fat, but it

appears to increase the amount of calories the body burns

not necessarily because of the small amounts of caffeine it

contains, but due to a compound abbreviated as EGCG.
When purchasing green tea make sure the label states that
the green tea used is standardized for caffeine and EGCG.

10. Practice hydrotherapy: First thing in the morning, drink 32
ounces of very cold water on an empty stomach. Don’t eat

breakfast for at least 30 minutes. The cold water will force
your body to raise its core temperature, thereby stimulating
your metabolism and excreting any excess water. You may
find that you lose two pounds the first month you try this. If
you want to take it a step further, do the same thing at lunch.

Try several of these easy-to-use tips and start getting your fat-burning metabolism revved.

Ana Astrology

Aries
Constantly challenge yourself to lose more more more.

Taurus
Physical hardship is your strength. Exercise and restrict a lot.

Gemini
Communicate your feelings, achivements and frustrations about ana to others, preferably online though!

Cancer
Spend your days cooking for *others* instead of yourself.

Leo
Be proud of every achievement you make, and know that more is in store.

Virgo
Remember that your past fat was an injustice against you.

Libra
You are adept at finding true balance between eating and restricting.

Scorpio
Hate hate hate hate hate HATE HATE HATE HATE food. And know you'll get more partners when thinner.

Sagittarius
Don't supress hunger pains - enjoy them!

Capricorn
'Thou Shalt Not' works perfectly for you.

Aquarius
Think outside of the box - innovate new diets and routines for optimal efficiency!

Pisces
Dream about your target weight- and know that it is a possibility.

Diet pills like Xenadrine, Hydroxicut, and Trim Spa attack the carbohydrates and fat that you consume and don't allow your body to digest it, they also increase metabolism and give you extra energy.
Keep busy, bordom is a leading reason for why a lot of people over eat.
Keep inspirational pictures in places were you will see them on a daily basis. A picture of yourself at your fattest as well as a picture of what you would like to look like will both be great inspiration and keep you motivated.
When estimating calories of foods and/or portions, always over estimate. If you under estimate you'll eat more than you think you did and you'll have a harder time getting the results you want.
Don't eat after 5:00pm. The earlier you eat in the day the more time you have to burn off those calories and your body naturally burns more calories when you are awake than when you are asleep
If you know that you tend to binge, become hungry, or crave food at a specific time of day on a regular basis plan to do something that will keep you out of the fridge and cupboards at that time. Do laundry, visit an Ana/Mia forum, take a walk, or clean your room.

How to deal with food cravings

Cravings for foods like chocolate or potato chips aren't always in your head.

High-fat, high-calorie foods cause the body to release natural chemicals that make us feel better in times of stress, anxiety, and depression.

Although scientists don't know why, women usually crave chocolate and other sweets while men prefer salty or meaty snacks like chips, burgers, and pizza.

No matter what your preference, too much of these guilty pleasures can put on the pounds and may also increase unhealthy cholesterol and triglycerides.

Tips for taming cravings:

*Wait 20 minutes when a craving hits. They'll often go away.

*Don't keep chocolate or other foods you crave at home or in your desk.

*Keep reminding yourself of how damaging fat is to your health. High-fat food can damage your liver. - "kb"

*When you do treat yourself, eat slowly and savor every bite.

*Find low-calorie ways to satisfy cravings. Hot cocoa, fat-free fudgesicles, or frozen juice bars may be enough to satisfy a sweet tooth.

*If you do give into a craving for sweets, brushing your teeth may help you stop a binge.

but first of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!!!
(i know it's kinda late for that, but whatever...) i hope u'll had a wonderful time with your friends and family and so on...

and im very sorry i havent write like in sooo long!! is just that so many
things happened at once that i just didnt have time for anything!!! but im
back now, with more new tips, new thinspo, and im just so fucking glad
to see all of u again!!!! i cant believe how much i missed u guys, it’s like
i need you guys to keep me going, i really need all of your support and
encouragement....but oh well

nways, im gonna be reading and answering all of your comments and
mails ok?! So, be patient cuz there’s a lot of them…

oh gosh, I was gonna tell u something else…but I totally forgot about it
already, Im trying to remember but I just cant…ugh! I hate when that
happens…

so, what are your resolutions for this new year??? (I mean, like besides
losing weight and stuff like that…) Im still thinking about them, like I
wanna keep the list simple u know, cuz I don’t wanna be one of those
persons that have like a thousand-resolution list, and they don’t get to
accomplish any of them…so im just gonna keep them simple but very
well thought!!

So nways, today my intake was kinda good I guess….

B: coffee
L: 1 cup of cottage cheese
D: green tea

Omg, I’ve been drinking green tea everyday for the last month, and I just totally love it, I really can see the difference, like I feel my body like way lighter and less intoxicated. I really luv it, u should try it to see if u like it.

and my workout was just 2 ½ hours of kickboxing. Ive been really sick since last November so I haven’t work out as much as I used to…

plus, I got in a freacking car accident last week, so my car is all fucked
up and shit, and it’s harder to hit the gym when u don’t have like a ride
or something…but oh well…ive done a lot of walking now that I don’t
got a car though…hehe!!! But hopefully ill have my car all fix like in a
week or so…

well, enough about me!!! Comment and tell me how have u been doing, what you’ve been up to, and ur plans and stuff, ok?!!!

Tips!!!

-Pick one food for the day like an apple. Cut it into 8 slices. Eat 2 slices
at breakfast, 2 at lunch, 2 at dinner, and you'll have 2 left for a snack!
This way your body thinks it's eating 4 times that day, but in reality
you've only had 1 apple.

Eat one meal a day, this will help binge cravings.

-Drink a glass of warm or hot water every hour it will make you feel full.
*hot water makes u feel full, cold water makes your bod to burn cals.

Eat in the same place every day. Somewhere solitary, not in front of the TV or computer.

Sleep at least 6 hours a night. Less than 6 hours sleep a night stimulates appetite by 15%.

If you get a craving for chocolate, take a whiff of strong perfume. Put
perfume on a hanky and "put it up to your nose when you pass a
bakery."

Never eat any anything bigger than your head. You'll only stretch your stomach out.

-Spicy foods raise your metabolism and burn slightly more calories than foods.

Move!!! Walk at least 30 mins a day, come on gurl!! Get up!!

Don't Swallow! take a bite, chew, and spit it out.

-Track your triggers.

-A little envy is a good thing. Competition is a great mobilizer.

When you're feeling weak...

Pinch your thigh and see how you don't need food, because you should
be eating your own flesh all away from the inside first, before you are
deserving of actual legitimate sustenance.

Become an artist. Write poetry. we are all creative. Collect pictures of
skinny girls. Stick them all in your notebook.

Pinch your ear! Apply pressure to the front of the ear, one at a time. The
front of the ear is apparently a pressure point, in the area that controls hunger.

Clean something. Cleaning something dirty can make you lose your
appetite. The toilet, the litter box, under the kitchen sink, scrubbing out
the garbage bin, anything grimy or smelly. The mess, along with the
smell of the cleaner, can put you off food for a while.

Quotes!!!!

Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us. Peter De Vries

One way to get thin is to re-establish a purpose in life. Cyril Connolly

More die in the United States of too much food than too little. John Kenneth Galbraith

Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections. Saint Francis de Sales

Your character must be above suspicion, and you must be truthful and self-controlled.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Nothing is so bad that losing weight won't cure.

You are not depriving yourself of food- the only thing you are depriving yourself of is ultimate thinness.

DAMN!!! THIS SHIT IS LONG, SORRY…

TAKE CARE AND STAY STRONG!

KISSES!

***TIPS***

Pick one food for the day like an apple. Cut it into 8 slices. Eat 2 slices at breakfast, 2 at lunch, 2 at dinner, and you'll have 2 left for a snack! This way your body thinks it's eating 4 times that day, but in reality you've only had 1 apple.
Drink water!!!!!!! Try drinking water and juices rather than diet soda.
-brush your teeth often.

-dont slouch. sitting up straight burns 10% more calories.

drink lots and lots of water. hot water makes you feel full cold water makes your body burn more cals!

-GO FOR WALKS! they get your mind of eating and it burns cals, too.
Eat in front of a mirror naked. See how much you can eat then!

Throw away the foods you think you'll binge on.
Take a picture of yourself wearing a bathing suit or something equally revealing, look at it when you want to eat.
It takes 20 minutes for the brain to realize the stomach is full.
If eating any sweets, eat them at breakfast. This way you have the rest of the day to burn them off. '
Weigh yourself (if possible) before and after every time you eat. Not only will it eliminate unnecessary eating, but it will make you want to eat less when you see the numbers creep up.
Think higher of yourself! You're too good to put THAT in your body!
Spoil your food. As soon as you've cooked/served up your meal, put too much salt, pepper, sauce, (or even detergent) on it. That way you won't want to eat it!

-Make sure to get enough rest. You are more likely to binge when you are not well rested.
Put your arms above your head to even out your weight.
Weight yourself as much as possible and record it in your journal.
Carry a picture of your favorite trigger everywhere you go.
Clench your butt all the time. Guys like a nice ass and you burn calories too.
Britney Spears new low-fat smoothie:
Ingredients-
½ cup each of fresh strawberries and mangoes
1 scoop whey protein
1 tsp. flaxseed oil
6 oz. pineapple
6 oz. soy milk
Directions-
mix the ingredients in blender!!
it has 429 cals per serving, but it is all mostly fruit cals, and 1 gram of fat

Have mostly veggies for lunch.
Use mustard instead of mayo.
If you drink caffeine, make sure to drink an equal amount of water.

Go shopping and find urself an outfit or clothing item thats a size or more smaller than what you are.

Know your limits... but never stop trying to exceed them.

You can always go farther than you think you can.

Eat less, weigh less.

If I eat anything, I'll eat everything, so I eat nothing.

Every calorie you eat equals another step toward destruction.

Starving is not pain, it's the cure.

You have such a pretty face, why don't you try dieting?

Do you really want to be that weight for the rest of your life!?!?

Do not give up on what you want most, for what you want at the moment.

This is my personal challenge for me. I'm going to try so hard! Laugh at me if you want; I wont let that effect me. I can do this, Only I can let myself fail.

Don't eat anything today that you'll regret tomorrow

I'm not starving myself. I'm perfecting my emptiness

You've come too far in life to take orders from a cookie.

If you have weight to lose, lose it. It wouldn't be there if you weren't supposed to lose it.

Every time I have the opportunity to eat, I have the strength to refuse.

Everything I want o be, I am, only buried under a layer of fat.

When I wake, I'm empty, light, light-headed. I like to stay

this way, free and pure, light on my feet, traveling light. For

me, food's only interest lies in how little I need, how

strong I am, how well I can resist, each time achieving

another small victory of the will.

Hello hello!!!!!

how all my darlings doing???!!!! well, i hope u'll doing fine!!!!!

thank you so very much for all of ur cmmts!!!! i already read them all, and ill will answer after writing this post, ok?!!!!

but really, thank you so much for all of your support. every time i read ur cmmts, or ur posts, i stop and think, where would i be without u guys?? (eating like a pig probably....) but no, seriously, i wouldn't have this self control and motivation if it didn't were for all of your support.
thank you!!!!! that's i why i luv u lots!!! hehe!

nways, so today i got my period! i know u might not even care about it, hahaha, but i just have to say it cuz i get so frustated everytime i get it, i mean i just hate it!!! so i have to get all of my menstrual frustration out gurls, hahaa! cuz i like cant do anything when im on my period. i know some girls that they dont get any side effects when they're on their period, and lucky for them, cuz i like get every effect there is from it. i get headaches, CRAMPS!!! back pain, mood swings, nauceas, i forget everything, im more lazy than usual....ugh......etc, etc, etc....and the worst part of it, is that i get them before, during and after the my period....so im just nuts when im on it!!!!

and today i went to the gym to do my usual workout, which i think i should be changing it by now, cuz i dont wanna get bored by it and i dont want my body to get to use to it...so nways, i got there and everything, i warmed up and went to the treadmill, and i just ran like for 30 mins...cuz i kept on getting cramps, and i just couldn't do it..... i freacking hate it when something like that affects my workout.....ugh, i just hate it!

oh, and ill try to post more often...is just that is things are harder everytime my mom is not around cuz i have more stuff to do...but ill try to make more time for this..cuz i miss u guys like hell!!!!!

oh, and remind me to post this diet that makes u lose 15 pounds in less than one month!!! so, if u'r interested in it, wait for it, cuz ill post it soon!!

nways, here are some tips for u! hope u like'em!!!

An important first step, when starting a diet, is to get on the scale, see what you weight now, and then define your goal weight. You will know where you are now and where you want to be. Then, the only challenge is filling in the middle, but it's important to define the journey before you take on the challenge
Try not to talk about your dieting with a lot of persons, cuz they’ll want u to fail, (come on, people are mean!) and if u do fail, they’ll just rub it into ur face!!!

· Walking is one of the best exercises we can do! Look at your life and see if more walking can be inserted. For example: If you're going to 2 different stores, in close proximity of each other, park in the middle and walk to both, as oppose to driving to one and then driving to the other. Another example is to take the stairs instead of the elevator. The point is: there are many little choices throughout the day that can add up to a very healthy lifestyle. You can also dance, jump, run, do any kind of aerobic activity; the point is to stay in motion!!!

Tape a picture of your fat self to the refrigerator for motivation. Remind yourself what you don’t want to look like.
“Boost” your sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, sprouts, cucumber slices, bell peppers, and other fresh veggies. Along with the bigger crunch, you’ll get a bigger sandwich with few additional calories and no extra fat.
Take a shower or bath when a food craving strikes. It will relax you, and keep your whole body occupied and out of trouble (i.e., the kitchen) until the craving fades.
Phone a talkative friend when a food craving strikes. Call from a corded phone outside the kitchen, and stay on until the craving fades.
Brush your teeth, floss, gargle, or chew a stick of gum immediately after your meal to stop yourself from eating more.
Stand near fatter people. They make you look thinner. (hahahahaa!!! this one is funny!!!)
Smash your trash. When you throw food away, thoroughly bury it under more trash so there will be absolutely no question of changing your mind. No need to explain.
Give yourself a manicure when a craving strikes, applying extra layers of slow-drying nail polish. It will keep your hands occupied and out of trouble until the craving fades
Work for your snacks. Before you eat a high-calorie snack, clean the bathroom or vacuum the house. Don’t eat until the faucets and sink are gleaming.

Emphasize your weight loss triumphs and work towards making them more frequent
Find a weight loss "buddy," club, or support group. This will help you stay with your weight loss program.

· (If u eat) Use mustard on your sandwiches instead of mayonnaise. Mustard has no fat & very little calories while Mayo, is loaded with fat. If you just don’t like the taste of mustard, find a low-fat alternative, but avoid mayonnaise at all costs.

(If u eat) Bake, roast, or broil your food instead of frying. Remove all fat from meats and skin from poultry before cooking.
Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water each day. This will help flush out your body while also suppressing your appetite

· If you haven't done so already, switch to diet soft drinks. An average 12 Oz can of regular soda contains around 120 calories, while the diet version usually has one or zero. If you drink 3 cans a day, you'll be saving 360 calories right there. Now multiply that by 7 days a week, 30 days a month and 365 days a year... You'll be saving a lot of calories!

Limit alcohol. Alcoholic drinks have many calories & little else.
Don't give it up if you don't want to, just reduce your intake.
Shop for Groceries only after eating. You will be less likely to buy foods impulsively – especially foods you don’t need.
When you shop for groceries stick to your shopping list. This helps you guard against impulse buying. Make sure you list is complete and do not buy any extra food items.
Watch food labels. Foods with a high percentage of fat (or carbohydrates that are sugars) will slow down your weight loss program don’t just count grams, count percentage of total calories that are fat or sugars.
Don't think that just because you are eating low fat/low calorie foods that you can eat all that you want. The calories still add up and must be burned off regardless of what kind of food you eat. Balance is the key.
If you are going to a restaurant, decide ahead of time what you will be eating. Stick to it.
Never starve yourself, especially before going out to eat (or you will binge).
If u do starve urself, don’t binge after it! Please!!!!
Never skip meals, you must have some kind of nourishment regularly or your body's starvation defenses will kick in, lower your metabolism, and store fat.
Exercise – If you want to stay healthy and make weight loss permanent you just cant do without exercise. Along with cutting down on the fat you eat exercising regularly may be your best ally in improving your all around health and bringing your weight loss under control.
Schedule your exercise time just as you plan your other activities of the day. Treat this time as an important appointment you don’t want to miss
Write your weight goal & post it where you'll see it everyday.
You are responsible for what you do & what you eat.
Eat to live, not live to eat. Overeating can KILL you! (see!!! Food does kills!!! Hahaha!!!)
Repeat: "I'm learning a way to live, not just a way to diet."
Water is essential to all bodily functions and has no calories. It is the perfect drink for dieters. You need eight 8 oz. glasses of water daily.
Be happy: you're OK! Resisting all those tempting foods is NOT going to kill you.
Limit your time in the grocery store. The longer you stay, the more you will buy.
Be patient - it took years to gain weight; it takes time to lose weight.
"Nibble" food and "linger" over drinks. Do the "Push Away From The Table Exercise."
Chew your food completely: digestion begins in the mouth. Avoid "washing" half-chewed food down.
Let someone else be the walking garbage disposal: you are no longer responsible for eating up the leftovers after a meal.
Success is when you can look beyond food...and look down and see your feet.
Each day you stay on your weight-loss diet brings you closer to your weight goal.
The purpose of getting together with people is to enjoy their company...not eating.
Chart or graph your weight loss and serving selections.
Take small servings - avoid gorging yourself.
Consuming most calories in one big meal is the worst way to diet. Eat 4 or 5 small meals rather than in one all-out feeding frenzy.
If your schedule only permits you to eat one major meal in a day, eat it in the morning to midday hours rather than afternoon/evening hours.
Lose weight with a supportive friend or in a support group.
Did you know that simply changing the temperature of the water you drink can speed up your metabolism and burn more calories? Drink hot water!
Did you know that if you cut 3 tablespoons of butter per day from your diet you could drop 1 pound every 12 days just for not eating butter? Let's hope you don't actually eat 3 tablespoons of butter every day though!!!!

To lose body fat you must eat fewer calories than your body burns off, so EAT LESS -- but you must NOT starve yourself, otherwise you will lose more muscle than faT
(if u eat) Start eating 5-6 meals per day (space them out to about one every 3 hours). You are eating more often, but not necessarily more.

AND HERE ARE SOME TIPS THAT I DO EVERY DAY!!!!

like first thing in the morning, after showering, hehe! i drink a hot cup of water with lemon juice! it helps u to burn fat faster through out the day. (French girls do that!!)
and then i drink a medium glass of water
and then tea or coffee...which ever
oh, i also take vitamin pills!!! cuz they help me to have more energy and not to get more dizzy during the day. and plus they make my skin and hair more healthier and bla bla bla...
everytime im craving for something i eat ice instead!! hahaa!!! so, im like eating ice every minute!!! hahaaha! but it does work, trust me!!
oh, if u workout, pls, pls pls, dont drink Gatorade!!! unless u'r a buff guy, like a foot ball player or something...drink the other one, the one for girls that is also from the gatorade company. it's called Propel!!! so drink that instead of Gatorade. Propel Fitness Water hydrates active bodies with a vitamin-enhanced formula plain water can’t match. Each serving provides B vitamins to aid in energy metabolism as part of a daily diet, as well as antioxidant vitamins C and E. and it only has 10 cals!!! (but only if u exercise!!!)
take an one hour nap after 2 pm and before 5 pm. it helps ur body to take a break from all the stress of the day.
but just one hour!! or else u wont want to go sleep at night, and u'l be up with nothing else to do...and u might start eating....so just one hour!!!
drink lots of water!!!! but not over drink it, cuz u'll get water intoxication!

I TOTALLY LOOOOOOVE HEIDI KLUM IN THIS PIC!!! U CANT EVEN TELL IS HER.......

Another thing, i think there has been a misunderstanding; there are some girls that think that im encouraging u guys to become anorexic. If u all think that im doing that, pls tell me, cuz that's wasn't my point when i started this xanga, and still is not. i just wanted some place to go to express myself, and luckily i found all of u guys, my xanga buddies, u know who u are. and just because i sometimes starve myself, or overexersice, doesnt mean that i want you to do that too. i dont want u guys to follow my illnesses. i know that many of u are anas or mias already, so u might know what i mean when i say that i dont want anyonelse to try to be ana or mia, cuz is bad for ur health and everything else , bla bla bla....plus, having this is something u go out and look for, is something that just happens, i guess.....so, if u think that by doing this im encouraging girls to become ana or mia, or if you just think im doing something wrong, go head and tell me…(of course I will just listen to my xanga buddies, not to all of u haters out there!!!)

BASAL METABOLISM RATE - BASAL METABOLIC RATE - BMR

Questions & Answers regarding the basic metabolism rate.

What is BMR? BMR is the rate that your metabolism works when burning energy (i.e. foods in the daily diet). Some people have a higher BMR than others, and those who don't generally look for methods to boost their metabolic rate. When dieting, even those individuals who have exceptional BMR's look for ways to enhance their already-stellar BMR because a faster metabolism equals faster weight loss.

How can I speed up my metabolism? The following metabolism boosting tips may be of help:

- Boost your activity level which will in turn, boost your metabolism rate.

- Eat breakfast (this starts your metabolism going for the day), so you'll naturally get a head start. (but don’t eat too much!!!)

- Work on those muscles because muscle burns more calories than fat.
- First, the immediate energy is burned during activity. Once that has been used, the body pulls from the fat stored in the fat cells.

- Work on those muscles because muscle burns more calories than fat.

Ask to have you salad dressing served on the side. You may save a bit via your 'dip dip dipping'. Request reduced calorie dressing to save even more calories.
Opt for water and lemon OR lime with your meal. A bit of Splenda or Equal added to the glass makes instant lemonade and contains zero calories.
Use a paper napkin to blot off excess grease from foods.
Share a dessert.
Most any cooking method always beats 'fried'.
Those free foods that you can munch on while waiting for the meal can spell Diet Disaster. Baskets of bread and buckets of chips not only contain calories, but also a good amount of sodium - which in turn increases thirst. If you indulge in these before-meal goodies, try to limit intake
The later at the end of your day that you eat, the greater impact on your scales. Enjoying a light dinner and avoiding snacks before bedtime will render delightful weight loss results!
A great zero calorie beverage is water, lemon OR lime, and a few packs of no calorie sweetener. For minimal calories, use the juice of an orange for a different squeeze of the Diet Vine.
Don’t eat anything after 7 pm, but if u can, don’t eat anything after 5 pm!!!
Avoid fast food, please!!!! If u gotta eat something, eat tuna or sardine, or a fruit! But not fast food!!!
Lots of H2O!!!!
First thing in the morning, like before your coffee or green tea, drink a glass of water with the juice of half a lemon. This will help u burn fat through the day!!

So, have all of u guys heard how Kate Hudson lots 60 pounds (which was baby weight) in just 3 ½ months??!!! Incredible huh?!!! Love her!!! so, if she could do that, we can do it too!!! So here it is how she did it, and how Nicole Richie got so skinny too!!!!

she worked out 2-3 hours per day, six days a week. Her diet regimen consisted of smaller meals spread throughout the day, consisting of higher protein foods and restrictions on certain carbohydrates such as grains and some fruits.
