Daily Lyrics
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out
or looked down on
Just try your best,
try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves
when you're away
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own,
so don't buy in
Live right now, yeah, just be yourself
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright

missing, as usual, and extremely indifferent
Friday, April 23, 2010
nothing to say. ever. or so it has been. recently.
lost a LB. finally. scale is currently reading 109.8. rounding to 110. thank god. but want to be smaller. of course.
haven't been sticking to my fasts. haven't been counting my calories. trying to cut portions still. unfortunately, i have been purging. frequently. and taking the dreaded laxies. bah.
need more self discipline. as always. need more control.
nothing special to say right now. i need a permanent job. i need my own classroom. i need. i want. i need.
sorry i haven't passed over the sunshine reward i received. sorry i haven't been around. sorry. sorry. sorry.
flake.
loser.
i am those things. times 1 million.

rambling, as usual
my life has changed. again. and again.
mutated. into something. worse. less palatable.
i cannot live this way. like this. in this. i'm not entirely sure how long i can survive. here. in this place. this forsaken place.
i am a failure. as a woman. as a person. as a mother. as a simple being. living being. what?
i NEED to lose more weight. this weight. i NEED to be 100 by May 1st.
can i do this? will i do this? i want to be 109 by MONDAY! can i do this? will i do this? ARG!
i don't want to be surrounded by this never ending guilt. anymore. no more.
my H says to me yesterday. you've lost too much weight. you are losing too much weight.
i said. BS! you have known from the beginning what this is about. we've been together 9 years. 9 YEARS! i have always been honest with you about this shit. and then you bring your fucked up mother here. accompanied by CRAZY! what do you expect from me? this is how i deal! this is how i survive. what do you want from me? seriously?
i just want to scream at the top of my lungs and then... and then... i dunno... kill something.

untitled BS
so i'm officially saying out loud - - - - - 111 today. hoping tomorrow the scale will read 110 even. damn. only 10 more LBS until my ultimate goal. hell yes.
now if i could only control my moods like i control my food intake. then life would be grand. would it not, ladies?
Thursday, April 8, 2010
not much to say
but. i stepped on the scale just a minute ago. says 111.4. a little better. more towards my goal. slowly. yet getting there. rounding to 112 for today. didn't eat all day until dinner.
working again tomorrow. won't eat all day until dinner again.
i'm losing. but while i lose. i lose hope. not all peaches. and cream.

indifferent
in regards to my attempting to fast. again. today. for the third day in a row. it has been, so far, successful. which makes me super happy. considering my ass couldn't do it the first two times. i don't know why i'm okay today. don't really want to think about it. i'm really numb right now. had a long discussion with my H last night. all about the current "living situation" and the whole SICK ASS SELFISH mother-in-law thing. it kinda drained me. he's drained too. its so damn sad she's doing this to him. and has been doing similar shit his whole life. it makes me physically sick. i almost threw up doing the "talk" and started gagging. this whole thing has been a major trigger for me. its crazy. i mean, don't get me wrong. i know what i do is my own doing. i take total responsibility for my actions and what not. but damn, my weight loss has dropped to almost high school weight. i mean that's crazy. considering i'll be 30 in june. i mean, hey, i love it. but somewhere deep inside i know its not healthy and i know its a big sign of me being sucked into ED. it's funny. ironic. whatever, but i like know all of the things i do in regards to food and weight are wrong. i am heavily aware of the sickness. where as when i was younger, i hadn't a clue. i honestly thought everything was okay. but now.... i mean... i really know. and yet... i still do it.
i'm reading Hunger Point by Jillian Medoff. again. and like an hour ago i came across this one part that totally sums things up for me. here, read on. this is taken from Shelly's diary:
"They ask me what I think of food. I tell them I don't know, but I do. I know everything about it. I feel like I'm at war. It's all about the battle. I am always aware of what I'm doing. I watch myself watch the plate, I watch my hand lift my fork. I watch the mouth that opens like a cunt, the fork that slides in like a dick. That fucks me every time I swallow. I watch every second. I savor it all. The object, however, is to not let them know that you know this. Because if they do, they will take it away. Not the food, of course, but the knowing. Your absolute certainty that you will win. That's the real war, not the food, but the fuck and the desire of that fuck that I can control and deny. That I can destroy. You destroy the hunger, you destroy the desire, you destroy the need, you destroy the girl. The Me. And once I'm gone, what's left to fuck?"

thoughtless and unimaginative
anywho. just stepped on the scale. don't know why, cuz i usually stick to morning weighings. i was actually NOT going to weigh in today bcuz of how horrendous i've been feeling and i didn't want a let down. but, obviously, i ended up giving in and the scale read 111.8. so yay for me. i round up to 112. thank god. now if i can only get to 110 by April 1st, maybe some of the "weight" will be lifted off my shoulders. get it. weight. ha.
last night i binged/purged. again. this time on nachos and then left overs. its becoming a nightly ritual. i won't be surprised if i end up having a coronary some time soon considering i'm a CRONE. and i don't take care of myself.
didn't stick to the fast today. again. i just. i dunno. i have no damn excuses. i just kept snacking. little bits here. little bits there. and then my 1/2 a serving Naked Protein. so i capped at 475 cals and i am currently hungry as hell. but i'm so saddened, i just don't feel like eating. which i guess is a good thing.
wow. this post sucks. well, at least i'm finally 112. two more LBS by April. ten more by May. i need some magic, girls. good magic.

damn damn damn CORNBREAD damn
----runs around screaming in hysterics----
arg. and he grills BBQ chicken in BBQ sauce. sweet baby rays. damn. thank god i only ate like 1/2 an ounce of that shit. so like 75 cals for the chicken. 100 cals for the SMALL ASS piece of cornbread. and then i ate cucumber/tomato salad on lettuce with oil and vinegar. BAH. a whole big ASS bowl. i would say like 125 cals for that (give or take). so maybe today.... estimation wise... a total of 425 CALS. i know for sure no more than 500. thank the goddess. but i originally wanted to liquid fast. damn it all.
good news. i did not fail completely and freak out, binge/purge and be a total glutinous pig. usually that is what happens. yet, currently, my stomach is growling like crazy... so at least i had a little self-control.
tomorrow is a new day. i will attempt a liquid fast. again. without eating dinner. stick to my broth and protein drinks. green tea and vitamin water zero. damn. i better do this. cuz i fucking know, come WEDS when i drive down south with my daughter i'm going to be fed like a stock pig by good intentions.
i will be 100 by may. i will be 100 by may. i will be 100 by may.

weak, pathetic, and disgusting... that's me.
i went to this fair and ate half a small order of cheesy fries (CHEESE FUCKING CHEESE), 3/4 a large order of fried broccoli (FRIED FUCKING FRIED), and half a soft salted pretzel. all carbs. all fry butter crap! WTF! i had originally planned on just getting a roasted corn cob (no butter). but NO! i needed cheese and buttery carb fry crap!
i just want to scream.
and i didn't purge cuz the bathrooms there are REVOLTING! and i was with my daughter and H. so no dice. ARG! i feel like a FAT HEIFER! HEIFER!
I'M A HEIFER!
so. tomorrow. serious. as. NAZI FAST! i'm talking no excuses. NO JUSTIFICATIONS! no giving in. i don't care what happens. WATER AND VITAMIN WATER ZERO ONLY. maybe a sugar free red bull. and LOTS OF GREEN TEA! BAH!
soon i'll be heading down south to stay with family for spring break and EASTER. which means LOTS OF EATING. and i cannot fake this shit. cuz this particular part of my family are serious eaters/ feeders. they would hound me until i told them all the truth. i have a very difficult time hiding my issues from these peeps. its not like being around my mom or siblings. this is way different. and very hard for me to explain. i will attempt to be extremely careful, but i know i'm gonna come back after the 4th gaining. so i'm probably going to restrict like crazy until WEDNESDAY (cuz thats when we're leaving). i might even attempt to CRACK DOWN and fast until WEDS with broths and protein drinks (sparingly) and vitamin water and green tea. i'll decide tomorrow after i see how successful i am.
EDIT: i think my period is coming. i'm bloated, irritable, and fucking STARVING. more so than usual. i always get unbelievably ravenous before my cycle comes. it's horrible. and i seriously put on 3 to 5 lbs during my periods. and then out of nowhere, it tends to disappear. some times being a female sucks donkey balls.

overwrought random thoughts

WARNING: massive post, incomprehensible bitch fest
this will be a long one. possibly the longest ever. i don't know if anyone will read this. i'm sure i care too much to even explain. but whatever. there will be no logical sequence to this post. whatsoever. things will spew forth from my mind like vomit and then disappear as they please. ha. vomit. ha ha.
i've been sick. for a very long time. and i'm not talking about the bronchitis that currently ails me. what i am talking about is my head. my heart. all of that jazz. considering the family situations i grew up in. considering several other things. i have taken responsibility for my fractured ways as an adult, yet i WILL NOT say it is MY FAULT for what happened to me as a child and a teenager. fuck them. fuck you. you know who you are (just saying it to feel better, these people do not read this blog.... i hope).
where to start? what to say? specifically, i mean. i have no clue.
i wanted to be healthy. i was..... sort of healthy. i was in recovery, at least. kinda wavered after the girl was born. but then i got back on track for a little. i was a lot better (in regards to my mind and emotions). but then.... his mother came.
i speak. but he does not listen. THEY do not listen. i have NEVER been listened too. as far as i can truly remember.
my world has always been filled with roller coaster drama. if that makes any sense. ever since the date of my conception. i have been deceived, damaged, and unloved. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT! i will scream it at the tops of my lungs if i have to. i know what is my fault. i know what i do wrong. i take responsibility for my actions. however..... I WILL NOT CONDONE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CAUSE THESE ACTIONS.
i will repeat. i make no sense. this is more or less for my own sanity. or at least what i have left of it.
there are no means of stability in my life. no control. i have to make it myself. i've always had to create the illusion for myself. even when i was 5 years old i had to manufacture a sense of belonging and security FOR MYSELF. and it continues this way, no matter what THEY or HE says.
my current living situation. IS. NOT. MY. FAULT.
he wants me to be healthy again. he wants me to be fat. he wants me to be happy. well..... I SAY..... well....
i was those things (not overweight) but in recovery, eating as normal as possible. being healthy. for our little family. and when he told me SHE was coming and i said no. he continued to ask me. over and over. as time went by. persistent bastard. guilting me. saying things would work out. SHE needs to know the girl. SHE needs to be a grandma. i said, she hasn't even met her and she's 2 years old. SHE has never made an effort. never even tried to appear like she cares. i knew, against my better judgement, that NO!, things would be the same. i can't surround myself with shit like HER. for my own sanity and health, SHE can't come here!
its like an alcoholic hanging out at an old bar they used to visit frequently. its like a meth addict attempting to create their own meth lab and not indulge. its like someone with bipolar disorder not taking their meds and then working with needy and emotional children. NO. but he did not listen. so i gave in. feeling guilty. feeling helpless. wanting to comfort him. wanting him to KNOW i love him and want him to be happy. "she will be homeless" he said. "she will be alone" he said. "she will die" he said. and i didn't want those things.
9 years. he knows the type of depression episodes i can go through. 9 years. he knows my entire history. 9 FUCKING years. he knows about ED. he knows about the cutting. he knows about the abuse. HE KNOWS ABOUT EVERYTHING. and yet, this happens. he promised he could deal if she didn't follow through. he said he would take care of it all for US. he said he would make sure to fix things if she didn't change.
now he can't DEAL. now he complains all the time and GUILTS me for wanting her gone. ITS HER FAULT. SHE DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH. SHE ISN'T HELPING ANYTHING. SHE'S MAKING IT ALL WORSE. SHE IS SICKER THAN I AM (like that's possible). SHE'S affecting my girl and our relationship. we have no money. she is more SELFISH than i am. it's disgusting how selfish.
notice. my extreme restricting, weight loss, and weight obsession resumed INTENSELY once she arrived. NOTICE THIS!
i feel trapped. in. my. own. home. i feel uncomfortable. here. with myself. with her. i vomit. EVERY. FUCKING. NIGHT. i say i won't. then i do. i say i know what's going on. i can fix it. i have before. so. many. times. BUT I CAN'T NOW.
all i know is that i will be 100 LBS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! i will not agree to even thinking about recovery until she gets the fuck out. that's it. that's how its going to be.
then i cringe. my girl. is going. to be. so. fucked. up.
how can i do this to my daughter? how can he do this? we need to fix this. i don't know what to do right now. i want to cry. but the tears aren't there. this is how i know i am over my head in ED right now. i don't cry when doing these food things. and i think i really need to sob it out right now. but i don't feel comfortable. in. my. own. home. in. my. own. room. in. my. own. skin.
i wish this post had more meaning. but i guess its good to get it all out somewhere. i feel deeply ashamed of not wanting my mother-in-law here anymore. but the deal was, if she didn't get herself therapy and she didn't do things to help us with my daughter, then she would have to leave. she's been here since November. nothing has happened like he promised. and i don't know what to do.
last night i ate dinner with my girl instead of continuing my pledge of fasting. bcuz i felt guilty. bcuz i didn't want his mother looking at me the way she does. bcuz i didn't want her saying bullshit to him when he got home. then he came home. and we BINGED on a nachos, chips, and ice cream. i purged. took a shower. we fought. about the same old shit. money. his mother. sex (bcuz i will not have it, i don't want to, and i remember how easy it was to stay a virgin throughout high school and my first year of college cuz i was deep into ED and i just don't care about sex when i restrict and puke). me being a cold bitch. me. ME!!
i am currently 112.8. i ate a hard boiled egg today (yolk only). 55 cals. and half a jimmy dean sausage. 60 cals. that's it. i will be drinking tons of green tea and coffee. that's it. FUCK THEM.
i will put food on my plate. i will create the illusion of eating for my daughter. i will let her feed me little bits if she offers. but that's it for today. i don't care what his mother says. "GO BINGE BITCH" i'll say cuz that's all his mother does anyway. i don't care what HE says. he knows the situation. i've been honest about it from the very beginning. i even told him when i started purging again. HE ENABLES EVERYONE. AND HE IS CODEPENDENT WITH HER. i will be 110 by April 1st.

nothing of real importance... just an acrostic... pointless
today is new DAMNED day
i have so much on my mind and so much that i would like to write down, but i just don't feel it today. which actually causes me immense amounts of pain and shame. i'm extremely stressed right now. i wish i could just fade away into sleepy nothingness. yet there's so much to do here. so much that i constantly fail at. so much that i never do right. RAR!
as you can see i'm back to 117 on the dot. all i can say is ARG!
yesterday sucked. BLAH!
today's a new day. haven't eaten anything. no solid foods. had 2 hot green/ginseng teas. lotsa water. 2 cups of coffee with just a little bit of milk (i would say 50 or 60 cals worth since it was whole milk). and a little bit of a protein drink (probably a little less than half a serving = about 80 cals). so far so good. i do not plan on allowing any solid foods pass these lips today! maybe i'll have a little more protein drink and perhaps some broth. i'm estimating no more than 200 cals today!
Thursday, March 4, 2010
blew it on meatloaf and mashed potatoes! ARG!
so here's what i'm gonna do to try and make it up to myself. tomorrow was supposed to be 900. but fuck that, i'm fasting. liquid fasting. no solid foods. and then i'm starting the damn 3579 cycle all over again. two FAST days and then back at 300. FUCK! i'm so damn disgusted with myself right now i could scream.
i'm gonna go on my google agenda and adjust the schedule. hopefully i didn't do too much damage to my progress. i was so close to 115. RAR!!!
sigh. i think i should drink tonight.
how low can u go?
700 cal day. doing good so far. i'm only at 350 cals right now and the current time is 3:13pm. that's awesome!
that leaves me at 350 for dinner! YAY! i'm so excited! i do not plan to consume anything after 6pm. so i feel like i'm in the clear today! thin. slender. slim. skinny. small. light. fit. happy. YAY!

small success
believe it or not, i got up this morning and jumped on the scale and guess what? it read 115.8. can you believe that? i was like HUH? considering i had gained back a LB from drinking Sunday night. but hey. hell yeah!! of course i'm rounding it up to 116. i always round up.
well, i got home from taking my daughter all over the place and weighed myself again before lunch and it read 116.0 exactly. sweet! YAYAYAYAYAY! i'm dying for the scale to read 115 tomorrow. oh please oh please.
in other news, today is a 500 cal day. so far so good. right now i'm at 343 cals total
2 egg yolks (hard boiled)
so that leaves me 157 cals for the rest of the night (mainly for dinner cuz i definitely do not plan on eating after 6pm). wish me luck ladies! i'm feeling positive about this one!
Tuesday, March 2, 2010
