More Excuses

Reasons why you're losing weight:

• "School/work is stressing me out lately that is all" 
• "It's the birth control/antidepressant they've got me on! I swear this stuff is the worst"
• "I have a cold, I am getting over it now though so I should be able to enjoy all the grub I want again!"
• "I had a big breakfast/late breakfast/big lunch/late lunch" 
• "Oh don't worry I ate before I came! Thanks though!"
•  "Can I wrap that up for later? I just had a huge binge fest on ____"
• "I'm actually going to pick something up on the way"
• "I'm going out for lunch/dinner"
• "I'm going out with friends so don't wait up!" 
• "I've got this really big paper in English due tomorrow, can I eat in my room just this once to finish?" 
• "I don't like _______"
• "I am allergic to _________"
• "________ makes my stomach hurt really bad for some reason."
• "I've got the worst headache, please the smell of it alone is making me sick!"
• "I swear it is all the running they have us do in gym, they work us like dogs!" 
• "What are you talking about? I am naturally thin!"
• "Uh maybe it is because I have a fast metabolism?"
• "Fuck off and stop worrying about my eating habits?"
• "Slow metabolism, ate a late breakfast so I won't be hungry until dinner!" 

TIPS:

• Drink diet fizzy drinks whenever possible, it fills you up and also causes slight bloating to make it look like you just ate.
• Drink lots of water and wear layers to add weight when you go to the doctor (if possible wear boots)
• Wear baggy clothes to hide weight loss 
• Celery is basically like eating air so eat it when hungry/before weigh-ins at the doctor
• Pretend to be bloated and have a tummy ache when you wake up in the morning and say "no more late night binges" this might get you out of breakfast.
• Grab a breakfast bar/apple and take a bite as you walk out the door and spit it out outside.
• Walk/Run everywhere, do lunges while you watch TV, bounce your leg when sitting
• Have a "cheat" day every month and focus on that every time you want to give in, if you give in you get no reward on cheat day (by cheat I mean bran muffin or something)

DO NOT FUCKING BRAG ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS OR YOUR DIET TO ANYONE!

EVEN IF YOU ARE "FAT" RIGHT NOW. 

ONE DAY YOU WILL BE THIN AND PEOPLE WILL BEGIN TO WORRY AND REMEMBER ALL THE CRASH DIETS YOU'VE DONE

Fainting/Nourishment Tips

My mother is right on the line to becoming a Type 2 Diabetic and so she buys these: 

They are 200 calories a piece (yes, it is a lot, but hold on and listen)

it contains: 

200 kcal is not a lot if it is for the entire day, it cuts out all of my cravings and desire to eat, fills me up, and makes it a LOT easier to be around sweets without ever once wanting to eat any.

AND because this is a diabetic drink it helps control blood sugar spikes and is a WONDERFUL alternative to binging (200 kcal drink or 2000 kcal binge?), it satisfies that chocolate fix and tastes great (it smells kind of blah though)

They are slightly expensive though and if you get a case you should only be drinking one every few days between fasts/restricting to prevent fainting/hair loss/brittle nails/hunger pain/ etc. 

Worst Sweet 16 Ever

So I had originally told myself to have no expectations for today and even without any expectations my family STILL managed to disappoint me and make this the worst day of my entire life. 

No, I am not talking about getting the wrong colour Ferrari or some pathetically selfish crap like that

My mother never came in my room before she left for work to say happy birthday, instead she sent it in a text. The card she left on the counter said nothing except "Happy birthday love mom, dad and the pups xxx" 

I won't even see her until 2-3 am when she gets off and by then my birthday will be over.

The one thing I asked for and they can't get it because they can't afford it due to my father's cigarette addiction and my mother's spending/gambling one. 

My sister did not even come over (she literally lives right down the freaking road) 

Not that I would eat it, I didn't even want one, but there was no cake, and when they asked what cake I wanted YESTERDAY (the day before) my mother was like "I bet she wants chocolate mmmm isn't that right" 

I hate chocolate cake!!!

I can't expect anything out of today, not a forced family dinner, cake, awkward birthday song, gift(s)... nothing... not even a mediocre movie with my family... I fucking hate them all 

All I wanted was for my mother to take off work and my sister to come over and spend the day with me, watch a movie together or go out to a bookstore or the boardwalk dammit I don't know! 

I am so depressed I thought my life would be so different... I thought I would have learned to drive by now, have braces by now, be pretty/skinny by now, my parents would know me by now...

Not one balloon.

While having parents who never pay attention to me may be good when it comes to Ana

...it sucks for everything else.
