Perfection x

"As we approach this holiday season is there any rhyme or reason?
That good will shouldn't abound?
To and through us the whole year round?"



I'm new.. please explain how this works?
My name is Raelynn
& I'm 16 from Iowa.



So today is interesting..
I've been making a copy of the starry night night painting by Van Gogh & its a lot harder then I thought. :P I finally got more paint.

So far today I've had half of a light yoplait yogurt.
I just had to place something in my stomach so people would stop asking if I was hungry >.<

Adam is getting a cell phone today.. his grandparents offered to pay for it.
So all day he's been bouncing around like a 6 year old in a toy store.

its cute & extremely annoying.. because not only does he not need it but now he'll never place it down & I'm slightly jealous because mine is still turned off.

I actually need mine on for a job and for when i'm coming to and from classes in the snow.. & tomorrow we're going to have an extremely shitty snow storm and i'm not looking forward to it at all.

Oh well.
-shoots self-


I think i'm getting sick. I've been extremely cold all day and my throat hurts and my nose is all runny.

eww.

i'm also still lacking sleep. :(



I most likely wont be able to update till after january 4th. I'll be all over the united states.

So I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.
Stay safe, Stay warm... but remember think thin, keep your goals don't let yourselves down :)


you can do it.


Much love.Stay strong.

(whisper)-Merry Christmas-(whisper)

omigod i was 117.6 this morning!!! i began last month at 127-128!!! THANK GOD! the master cleanse is what works for me to get past that hump that is so hard for me. i can definitely see and feel a change today from yesterday in my face. yay cheekbones that i haven't seen in forever. i'm 2.4lbs away from my first goal of 115, then hopefully 113. i plan on doing the lemonade fast for one more full day if possible then i fly home for xmas to face the holidays and try to keep it off.

a ten point day! those seem to be rare these days so i am very happy. the five pound loss may be inaccurate cause i haven't checked the scale in awhile. hopefully i'm still 129. i still feel the same, and i can usually tell when i put on even the smallest bit of weight after losing some. i'll be checking tomorrow morning. hope everyone's day was good today, xx

Fail!

I don't understand. I don't get it. Why is food so freaking important to people? It's disgusting! And having it forced down your throat makes it so much worse... I cannot stand people jumping in the middle of things and forcing me to eat.

This morning my mom and I were home together and she made me eat. Then she went to the store, my dad came home, and he made me eat! And I mean literally made me eat. WTF?!?!? I'm 22 years old for God's sake! And it couldn't be something healthy.... Oh no. It had to be full of fat and starch and calories! There's no way I'm going to be able to work it all off! YUCK! I was able to get rid of some of it, but not nearly enough.

Tomorrow I work a double, so I'll be at work all day. That means a full and total fast. And not a minute too soon. I'll be on my feet from 10 am until at least 7 pm, so that should work off some of the nastiness that I was forced to take in today. My last weigh in yesterday was at 126.5. I'm still a cow at that weight, and I'm sure I'm up from that considerably.

Part of me wishes I didn't care so much about my weight and my size. I wish I could be normal and not care. But then part of me thinks of what I would be like if that were the case and it makes me sick. This back and forth thing in my head is going to be the death of me. It keeps me locked up inside myself so alone... Even when I'm with someone I'm alone. I don't have much of anything in common with anyone I meet. I can't seem to connect. I'm alone in my head and it seems that no one on the outside can understand me.

I fear that I am doomed to be disgusting, heartbroken, and alone the rest of my life..... :-/

Food - 2/2 estimate of too many calories kept down. UGH. what happened to my motivation?!
Water - 2/2
Exercise - 2/2 worked out for 5 hours
Journaling/Posting - 2/2 i'm pretty sure you're reading this...
Daily Self Esteem Challenge - 2/2 i caught up on some sleep, programed some numbers into my phone and made it a little prettier with a wintery tinkerbell wallpaper <3 and wrappeded up some christmas gifts

Food - 2/2 estimate of no calories. held a 24 hour fast. i know i can do better
Water - 2/2
Exercise - 2/2 worked out for 4 hours
Journaling/Posting - 2/2 yess
Daily Self Esteem Challenge - 2/2 i cleaned the house, did some random organizing and cleaned up some of the random christmas things that were laying around. also picked up decorations that my kittie keeps knocking down from the christmas tree. i'm just waiting for it to fall over ^.^

Alright, I'm serious this time.

Tomorrow I restart. I would have today, except my mom made corn beef and cabbage last night and, though I don't eat meat, the cabbage/potato mixture was just calling to me today. I could have started today, but I want to do it on a good note.

So tonight, 3 hours (hopefully) at the gym to work today off, and tomorrow back to tight portion controls and calorie counting (800-1000), all-liquid diet until after the 25th and hitting the gym every night (except the 24th, 25th, and 31st since they're not open). And I'm not going to do the daily self-esteem challenge, but I'll earn those points by working 2 hours on my artwork every day.

I might buy a new scale, too, and keep it hidden while I'm home to get a jump start on this. I think I'm around 140-150, and I want to be down to about 125 by the end of March. I know seeing how much my fat ass weighs will encourage me to stick to my diet. Gotta look good for my gallery show in April!

I just lost track after not posting for weeks so DAY 1.

I realize that I really need to diet. Im getting really sloppy!!!

To get a 2 for food I cant do any binging, eat no more than 3 meals per day and NORMAL PORTIONS at each meal. NO DESSERT. NONE NONE NONE
