Week 2: Great start to the week!

So i have lost 11 lbs in 6 days. It feels so great to say that, and I have not binged since i started this diet. But I have come to realize that the ABC diet has too many calories then what I am willing to eat right now. So I am starting my day out with a hot cup of black tea and possibly fasting today. I hope this determination never goes away because I need to meet my goals. Here is a look at my weight loss goals for the next 3 months. So far I am 214 and ahead of schedule.

Week 1: Setting Goals and Overachieving them

 Hello,

So i started this week at a miserable 225.6.  And four days later I am weighing in at 219.4. That is a great start to get motivated for the ABC diet I am starting today.  I lost the weight by restricting calories all day, and when i had to eat in front of someone I would purge as soon as possible.

But that was last week.


This week I am going to try hard not to b/p.. but rather restrict my calories, and see what will happen.


So the ABC diet, is also known as the Ana Boot Camp diet. It is meant to trick your metabolism to keep it elevated. With purging alone, I have ruined my metabolism so hopefully this will help in more than one way.

Eat as many calories as the chart says. I tend to eat less for the  first few days, but those extra calories are need for your body to function during low calorie days. Eat low calorie foods like vegetables and limit fruits to 1 a day. I will be be recording my progress for you guys. I hope to hear some success stories. 

GOODLUCK!! 

Intoduction

I first began feeling self conscious in third grade, when I realized all the other girls in class were smarter, prettier, and had nicer clothes then I had. My mom wold tell me not to eat certain foods or I would get fat, and my dad prepared elaborate meals almost every night.  I started to look at food differently as the year went by. I saw girls who were smaller then me and talked about how their sister's were 'Anorexic'. 

I asked them what Anorexia was and they responded that it was when a 'girl is skinny.' Throughout the year, I became more curious about how their sisters got skinny, and why I was not. My parents around this time, would force me to finish my plate of food, even though I was full. And so the began. 

Around the age of 9, I began occasionally vomiting my food because I figured it could help me lose the baby fat. 

The occasional purging occurred until I was about 13. My father was an abusive alcoholic and my mother addicted to pain medication. This left my home unbearable, and I wanted to escape. At this time, my eating disorder came on full speed. I also began cutting my self with Exacto knifes, mostly on my legs.  At age 16, I got my first job working at a high end retail store. Keeping thin and looking good were part of the job. I went from 198 lbs to 158lbs in 3 months. Everyone commented on my appearance, and I had never felt more beautiful. 

Then I met my boyfriend. It was impossible for me to hide my eating disorder from him because we went out to eat so often. I told him about my struggle with Bulimia and he made me promise that I would  NEVER do it again. Well.. I kept the promise in my own way for 3 years. Limiting my bulimia. I went from 158 lbs to 268 in 3 years.  I felt like a failure. 

So today, I am still with my boyfriend, but we are attending different colleges. The day I moved to college was the day my eating disorder flared like a wild fire. I had no one to regulate what I ate, and so many opportunities to binge and purge. I have been in college for 3 months and I am already down to 224.4 lbs.
