Crazy Dreams

Rhythms from a dashboard drummer

My whole life I have thought that the way to get my shit together was by hating myself so much that I couldn’t take it anymore and I HAD to change.  But it hasn’t worked so far, it’s just made everything worse.  Still, I’m scared that accepting my faults means that I will get complacent and stuck and that I won’t be able to change them.  Then I watched this video, and it made sense to me.  It will take a long time to change years of negative thinking, but  I feel like watching this once a day will help.

I wanna be someone else’s thinspo.

I would love for someone to look at me and say DAMN.  I want HER body.

Day Three of ‘Doing something differently’.

Wow, guys.  I am so sick.  All I had in my system was water, and I just kept puking all through class.  I slept for 3 hours and I feel a little better now, so I ordered some (admittedly unhealthy) lasagna, but it’ll be okay because I’m not going to be eating much more, hahaha.  

We’ll see how it goes.

Edit: Just weighed in, and I lost another 1.5lbs! I’ve lost 4 lbs total since I decided to make a change!!! This quick burst of results is really encouraging.

Weighed in today!

I lost almost 2 and a half pounds!!!! Just from a couple of days of healthy eating and denying my night cravings/candy cravings!

This makes me feel like the weight gain I’ve suffered the past few weeks isn’t permanent :)

Day One of ‘Doing something differently’.

Well, I got a Moleskine large daily planner:

to function as my weight loss/wellness journal.  It’s got the times written on it so I can track what I ate when, when I exercised, and how much water I drank.  It feels good so far…I can’t use MFP, I’ve found that it just replaced my bulimia (I’m a non-purging bulimic, btw) and it made me feel healthier, but I was obsessed with it and used to ask it permission before eating and lie to it, and that wasn’t healthy.  So it’s a nice alternative to My Fitness Pal and it lets me be aware and accountable for what I’m eating without counting calories obsessively.

Well, I think I need to do something different.

I’ve gained all my weight back.  All. Of. It.  I am actually fatter than I was when I started dieting.  It’s too bad that this is a regular occurrence for me.  I wish I could just get liposuction and make this easier, but obviously I can’t afford that, and my parents would never pay for it.

I’ve been asking for ten whole years, and my mother still acts shocked every time I ask, like it’s something new.  I don’t understand why she doesn’t understand.  She can just starve and the weight will fall off.  She just “doesn’t eat on Tuesdays” and that’s just okay. But me? I get hungry.  It’s super upsetting.

I guess I need to start cooking, stop ordering in, and start taking control of my life.  I know I need to exercise, but it just seems like such a gargantuan task because I have to lose 20-25lbs by September, and get my pointe work up to speed if I ever want to wear a tutu ever in my life.  My time is dwindling, and it fucking hurts that I honestly don’t know if I can accomplish my goal since 7th grade.

I’m scared.
