The Fantasy of Being Thin is not just about becoming small enough to be perceived as more acceptable. It is about becoming an entirely different person – one with far more courage, confidence, and luck than the fat you has. It’s not just, “When I’m thin, I’ll look good in a bathing suit”; it’s “When I’m thin, I...

So Columbus Day.
notalexus:
My Top Three Bullshit Holidays:
1) Columbus Day. Do I need to explain this? Don’t make me explain this. My grandfather was named after Christopher Columbus, and one of the worst conversations of my life was trying to explain to him why Columbus shouldn’t be considered a “national hero.” The Worst! The only good thing about Columbus day is that we had the day off of school.

FFF
Feeling fat, frantic and foolish.
Dropped a pound this morning, but I still ate too much today.
I am leaving for Paris in less than 12 hours and I’m not done packing. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO PACK. I am rowing 34 kilometers on Sunday, but I also want to look good in pictures! Augh! Spandex, or nice coat? Sweat pants, or silk skirt?
AND I CAN’T FIND ANY TRAVEL-SIZED BODY WASH TO...

PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter →
I got this today (ordered off Amazon) and it is going to be my lifesaver this time around.
2 tbsp = 45 calories, whereas your typical peanut butter is 2 tbsp = 200 calories.
Tested it out earlier tonight and while it doesn’t taste like your regular store-bought peanut butter, it is definitely peanut-y and yummy. Should have purchased earlier.

Traces
Haven’t really weighed myself since last Thursday. I drank a bit this weekend and that always makes me retain water and so my weight shoots up for about two days afterward. I know it’s just water but seeing that on the scale makes me so depressed and scared and I can feel myself slipping back into that abyss of obsession and blackness.
My last weight was 144.6 lbs
Lifted weights...
