Money tree .

im in a financial crisis. i hate being a college student its horrible on my wallet. i managed to save up $500 and i spent half of it in less than 48 hrs. idk how i even did that. too much shopping and fast food, thats how. oh and i brought my bf call of duty. he was so excited when i gave it to him, it was so cute. but i have a ridiculous credit card bill to pay off and a CNA course that i want to take next summer. which combined is $1600. thats alot of freakin money. i miss being 16 and not having to worry about anything. ive been working since i was 14 but i never really had to. i just loved the indepence. and i have a bad habit with spending. i told myself this time would be different. that i would save every penny so that i wouldnt have to work next semester. a full time job and a third year biology major do not mix well. i mean, up till now ive been doing really well. but VS had a sale and i went into a shopping frenzy. smh at myself.

random. i have like 4 mosquito bites on my legs and i want to peel my skin off, they are so irritating.

and im going back on ny 10 day fast a little sooner than planned. i am disgustes with the amount of food ive consumed this past week and a half. so i need to cleanse my body. i need to be light and empty again. it makes me feel so good. oddly, i havent gained any weight but none the less, i feel soo gross.

have so much to do in so little tine.i have an anatomy test on tuesday tht i havent even begun to study for. ive been so overwhelmed lately. i dont have enough hours in a day to do everything. this job is really time consuming. ive been making to do lists but i never complete them.

as i write this on my phone im sitting in the fitting room at work. i get off i 20 min then off to pull an all nighter. hope i can stay focused, my GPA is riding on this grade :(

over worked and under paid.

remember i love all 34 of you ! :)
be productive ladies.

dark cloud.

but as always im still looking for that silver lining.

which was easier to find after i went SHOPPING! ♥

i got thee absolute cutest pair of brown and black plain leather boots. with it starting to finally look like winter (w. thee exception of today, 74 degrees) i needed some boots that could stand the weather. i own mostly uggs and the rest are made of some freakish material that cant get wet. soooo, it was the perfect excuse to shop! which i shouldnt because i should be saving for spring break. i want to be on somebodies beach. sunbathing. and drinking til my hearts content. and then a little more.

i have an obsession with spending $$$ its so...addictive. i love lovee love shoes. i have a ridiculous amount. and yet, i can never find the right pair to wear.  i also stopped by one of my favorite stores today, Forever XXI. and got a nice little outfit for Thanksgiving. seeing as this will be my first holiday spent with thee boyfriend and his family. im nervous. but i definitely want to look good. im going for dressy casual. a black mini skirt (not too short ), an off the shoulder black and shimmery gold top, and my new black boots. and im going to curl my hair. and top it off with gold accessories i also might add leggings so i dont look like a tramp. ohh and of course i need some good luck. so im painting my nails pink & white. even though it has nothing to do with my color scheme. maybe ill do a neutral color.

it is currently 7pm. i am waiting on my clothes to be free of the dryer. then i have to wash my hair and style it for thursday. and tomorrow i have a full schedule. i have a 8 am class, work 9-6, then straight off to the bf's house. ill be exhausted when i get there. and hopefully too tired to eat.

i wanted to binge sooo badly about 5 minutes ago. i had a subway sandwich earlier. which im sure had a zillion calories. but ive decided to fast until turkey day. i know its only like 28 hrs. but hey, ill take restriction when i can get it. hopefully itll inspire me not to stuff my face with ham and pies.

only a teensy bit of bad news today, i cut. again. dammit! i didnt want to. im lying again. i did. but i held off for a long time. but right before i dashed off to class. i just started carving away. i feel much better now. hopefully by staying busy i wont feel depressed or hungry anytime soon.
my roommate is the thinnest woman on earth. shes probably 5'1 and her collar bones are to die for. she a marvel. and eats like 2 grown men. typical. i envy her genes! shell be my thinspo for now.

And if she doesnt work Minak Kelly definitely will.

Remember,
 i love all 31 of you!
Stay strong Dolls ♥

flatline .

i think this is my shortest post to date.

Since my fast ended, i havent exactly been doing superb. ive sort of flatlined. i havent gained or loss im just teetering in the middle. on the plus side of things i have been going to the gym, but i had to miss three days in a row because of my work schedule which was sucky. i reaaly want to find the courage to fast but ive been craving thanksgiving food. but as soon as its over im gunna restrict, fast, and workout out like crazy until new years. by new years i want to be 20 pounds lighter .

atleast Desperate Housewives is on tonight. :)

bipolar

maybe..i am.
less than an hour ago i was near suicidal. but now i feel hopeful. i guess the optimist in me couldnt see me suffer. there are 3 things that always make me feel better. doing my nails. doing my hair. and playing in make up. im going to blast some music. turn on desperate housewives and gossip girl. do my hair until my hearts content. and paint my nails 2 of my fav. colors. lime green & pink. then hit the gym :)

lesson numero uno.

Disappearing Act, Day Nine ♥

sorry ive been MIA ladies, ive just been really busy. ive had birthdays to shop for, lab practicals to study for, a room to clean, dishes to do, hair to not do (unfortunately), a boyfriend to entertain, the gym, and lets not forget work. oh joy.

im exhausted, ive just came from my lab practical. and i did horrendous. i feel soo ashamed. i studied...sort of. this is my Anatomy class. i have to do well. ughhh! this makes this whole semester useless. all my hard work up til now and i screw up. im soo upset. im sure its because ive been working so much. but my rational is, im only seasonal. so i might as well make as much money as i can. i feel so defeated.

216 hours. i havent eaten anything. and i stopped drinking my lovely lemonade. i finally stopped being cheap and got a case of water. i feel ok. my body doesnt feel deprived but i feel much thinner :) ive lost 9 pounds. its actually making me nervous. i hope its not water weight and it just piles back on in a week. im scared to eat. the mind set i have now is so steadfast. im scared if i put even one morsel of food in my mouth, i wont be able to stop. i have been going to the gym every day since my last post. and burning 500-1000 calories each time. ive been lifting weight and doing jumping exercises to get me ready for when i decide to start ballet/cheer again. i have a love/hate relationship w. dance. i loove it so much. how it makes me feel. graceful and elegant. but at the same time i never feel good enough. like if i lost 10 more pounds i could jump higher. spin faster.

my roommates ordered pizza last night. it was awful. the smell made me nauseous. ive spent half of the little money i have saved so far. and ill probably spend my next check. i want to get my hair done for the holidays.
since im going to my bf's, i want to look my absolute best.

im so confused right now. im quite sad that the fast ends tomorrow. i fill like i lack purpose. these last 10 days have been a blessing in disguise. its the first time in a long time i havent felt worthless. like i deserve something better than....right now. one day, my body will be perfect. and so will my life. heres to wishful thinking. but as for today i will wallow in misery because of my anatomy class. i hope i dont cut. i think ill go spend 2 hrs at the gym. minimum. might as well hurt myself nad be productive at the same time, right? ive decided i might extend my fast till thanksgiving with the exception of eating 1 Nature Valley granola bar per day (each pack has 2 bars, which would give me 190 cals per day). as a punishment. i dont deserve to eat. i make a vow to not eat til im happy. im so disappointed in myself. im scared to tell my parents and bf. mostly him, hes been calling since 10 am.i cant bear to face him  yet. he'll be disappointed anhd supportive. he'll tell me he loves me and itll be ok. and ill pretend hes right and smile. while inside i feel like dying. i know most of you might say. you need to rest, eat a little something. but i cant. i dont feel worthy of anything. i want to sit alone in this dark room til class tomorrow morning at 8. then i have work from 1-10. then i work friday. and im off the entire weekend. ill study (if i even bother to salvage whats left of my already mediocre grade.). and ill go to the gym. ill use the stair master until my feet fall off.

i feel pessimistic. which is definitely new for me.i always see the silver lining. i am usually always upbeat. and when im not. i fake it. well, i dont feel like faking right now. i dont want  to pretend. i want to be allowed to feel miserable. for once. i cant even fully rejoice in this milestone. i dont feel victorious. i feel like. ok i did 10 days. big whoop. but can i do 10 more?

i still love all 29 of you! ♥
hope you guys are feeling better than me :)

Mixed Emotions, Day Five ♥

120 hours. thats how long ive gone without eating. i feel ...strange.

I mean im ecstatic that ive been able to withhold this long but still. my boyfriend picked me up from work tonight and offered me taco bell. i wanted some sooo bad, but i said no. Its weird i can go pretty long without eating during the day, i start to get hungry about 8 or 9 p.m. but the hunger pains arent bad. my stomach hasnt even growled. at least not loudly. i just feel it rumbling, anxiously. i cant tell if im not eating because im not hungry or because of the fast. im glad i work evenings because it ensures that i wont eat. but im getting switched to morning shifts (which would be much easier) but hopefully it doesnt slow down my progress.

my feet hurt so bad. its agony. ive been on them non stop for 10 hrs. my heels are burning. the only good part is that im burning calories, hopefully.

i was craving food soooo bad earlier. pizza, taco bell, subway, anything really. but im not gunna cave. only 5 more days. if i quit it'll make these last five days of starvation worthless.

i did a weigh in about 20 min ago. and i thought i would have atleast lost another pound or two. but, no. im .2 pounds lighter than i was yesterday. hmph! stupid scale >___<

have a lovely foodless day, i love all 27 of you!♥

i hate my job, Day 4 ♥

typical. i beg and pray for a job then i finally get one. and i hate it. i abso-freakin-lutely HATE it. the one positive is that it makes me want to do even better in school so i dont have to work in retail for the next 50  yrs.

Im listening to She & Him. both of their albums are on shuffle. love them. they make me feel so peaceful and like im in the 20's lol. its like beach boys meets ....ummm something else amazing :)


Today is day 4. i ate NOTHING! I am completely empty and my weight loss is improving everyydayyy. Ive lost the 5 pounds that i regained, already (in only 4 days!!). so technically im back at square one (so im still   -8 from the original weigh in.) but im happy, nonetheless. because had i not been fasting id probably would have gained all 8 pounds back. which im sure would have pushed me over the edge. i'd have been a cutting maniac. but, i digress, back to positivity.

I just realized that i type so sporadically. and i lack organization. my posts are very random and every paragraph (well, my version of it) is something different. but hey, thats me. anywhoooooo....

I almsot gave into a nasty craving pepperoni lover w. stuffed crust pizza. me and my bf were gunna go down the street and pick one up. but i said no. i thought really hard. and although i realllllly wanted it. i dont want the fat, calories, or artery clogging grease. ewwwww.

I mean i practically float when i walk im soooo happy. i havent eaten in four days. i have never done this. ever. only 6 more! i wonder when its gunna get unbearable. i mean so far its been fairly easy except for the minor stomach growl. im doing ok. hopefully my body is sucking up all my fat.

I have been fantasizing all day about how much weight i could lose this month. and ive been working on my workout plan for the next 10 days. ill be visiting the gym every single day. and twice a day atleast 5 days a week. ill be doing, stair master, leg press, and some light lifting to tone my flabby arms. im beyond excited.
it may sound like im putting too much pressure on myself. but thats exactly what i need :). i like the 10 day challenge. its so invigorating. you guys seriously have to try it. theres nothing like it :) i realized my weakness is saying "Im not going to eat anything but carrots for the next month." only a greek god can do that. im too weak to put food off or even stay focused for a long period of time like that . i think i have ADD. but in little spurts i can exercise some serious self control :)

good luck my beautiful ladies. remember perseverance is the key to success. i loooove all 26 of you! ♥
