So, in the past two days I've gained two pounds and this is incredibly frustrating and infuriating, since I've been walking, running, drinking water, and eating less than six-hundred calories a day. This should not be happening, but it is. Either six-hundred calories is too many (which it is), or I'm going to get my period this month. I hate it when that happens-- usually only four times a year or so, which is probably not good considering I am not (nor have I ever been) on any sort of hormone messer-uppers/ birth control pill-type thingies. When it does, I gain weight and it's awful. Also, really, really unfair. And a sign that I've failed.
Also, I feel really really really full and really really really really fat. I look at all these other girls around me, and there is no way that they could possibly weigh as much as I do. And it makes me feel like an enormous (literally) failure. I see all my flaws, like how thick my thighs are and the way that my stomach isn't perfectly flat and that my arms are kind of soft and I hate all of this. I want it gone, I want it burned out from the inside. I did try to purge in the shower this morning, but I didn't right away and I didn't keep trying after the first failed attempt because the pressure to my already throbbing head was too much and i was in one of those awfully self-destructive "fuck it" sort of moods. Still am, actually.
I want to be a skeleton, eaten away from the inside out. I don't care how disgusting that sounds. I don't deserve food, I eat way too much of it, and no amount of food is small enough. I have to start drinking water whenever I feel even the faintest desire for food, have to start working out whenever I think about food at all. I have to stop eating certain things, things that will never make me look the way I want to look. Bananas and plums aren't in season anymore, and I think apples and oranges are better for you, anyway. In any case, they're coming into season now (particularly apples), so that will become breakfast. I'm going to start carrying around a lunch bag, just so that I can have cold, fat-free yogurt for lunch. That's sixty or eighty calories, depending on the brand. So that means I'll have had 180 calories by dinner. Which means that technically I could have 420 more, but that would be insane. What I'll probably start eating is a rotation of Lean Cuisines... The schedule will look like this:
Monday: salmon and orzo (220?)
Tuesday: roast chicken (180?)
Wednesday: rice and beans (270)
Thursday: canneloni (240)
Friday: salmon and orzo (220?)
Saturday: samosa (260)
Sunday: turkey & vegetables (150)
What's kind of sad is that I did that from memory... I don't know why I memorize calorie counts (and incorrectly, at that), but I do.
I don't know why I'm even bothering with the plan, writing it out like this. I'm just freaking myself out. I don't know what I'm saying, because my heat hurts too badly. I don't know what I want anymore, except to disappear.
