Yesterday was my graduation dinner. My parents hosted 10 of us at a great seafood restaurant, it must have cost way too much though. At least I let them pick the place so I don't have to feel guilty about the tab. My mom made cheesecake, which was nice, but fatty. I had chargrilled tuna and brussel sprouts. Yum. I love raw tuna, it's kind of

I know, sorry to be annoying by saying that in your journal, I just tried then on and was excited. I want to be a size 0. I wasn't sure I could do it, but with as fat as I am now, I totally can. It's a process though, I'm such a pig.

no i totally understand being excited, and im fat all the time since ive been home so i was just as excited trying on my new pants too :P

and id love to be a 0 as well, before i never thought it possible w/my body (even if i got thin, i just thought i was more "medium" built), but now i see my bone structure is smaller than i thought, it was just the layers of fat distorting my image haha

so hopefully we can both reach 0s!

if anyone thinks a size 2 is fat then they need to re-evaluate some things. if you are healthy and eat right, your body will be the way it wants to and needs to be. its so sad to me that women are told that they need to be as tiny as possible in order to be beautiful. clothing size means nothing in the long run. however, thanks to our wonderful media and women's standards of beauty, young, healthy women are told to be obsessed with getting down just a few sizes smaller, to be obsessed with the size 0 or size 2, obessed with maintaing beauity...but for who? please don't buy into it.

Don't judge. I feel good when I'm thinner. Sizes don't matter, but I do know where I want to be. Now I eat terribly and I never exercise. If I start taking more time to do active things and eat a healthy diet I will probably drop 10-15 lbs at least from where I am now within a month. At my height, a size 0 isn't unhealthy. I could weigh as little as 90 lbs and still be a healthy weight. Losing weight too fast, or for the wrong reasons are unhealthy, I agree. But I think I'm pretty now, and I don't necessarily think I'm too heavy, I'm just really out of shape. I also eat when I'm stressed and this last semester was really stressful, so I was eating all the time and I have the fat to lose.

Recognizing and resisting the media's pressure to be emaciated is important, but I also think it's important to take care of my body and try to be healthy and slim. As a first world white woman who has never smoked, and drinks in moderation, I could potentially live to be 100+ if I watch my weight
