happy belated turkeyless thanksgiving
This past week has been really hard for me. I don't know if it's the fact that I'm PMSing that's throwing my emotions out of wack (it's almost like the medicine stops working when I'm on my period) but something just hasn't been right. I've also been having a really hard time with my eating disorder the last week more than usual. I don't want to go ( Read more... ) -
i repeat, carbs are NOT the spawn of satan
Blegh. The last few days have been really odd. I keep over-eating when I come home and I don't know why, since I'm trying to lose weight. [I was 118 during summer then gave up on exercise & control of my eating habits and gained 20 pounds...

People disgust me. I haven't been so disgusted with human beings in a long time, but today I found myself both angry and appalled at the actions of certain people.

I stood there watching as a man smoked his cigarette and blew ( Read more... ) -
yummy cookie.. chunks??
Today was actually pretty good. For the first part I just did the usual surfing the internet, eating my organic vegan blueberry waffles & pure maple syrup (=D) and then dreaming of a world where I have my own garden to work on and dogs to walk. But then I had to come back to reality where it was raining and I had an AP Government project to do. So ( Read more... ) -
...variety is the spice of life
"When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste." -Laiko BahrsSoooo, I like how the plan for this weekend was to make sure I finished my campaign project and working on my collage for my psychologist. But what did I do instead? Spent endless hours looking through different vegan communities and sites looking for various recipes ( Read more... ) -
i need nutrientssss
Ughhh I feel like crap! (As if that little barfing star as my mood didn't already indicate that...) I don't know if it's because I'm sick or if it's something more like not getting enough nutrients. I'm leaning towards the latter - mainly because a few weeks after taking Lexapro my appetite basically disappeared. Which to be honest I was a little ( Read more... )
