Thank you! It's extremely motivating to know that someone actually reads through it haha.
I sort of fell away from tumblr for a bit and haven't posted on dailyskinny in forever... I have a whole folder full of stuff to post there haha. I suppose I better get a queue set up!

Aww, thanks. This is the only question/comment/statement I've gotten in the past 3 days that actually has any sort of context or relation to my tumblr at all. And I've gotten like 19 messages.
Someone has been spamming my formspring with a bunch of really random stupid questions, I mean they're not stupid but they have no context and some of them are obviously just spam, so I'm turning off anonymous questions. -

I probably would aim for a BMI of 17 at first. If you're still not satisfied, go for a 16.5. A BMI of 16 will probably be a little harder to pull off looking healthy still.
And remember, don't kill your metabolism in the process of getting there! A reminder to all the people that read this bog: I don't advocate eating disorders, though I understand them. If you are disordered, strive for recovery and maintaining a low weight by eating a low-calorie ((1000-1300c/day)) diet of healthy, unprocessed, mostly raw whole foods, and exercise. You will look and feel better than if you were just starving yourself down to nothing! :) -
I use general BMI numbers for my goal. My goal BMI is 17.7. I guess it would depend on your frame too though. I have a small frame so I am aiming less than the standard "underweight" BMI of 18.5. But a lot of times if you have a wider or larger frame, getting under 18 or 18.5 makes you look very skeletal which I personally don't find attractive. I think skinny girls look best when they look like they're naturally thin. Or at least MORE naturally thin than just being bony, sharp, and angular. At that point, girls stop looking like feminine and sexy, in my opinion.

It looks interesting and probably like it's a good story that has a moral to it. I might watch it, though I doubt I'd go see it in the theatre, I rarely go to the movies. Seems like such a waste of money to me, paying $9-10 to watch a movie with a bunch of noisy people haha. I like to be the only noisy person spouting off my opinions mid-movie! Haha. Besides that, from a theological perspective, I don't believe in ghosts nor in the afterlife, so that's a bit iffy to me. I do however tolerate such concepts just fine in fictional media. Besides that, the chick is lovely and I envy her body quite a bit.

Well I feel you on the self-loathing. I'm aiming to lose just shy of 20 pounds over the next two months. I feel this is a pretty reasonable goal. I've gone vegan, for the first step in losing this weight. If you can, I would also suggest trying to go vegan. It kinda sucks because all my favourite foods aren't vegan friendly, but it's what I have to do to lose this weight and I know it. I'm also still restricting my calories to 1300 a day or less, and trying to eat balanced even though I won't have any animal proteins like meat or dairy. Instead I'm opting for things like beans, nuts, and tofu. And soy milk.
The next thing I'd recommend is completely eliminating any added or processed sugars from your diet. I did this long ago, the only sugars your body really needs are from fruits and veggies. That being said, buy the plain soy milk as opposed to the sweetened vanilla, and avoid sugary cereals. If you must have sweeteners in your diet, opt for Splenda or Stevia, as Aspartame actually tricks your brain and metabolism and makes you gain weight, and have cravings. Stevia is your best option, but it's a bit expensive so I usually use Splenda. Aspartame is in diet sodas too, completely remove them from your diet. Opt for lemon water instead.
Next I would say exercise as much as you can! 15 pounds in a month is a pretty hefty goal, I don't think I could do it... But that's just because I have a huge aversion to exercise haha. I don't have a gym membership any more, which is pretty lame, but now that I've decided to stop drinking ((too many empty calories and sugars)) I'll have a lot more time for simple things like taking walks or bike rides. Really, any exercise is good, and the harder you work the better.
My friend M, who is in FANTASTIC shape, always tells me to push yourself so hard you think you might die, and then push yourself one level harder yet, and that's how you know you're getting somewhere. So if you're running, push yourself til you think you might collapse, but force yourself to keep it up for another 5 minutes. Or if you're weight-lifting or doing body-weight exercises like pushups, do it til you think your arms are going to give out, then make yourself do 5 more reps.
That's the best advice I can give you! And seriously, make sure to eat at least 1000 calories a day to keep your metabolism active, you don't want it to shit out on you and go into starvation mode and save every little scrap you eat as fat. Just make sure to eat lots of healthy foods. :)
Good luck with your goals, and make sure to let me know how it goes if you stick to it. :) -
The photos of who? I'm confused.

I already totally fucked up and smoked with Kyles on my morning break and binged. I feel awful. :/ Luckily I'm going to leave on a 10.5 mile bike ride in a few minutes. If I'm not feeling like I burned enough after that, I'm going for a run.
Then out to Brett's for some sexercise.
Because I'm pretty sure I ruined my entire past handful of days of doing AWESOME all in like 20 minutes of shoveling down food today. Ugh. :/ -
That sucks about the rude lady. Some people are so unappreciative! I would have snatched the wallet back and dipped out before she got a good look at me or learned my name hahaha.
I'm going to save my dollars and HOPEFULLY get this camera:

Though I may buy another shock/waterproof point and shoot too:

The one I had stolen was the equivalent to that orange one, except an older model. It was also orange hahaha.
This just really sucks, I am SUPER broke right now and can't really afford anything :/. I have my DWI to pay for and stuff. Bleh. -
Honestly I never had a negative body image until a couple years after I stopped ballet ((I stopped when I graduated high school at 17, a few months before I turned 18.)) But honestly I was also a lot thinner naturally back then, and dancing for 7-10 hours a week contributed to my leaner figure. However, I never was the thinnest girl in class, and looking back I guess that did kind of irk me a little bit, just because the other girls would look more graceful and natural at it than I would. My dance studio never encouraged girls to lose weight though, however they would drop girls into lower level classes if they couldn't perform as well as the thinner girls who were more flexible and able-footed.
I do think that more serious dance studios, especially ones that pressure girls to lose weight or maintain a certain look, do contribute to eating disorders. Just the same as a gymnastics center with a coach that tells girls to constantly "slim down" or "lose a few pounds" or "you're too heavy for this sport", I think that constant outside pressure like that, no matter in ballet, gymnastics, at home, within a group of girls, or wherever definitely triggers eating disorders.
And it is unfortunate about your friends, I hope they seek help. -
A period in my life where I was binging and purging on and off.

The only skinny-inspiration tumblrs I really follow are hatehandles and fuckyeahskinnybitch. I have some other ones but most of them are defunct and never post any more. I also check the "skinny" and "thinspo" tags I have docked on my sidebar to the right over here. >
((You know what I mean?))
I find my pictures from all around the internet, but most of them come from the _realthin community on livejournal, but it's a closed-membership community so if you're not already a member you're pretty screwed in terms of membership. They opened membership for ONE DAY last month for the first time in like 2 years, so yeah. I've been following that comm since like 2006 though haha.
Honestly, if and of you guys have good tumblrs to recommend, let's hear it! -

A cleaning to-do list yesterday when I got home from Tim's... My apartment was pretty trashed from that little party we had and I wanted to make sure I didn't forget to do anything.
Or else my signature on a receipt last night, but I'm not sure if that counts. -
Well I've been considering moving also, to San Diego to live with a friend for a while and work for his company til I got on my own two feet there. It would be a lot closer to Arizona than Minnesota is. But it just seems futile. Harvey doesn't love me. He probably never will.
I feel so crushed in all of this. All I want is for him to stay. I've been begging him for months and months. But he wants to leave. There's a school there he wants to go to. He says he'll probably never move back after he finishes.
I told him last night, that I would miss him, and that I would want to visit him. I've always wanted to go to Arizona anyway, and see the Grand Canyon.
Honestly I'd be fine to go to Arizona and never leave his apartment. Never see any of the amazing things there, as long as I could see him.
But he's going to leave, and he's going to forget about me, and meet some new girl that he likes for both sex and dating, as opposed to this split shit he's got going on with me and the wife.
I should be happy for him. I am happy for him.
But I know that I'm going to have a breakdown when it's time for him to leave and beg him and cry and tell him that I love him and it won't be any good and in all honesty it will most likely think I'm pathetic and disgusting. Because really, I kind of am. What kind of person is so obsessed and in love with someone who will never love them back and they know it? A sad, pitiful one, so much that really I kind of disgust myself.
Meh. I don't know. This is rambly. I'm really all over the place and fucked up about this whole situation right now. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel or what I'm supposed to do about it. Sigh. I've got a month. I'll figure it out. -
LOL.
Because of Kyle's Wood being a silly bastard all the time and ruining it for everyone else. XD
