    <content type="html">Never eating just one meal a day again. It's made me gain weight, I don't get it.&lt;br /&gt;I always think I can trick my body, but I know I can't anymore.&lt;br /&gt;Today I'm trying to do a shake/juice fast to see what happens.&lt;br /&gt;121 as of this morning, after being 119'ish two days ago.&lt;br /&gt;I need to get down to 115 urgently. It's not even that far off but it is taking so long and it's been so difficult to stay under 120.&lt;br /&gt;I can't wait until my mom has her trip next week. I can eat what I want without anyone watching me.</content>

(150)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's 550 calories and I just did a pilates tape. I probably won't eat for the rest of the night, if I can help it.&lt;br /&gt;Yep.</content>

    <content type="html">I can't even beleive this. I have struggled so much with my weight in the last few years. It's all I care about.&lt;br /&gt;I finally lost all of the weight I had wanted to. My goal was to be 125 lbs and I got down to 115. &lt;br /&gt;I was happy, but of course everyone said I had taken it too far and my mother ended up telling me I looked, "hideous." &lt;br /&gt;She said she could see my backbone sticking out of my neck. I never thought I looked thin at all, but now when I look back at the photos, I do think I looked thin. &lt;br /&gt;I kept wanting to lose weight, but in the last few months I've slowly put back on about 7 lbs. I cannot seem to get rid of them again.&lt;br /&gt;It seems like those pounds are noticable, but no one had said another until last night.&lt;br /&gt;My friend who I hadn't seen since I was 115 just blurted out, "You've gained weight. You look so good and healthy now." I couldn't even breathe, that's how much it upset me. I could not even smile for one moment the rest of the night. &lt;br /&gt;This morning my brother said, "I hope you weren't upset when Jesse made that comment about your weight, he meant it in a good way." To me, this is just translated to, "Yeah, I agree that you have gained weight." &lt;br /&gt;Why can't I be happy? I use to weight over 200 lbs and never expected to be 122 in my life, let alone 115.&lt;br /&gt;To be truely happy I think I'd need to get down to 110 or 105, but now everytime I try to get back below 120, I cannot seem to do it. Either someone says, "You're so skinny now!" So I feel the "permission" to binge or something or what I'm dealing with now, "You've gained weight!" &lt;br /&gt;Either I'm too fat or I'm too thin, why can't anyone just be happy for my overall weightloss? &lt;br /&gt;How could 7 pounds make such a difference in people's opinions? Everytime I think of it, I literally feel like killing myself or hiding out forever.&lt;br /&gt;I need to get rid of these 7 lbs fast and prove to myself that I can be what I want to be again. Maybe this time I'll actually be able to see myself for being thin like everyone else did. (Yeah, right.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've had an orange in a half, 1/4 of a banana and two strawberries since I've woken up. Also I took 2 Zantrex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know what I'm going to do about the rest of the day. My mother wants to go out to eat, maybe I'll just get a salad without the dressing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought water pills and have a bunch of different diet pills laying around. (Any ones you recommened?)&lt;br /&gt;I've never tried water pills before, anyone know if they really get rid of bloat/puffiness? =\</content>

    <content type="html">I reached my goal of 125 lbs and went below that, dropping to a new low of 115. That was amazing, I just didn't realized it then.&lt;br /&gt;I weight about 123 now and I hate myself. &lt;br /&gt;I'm getting into my old habits and I feel depressed and frustrated with myself. I need to get back where I was and keep some sort of positivity in my life. &lt;br /&gt;I'm not going to weight myself until Sunday. I binged today so I'm expecting to be back around 122-123 by Sunday, depending on what I eat tomorrow and Saturday. &lt;br /&gt;I'm going to be very strikt with myself this time and I'm going to try to track what I eat in here because I know it helped in the past.&lt;br /&gt;This is for Keegan and for a better future. Even if it's just for a moment, I need to know what it's like to be truely happy. &lt;br /&gt;Getting to 110 will not kill me, it will make me stronger and a more positive person.&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to drop the weight and get to 115 again by sometime next week. Maybe Friday or Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;Those last 5 lbs from 115 to 110 will be hard. I'll set my goal of that for June 22nd. &lt;br /&gt;I need to do this, I can't be a fucking baby anymore. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow; Low Carb or under 990 calories for the day. I know doing low carb will be much easier, but I cannot let myself binge on blue cheese or peanut butter again. &lt;br /&gt;Saturday; Low carb or under 990 cals.&lt;br /&gt;Sunday; Low carb&lt;br /&gt;Will weigh myself again on Thrusday after getting back from Syracuse. &lt;br /&gt;I need to feel clean again. When I feel clean I know my body is getting rid of the fast and excess water in my body.&lt;br /&gt;JUST do it. Don't feel sorry for yourself, this will make you happier.</content>

    <content type="html">Ugh, I'm so happy. I just went shopping with my mom and everything fit me!&lt;br /&gt;I have NEVER gone shopping before and had that happen. &lt;br /&gt;I take a size medium now! Just a few months ago an extra large didn't even fit me.&lt;br /&gt;My mom did make me eat today though, and tomorrow's the party I mentioned in the last entry. I just didn't want to feel guilty tomorrow and be depressed, but I probably will now. :-\&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went out to dinner with my dad and got a chicken wrap, I only had half of it, but before we went out my mom made me try  some cookies she made. I'm excited though, I know when to stop eating. I only had a few bites.&lt;br /&gt;I haven't binged in so fucking long. When I have to eat, I eat what I want but only alittle of it. It's been working. Basically I fast all week, and my mom makes me eat sometimes, so I just eat alittle and go back right into the fast. It's been two weeks since the last time I ate a regular meal, until tonight. I don't think I gained though, probably stayed the same...I hope!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw a friend from last year tonight at a record store, last time she saw me I was 186 lbs and miserable, had black hair and looked like shit. &lt;br /&gt;I heard a voice say, "Rebecca...?" She didn't even know if it was really me or not! She ran up to me after I looked over and she said, "Oh my god, you look so awesome! You look SO different!" It made my night. I was about to come home after eating half of the chicken wrap and eat the rest of it, but after hearing that I'm so motivated. Even more then ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not eating the rest of the night, although I still feel bad for eating at all today. I didn't plan on it.&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, I know now I have total control &amp; that's an amazing feeling.</content>
