Ht. 5'6", Start: 221 lb, Today: 215 lb, Goal: 150 lb - so basically, i lost five pounds in three days. that'd be great, if i was doing it the right way. the past three days i've had one meal a day and no snacks. last night, i was so proud of myself. i had a sleepover with three of my best friends and as we were playing a board game, my mom brought out some punch, this AMAZING pepperoni bread, and a huge tray of chocolates and candy. now, usually i'd scarf down a huge helping of all of that, but i didn't take a thing.. it was hard! i was so proud of myself though.. and the friends that know about my diet, were proud of me too. the past three days i've had: 1. well three nights ago my best friend megan invited me to go out with my other best friend rachael, so we went to a really fattening mexican place. i figured since i hadn't eaten all day that it wouldn't matter what i got. so i got a chicken quesadilla with beans and cheese and a water. GREEEEAT. that added about 100 pounds to me. 2. yesterday i went out to dinner.. again, with my best friends sam, rachael, and megan. we went to rocknes. i got a chicken salad with light italian dressing and a water. i didn't finish the salad, so that's good. 3. today, since i had a sleepover, i made breakfast for everyone and we had french toast. not the best choice, but i'm sure i'll be okay. i had three pieces, which sucks. i regret it now, but if i don't eat for the rest of the day i'll be fine. i drank some skim milk with the toast. i know what i'm doing is wrong, but it seems to be working. woo!

Plz plz plz stop what you're doing while you still have control. Honestly you may feel good just now but going down that road will eventually make you feel the worst you have ever felt in your life. Believe me i used to do what you're doing now and after starving myself for so long i ended up bingeing and i am now recovering from bulimia. I know its hard to just cut down on what you're eating and exercise when skipping meals seems so much easier but trust me its the only way to lose weight without getting an ED and im sure you dont want to get an ED. I hope you take whitney and I's advice here as we are speaking from experience!

I know it seems easy but its really a horrible path u are getting urself on. Trust me I am recovering from eating disorders. I had anorexia and bulimia and was even hospitalized for it. Its so hard because everyday I have to fight it off the urge to go back but you have to keep thinking about ur health and how in the long run its really not worth it .

I know what you are going through... I keep falling into that trap, stop yourself before it is too late...
