5 days & satisfied.

So it's been 5 days.
First time I weighed myself was on the 17/10/09 & weighed 56.4kg - I don't have scales at home.. so only chance to weigh myself is at Donna's house (my other friends either don't have scales or accurate ones anyway)
Next time was last thursday, I weighed 55.5kg (a loss of 0.8- however that could have been food & water weight lost??)
Anyways so last night I was at Don's, swimming in her pool, & weighed myself- 54.7kg (loss of 1.7kg)
It's not alot but I suppose it's a start.
This last week I've been eating:
Breakfast:1/2 cup porridge
Recess: One piece of fruit (apple or orange)
Lunch: Small salad
Afternoon Tea: Another piece of fruit (watermelon, strawberries)
Dinner: Small salad
I'm paranoid about eating 4/5 times a day & getting all the required fruits/veg each day. I don't want to stuff my metabolism!
I'm also just eating when Im hungry.. so sometimes I eat smaller amount than usual or skip a snack.
Hope I can keep it up & lose more. (We'll soon see ;P)
P.s I got my Learner's license today & am stoked to get my mum off my back about it.

Day Two

Hola,
Dia dos!
So been completely vegan so far today. Meals consisted of the recommended 2 fruits and 5 veg a day along with some grains.
Belly dancing tonight, which can be quite a workout, so looking forward to that.

Just thought I'd set it straight & putting it in writing, so I can look back for progress.
Current weight= 56.4kg /124.1 lbs Goal weight= 50kg/110 lbs
Current height= 165cm /5"4
It's along way to go but I keep telling myself: "Nothing tastes as good as being skinny." - It helps alot.

I want to be that stick thin girl, I want to be the girl that everyone looks at and says "wow she's skinny," I really want to be happy with the way I look, for once in my life I actually want to be classified as 'underweight.'

Yesterday, one of my good friends(who mind you really skinny due to her genetics)said "Do you realise that every lunch we talk about weight, food and being skinny?! It's actually really sad!"
My other friend Brittany and I turned and said to her "Well, you want to know why?! Because if we didn't think about weight, like a tonne of Australians, we'd end up fat like them. We have to think about it, unlinke you, to make sure we don't end up as another obesity statistic!"

She has nothing to worry about, she doesn't gain weight no matter what she eats, and then she goes a critizises us for thinking about it for a few minutes! I seriously wonder what it would be like to be able to eat whatever I want and it not turn straight to fat.
Unlike her, thinking about eating has to be a part of my day. "Tough Tities if she has to listen for a minute, deal with it!"

Day One

Okay so today was official day one (although I have been trying for the last couple of weeks)
Went okay.
Slipped up a few times- ate a bite of brownie & pasta sauce which contained feta but minimal.
I eat when I'm hungry & trying to just to eat when I'm hungry.
Don't know if it's gonna make me skinny but I do feel better about myself.
Walked home from school today but can't find the motivation to do anymore excercise than that at the moment.

Friend told me a quote, her mum says to her, today- "Nothing tastes better than being skinny."
I like it.. I think I'll make it my moto.

Post again 2moro.

Skinny Bitch

I'm a vegetarian because I hate the taste of cruelty.
After reading the book 'Skinny Bitch' I am inspired to go vegan. I've tried it a few times before but failed. Just so I can set my motives straight:
I want to go vegan because:
-I want to lose weight & be stick skinny,
-Yet I want to be healthy & feel good about myself,
-I want to do what I can to reduce animal cruelty.
I am writing this blog to get me motivated & to keep me distracted from eating. I don't want to be anorexic or develop an eating disorder, I just want to be skinny.
Any tips are muchly appreciated!
