I was kinda surprised because I always thought I ate way too much but then I realized I wasn't even meeting my daily requirement on most days. :S I don't think it's something to obsess over though but it does help! Do whatever it takes to make you feel more confident when going to the gym. =) A food diary is good to help you get started and opens your eyes to how many calories you’re consuming… I was kinda surprised because I always thought I ate way too much but then I realized I wasn’t even meeting my daily requirement on most days. :S I don’t think it’s something to obsess over though but it does help!

They were even proud of their disease... stuff like that makes me sick and should be treated. Your lucky, you must have fast metabolism! Mine use to be fast until I got out of high school and then it plummeted, but then eating at 7-11 everyday probably didn't help it much. :P It's alright, I like reading "novels." ;) That reminds me of those “ana” blog communities I use to see all over Xanga where girls get together and support each other (they were all anorexic/bulumic) and encourage each other to starve themselves.

I love food too much!! Yeah the night was fun but it was a blur!! Did you end up staying the whole night? I saw you once in the beginning and didn't see you again after that. :( Not sure what I'm doing this Halloween yet though.. what are you doing? I wanted to dress up as the 7 sins with my girlfriends but they didn't want to do it because it wouldn't really make sense unless we were all together the whole night :( so I'm going as Lady Gaga instead. Have you thought of your costume? Yeah I go a lot but only so I can eat more… I love food too much!!

And then once I'm back on track, soon after I get tired of the same old routines and eventually disappear from the gym. Well, different strokes for different folks so they say.
