THE SCALE SAID 99 THIS MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't like counting my dragons before they hatch, because I'll probably weigh 100 again for the afternoon weigh-in, but still. I had to tell someone. :D It doesn't become official until the scale says 99 for all three weigh-ins (morning, afternoon, and before bed).
In Edgewater, NJ, there's this totally awesome supermarket called Mitsua. It's a Japanese supermarket, and they have a giant food court, plus there's the Shiseido shop next door, and a Japanese book shop, and a huge shop filled with fabulous Asian kitchen things, toys, stationery, and lots of other gorgeous little things.
I bought some green tea (the proper super bitter Japanese kind), ginger salad dressing (25 cals per tablespoon), oyster sauce, and these soup packets:
Not Miso - it's that clear broth they give you at hibachi restaurants. Like an onion broth, I think? Three little packets of the broth come in each bag, and each packet is only 5 calories.
I posted this on PrettyThin, but I need more advice so I'm posting it here, too. I have to do a research project for my psych class. My original idea was to do a project on divorce, and how it affects people in the long-term. For this I will need some volunteers whose parents divorced when they were younger.
But then last night I found out that like 4 other people are doing divorce as well. >:( I'm thinking of changing the project to research bullying in school - like the really bad bullying that scars you for life. I'm not sure which one I want to do, so I figure I'll do the initial proposal for both, and see which one I like better after that.
So if you were bullied or have divorced parents, I need guinea pigs!!
congrats on the 99!
ReplyDeletei would go INSANE if i weighed in 3 times a day .. cause your always more in the day .. that's not what you weigh cause you have food and liquid in you .. it's what you weigh in the mornings that matter, that's your body weight
I was both. My parents divorced when I was 7.
ReplyDeleteAnd I developed my ED after being repeatedly called obese by my entire sixth grade class.. I'd definitely call that scarred for life.
I LOVE your title =).
ReplyDeleteGreat job with reaching 99! That's amazing ^^ For me, that number is so far away right now =)
You're so lucky to live near such an awesome Asian food market! I ♥ Japanese food so much! Most of it is healthy & really low cal!
My parents never married- dad took off when he found out mom was preggers. Mom was married 3 times since then, but I only remember 2 of those. I was also bullied SO much in school, no joke. It was mostly about my weight, religious beliefs (Christians seem to get bullied for no apparent reason nowadays), and I have an eye condition known as nystamus. Not too many friends in school growing up.
That bullying pretty much left me with no self-esteem to speak of, and it still affects me to this day. The divorce, not so much. Mom was WAY better off without those guys & I'm happy she got rid of 'em!
I'd be happy to be your guinea pig & help you write & give you any info you desire =)

99? Feel my envy, girl! Nice one!
ReplyDeleteEdgewater sounds amazing. I've heard such good things!
Divorce is so blasé. I think exploring the damage done by teasing, name-calling and cruel taunting will give you far more insight into the horrors of the twisted human mind! Divorce was probably the smartest thing my parents ever did. Talk about toxic! Let me tell you, there's a good reason I haven't spoken to my brother and 2 evil step-sisters in almost 12 years. Smartest move I ever made! Nuff said!
Best of luck with your project. Catchoo laydahs, Michie! X.
99? I'm so jealous. Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteyay for 99 im jealous really ugh but congrats

ReplyDeleteMy parents aren't divorced however I was bullied, not overtly, by 'friends' but it DEFINITLY influenced my developing an ED
wow yay 99! I remember the first time I saw that #! And i actually have verizon too! I'm totally blocking him if he EVER texts me again!
ReplyDeletehaha my mother has been married three times and both of my grandparents have been married 4 times! there is no hope for me XD
The bullying one sounds cool! I did a paper on eating disorders over the summer, but it was for english, not psychology. I got a 98% :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! I weighed 111 today :( sucks...
congrats on weighting 99, id be stoked
ReplyDeletemy parents are divorced, but i was sixteen at the time so i dont think i count lol. just because a few people are doing their paper on divorce doesn't mean you can't do it as well, just come up with a different approach
x
wow, 99 that is freaking awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy parents were never technically married but they separated when I was about three and went through the whole custody thing for a few years after that. My mother who I lived with also got together with my stepdad until they separated when I was about 10
OMG!! 99! That's fantastical! HAHAHA. For me, it's 3 days before it's official. 3's a lucky number, I guess :) Hope all is well <3
ReplyDeleteHolyshit! 99??? Thats wonderful. Is it too much if I ask how tall you are?
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely say bullying. I also have to do a paper in psych, and I was thinking about eating disorders (such humour I have), only because I could ask around from you lovely ladies and it would be sooo interesting to see what "professionals" thing go on inside the minds of the eating disordered. However.. probably not smart since some people recognize my strange eating habits and I am rather thin.
Whichever topic you choose, make sure to keep us updated so we can give you all the help we can!

This may or may not solve your problem but it's a start. IMO part of true AN is untreated OCD. I also think there is a mineral deficiency that causes AN in some people. Google zinc and anorexia. Get a blood test.
I don't think anas are mentally ill is the classic sense. In fact there is something admirable about them is a strange sort of way.
Maintain a sensible amount of calories from healthy balanced meals.
Be rational in your thinking and know that if you keep your calories under 2000 you cannot, I repeat CANNOT become fat.
Allow your rational mind to rule and maintain a healthy BMI range. You have an obsession so instead of using it for your destruction and the hurt it causes your loved ones use it to stay healthy.
I hope this wasn't too preachy and I hope it helps.
I would kill to be 99! That's awesome. :] How do you deal with weighing yourself 3 times a day though? Weight changes normally throughout the day, as I'm sure you know. I would go insane. I always base my weight only on the first of the day when I'm completely empty.
ReplyDeleteI've had both of those things happen to me, the divorce and the bullying. But I wasn't bullied by kids at school, it was from my own family. Soo, feel free to drop me a message or something if you want to talk. I'm Jessika on PT.
Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm too tall to ever go under 100!
xxoo
NINETY-NINE FUCKING POUNDS, CONGRATS!
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously jealous and I wish I could find 5 calorie soup packets!
My parents aren't divorced but I was bullied a little bit in school. Ironically, they made fun of how skinny I was and now look where I am.
im diggin your weight hun, 99 is so scary because its on the tipping point of double digits! bit its so awesome!
ReplyDeletemy parents divorced when i was 3 and its played a problem in my life for a long time, only because my mom is unstable and my dad married a cruel bitch in stead. i was bullied in elementary school, which resulted in my cutting problem. ahhh the joys of life.
take care! i love miso soup, only 5 cals? yay!
osuimono is amazing. love that shit.
ReplyDeletethanks for the recommendations! I'mma get right on it, coz I love me the twisted film visions, f'sho.
As for bullying, I guess you could say that kids tried to bully me when I was young for being of mixed race, but I beat all of them to a pulp and then extorted money from some of them later on. So. I think that makes me the bully as opposed to the bullied.
Yep. If I think about it, I was pretty much a huge bully throughout my school years as a way to establish that I would not be dominated or intimidated by anyone, I would be doing all of the dominating and intimidating, please and thank you.
If that interests you or applies in any way to your paper, get at me, girl. I'll spill all mah beans.
I am insanely jealous of the mini Japan that you have oh so close by, I would love to spend a day there!! Congrats on the double digits too!! I knew you could do it! :) Tomorrow I will try to do a liquid only diet and have that soup that's in my pantry, you inspired me :)
ReplyDeleteMy parents recently just got a divorce...It was really hard...Bullying in school was me too since I was the one easy target...Learning disorder girl who sits in the back and reads...Now I am the one who teams up with the one or few other people in the class that no one seems to like cause I went through it alone, I don't want anybody else to feel like that ever...
