A picture

At long last I have been game enough to take a recent picture of myself
Weight: 58kg (approx)
Height: 171cm
Size: AU 8-10

I have had a pretty good day to be honest, only about 400 calories consumed and lord only knows how many burnt, I hit the ground running at 6:30am this morning and I only stopped a minute ago when I FINALLY got home from work.I think I am safely in the negatives today, with all the running around I have had do to, spending half my day running around between dealers, picking up posters for the workshop and then all of my stuff. What I do like about end of month is that I havent had time to eat and therefore I dont.

This weekend is pretty packed as well. I have a christening tomorrow (didn't realise they happened on Saturdays now) and that sort of cancelled out my plans to paint :( but then I am having a girls night out which I am really looking forward to as I have been in hybernation while I kick off these kg's. Sunday I think I will just exercise, do Nailcan Hill in the morning which will include climbing up the first hill a few times, some small sprints somewhere flat and to finish it off I will do some ab work. I have worked it out to burn about 700-800 calories!!! Somewhere among all this I might find time to sleep, but who knows!

Okay back to work I go, no rest for the wicked as they say...

My Story

The Basics: I'm a 21 year old living in Australia trying to balance a 50 hour working week, friends, a boyfriend, saving for a house, family and somewhere in there sleep and exercise.

Current weight (14/12/2011) 58kg
Highest Weight (Jan 2011) 69kg
Lowest Weight (March 2006) 43kg
Goal Weight 50kg (or less)

So I have had to let myself go, to a weight that is considered by society as "healthy" However this was not by choice. I have been sedated, I have been nourished by an IV bag, force fed, hypnotised into being hungry, almost everything my doctor could think of to get me to gain weight against my will.

By medical terms I'm not anorexic anymore, but that doesn't mean I'm not apart of the pro-ana movement. I used to be anorexic weighing 44kg and dropping, and one day really soon I will be back to my tiny frame and falling out of my size 6 pants rather than squeezing into my size 8's.

I firmly believe that this illness is a lifestyle, not one we choose but on that chooses us. I don't enjoy spending hours in front of mirrors crying, starving myself until I fall off my chair at work, or hiding away at meal time so I don't get tempted to eat a bit of my mums home made German cooking, but Ana has chosen for me to live this life and I will document it here and hopefully have all your support along the way.
