so much for the lemonade diet
Monday, December 1, 2008
get to know me please? i'd love comments and feedback :)
Well here goes nothing
It’s 12:48 am on a Monday morning
And I just stuffed my face the whole day
I’m actually closing my eyes while typing this because the screen on my macbook laptop is too bright for me
I’ll spell check this at the end
Anyway, as an introduction to my life, and what I’m about to blog about for the next two weeks… is that fad called the Lemonade Diet. But first…
I’m what you call… a bulimic. In cases with people who have bulimia, one never usually expresses to the world that he/she is bulimic, because one, they are ashamed, and two, I guess it’s just not something to brag about. But the thing is, okay now I have my eyes open, but yes, the thing is, I’m not bragging that I have bulimia… heck, I don’t think any living person would like to have this disease, but I am writing this to express what we (people with bulimia, or eating disorders) go through… so people can understand that it’s not just a weight issue. But it’s incredibly deeper than that. It goes past weight, through emotions, being tossed into ways to cope, and becomes triggered every single time a little tiff comes along…. Which sucks… completely. By tiff, I mean… if I were to get into a little argument with the madre (mom, incase you didn’t know what that meant, and I’m not Mexican or Spanish in any way, I just like using madre) anyway, say I was to get into an argument with her, immediately, once I start to get upset, my brain automatically thinks FOOD! I reach out to a bag of chips, two maybe three slices of toast, butter on it of course, hmMm a glass of milk, some cookies, left over turkey? Yes please. And maybe some vanilla ice cream, oh and more cookies too. And it becomes a binge in a second. Consuming more than 2000 calories in a snap, and purging it all up minutes after…. just because of a stupid little argument… Now tell me that isn’t insane. You must be thinking, “if you know it’s insane, then just don’t do it.” And that’s the beauty(CRAZINESS) of it… we can’t just stop. I’ll try to explain the feeling as best as I can without boring you out of your minds. But it’s not that it feels good, or we’re really hungry, or that we’re weak-minded people who just think about appearances… it’s not that at all… it’s just… it become so much of a habit… and an easy way to run free from reality for a while… instead of becoming upset over an argument or any kind of disruption to our happiness… or feeling controlled by an outsider… food distracts us from any of those situations… and in those minutes, hours that we are eating…. All we have on our minds is the food that we’re consuming, and the thought of throwing it all up… (sorry for the graphic terms, if you don’t like that I’ll use ‘purging’)… anyway, so we escape from what we have to deal with, and run away to a place where we are in control… and it’s so sad if you just think about it because how is that a way to cope? The only way for us to feel in control of ourselves is to eat and purge and focus on food and our weight to distract us from drama, abuse, miscommunications, arguments, sadness…. etc? It’s just ridiculous… But in any case, I’ll write more about that later if you all want, if it’s just boring I’ll end it here. So what is this lemonade diet you ask?
I am going to sound like a total hypocrite right now, but starting tomorrow I will be putting myself on a lemonade diet. It consists of:
2 tablespoons of organic lemon juice
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
1/10 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
and 10 oz of water
drink 6-8x a day for 20 days (but i'm just doing 14 days)
and i'll also be eating 300 calories a day.
UGH. you have no idea how torn up I am right now. just looking at that looks freeeaken riDONKulous!
but i'm going to do it.
starting Stats: height: 5'1'' weight: 120 lbs
I'm doing this because i want you dieters out there to see how much damage dieting does on your body... i wish i could think straight for once and get out of this bulimia/stupid behavior... but why not make a lesson out of it. maybe this will help me overcome my disease? hmMmm we'll see.
why not enjoy the world? i want to break free!
peace out boy scout!
