I haven't forced myself to throw up in a week though it feels a lot longer, that's the longest i've gone without it in months. Not sure if I'll keep going much longer, I kinda miss it but I'll try anyway.
Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you - you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: The trip of a lifetime!

Instead of scratching and clawing my stomach last night, I got colored pens and I drew all over it. I drew butterflies and stars, and my favorite song lyrics. Now when I look at my stomach, I don't start panicking and freaking out- I see the pictures, and it reminds me of happy things

I ate lunch and dinner today, granted only dinner stayed in my system but it's a start.
At lunch I went to the bathroom to purge twice. When I came back the first time, a guy at my table gave me a concerned look. When I came back the second time, how he looked at me told me he has a good idea of what just happened. I'd normally be freaking out, but I don't care right now. I figure by convincing people I'm okay is just prolonging what is inevitable, I mean, like yes I'm scared and I'm going to be shaking if I get called down to the guidance office in the next week or so, but I know I can't hide this forever. And I'm thinking about telling my friend Cyrus who can somehow figure out if I'm upset through a text message. >_<

I don't want to be sick forever, no. The calorie content of foods and my weight will not influence my life, will not dictate my feelings. Eating is something everyone has to do, and it's time I learned that and stop this before we reach the 3 year mark.

Today, I looked in the mirror, and i could find something I liked about my body. i like my wrists.
I wanna fly. So I do gymnastics instead.
I'll just keep holding on to what i believe and oh I believe in you. Give me the strength for the fight and the heart to believe cause I've got to believe in you. I feel so alive.
