here's a fatty picture from march of '05. i stayed away from cameras and didn't go out in public. mind you - i went from 120 to 140 in a few months, then on thorazine and then lithium and then depakote and then geodon and so on and so on... 140 to 190 which is what i am in this picture:




here's me in october '05 at 192:





and here's me a few minutes ago at 123:




btw, those pants are from high school :)


it's a shitty picture but i don't have any other ones of me now-a-days so i did the cam whore thing.


my mom has one from christmas when i first lost everything and got really sick. i'm gonna get it from her but it's kind of disturbing because i was so freakin' sick. purple rings around my eyes, sunken cheeks, bald spots... it was pretty bad.

since then i've recovered my ability to eat and my hair is slowly growing back (itchy itchy!). i hit 112 but then when i was able to eat again i became an eat beast.

got deathly ill, lol.

i try to watch my portions a lot and tell myself "it's okay if you can't clear your plate, that's why god made a refrigerator and a microwave."

that's what's helping me keep it off at least.

thank you. i hated being a "big girl" though because my health went to shit. my knees were getting all achey, my blood pressure skyrocketed, i couldn't breathe very well. it sucked, flat out.

i'll never forgive that whore psych doctor that did that to me. she came highly reccomended too, which baffled me. i do my own judgement of what's a good doctor now.

Wow.

But I told you that when I saw you a few weeks ago!

Hopefully I'll be posting some pictures like that in the near future.

^_^

Glad you're doing better <3

it's all about will power, at least that's what's keeping it off. as soon as i moved away from lakewood/cleveland it seemed to fall off (tho i kept getting sicker and sicker). seriously, i'm keeping it off by watching portions and the quality of feed i eat.

I've always been completely smitten by you. It's almost embarrassing to admit now, but when I first added you oh so long ago, it was because of your hottness. heh
