  <title>Stressin..</title>
  <link>http://bitter-sweet96.livejournal.com/3055.html</link>
  <description>Haven&apos;t&amp;nbsp; been on for ages, i have just moved house and&amp;nbsp; have only just got the internet up and running. i need to buy myself some new weighing scales. i haven&apos;t had any for a while and just weigh myself weekly to track my progress but its driving me mad i need to know how much i weigh NOW!! im going shopping later on when my boyfriend gets back from work so i might get some then if he lets me.&amp;nbsp;im stressed out b/c i have a job interview tomorrow following that assessment thing i did last week. im bricking it!! i can&apos;t find any of the things i need to take, i can&apos;t find anything nice to wear and i&apos;m not sure how to get there so i&apos;m probably going to&amp;nbsp;get lost on the way, and never turn up, which will lead to me feeling like&amp;nbsp;a complete failure b/c it will just be another thing to add to the long list of pathetic fuck ups im soooo famous for. *sigh* i hate my life.....</description>

  <title>......</title>
  <link>http://bitter-sweet96.livejournal.com/2561.html</link>
  <description>&lt;br /&gt;Im doing ok, but am feeling like crap today, i can see the numbers on the scale going down but i feel fatter than ever, i&apos;m screwed up :( I had 400cals yesterday but felt so guilty i ended up &lt;strike&gt;cutting&lt;/strike&gt;, i hate myself for being so pathetic and weak. So i&apos;m trying to feel positive today but i&apos;m not doing very well i&apos;ve sat on my own all day left with my own sad thoughts. I haven&apos;t eaten anything today so far, my stomach is making such awful noises, i&apos;m trying to silence it with water but its not helping so i&apos;m going to keep myself occupied by exercising before i have to go and pick my boyfriend up from work at 5pm. We had an arguement last night which was my dumbass fucking fault as usual, i hate having mood swings and snapping at him, i feel so mean and selfish because 99% of the time hes done nothing wrong but i just fly off the handle at the slightest things. I push him away because in my head i wonder why he is with such a fat ugly digusting waste of space when he could have anyone he wanted. I feel as though he is only with me until something better comes along. But when i think rationally i know that he loves me to pieces, i mean we are engaged for Gods sake, i get so tired of battling with all my stupid insecurities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On&amp;nbsp;a lighter note...... i changed my userpic to a one from a modeling shoot i did bk wen was at least on the way to being thin. it wasn&apos;t one of the proper ones just one of me sitting about waiting, lol. What do u think? i know that when i was at that weight i was planning to lose another 15lbs.</description>

  <title>I hate me!!!!!</title>
  <link>http://bitter-sweet96.livejournal.com/2077.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #800080&quot;&gt;AAAARRGGGHHH!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was doing so well last week, then the weekend came along and my progress has been ruined. I went to my fiances moms house on Friday night and she commented that i was losing weight again and if i carried on she would have to start watching me and making sure that i was eating properly.&amp;nbsp; Then my fiance piped up and has started commenting on my weight saying things like:&lt;br /&gt;&apos;&apos;URGH i can&amp;nbsp;see your ribs under up top&apos;&apos;&lt;br /&gt;&apos;&apos;i can feel your hipbones sticking out&apos;&apos;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leave me alone!!!! i hate it when people comment on my body, it doesn&apos;t matter whether its a positive or negative comment i hate it, it makes me feel even more self conscious and anxious about myself b/c i don&apos;t want to be noticed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on sunday we popped round again and my fiance insisted we stay for dinner, my worst nightmare, i hate eating in front of people, if i do eat it has to be in private b/c i feel as though everyone is looking at me and thinking &apos;what a fat cow stufing that shit in her face&apos; Anyway she did me an extra large portion of:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ffffff&quot;&gt;mash potato&lt;br /&gt;new potatoes&lt;br /&gt;roast potoatoes (yuck)&lt;br /&gt;roast chicken&lt;br /&gt;yorkshire puds&lt;br /&gt;vegatables&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #800080&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Its got to be 900cals at least and i&apos;m probably being too kind on myself, argh!! I hate it!! i felt so bloated and stuffed. i planned on purging but his brother was in the shower so i couldn&apos;t.&amp;nbsp; i had to sit there with all that food inside me, i could literally feel my stomach stretching and growing i just wanted to die there on the spot. So today i&apos;m fasting and then back to the usual restriction for the rest of the week plus exercise. i&apos;m scared to weigh myself b/c of yesterday so i&apos;m going to wait until the end of the week to see if the numbers have moved either up or down, probably up :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a lighter note, i&apos;ve got a job interview later on today so wish me luck, i really need this. &lt;br /&gt;Stay Strong x x x &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description>

  <title>Tired...</title>
  <link>http://bitter-sweet96.livejournal.com/1390.html</link>
  <description>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: smaller&quot;&gt;Did ok today,&amp;nbsp; only had under 600cals. Got really upset today b/c one of my friends announced that she was pregnant today, don&apos;t get me wrong i was soooo happy for her but it broke my heart and opened old wounds, as i had a miscarriage in November and it cushed me. i want to &lt;strike&gt;self harm &lt;/strike&gt;so badly it took all my strength to resist.&amp;nbsp; I would love to have a baby, its something i&apos;ve always wanted and probably the only thing that i would succeed at, seeing as i fail at everything else in my life. Going out tomorrow so will fast all day and only have vodka or gin which has the least amount of calories. It will hopefully be&amp;nbsp;a good night, but my anxiety usually takes over and i spend more time stressing about what people think that i look at than having a good time. So my goal tomorrow is to try and relax and just have a good time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will keep you updated on my progress....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;xxx&lt;/span&gt;</description>
