A day of food for an anorexic vegetarian

Hi all.

I just want to first give a big thank you to all the people who read my blog yesterday.

The amount of support and views has been overwhelming, I'm very honoured. ♥

Alright back to business.

Today i will be documenting what i eat in a day using photos.

I think it will be a big eye opener for me and to anyone else suffering with anorexia.

The idea is that i take a photo document the time and i might give a brief description on the food and how I’m feeling throughout the day

Also I better give you a little background info: I am 21 years old, I weigh 59kg and I’m a size 8 -10, and 5'3 tall.

I have had issues with eating when i was 15 -16, then i gained weight slowly after High school. By the time i was 19 and I weighed 82kg and was a size 14 -16.

Then i started to count calories and the weight just fell off.

When i was 20 - 21 I got deeper into my restricting. Although i wasn't loosening very much weight anymore I became addicted to counting calories the complements that people were giving me everyday and the smaller clothes i could now fit into. I would feel wrong if I ate over a certain number for the day.

On my 21st birthday i went out to breakfast and dinners with friends, and after i would go to the bathroom and make myself sick.

Having bacon and eggs or pasta inside me made me feel dirty.

I had been doing this sort of thing for a while on and off, Christmas is a big one, and birthdays or holidays. Really any occasion where there is a lot of food.

But I hardly purge now, I find it's better to just make sure i don’t eat over 600 calories for the day, and keep restricting.

I just have to make sure I stay away from cheese, peanut butter, nuts, chips, biscuits, cakes, or any baked goods.

You get the idea; it clearly occupies a large amount of precious space in my brain.

And if this sounds like you, you will know that 80% is will power and 20% is planning purging and lying.

So please read and reflect, and anyone who is going through this; I’m here and please stay safe, I don't want any of my readers to die. ♥

Warning. This is not a healthy diet to follow; you can not live off 600 calories in a day or under.

7:30 am

Breakfast

½ Helga's Bread: Sandwich Thin, Mixed Grain - 50 Calories

1 teaspoon (5g) of Nuttelex: Margarines: Nuttelex, Light - 22 Calories

3 g of Cinnamon Sugar - 11 Calories

1 Sachet of Nescafe Coffees: Skim - 42 Calories 

My Breakfast - 126 Calories

I’m feeling ok this morning, although a bit sleepy but that’s because i stayed up till 11:30pm watching my blog views go from 30 to over 100 :-)

I don't think i really need to elaborate on my breakfast, but it will be the highest calorie meal I’ll eat all day today.

I'm a strong believer in eating breakfast everyday. It kick starts your metabolism and helps with weight loss.

And aside from all that nonsense I also just like coffee and cinnamon sugar on toast. :3

8:57 am

I’m starting to feel a bit hungry.

A girl in my office is starting to hum and sing to herself. It's so annoying; it feels like someone scratching at the inside of my brain, I want to go over there and tell her to shut her pie hole.

Oh that’s Just Great! Someone put pastries on the table in the tea room. Well normally i would get one and lick it out ;-) then discard it. (Like that doesn't sound familiar)

But i don’t want to take a photo of it, so I’ll hold back, someone else can have an extra 50 calories in their day.

Knowing that if I eat something and the prospect of the whole world seeing my shame is a really good way not to eat junk.

At some point between now and 9:30am. I will have

1 Baby carrot - 10 Calories

1 Stalk of celery - 4 Calories

Post Breakfast munchies - 14 Calories

I know people say celery is a negative calorie food. Well that is a lie. No food has zero or negative calories, the only thing with zero calories is water.

Even Coke Zero has like 0.5 calories.

It’s the fiber in the celery, you burn it off very quickly but it's still there.

10:00am

Black Tea #No 1 (of many) - 0 Calories

My office is freezing cold and lucky for me anything with caffeine I will just pee out in the next hour.

10:57am

Oops. I've been budging at work pretty bad, I just can’t get in the zone, and I’m so bored.

I have some snack food coming up but I don't know if I’m hungry. Maybe I’ll have the Coke and see how I’m feeling. Maybe it will give me some energy to work better.

11:00am

Coke Zero Mini Time!!

I wish it was Coke Zero time all the time.  :D

I'm not going to put in the calories of the Coke Zero because frankly my dear I don't give a damn. 

11:10am

Pre Lunch Snack

Mini Macro Air Pop Popcorn: Nacho Cheese - 60 Calories

I couldn't get the photo to flip around, but you're smart people, I think you get the idea, or you could tilt your head. 

I alternate every second day with the Mini Macro Popcorn or Potato Stix for my crunchy fix, The Potato Stix has 42 calories.

They taste like chicken potato chips but puffed and in stick form…and not chips.

11:40am

Well I did end up having the popcorn, (so yummy).

My logic was if I have it now i won't have it later.

I had a tiny boost of energy, but it's starting to go down the closer i get to lunch time.

I want the day to be over. And I'm dreading all the brain dead work I have to do after lunch till 5pm.

12:00pm

Lunch

Homemade Ratatouille - 80 Calories per serve

It's an Italian stew with things like, Tomato, Zucchini, Eggplant, Onion, Mushroom, and i also added two Vegetarian Tomato Sausages. It was split over 3 plastic containers.

1:00pm

Desert

(see that dent..that was where my car keys somehow got in-bedded in my jelly)

Light Cranberry Jelly: 1/4 of a pack - 9 Calories

I held out as long as I could, I just needed something sweet after lunch.

1:40pm

Jog up 12 flights of steps - negative 53 calories

2:00pm

Black Tea #No 2 - 0 Calories

2:00pm

God damn it!

I gave in to a tablespoon of avocado with lemon.

I'm so mad why don’t I have will power?

Avocado 1 tablespoon - 40 calories

And I was doing so well.

Well my brain feels foggy and I’m feeling sleepy, I have done nearly no work today, I really have to pick up the slack and get to it.

3:30pm

Afternoon tea

Weight Watchers Fruit cup - 33 Calories

Thank god, only an hour and a half remaining in the work day.

I'm shocked at how quickly it went by.

5:15

Jogging up 12 flights of steps (again, but this time in the car park) - negative 53 calories

6:00pm

Dinner

1 Baby Carrot - 10 Calories

1 Dill Pickle - 3 Calories

1 Celery stick (cut in half) - 5 Calories

1/2 Cup air pop popcorn - 15 Calories

10 grams Weight Watchers Cottage cheese - 8 Calories

10 grams Doritos Salsa - Calories 5

Dinner - 46 Calories 

Well doesn't that just look like a little plate of heaven? 

7:00pm

After Dinner snack

1 Tub Chocolate Mousse (Nestle Soleil Diet) – 68 Calories
2 Tsp Vitarium's Naturally Sugar Free Drinking Chocolate – 4 Calories
30 Mils So Good 99% Fat Free UHT – 10 Calories

After Dinner snack - 82 Calories

Day Total - 384 Calories

So I guess that's it, I did it.
I managed to stay under 400 Calories for the entire day. This is good, on a normal day i'm sitting on about 480-550 calories.
Honestly i think it was the pressure of an audience that kept me from over eating.

You see, Anorexic people do eat and to the untrained eye it can look like we eat like normal people. But you see i have spent a long time finding foods that are under 60 calories and lunches that are under 100, It's all painful planning and calculating. 

Evan if this blog post doesn't apply to you i hope it has at least open your eyes and maybe you know someone who eats like me and i will help you to recognize an eating disorder, it could be hiding in plane sight.

Stay tuned, my next post will be about my experience on some harmless synthetic marijuana turned ugly in ways that only i know how.


Thanks for reading.

Saturday Night With Mr Big

Hi people.

As promised I will relay my traumatic Saturday night with Mr Big.

I think I will start with my intention of the night.

After my breakup with my ex and the discovery or his new twiggy blond girlfriend I needed to move on and fill the void, and the best way to do that was with a strangers junk.

I planned on going out alone, (a risky move for someone who has been drugged twice in a night club) but I was willing to put that aside in the pursuit of love.

Everything was set; 

• My roommate would be away till Sunday afternoon
• My house was mopped, swept and vacuumed
• I put my new sheets on the bed
• I had spent the last two weeks researching how to pick up men in nightclubs.
• I got a tight red dress and a bra that will take me from a B to a C cup.
• Hair was done - although i did loose a fight with a bottle of toner.
• Fake tan wasn't too blotchy
• And i covered my bleeding shaving rash on my lady bits with Sally Harrison Air Brush Legs (remember that name, one day it will save you)

I looked pretty good, despite the fact i was so bloated i looked four months pregnant, but that went away in good time.

Bow chika bow wow

Yep I was going to be in for a fun filled night.

I first went into town with some friends that were going to an event called sky fire, It was only 6:30pm so i hung about watched the fire works ate too much cheese and chocolate and drank 3 mini bottles of champagne.

I don't want to think about the calories, but i told myself the many hours of dancing ahead of me will work it off.

Finally it was 9:30pm and i gave my friend my jacket and booz and walked to the Uni Pub.

It was about half full in there, plenty of good looking guys but the night was so young it would have died at birth.

So i had one drink and moved on to a popular bar/club called Moose Head, i thought this would be a perfect time to get my stamp and they were having a St Patrick's day party.

 *sigh* i should have stayed at the Uni Pub, this place is deader than Lindsay Lohan's career.

I moved on. What i really needed to find was a bar where people go before the action, and it needs to be full enough so i don't look like a pathetic girl all alone in a dark bar.

People already think i have a sad face; i don't need to be pathetic too.

I felt exposed in the middle of the cobble stone square, people were looking at me. i pull my shoulders back and attempt to walk with confidence, i tell myself they are only looking because you're so hot and you're the only girl in a red dress I've seen all night.

I find a semi crowded place called Hippo Bar filled with middle aged men in suits and the odd younger one. Perfect!

I ordered a disgusting overpriced glass of champagne and placed myself on a seat on the balcony and fiddled with my phone in the hopes that people will think I’m texting all my friends and arranging a meeting.

It clearly didn't work.

I looked up and saw a girl in her late 20s early 30s smiling at me. Let’s call her Ms Hippo Bar)

She asked me why such a pretty girl was sitting alone.

I raised an eyebrow at her "do you really want to know?"

"Yeah, I think so" Ms Hippo Bar said after a long pause.

So that’s what i did, i told her of my intentions and of my extensive research and that i have even taken the time to vacuum my house.

She was impressed with my commitment to the cause, clearly i had put a lot of thought into this.

She then called over her husband (Mr Hippo Bar)

She tells him what I'm up to and that I'm nervous and she asks him how i should proceed.

Mr Hippo Bar tells me that a girl as stunning as me and in THAT dress has the luxury where i can stand in any room in any given well lit spot and the men will come to me like flies on honey.

All it takes is a smile and a touch to the arm.

He also pointed out that i look sexy and not trashy because I’m not showing any cleavage and i had flat shoes on.

Mr and Ms Hippo Bar then started to point out 30 something year old men i might like, so that was my queue to head to TnG (a popular pre-night club spot with some live music)

As i walked the short distance to TnG i went past a few cafes and restaurants, there were business men sitting outside drinking coffee and ending their night.

As i got closer the one facing me looked up and his associate followed his gaze, in perfect timing their heads turned as i walked past. It reminded me of a cartoon.

It took everything i had not to smile to myself and to keep walking till i got to the bar.

But that was just what i needed, I truly felt like i could command the attention of any room. This must be what self esteem feels like.

So i payed the $5 entree fee and i went straight to the bathroom.

Its so annoying how quickly alcohol passes through me, its not as bad as coke but pretty close. 

I am also happy to report that i also pooped while i was there and that made me feel a bit lighter.

I could hear some girls in the bathroom talking about drunken sex, immediately my ears perked up.

Now these are some woman i can talk to.

i came out and washed my hands and waited for them to come to the sinks.

"Like OMG! I like so love drunken sex!"

"OMG Meeee Tooo. It is like so amazing"

One looked at me and saw me smiling.

"You know what I’m talking about gurllll?"

I laughed at her and admitted that i have never had drunken sex.

"Well you gotta be gettin out there and have some"

The drunk girls left the bathroom and i counted to ten and followed. I think i hoped that they would include me in whatever fun time they were going to have.

I saw Bathroom girl at the bar and stood next to her pretending to order a drink, then i let out a silent yet deadly fart.

Bathroom girl suddenly looked around and said "Omg what is that? arg it's disgusting!"

I took this as a opportunity and pretended to notice too "Yeah your right, eww someone must of done a walk by fart"

I then tried to start something up "hey you’re the girl from the bathroom" 

She looks at me a moment "oh yeah! Hey! Go and have drunk sex! See ya"

Damn it. opportunity gone.

There was nothing more for me at T'n'G so i made my way back to Moose Head hoping that things had picked up there.

As i was making my way a random guy lost his shit and went crazy over my dress "OMG! Holy Shit! You look so good you should be in L.A!!"

"umm thanks random"

Well Moose Head had improved.

People were dancing and drinking, i made my way up to the dance floor and i saw a friend of a friend (Tights as Pants)

We exchanges niceties and i got up on the higher part of the stage to check out the meat market.

I was dancing for only a few moments when (Mr Big) started to dance with me. He was everything my ex wasn't.

Tall about 6'4, handsome, buff like a god and an amazing kisser. No tongue and pure passion.

It wasn’t long till he whipped out his phone and showed me his "modelling picture"

After our night he was kind enough to send it to me, so now i can share it with you. For his privacy i have cut off Mr Bigg's head

Oh and FYI he is a Rugby player (Note the ball)

After a while I offered to get him a drink, he was very shocked by this and he liked it. He said a lot of girls expect the guy to get a drink for the girls.

(Ladies take note, if you want to stand out try getting HIM a drink)

Then he got me a drink witch I reluctantly drank, we went to the bathroom and met back on the dance floor.

A few more moments and he were asking me if I wanted to get out of here.

I couldn't believe it, it worked I did it, I picked up.

A short $35 cab ride later we were back at my place; this was the part I was unsure about.

I took him to my bedroom and unzipped my dress. But he was talking about something I was only half hearing. So I kissed him and pulled off his shirt, he was so confident in his body, and I really don’t blame him. (If you need a reminder please look at the image above)

We went down onto the bed and kissed, it was slow and sweet. Then he started to work on my bra, one hook then some struggling.

I should really help him, this is a new bra and he will be there all night.

“Do you want me to get it? I won’t think any less of you”

But Mr Big’s will was strong and in the end he got it.

Then suddenly he flips me onto my back. It was unexpected but no more than when he sticks his tongue in my love cave, he starts licking and sicking and then he shoves two of his massive fingers inside me, OK ouch but I can handle it.

This carried on for a while until he rams his fingers up so far I gasp, and then he starts to move them against something hard. I don’t like it and the clit sucking is getting old and a bit unconformable.

I just want him to finish and we can sleep.

“Hey…..HEY! You better stop or I'll cum.”

“That’s the idea” he says.

Ok… I pull away and roll him on his back, two can play that game.

I tug down his pants and undies and they fall to the floor. Suddenly I’m in shock, it was like a fist.

I decided to try anyway. I attempt to wrap my lips around his knob but I couldn't get my mouth wide enough. So then I decided to wank at his foreskin and lick the tip, that kind of worked but he wanted more.

So I pulled out a condom and attempted to slide it on, it didn't budge. At first I was thinking I had it on the wrong way but I didn't  With a little more rolling I got it on half way.

I started off on top, with all our kissing and then he eating me out I was pretty wet. I lined myself up and eased it to the entrance. Omg it won’t go in.

I gave it a bit more back and forth and I got the head in, but it felt like I was going to break.

After some rocking back and forth we try with him on the top, Worse! And his hips were wider than mine so it felt like my hip joints were going to pop out.

Then came the new pain. Turns out he likes to bite ears.

You See what I'm talking about.

And he rubbed my clit like a genie was going to come out of my vagina and grant him wishes.

And while he was trying to ram his penis into my now dry minge he started to pinch my nipples like he was expecting them to come off. He only stopped for a second when I said “ouch!”

This went on for an hour and a half, I then reached a point where I had to just say stop, but it took a while to get the hint. At first he then held down my arms and preceded to finger fuck me.

Eventually we went to sleep, after an extra half hour of him softly tickling my skin and trailing his fingers back down under, I then had to grab his hand like a child about to touch a hot stove.

The Next day he started back up again with the tickling. I knew there would be only one way to be rid of him.

“You wanna have sex again?”

I hated myself for asking, I was in so much pain from last night but I just wanted him to cum and go.

So I attempted to put a condom on him again, and then I lay through an extremely painful ten minuets of him licking my bruised clit until I had to get him to stop.

I looked for my lube but couldn't find it. Damn it!

Then he tried to force himself in me again, I was dry and tender but by god was I going to get him to cum.

I got on top of Mr Big my body screamed in protest, then I rode him, it was tricky and I had to nearly slap his hands away when he went for my nipples, after a hour I couldn't take any more.

“Are you close? You got to tell me if you’re close”

No response and I was done.

“what? But I was close” Mr Big said

“Really?!”

I climbed back on and rode him like a bunny fighting through the pain all over my body, and the chafing between my legs.

But in the end he came and I was relived even if it was all over my new sheets.

I made him coffee he had a shower and then soon after he was out the door and in a cab, and I was sitting on frozen peas and calling my best friend.

I hope you liked my first real blog entry, the others won't be as long as this one only happened on Saturday night, so its all still fresh in my mind and my hips are still hurting.

You know i never did get to dance off all that cheese but i think i should get a  merit badge for attempting Mr Big.
