A whole 6cm in one week…I feel good!

How I did it
It made me
amused. 
How I did it: I got hooked on the fast pace of the show and the interaction between the characters. I just watched an episode or two a night - I wanted to find out who the killer was, so that was my main motivation. It felt good to just take the time for myself, to sit down and watch something wildly beyond the mind-numbing reality TV or same old cartoons. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy!
How I did it: I got a whole heap of qualifications under my belt (Year 12 certificate, Virtual Assistant Course), fixed up my resume and started applying for jobs. I got knocked back a lot, but finally my Mum, who's a manager, came up with an off-site position for me. Now I have the potential to earn more than I'd ordinarily get if I was just getting an allowance from Mum + Dad. Read how I did it…
It made me
less bored 
How I did it: Whenever I just had some spare time (or when I was bored with schoolwork) I'd play a few levels. It killed some time + gave me a strange sense of accomplishment! Read how I did it…

Last week I had a bust measurement of 127cm – my goal is 91. Week 2 I’m at…132. Bugger. All I want is to be skinny, because then I’ll be beautiful and then people will like me.

When I started last week, I weighed 85.6 kilos. This week…84.8 kilos, meaning I’ve lost 800 grams! It’s such a small amount, but I feel on top of the freaking world!
I’m finding it hard to meet my calorie goals, so I just don’t eat, and then I’m hungry, and then I’ll try to eat whatever’s not nailed down…but if I don’t eat, I lose weight. What to do, what to do?
But that still means I’ve only got 21.8 kilos left to lose. Well, hell.
