    <content type="html">i'm not happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;everyone thinks i am this happy, go-lucky person that's always smiling, always laughing.&lt;br /&gt;that's why most of my friends are my friends. because i'm joking and funny and fun to have around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if only they knew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i hate my body. my&amp;nbsp;face. my laugh. my smile.&lt;br /&gt;i hate everything about me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'm overweight.&lt;br /&gt;5'5 and 150? 25 bmi. that's fucking overweight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'll be 21&amp;nbsp;at the end of january. that's a little less than 5 months from now.&lt;br /&gt;i want to weight AT LEAST 130 by then.&lt;br /&gt;it's do-able. even&amp;nbsp;healthy.&amp;nbsp;after that i want to eventually get down to 110. that is my main goal. but i know, in my family, i can't not eat.&lt;br /&gt;when i was living on my own, i went from 177 to 143 in a 68 days. it was&amp;nbsp;amazing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;i wasn't where i wanted to be at all, but it showed me that i have the willpower to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;two years ago, i was diagnosed with anorexia, and was hospitalized.&lt;br /&gt;i was at my best though.&lt;br /&gt;105.&lt;br /&gt;i looked so great.&lt;br /&gt;i would've just stayed there, and been fine. i was thinking about trying to get into the double digits, but i decided against it, because my boobs stayed the same size [d's!] so i knew i wouldn't be able to stand up haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but my&amp;nbsp;mom had to fucking interfere and put me in a program.&lt;br /&gt;i was there for 3 months.&lt;br /&gt;gained back 30 lbs.&lt;br /&gt;fucking disgusting.&lt;br /&gt;then when i got back home,&amp;nbsp;all she would&amp;nbsp;do was feed me and feed me and feed me.&lt;br /&gt;and i have no gag reflex otherwise i would've just thrown it all back up.&lt;br /&gt;so&amp;nbsp;i ballooned up to a fucking DISGUSTING 180.&lt;br /&gt;i looked like the stay&amp;nbsp;puffed marshmallow man&amp;nbsp;from ghostbusters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so when they thought i was healthy enough, i moved on out on my own. and oh boy, i didn't eat anything at all for&amp;nbsp;three&amp;nbsp;months, except when i went over there for dinner, which wasn't often, because i didn't want my family to see my progress and try to interfere.&lt;br /&gt;but then i hit some financial problems and had to move back, i didn't have a choice.&lt;br /&gt;my family is loud and german and they&amp;nbsp;eat all the time, and it's so hard to live with them and hide the fact that you don't eat&amp;nbsp;at all.&lt;br /&gt;but at least now, i'm 20 years old, and i'm living with my dad&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;and my stepmom, and they have their own things to deal with, so they barely pay attention to me.&lt;br /&gt;i know that i can't get down to my long term goal weight when i'm living in this house, but i can get down to a "healthy" weight of 130.&lt;br /&gt;i go running every morning and i eat one meal a day.&lt;br /&gt;i can't go without eating family&amp;nbsp;dinner here. but i get smaller portions and i barely eat any.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i intake about 400 calories a day. if that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;all i drink is unsweetened hot/ice tea and water with lemon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i must admit though, i love beer, but i'm trying to only drink light beer, or just certain liquors, but i'm only 20, and&amp;nbsp;beggars can't be choosers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;and i love drinking. a little too much.&lt;br /&gt;haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;starting weight on 09/05/2007&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;-150 lbs bmi-25.0 [overweight!]&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;short term goal weight for 01/30/2008&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;-130 lbs bmi-21.6 [normal weight]&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;long term goal weight for an unspecified date as of yet&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;-110 bmi-18.3 [underweight]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so here goes nothing kiddos, and if you have any advice, please dish it out with reckless abandon.</content>
