Tomorrow's plan:

Oatmeal 180
calcium chew 20
multi-vitamin
can salmon 120
0.5 cup sauteed onions 63
1 cup kidney beans 260
200 g broccoli boiled 70
----------------------------------------------
713 kcal

I must stick to the plan tomorrow. No more ice cream! No more cake! I
must lose weight! I MUST lose weight! I can do this!

Please don't try to convince me to stop losing weight. I'm in no
danger of becoming anorexic. I'm a FATASS! My bulmia is much much
better now. I purge only about once a month. I just want to lose a bit
of weight. I've got to do this! If you don't want to support me,
that's fine. I have to do this to feel better about myself.

Jenny, have you talked to your doctor/counselor about this plan? 800
calories is far too few to maintain health, let alone get healthier. Look
at the names you are calling yourself. How can you possibly feel better
about a person you call such names?! You need to love and protect that
person--then she will be much more likely to become the person you want her
to be. Don't try to do this on your own, Jenny. Talk to your doctor and/or
counselor and get the help you need.- Hide quoted text -

I've told my pdoc about my plan to eat 800 kcal a day. So far she
doesn't seem too worried probably because I have a high normal BMI and
am nowhere near anorexic. Of course she disapproves because it can
lead to compensatory binging behaviour and subsequent purging, but I
think I'm OK as long as I don't binge or purge too much. I'm going to
need a lot of self control, but I can do this.

I think my plan is healthy. On it I get enough protein, calcium, omega
3 fatty acids and fiber. It's much healthier than my current way of
eating cake and ice cream. I know I will be more healthy eating 800
kcal of healthy foods than eating 1600 kcal of crap. I'm going to try
to fit in some exercise as well. I need to lose weight. I have to lose
weight. I want to lose my weight quickly, that is why I choose to eat
800 kcal a day. I feel full and satisfied on 800 kcal, so it is
enough.

Thank-you for your concern, but I'm alright.

Today I had approximately 2098 kcal. It's waaaay too much.

Jenny -- Hey, take it easy! It's not the end of the world if you're
slightly heavier than you think you should be.

What makes you think you should weigh less? And exactly what weight
are you going for?

Also any purging can make the next round easier to do. I've evaluated
people who have developed such a habit that they vomit even when they
don't mean to do so. (In addition, as you might know, there are
problems with acid eating vocal cords, teeth, etc.)

From what I've read about you, you are already at a healthy weight and
what you're approaching is cosmetic. Not that that would be dangerous
for the average person but with your history, this is something to be
wary of.

Teachrmama and I and others are concerned about you and we want you to
be healthy as well at an appropriate weight.

You really should explain everything you're doing to your physician
and see what she/he says. If your PCP says okay, then that's great!

I gotta tell you, I'm going to see my own PCP on Thursday morning and
go over my own recent history. I'm looking -- and expecting -- a
cheering squad and a big thumbs up! Please do the same thing!

Again, we're thinking about you and are wishing for you only the best!

Yours truly,

Caleb and many others
