  • Lovely Challenge: Day Three Challenge.

     So the challenge for today is to post our favourite thinspo and why.

    MqnhyPaGnqwvcksjKdRFeLXWo1_500

    This is one of my favourite thinspo for many reasons. I'm in a list-y mood so:
    1. I love greyscale, arty photos
    2. I dearly miss being home and just wasting the days away, watching the world from my window.
    3. Smoking is my secret vice.
    4. I'm pale, and also wear oversize tees most of the time.
    And, of course, the obvious stuff like that she's thin and has beauttiful skin.

    Hope you're all doing well

  • Day Ninety-Two

    Hello Ladies.
    Today is the second day of the Lovely Challenge.
    I am very fat currently. Had an intense cheese and crackers binge about 4 days ago and I'm completely stale. But things are looking up! I now only work Saturday and Sunday, and my POLS2085 classes are over so I have Wednesday - Friday totally free. Cleaning, sewing, exercising. Sweet. And I have a lovely email friend and this program to stick to. I want to be 155lbs [70kg] by the time I go home (November 19) and 120lbs [55kg] by my birthday (December 19). But I know 120lbs by then is unlikely, so I'll settle for 135lbs and then 120lbs by the time I go to Sydney for my second birthday party (Jan 9). My UGW is 108lbs but I'll have to be sneaky and get there slowly, because once I'm close to my old low-weight (115lbs) the suspicion will be on.
    I probably don't make much sense right now. Last night I left my take home exam till the last minute (as usual) and it was due today. I couldn't hand it in late because it's an exam and if it's not in by 4pm you fail. So I was up till 5:50am working on it. Slept for 5 hours, got up and kept working and had it done by 1:30pm (it's 4:50pm now). Yay!
    Now I have to concentrate on my History essay which is due on the 29th. Then I have an exam on the 6th November and one on the 18th and I'll be done! Free to go home and soak up the sun and go to the gym.
    Valete Ball is this Friday at Parliament House. I'm pretty excited. But I need a haricut before then.
    Oooh and I might be going to see Avenue Q on Saturday.
    It's Random Acts of Kindness Week this week at college, so I have a person to be kind to everyday. My plans involve cupcakes and cute stuffed animals. Yay. I'll probably get them a bottle of wine at the end of the week too.
    I'm still sick, but I feel less exhausted in the mornings now, I think I'm finally getting better.
    I've done up a timeline of events and planned weights. Hahah, I'm sure by now you're all like "Yeah, Louie's got another plan, good luck sticking to this you piker".

    But here it is:
    18-31 October - Lovely Challenge.
         23 October - Valete Ball [172lbs]
       1 November - Fruit Fast [7 days][165lbs]
       6 November - IR exam
       7 November - Start restricting <350cals/day
     18 November - Media Politics exam
     19 November - Go home [155lbs]
                             - Work my ass of at the gym
    19 December - Turn 18! [135lbs]
    31 December - NYE [127lbs]
          9 January - Sydney 18th [120lbs]
        17 January - Big Day Out [118lbs]
        21 January - University offer for USyd published [117lbs]

    Anywho, time for a nanna nap.
    Until next time,

  • Day Sixty

    It's been a crazy few weeks my friends.
    I've had essays coming out my ears and I'm still struggling to finish this last one (due 5 days ago). The main reason for my lack of posting is the fact that I've been quite ill lately. I have this death flu that I just can't shake. I sleep for most of the day, and spend my time in bed watching DVDs. [I'm obsessed with LA Ink right now, I just want to drop out of uni and be covered in tattoos! haha] So I'm drugged up on cold and flu talets right now and having some vivid dreams.
    I haven't lost any weight because I'm so inactive, so I'm still around 176lbs. Argh.
    So it's now holidays, and after I get this essay done I have to get back into the swing of things. I'm undertaking a challenge for my holidays: keeping my intake under 150cals per day. And breaking this down into three 50cal snacks. I also need to get back into my old exercise routine, so I'll be doing at leat an hour of exercise a day. At this point it doens't matter what it is, just to ease myself back into it, but later I'll devise a minimum number of calories to be burned and such.
    Also, the lineup for Big Day Out 2010 came out today and it is amazing! I'm definitely going to the Gold Coast one, 17th Jan, tickets on sale on the 8th October. Yay!
    Right now I just want to get through the rest of the semester (2 weeks holidays, 3 weeks classes, 2 weeks exams) and going home to the sunshine and fun. I'll be turning 18 at the end of the year, getting my first tattoo and a car. I forsee a summer of good times, one the proviso that I drop this weight.
    So I have 7 weeks. According to http://www.losertown.org/eats/cal.php I could be 145lbs by then. which would put me 25lbs away from my first goal weight and 37lbs away from my second. That would still be great though. I need to apply myself and concentrate on losing those 32lbs. I want my family to be shocked when they see me [I haven't seen them since July].
    Ah well, back to this essay. Wish me luck!
    Until next time,
    xo Louie

  • Lost and Found (Day Forty-Six)

    Okay my lovelies. I haven't been on in a while. And in the meantime I've gotten enourmous.
    Stress > Binge > Purge, but clearly not enough.
    And right now I feel lost. I have no idea where my life is taking me. I used to be so focused and driven, I knew where I wanted to be in 5, 10, 15 years and exactly how to get there.
    Right now my application is in for Arts (Media and Communications)/ Law at University of Sydney. I also put down a second preference of just Arts (Media and Communications). And I told my mum I wouldn't, but I think if I get just the Arts offer I might take it. It seems counter-intuitive, adding time to my Arts degree, putting off Law for another year. But I don't feel like I can bullshit my way through another year of a degree I don't like. Also, if I do Arts/Law here next year, there's no way my marks will be high enough to transfer after that. This is assuming I get in at all though. The requirements are so high, I don't know if they'll even consider me. Argh. Part of me just wants to blow it all off, use my savings to open up a shop and start designing and sewing and selling. Just thinking about it... no more assignments, exams, stupid lectures, pretentious tutorials. Sigh.
    I'm also weighing up the option of getting a breast augmentation for my 18th (in December, yay). I don't even want them big. Just nice. Right now I'm barely an A, I'd like a full A or a regular B. I have the money saved up, and there's a plastic surgeon in my home town. I could recover at home. BUT it would be summer, so I'd be swollen and sore for that. Hmm.
    On the found side, SWSU is over and I've made myself a new projection using Losertown. I'll basically be following the ABC and exercising as much as possible. This is for the next 10 weeks and I should be able to lose about 35lbs. My halfway point to GW1 is 150lbs so that will push me past halfway. I'll also be halfway to GW2 (108lbs). Yep, stick to this, that's my focus now. Trying to keep myself centred and not go crazy with this work is a whole other task.
    Also, my exam timetable sucks. Class finishes on the 30th October. My first exam is 6th Nov and my second is the 18th. What the fuck, son. That is so crap, I wanted to be home and start my holidays early.
    Anywho, back to this godawful assignment.
    Until next time,
    xo Louie
