The War On Self-Control



I feel like doing it.
I can't let myself.
I will fall.
Deep into a hole,
a black hole of self-loathing.
Can't let myself fall.
Don't let her do it, Ana.
Keep her from pushing it,
The self-destruct button.
Anything but.
Anything but.
Anything but,
THAT.
It is the enemy.
Keep her on our side of the line.
No enemy lines to be crossed,
Today.
No,
Not today.
Down in the trenches,
She fights,
Kicking.
Screaming.
Shooting words of useless pain,
onto a bulletproof self.
Wounds,
Open,
Gaping,
Hungry.
Antibiotics, would help.
But at this stage of the game,
It's too late.
The war has been waged,
And it rages on.

Calorie Burning During Activity Info



I found some lists of how many calories are burned during random movement and exercise that a lot of people tend to do on a daily basis.

My favorite ones are the ones pertaining to my favorites, such as;
Sleeping: 55/hr
Active Swimming: 500+/hr
Power Walking: 600+/hr
Jogging 5mph: 500/hr

Ab Exercises & Gisele Bundchen Thinspo

Double crunch: The reason the double crunch is one of the most effective exercises is because you are activating the entire abdominal area.

 

TIP: The key is to contract tightly at the top part of the movement.

 

Lie on the floor with your head facing up. Bend your knees until your legs are at a 45-degree angle, with both feet on the floor. Your back should be comfortably relaxed on the floor. Now place both hands behind your head.

 

Contracting your abdominals, raise your head and legs off the floor toward one another. Slowly return to the starting position, stopping just short of your shoulders and feet touching the floor.

 

Bicycle manoeuvre: Research consistently rates this as one of the most effective abdominal exercises, It works your entire ab region.

 

Lie on a mat with your lower back in a comfortable position. Put your hands on either side of your head by your ears. Bring your knees up to about a 45-degree angle. Slowly go through a bicycle-pedaling motion - alternate your left elbow to your right knee, then your right elbow to your left knee.

 

WARNING: This can be a more advanced exercise, Do not do this activity if it puts any strain on your lower back .It can disable you for a while, then you cant do any exercise!

At The Moment of Temptation

At the Moment of Temptation...

-Don't eat. If you want to see food, look at your thighs.

-Ballerina or beanbag?

-I am your butter and your bread. The voice that's in your head.

-Good girls don't swallow.

-"Jeez you are heavy!" or "Wow, you're so light!"?

-Food isn't a treat. It's an ENEMY!

-Every time you say "No thank you." to food, you say "Yes please" to thin.

-The belly is ungrateful. It always forgets we gave it something.

-Food is mean and sneaky. It tricks you into eating it and it works on you from the inside out, making you fat, bloated, ugly and unhappy.

-Do you really want to be that weight for the rest of your life?!?!?!

-It is a most mortifying reflection for a man to consider what he has done, compared to what he might have done.

-Calories won't make you happy.

-You don't NEED food.

-Think of anorexia as your secret weapon!

-Is food more important than happiness in life? I think not!

-The distance is nothing. It is only the first step that is difficult. Make that step!

-Every calorie you eat equals another step towards destruction.

-Remind yourself!!!!:    "If I eat anything, I'll eat everything, so I eat nothing."

-Do you like it enough to WEAR it?!?!

-You've come to far to take orders from "insert food here" !

-Giving into food shows weakness. Be strong and you will be better than everyone else.

-Am I hungry or just bored?

-Don't let today's moment forsake tomorrow’s dream.

-Do not give up what you want most for what you want at the moment.

-You will be tempted quite frequently and you will have to choose whether you will enjoy the 20 minutes or so that you will be consuming excess calories, or whether you will cordially despise yourself for 2 or 3 days for your lack of will power.

-Do you want people to say "For God's sake, get off you're crushing me!" or "You are sooo light!"?

-Every time I have the opportunity to eat, I have the strength to refuse.

-Eating doesn't make anything better.

-What makes resisting temptation difficult for most people is that they don't want to discourage it completely.

-If you eat then you'll look like those disgusting, fat, ghetto, and trailer-trash hookers on Jerry Springer.

-Food tastes bad.

-Pleasure to the lips adds pounds to the hips.

-The greasy fry it cannot lie. Its truth is written on your thigh.

-Hunger is your friend and it won't betray you like eating will.

-Eat to live, but don't live to eat.

-Craving is only a feeling.

-Eat as much as you want, just don't swallow it.

-Don't eat anything today that you'll regret tomorrow.

-What nourishes me also destroys me.

-Just say/think "NO." and keep your mouth closed.

-Food is Satan. Don't be a victim.

-A full belly is the mother of all evil.

-You have such a pretty face. Why don't you try dieting?

-What's in your fingers today is on your hips tomorrow.

-Brain cells come and go, but fat cells live forever.

-Inside us is a thin person trying to get out, but she is too sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.

-Small opportunities are the beginning of great things.

I WANT

It
More than anything.
Its probably unhealthy
How much I want
It.

It
Consumes me
Takes up all my time
All my energy
Thoughts, life revolves around
It

It
Doesn't sleep.
In my dreams
Doesn't leave me peace when I wake
Can't get a breath without
It

It
Wants to be my addiction
Already is
Other girls don't do this
Other girls don't, no.
This can't be normal, can
It?

B & P

Front door clicks shut,
Silence settles.
Wait a bit
They're gone for sure.
Fling open the bedroom door
Down the hall
To the kitchenette.
Only a few feet away.
Lucky.
Unfamiliar findings.
Scour the fridge.
Ransack the cabinets.
Nothing in particular
Just looking
But then
Grabbing
More and more
What? No! Why?
STOP
Can't,
She's doing it for me
I barely know who's in control
Anymore
Are these hands my own?
Who's feeding who?
Turn on the TV
Distracting myself from the compulsivity
From the behaviour
before I think twice about what I'm doing
What she's making me
do
But for a second,
Mmm.
Haven't ate
Haven't tasted
Its been so long
So good
So filling
So full
Stomach expanding
Exploding
Size of a football
My stomach pounds
It has a heartbeat
Her heartbeat
My heartbeat
Can't tell anymore
Blood
Rushing to my stomach
Rushing to digest.
Digest
All of it
No
No
No
Not If I can help it.
Not If she can help it
Rush
Quickly now
Down the hall
Leave the TV on
No time.
Fan, on.
Tap, on.
Seat, up.
Familiar face of the U-bend.
Heaving.
Heaving.
She plays games.
Fiddlesticks on the back of my throat.
She uses my fingers.
Heaving.
Heaving.
Heaving.
Watering eyes now.
Running mascara.
Ill have to fix that.
My eyes hurt.
Popping from their sockets
With each push.
Heaving
Heaving
Heaving.
Success.
Relief.
She won.
But exhaustion overcomes me.
I tell her, I don't want to play.
Nonsense, she says.
You don't have a choice.
I own you.
Stop. I say.
Flush.
Stand.
The mirror reflects a pained expression.
My own.
Thanks to her
Doublecheck
Flush again.
Makeup, check.
Mouthwash, check.
Perfume, check.
Step out and go back to my room.
Front door clicks.
They're back.
"Hey the TV is on!"
You missed the show.

I AM BACK!

Hi peoples!

I used to have another blog. I got my friend to publish it for me, cause I never had the guts. But she helped me out. She removed my blog from her account list (since I didn't have an account) and told me I would be best off writing my own (some controversy with it being thought that it was hers). She was nice enough to save my work though so I could repost it and stuff. So yeah. Here I am, back again. And ummm, enjoy as usual.
