A sexy little tattoo on my upper back when I get to half-way point</p> <p>2. Pink hair extensions with my dyed black hair.&nbsp; Fringy punk look.</p> <p>3. Buying clothes for the first time in half a year!&nbsp; </p> <p>4. Going back to school.</p> <p>So my plan is to take the phentermine pills with the Jenny meals, along with half an hour of exercise a day.&nbsp; I actually asked to NOT be shown my weight because I just realized I may be over 140 lbs, not 130 (which I thought at first).&nbsp; </p> <p>But anyway, I started crying in the consultation room today.&nbsp; She had to give me a tissue so I could continue on.&nbsp; But seriously, I'd rather DIE than have to lose weight again.&nbsp; Thus the life maintenance plan.&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/karin/comments/5772/eventful-day">Comments(1)</a> 5772 Friday, December 2, 2005 00:09:01 FEAR OF SCALE http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/karin/comments/4833/fear-of-scale <p>I just realized I have an incredible fear of the scale.&nbsp; I haven't stepped on it since 6 weeks ago, when I weighed in at 135.&nbsp; I binged since then, so I may even be 140 or more.&nbsp; Sigh.</p> <p>I'm only <strong>5&quot;2</strong>, by the way.&nbsp; </p> <p>I should be sleeping but I can't because I'm having brain zaps.&nbsp; Note to self: antidepressants are no better than cocaine.&nbsp; AND they make you fat.&nbsp; </p> <p>Since being plagued with depression a year ago, I've developed some oddly psychotic tendencies:</p> <p>1. Fear of cell phone.&nbsp; The missed calls thing beeped so much that I just left it at home.&nbsp; It beeps now, but I hide it in my closet.</p> <p>2. Fear of email (haven't checked in eons, and the very thought that the emails are piling up pushes me closer to insanity.&nbsp; </p> <p>3. Weird sexual fantasies.&nbsp; I seemed to have awakened the SM'er in me.&nbsp; I have no desire to actually touch a guy though.&nbsp; Which brings me to the next odd tendency...</p> <p>4. Considering asexuality.&nbsp; I can be like a plant.&nbsp; </p> <p>5.&nbsp; Making my face bleed.&nbsp; I can't stop picking at it...I have literally 12 bloody scabs.&nbsp; </p> <p>6.&nbsp; Not wanting to sleep.</p> <p>BUT during my time of antidepressants, I had a chance to truly reflect on WHY I got so depressed.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think I went over the top when I lost 20 pounds for the 20th f*cking time.&nbsp; I've never been free from eating disorders, and I guess it just dawned upon me that I never will.&nbsp; </p> <p>*tries to stay awake because I also fear the particularly <em>vivid </em>withdrawal dreams*</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/karin/comments/4833/fear-of-scale">Comments(0)</a> 4833 Friday, December 2, 2005 00:02:03 Still waiting for my Phentermine http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/karin/comments/4828/still-waiting-for-my-phentermine <p>I'm not sure how much longer I can wait.&nbsp; I'm going to give it another 2 weeks to arrive.&nbsp; In the meantime, I have my Stacker and Xenadrine.&nbsp; Funny thing is, I don't take them like I should.&nbsp; I've been half dying from all this effexor withdrawal.&nbsp; Blagh.</p> <p>But I recieved some good news.&nbsp; I'm going on a cruise with my family in April, so I'll see how much I can lose by then.&nbsp; The trip won't be fun if I have to wear big baggy clothes.&nbsp; </p> <p>I also have another motivation.&nbsp; For the first time in over a year, I'm beginning to show interest in the opposite sex.&nbsp; It blows my mind really but I'm tired of 'staying loyal' to the ol' ex...when he doesn't even know I'm alive.&nbsp; </p> <p>*collapses back into bed with throbbing headache*</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/karin/comments/4828/still-waiting-for-my-phentermine">Comments(2)</a> 4828 Friday, December 2, 2005 00:02:02
