today went great

elizara added an entry about lose weight : i really ate about 200 calories or less, after a week of binging. it was such a relief to not think about food. Of course, i wasn’t hungry because of how much i had been eating in the days before. tomorrow will slowly get back to normal. i think i’m going fast one day a week or so… it’s a nice break from the food obsession.

When I began my pregnancy in April the year before I believe I was 267lbs. Reguardless, one gall bladder surgery and pregnancy later I am 235lbs. I would like to be 135lbs.
