You sound like such a sweetheart!
You're also such an inspiration! Man.. just reading that first post of yours has really got me pumped up and ready to lose this weight.
Wish I had done it when I was your age but hey.. better late than never right

Your art is amazing btw! Do you have a gallery anywhere? I have my art posted in Elfwood Too lazy and unskilled to make my own page to post my art heh......
It's really a great place to post fantasy/sci-fi pics and/or stories and get constructive crits or just comments on them though.


Anywho.. seems like today is your prom. Have fun girl!

waahh~ I haven't lost weight in so long~ I have NO time to go to the gym now that I'm in public school again~ NO time at all~ I've been stressed~ getting no sleep (3-5 hours a night in the past week)~ I'm starting to get chest pains~ my family has their own problems that they're stressing a/b also~ and I just cant' handle much more of this~!! I'm worried if I go finish the rest of the school year off like this I'll stay back another grade when I go back to highschool next schoolyear~ b/c homeschool doesn't count for ANYTHING when you go back to public school~ but I wanted to go back to become a cheerleader... and I dont' learn anything in homeschool~ I want to learn things so I can be smart like my friends... and I just can't handle anything~
I skipped school today b/c I need to get my head straight b4 i loose it in class agn~ I have nobody to talk to... help~? ~__~

btw~ I do indeed have a gallery of some of my pictures~

Hi KasumiNeko,

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through such a hard time. I'm sure transitioning back into school is exceptionally hard. I don't know what to say to make you feel better because I'm not sure what's exactly going on. I will tell you that you should take care of your mind and spirit right now. Keep eating healthy and don't worry about exercise until you're mentally and emotionally better. Besides, I'm sure you're getting exercise now that you're back in school. Just walking from class to class adds up! And if you're cheerleading now, you're definately getting your exercise in. I've gone through physical illness caused by stress, and I explored ways to cope. Sometimes it was really hard because nothing seemed to work, but I realized that I wasn't truly clearing my head at those times. You should try to find an outlet for you frustrations. Perhaps in your art? Also, keeping a private journal where you write down your thoughts might help. And finally, pamper yourself every now and then! Take a nice, hot bath for relaxation. It really works! Hang in there, though. You're a strong person and you can get through this. PM me if you need someone to vent to. I hope this helps a little.

I didnt' make it as a cheerleader~ I never even got to try out b/c I was too late~ oh, well~ maybe next year~ as for school~ I'm out of school b/c it stressed me too much and my doctor got me to stay home for the rest of the school year and do anything not to stress so I dont' get chest pains~ ~__~...

I pigged out all week but for some reason I haven't gained anything~ and managed to maintain~ I'm loosing agn though~ now that I'm back to the gym~
Mom took me out to look at bikinis~ they've always got me all determined to loose weight~ since I've always been wanting to wear one~
allll my swimsuits are like... one-piece black things~ I hate black so much b/c of that~ all these skinny girls wearing colorful 2-pieces~ I envied them~

Mom says that when I get down to 149 she'll buy me a bikini~ not sure I'll be able to wear it by then~ I think I'm fat... or wide... I just dont' see some one who is skinny in my reflection~ but I tried on my old bathingsuit just now~ I guess the black color makes me look slimmer (which is why my bathingsuits have always been black)~ but tell me wut you all think?

You look soooooooo awesome! Keep up the good work...you're doing great. I want to be just like you! I have 117 pounds to go! How long has it taken you?

~~thnx for the add on DA~ =D
Only~ I'm working hard on a manga right now~ so I don't think I'll be submitting anything too soon~ maybe I will -shrugs- =P

~~I've bn tryin to loose weight for a year and a half now~ I slacked off alot or it probibly would have taken less time to get this far~ =P
But good luck ridding of your 117lbs!!<3! =3 dont' slack off like I did~ ^__^;;; haha...

Outstanding!

I have immense RESPECT for you.

I think heavier people who get thin deserve MUCH more respect then naturaly thin people who brag about it.

You are in the home stretch!! I can't wait to see before and after pics! I'm sure you look AWESOME right now!
