Inspired?

You should be. Reach your potential. Be what makes you feel beautiful, no matter what other people say. You have the strength to do it.

Because im in a show and its intensive, i cant restrict and fast much, because i canNOT afford dizziness, weakness, or (especially) passing out. But im focusing on eating healthy low cal foods, just enough to get me through. I burn a lot in rehearsals anyway with all the dancing and stuff.

Today, i had a popsicle when i woke up. I ate a Fiber One bar before i worked out, for fuel. After my workout, to re-fuel, i had 100-cal strawberry banana yogurt! yum.
And im focusing on a no guilt rule. im doing what i need to do.

Also, i want all of you to remember that every girl is different. Every dieter, every ana, everyone who wants to feel good about themselves. Dont think "Wow, her low weight is so much lower than mine!" Im not built with a rail-thin frame, even if i want to be. So if i reach 120, im doing awesome! 120 for other girls might be bad, because they are aiming for 105. You know? Dont compare. Just figure out what is right for you, and what works best for you and who you are. You're wonderfully unique.

Love, Ana.

  1. Dont compare. Just figure out what is right for you --
    I need to get this into my head. I have a big build and I am quite tall. I always look thinner than I am. But I still look big!

    I am 16oIbs. This for me is still healthy but for others is obese. I want to be 125Ibs. Which for some girls is nothing. But for me its EVERYTHING!

    I love this post..

  2. I understand. Im about 145-ish right now, and i want to be 120 again. For a lot of girls, 120 is fat, particularly because they're made to be skinny. My genes didnt give that to me, and i struggled with it for a long time. But i was always very active as a kid, so i built up muscle and my BMI is always on the low side of normal.

    It took me a while to accept that my bone frame isnt going to change - ill always have big hips and a wide rib cage - but i can still be thin and beautiful and have as little fat on my body as possible.

    Good luck in all your endeavors. Stay positive always :)
