I’m ___ tall and weigh ___lbs. How much should I lose?

I don’t know, I’m not you, how much you want to weigh is your own personal opinion and up to your physician as to what is healthy for you.

Where did you get your theme for extraskinny?

I made them, sorry. If I had more time I would make themes for people to download.

Do you have an eating disorder?

I am not diagnosed, so no, I do not. I hate it when people say they do have one when they haven’t been diagnosed for any eating disorder. It’s like saying you have cerebral palsy  or cancer, when you have never had it. Who would want such a disease?

By the school psychiatrist, I have been diagnosed with EDNOS as of late October 2011.

As of December 2011, I have been diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa.

How much do you weigh?

I am not entirely certain, for my boyfriend thinks it is best that we do not own a scale. I do know that it in the 80s however, as told by the doctors at school (they don’t like to give me exact numbers).

Do you drink, smoke or do drugs?

No smoking, no drugs, drinking is very minimum because I am a lightweight and get very emotional and black out when I drink. I also grew up around addicts so I kind of follow a motto of monkey see, monkey avoid.

Where do you go to school and what program are you in? Is it hard to get in it?

I go to university in Ontario and my major is Geography, with a minor in Sociology, and a certificate/diploma in Writing and Publications.

I’ve been thinking of asking for help because I think I have ____, but am afraid to do so. Should I get help?

YES! Getting myself help for my anxiety was the best decision I made for myself. I found out a lot about myself and discovered I have some tendencies and diagnoses I didn’t even think I have. If you are thinking of or are in post-secondary education, you may even qualify for special accommodations and bursaries because of your disorder(s). The only way to qualify for these accommodations and bursaries however, is if you are clinically diagnosed, which can only happen if you decide to get help.

Have you been diagnosed with anything/What have you been diagnosed with?

I really do not like to make myself look “sick”, but I get this question a lot since I decided to get help in late October 2011:

  • General Anxiety Disorder with social phobias
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, specifying in appearance and food. 
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Body Dysmorphic Disorder
  • EDNOS Anorexia Nervosa
  • Mild Autism
What happened to you that caused your PTSD?
I would rather not say, except that it is several events and that every disorder aside from me being Autistic can all be stemmed from these events to form one giant blob of a mess that is me.
How big is Cheeseburger/how old is he/where did you get him/what do you feed him/what is wrong with him/why is he so cute?
  1. 20lbs as of December 2011.
  2. He was allegedly born in January 2011.
  3. The Humane Society (PLEASE ADOPT FROM SHELTERS, THE MOST LOVING ANIMALS CAN BE FOUND THERE WAITING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES)
  4. Whiskas. For Indoor Cats…designed to lose weight and keep them active. He eats nothing but Whiskas (and also likes the taste of paper and cardboard, which we don’t allow him to eat) so his weight must be heredity.
  5.  His back legs are not aligned properly and bow out, so he runs funny. His hind leg muscles are also very weak so he can not prop himself up on only his hind legs (he falls over). He has a lazy eye so he tends to miss his targets when he is after something. He is also going blind, which is why he looks high all the time (his pupils are extremely dilated almost all the time so as much light can get in his eyes so he can see, even in broad daylight) In addition to this, he is almost 100% mute and only trills and purrs. No growling, hissing, and we’ve barely heard him meow…even when my  shih-tzuxpug at my mom’s house bit him.
  6. Because he thinks everything in the world is his friend.
What about that small grey cat?
His name is Fries, and he is about 7-8 months younger than Cheeseburger, half the size of Cheeseburger, and under half his weight at only 7lbs.
He is the exact opposite, yet best friend (I’m not exaggerating, the two cuddle together and work together to be little shit disturbers around here) of Cheeseburger, as Fries is hyper, talkative, alert, super cuddly, and shy/cautious around new people.
Cheeseburger also sometimes uses Fries as a seeing eye cat by  pawing Fries’ tail as they walk around the apartment together. 
If I’m taking a photo of myself, you can almost always find Fries in the foreground or background, as he is extremely needy/clingy and must be by Dave, Cheeseburger, or me, at all times.
