Today? Much like yesterday. Still no call from the doctor telling me about my blood test results- constant reminders poking at my anticipation: bruised vein, weight gain, hormones, lack of menstruation.
This is Wednesday of week 3 of being late. 4 weeks will start Monday. 4 weeks. thats a month. so a month late. 2 months without menstruation. WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?!
:/ the worst part about not knowing is that i am constantly battling my ana.
She tells me "dont eat. dont eat. Your getting fat and they are going to say your not pregnant. so dont eat"
and my humanity tells me "What happens if you are pregnant and you dont eat and starve the thing!? eat just in case. just eat. its fine. eat."
and i, little ellie, sits in the corner holding her ears waiting for the voices to go away.
I want to starve. I do. But i cannot and will not force that on another life. I wish i just knew. So that i could choose eat, or starve. In a normal world its so simple. And if children werent so precious to me then ana would take over my life. Im still sticking to small meals. Restricting my intake. Just no fasting until a for sure answer.
Today?
1banana ~150 cal
1mango ~130 cal
1soft pretzel no salt 150 cal
and 1cup spaghetti 221 cal
and prego spaghetti sauce (1/2 cup is 80, i used less than that in my cup of spaghetti) ~20 cal
Total cal intake today? 671 cal
and with my short walk today i burned around 250 cal
total cal intake after calories burned~ around 421 (which is pretty good if you ask me)
So hopefully thats enough to suffice a child if there is one.
IM CROSSING MY FINGERS FOR THAT CALL TOMORROW! i want to get back to my dieting, or at least find a way to keep ana in on pregnancy? Ive been researching it, This is my favorite analysis thus far. Refer to :

I believe i am
"
Some women with disordered eating are able to more easily cope with weight gain during pregnancy because
they see it as a sacrifice for an important cause"
now while i agree that if you are pregnant and dealing with an eating disorder you should most definitely advise your doctor, i dont (being pro-ana) really think its required you "recover" before pregnancy. While it is risk of undernourishment to an extreme, we deal with it anyway. Some ana's or mia's, including myself, find they might be able to eat a little bit, but only enough for a child, and no more than that, because we find it "worth it". While others may say no, my weight means too much.
Its a
war. its always been a battle. But not knowing if i am or am not expecting, it has officially become a war.
I will keep you all updated to let you know if i hear anything but for right now i need to go shower.
...i dont even know what im hoping for anymore. baby or no baby.. i just want skinny.
