Flop it is.
Remember that fasting pledge I made last night? Yeah. That didn't work too well.
When I came from school, it was a Friday, I was tired, and there was a massive steamer of steamed sweetpotato in front of me. I hadn't eaten anything so far, and...yum!!!
I struggled. I really did. I was like "I can just have one can't I? It's still a vegie", and then I was like "No, I made a pledge and I must demonstrate self control". It went on for a while. An hour, to be exact. In the end I gave in. I caved. I ate about 2 medium sweetpotatoes worth of sliced sweetpotatoes. AND I didn't stop there. Oh no. My mum picked up an absoloutely MASSIVE apricoyt danish pastry from the local bakery for my underweight brother, and it was there. Just there. The underweight brother didn't want it-he just left it there! Luckily someone else already ate at least 1/4 of it. I caved. Again. Ate the remainig 3/4. And I'm telling you, this was BIG pastry. Thin-ish, but BIG.
Sad face. I also had a small apple, one toasted almond and three plain, large doritos. They tasted like taco shells.
Why can't I control myself? I'm actually sooooo disappointed! Whe I got through over half the day, I could feel my stomach shrinking! IT felt so good! Of course I wanted that to last, but apparently I wanted food more. How do you cope with temptations!?! Especially when your family offers you food and encourages you to eat the crappp.
Now I don't want to go out. But I have to. I always have to.
Sigh. Tomorrow will be better, I promise. Let's go all fruit and veg. You can do this Sj...

Fourth day failure?
Is it even possible to binge on watermelon.
I ate a QUARTER of a watermelon, about 300 calories and 80 carbohydrates. That's a lot of water. And melon. *Sigh*
I felt so willpowerless today...I just wanted to eat eat eat, eat this and eat that and eat everything I could see. I ate 50 grams of sweet banana chips, around 250 calories, and they're not that healthy. I only ate them because they were bananas. Not eating them again...
There was also a lack of fruit in the house. There are only three apples left, because my skinny skinny skinny brother ate them all! Of all the fatty food we have in this house, apples? Really? Had to choose to eat my entire food source? Thanks.
Anyway, my food of choice today was a rice thin, a salada and a slice of thin thin thin raisin toast + butter. On the plus side, I made 10 cups of water today! Well I always have, but whatever okay. Make me feel good.
OOOOOOOOH! GUESS WHAT. TOMORROW. FASTING. ME. DOING IT.
Yes, you read that right. Or at least attempted to make sense of the numerous words. But I'm fasting tomorrow...yay? Just to get rid of all the extra calories I've carried so far...logged or not. I put this on my blog because I need ACCOUNTABILITY! I was able to pull off a 1.5 day fast once, and a 3 day fast. For that 3 day fast though, I had to be angry at everyone so they wouldn't bother me about not eating or offer me temptations or anything. Don't really want to be mad at people anymore...especially for nothing they've done...
Anyway, I really really really want to complete a 24 hour + tonight's sleep time fast. I used to do around 13 hour fasts all day, from when I went to bed, I skipped breakfast and school lunch (schol goes for 6 hours). It was alright, and it was especially good when I had gum. I stopped because I knew not eating breakfast was killing me, slowly.
But yeah.
I hereby proclaim that I, Sarah-Jane, will complete a 24 hour fast on Friday 17th of May, in addition to the amount of sleep I get tonight. I am doing this to prove my own willpower to myself, as well as get rid of the excess calories and sugar I have consumed from the past week. I have totally NOT comethis far to give up, or come this far while cheating. That doesn't count. When times get tough, I will drink water, brush my teeth, paint my nails, chew gum, think about my stomach and my skinny skinny wardrobe. I WILL DO THIS!!
Whoooooooooo!
Sorry. Getting a bit hyped up there. Anyway, I hope it'll be alright, which it should be, because I'm going out tomorrow night and there isn't any free food! So that's just about 2.5 hours of resistance. C'mon Sj, you can live 2.5 hours not eating!!!
Oh, and for those of you that are in Melbourne (Aus.), I'm trying out for John Monash Science School! I don't know why. But I'm attending those tuition classes on the weekend that go for 5 hours...fun? Oh well, I'll learn more! I want to go into science because I really really want to be a dietitian/nutritionist, and to do that I absolutely must take biology and chemistry. And I need an ATAR of 92.5% to get into Nutrition and Food at Monash Uni. I can't believe I'm already planning. (I'm 14!) Oh well, I'll just look to the greater forces...

Third Day Trial
The title has trial in it for a reason.
I slipped today. I had a massive chocolate binge! I ate literally 125 grams of hazelnut chocoloate. I didn't buy it by the way, my mum did. But I know, that's not an excuse. It just started out with one innocent serving, as my non-week-one-plan food. Then mum asked me to pass it over.
And it was left there.
Me. The chocolate. The anticipation.
I caved.
I think I could feel the fat accumulating on my hips. My mum and I also bought chocolate croissants, supposedly for my underweight brother, but guess who ate one? That's right, me.
I really need motivation and accountability. Anyone to help? Please?
Thanks to the rest of my fruit & veg eating, and footy training, I stayed within my calorie limit, but I ate my exercise calories back.
I loooooove footy training by the way. I used to hate footy, but now I'm in love. And soccer season is starting, so hopefully that'll help. Oh, and I might join swimming again!!! Any Oasis Otters out there!? Please let me know and we can be buddies!!
But yeah. I'm disappointed, but thankful I didn't completly give up my entire day. How was your day?
As always, my food diary (the link) is below...enjoy? Just backtrack a little bit if you find this blog in the future, and you can see for yourself just how much chocolate I ate...hahaha

Second Day Speculation
Ba da di daaaaaa…(drumroll please, for no particular reason)
Mummy dearest
cooked chicken-celery stir-fry and noodles today. I failed to resist. I had a
cup of those drool worthy noodles and about a cup of that CC stir fry. Someone
motivate me/hold me accountable!!! Plez man. Plez.
My willpower isn't getting any stronger...I read that your willpower is like a muscle; it can be strengthened and exercised! How cool is that?! I need to do this more often...
I can feel my belly not bloating already! (Underneath that layer
of fat…) That’s an achievement I guess…
What’s your favourite food on the Week One diet plan? Mine is
DEFINITELY apples!!! We have a ginorrmous basket of beautifully textured apples
right now…and I hope we always will! Every single one of them are shaped
differently-some are as big as half my head and others are the size of a plum!
Either way, they are ALL sweet, crisp and crunchaaaaaaay.
Fortunately, I like fruit. It’s always been my favourite food, whether I’m eating healthy or re-feeding. Vegetables, I’m not in love with, but I eat them obsessively anyway because of the low-joule, low-carb, low-fat and high nutrient content. Nom.

First Day Feedback!
Hey hey hey humans!!!
Please raise your hand if you are on the four week plan at the moment. If your hand is raised, bend your elbow so your arm is positioned behind your back. Now pat it.
This morning when I woke up and changed into my school uniform, my kilt was disappointingly tight :( This was kind of anticipated though, because I'd been eating crapolaaaa for about four days. But now, I'm happy I'm on this four week plan. You should be too.
I'd say today was a great success...I stuck to all fruit, and had a French vanilla slice as my non-complying-wiht-the-plan food. It was YUMMO, but a little bit to much. Anyway, I feel super energetic and awake (which must be a good thing, right?!)...here's a look at my food diary today (thanks MFP <3):

I am RIDICULOUSLY sorry about the fuzziness, but this is as good as its gonna get. Yeah, I kinda went overboard with the carbs and sugar (these two are my weaknesses!) but I think it's still alright...yeah?
Anyone got any tips on getting a big picture without the font being ridiculously small?
Love, Sarah-Jane/Sj

4 Week Plan!
Hey all! Hope you had a great weekend!
Well, I did some research and discovered very contradictory information...one source cited that to beskinny and get a flat belly, all you had to do was eat fruit, because it is the most quickly digesting thing, unlike meat and dairy. Numerous other sources cited that going low carb was best for losing weight (yes it's just water weight), because for every gram of carb you take in it takes in with it another 2 grams of water.
So. I was a confuzzled little girl. Until...I was like "Why can't we have both?"
So, starting tomorrow, Monday 13th, I will undertake a four-week diet plan, with each week varying so it doesn't get boring or repetitive! This embodies a mixture of both pieces of aforemetioned information, so here we go!
Week One: Fruit, vegetables and water only! Nothing else! This cleanses your colon, stomach and gives you nice flat belly.
Week Two: This week, we'll be low-carbing! This gets rid off all the unnecessary water weight you're carrying. So, no fruit, and definitely no bread! Focus on vegetables and lean meat. What are
your favourite low carb choices? Comments appreciated!
Week Three: Take a break and eat whatever you want, but stick STRICTLY to 1200 calories or under each day!
Week Four: For the first three days of the week, go low-carb again. This is like a mini-cleanse for the week you had before. For the next four days, eat like week one again. Fruit, veg and water. This
ensures you ge the best results possible! (and the best belly ;) )
Rules: Of course there are rules.
-Do not eat back your excersise calories!
-ONE food item allowed every two days that is not included
weekly plan
-Drink at least 15 cups of water every day
-Chewing gum still allowed, thank goodness
-Stay under 1200 calories ALL the time
-Take a progress picture every week! Will be uploaded! Which reminds me, I still need to upload my previous progress pics.
SO yeah! Please feel free to join me on this plan and tell me how you're going if you do!
Love, Sarah-Jane/Sj
