Quiet Day

I've been working on J's birthday present all day. I'm sort of excited to give it to him, but a little embarrassed as well. Definitely not giving it to him during the family dinner; his grandparents will probably pull out another $5000 check right after me. It's simple, really homely, but I've been working on it all week so hopefully he'll like it.

Anyway, I watched a couple films while I was drawing. Black Swan and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I've already seen them multiple times, but I love rewatching them because the actresses are so skinny and beautiful. Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, and Rooney Mara were all under 100 pounds for filming and are all around my height. That's so encouraging and inspirational. They all look lovely.

I had half a leftover cupcake this morning and green tea throughout the day. I'm supposed to meet a friend tomorrow for dinner and drinks, so I suppose I won't eat til then. On Saturday, I'm having dinner with J and his family at a Japanese restaurant, which is really quite a relief. Japanese food is so light and carb-free. I'll probably take him out for lunch earlier in the day, but that doesn't mean I have to eat.

I haven't weighed myself all week, but I think I will tomorrow morning. Maybe tonight, if I can gather the courage. I'm terrified of the number, but am dying to know what it is.

Well, that's all for today.

  1. I heard Black Swan mentioned on a few blogs as being a good ED movie. I've never seen it, but I didn't really think it was about that. Am I wrong?
    I hope the present giving goes well!

    1. Thank you!! It turned out great, he loved his gift :)
      No, it's not exactly about EDs specifically, but the main character struggles with finding control and peace in her life so that sort of relates to it for me. Also, the aesthetics of a bunch of skinny girls running around the entire film adds to it.
