My Introduction

Okay, so making this account was last minute but now that I'm just chilling upstairs and watching TV I'll do a more proper first post.

I'm 26yrs old (BD June 23rd), and live in Kingston, ON. I've been EDNOS (leaning more towards ana) for roughly 10yrs now. I did have a short lived addiction to MIA, but managed to scare myself enough that I won't let myself fall into that again. I have been SI free for approximately five months, though was for almost 3yrs prior that. It's something my mind has been rolling over again though.

Outside of the ED world, I am an aspiring fiction author and love drawing. I love being creative in general really. I also love Nature and animals. I've been Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian for almost 11yrs, and an Animal Rights Activist for about the same. I'm also Wiccan. I also love video and PC games, horror movies, Magic the Gathering, listening to music, Monster High, and of course dieting and working out.

I've been with my hubby for 3yrs (March 15th) now, but unfortunately we've been doing the long distance thing for almost a year now. He's suppose to be moving down here as soon as we have the money for an apartment of our own. Things haven't been progressing very easily lately though. It's extremely depressing, hence the SI thoughts.

I work full time at a call center. It's actually an amazing one, with amazing people to work with (minus a select few as with any place) and everything is so team orientated and they definitely make the work worth while. It's even more worth while, though, as I'm now in the department I love, and on a nigh shift which I love. Won't give too much for detail, as we're not suppose to, but it's for an American cell phone company, but I work nothing but business account cases through e-mail only.

I live with a couple of friends right now, though desperately want my own apartment as soon as possible if things aren't going to move very quickly with hubby moving down. I have two Siamese boy rats (had a third boy, but he sadly had to be put to sleep on the 14th from a massive infection that popped up around a tumor he had. He was my oldie boy, but I miss him) and will be getting a couple more as soon as I can arrange transport to get/pick them up from the rescue in Peterborough. I also have a male Bearded Dragon, a Leopard Gecko (which I'm rehoming soon), and a pretty male Betta fish. I also have my big fat orange boy kitty, but he's with the hubby in Sarnia right now. My roommates have 5 cats and a pit bull boxer mix girl.

I'm almost at my highest weight right now and am disgusting with myself. I'm hovering around 170-172 lately, and it has to stop. Money has been tight, so hopefully after this coming pay check (we get paid on the 8th and 22nd each month) I can get some more lowcal stuff. I have a sort of plan, to at least get back on track with my eating, which will be easy to follow and pretty cheap, and hope to do it for two weeks solid, at least. My "plan" is to have one banana, one nectarine, and two yogurt cups for "breakfast" before work, then to have veggies and possibly some berries for snacks and my lunch (with some homemade hummus and/or guacamole), one of those little individual cups of lowfat cottage cheese, and possibly some "marinated mushrooms" (just some raw mushrooms left to soak in a yummy dressing of some sort) once in a while. Basically, I want to switch to a 90% raw and unprocessed food diet. I haven't really got a solid plan for something to eat when I get home from work, but other than some yogurt or something, I'm going to try and just not eat when I get home as much.

So, I think I've rambled enough for this first post. Hope you've been able to stick it out lol I hope to meet some awesome friends through here and will always comment back!
