I decided to take away all the trash (mags,internet,thinspiration) out of my life. This happened in March and slowly but surely I came back, and 25 pounds too! When I catch a glance at the brain washing advertisments etc around me, I just shake my heads and pity the sad people behind all this shame. This program worked for me! Cheers Mama V, you are saint like. I just read over this post, and even though it is a little too late to be joining this campaign, I did want to note that I went on one of ‘fasts’ a while ago.

I watched your challenge video on youtube when you made it. I was *so* not into the idea at the time! But at the end of July I gave it a shot--except I followed the challenge for 4 months instead of 30 days. The only thing I didn't do was chuck the scale--I continued to weigh in daily. But I did not visit pro ana sites, watch youtube videos, look at thinspo, read or look at fashion/beauty mags, watch any weight related tv programs, etc. For 4 months. I maintained my weight of 105 lbs for just over 4 months. My weight never fluctuated more than 2 pounds and never fell below 105. So I've given your challenge a go with the best of effort I was able to muster--and I DO think it was a good effort. I didn't gain weight but I maintained for a long time. Maintaining is a good thing though, isn't it? What I gained from the experience was the ability to center myself in peace and positive energy, achieved through daily transcendental meditation. I no longer experience depression like I used to--but my depression was related to traumatic experiences of my past rather than fretting about my weight. Weight control and weight loss were ways I coped with those intense feelings, but I have developed new ways through my meditation practices. However, I am now back on a high exercise routine and looking forward to dropping more weight before the new year. All I'm saying is that your challenge did help me develop very good and effective coping mechanisms and helped me maintain my weight for a long time. But it didn't "cure" my anorexic tendencies.
