Ahora creo que sé por qué mi psicóloga hace 1 semana atrás me dijo que las cosas que yo hago son exactamente para definir a una persona anoréxica. Pero yo no tengo todo! Además.... apuesto que ella quiere que yo sea más gorda que ella, por eso me hace esto -.-

Un gusto conocerlas a todas :) jamás olviden que para conseguir lo mejor, debemos ser las mejores.. en TODO! Besitos :)) P.S: cierro este perfil.
The only person standing in your way is YOU.

I'm not telling you it's gonna be easy, I'm telling yu it's going to be worth it.

I don't hate you, I'm just not necessarily excited about your existence.

Don't be so quick to judge me; you only see what I choose to show.

There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking.

People were created to be loved and things were created to be used. The reason the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.

You can't get rid of your fears but you can learn to live with them.

I stopped eating and then everyone had to do what I said. That was powerful.

If you don't control your mind, someone else will.

• I do eat: only what is needed for . I can't help it that we live in a piggish society where gluttony is the norn, and everyone else is constantly stuffing themselves.

• Starving is an example of excellent will power.

• Fighting for the smallest goal: get a little self control.

• The difference between want and need is self-control.

• You've come too far to take orders from a cookie.

• Good girls don't swallow.

• An amateur practices untill he can get it right. A professional practices untill he can’t get it wrong.

• Do you believe in something beautiful? Then get up and be it!

• Hunger hurts but starving works.
