I am still holding off on charting calories because D seems to obsess about them more when I do.  I am not sure, though.  It seems like she is overestimating her calorie intake so I might chart tomorrow just to see how accurate her estimations are.

She lost 2 pounds this last week, weighing 134.  She only weighs at doctor visits.  She is eating less and less each day until she feels like she is going to pass out.  Then the next day she eats what she considers a normal amount, generally about 1000 calories, before beginning the process again.  She states her goal is to figure out the "perfect" amount of calories that she can eat w/o passing out.

She has learned a lot about what the body uses each type of food for and is targeting her eating to be most beneficial to her body.  For example, she is likely to eat pb on crackers before working out b/c she knows that carbohydrates give the body energy and the brain needs fat to function well.

She has also stated that fine arts is more important to her than losing weight right now and that in some ways she hopes they don't make it to nationals so that she can completely stop eating the end of the month.  She practices for about an hour most days, though I am not sure if that is more about fine arts or more about exercising.
