I’ve been working The Plan for a week now, and I’m starting to feel like my clothes are fitting me better again. And on top of that, I bought a couple of new things – a new pair of jeans and a top – with my babysitting money. They look pretty good on [...]

I stepped on the scale this morning. I try not to even notice it exists in this house, but this morning I decided to step on it. Now I’m depressed. I gained weight. A LOT of weight. I think I was about 112 lbs at the beginning of the school [...]

What do I want to do with my life? What do I want to do this year? How about what should I be doing today, Saturday…

I have to clean my room. It’s long overdue. I can’t see the floor anymore, and there is dust on everything. I’m feeling very closed [...]

I used to call her that. My little sister. But lately, I think I’m wrong about that. I mean, yeah, she gets to do a lot of stuff that I never got away with, and somehow she seems to be surrounded by friends. She’s involved in all sorts of activities and [...]

I took the test today. I don’t know if I passed. Maybe I did. If I didn’t, my mom is going to kill me. She asked me how I think I did. I feel really rotten about the way I responded. I think she really wants me to do [...]

Damn! He wasn’t in the stairwell today. He wasn’t even at school. I hope he’s ok. S said she heard he got really really sick. That means I probably won’t see him for the whole rest of the week! Ugh! How am I ever going to get my [...]

I can’t believe I did that. I’m SO stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. I don’t want to be stupid anymore! When am I going to get over this and just talk to him? He was right there, right there looking at me. I froze. I looked like [...]
