(52) Start Kickin' In, Coffee

Well I've been in the Robert Bell computer lab for over 5 hours. Its 1:19 AM and I got here at 8. I have to make 3 projects for j104 (with two down), which is a graphic design course that's a core curriculum for journalism majors. I absolutely love the class, but squeezing in the time for the projects is tough.

I'm at a complete creative block right now. Kyle came over to keep me company and we just had some coffee, and I ate animal crackers because I'm hungry :(
Not sad because I ate, but because I want more food.

Also, today while at Woodworth with friends/fashion crew, I walked in on the most disturbing conversation between two girls working at the comfort zone. Neither girls were overweight, as a matter of fact they were very pretty; but seem to have some offbeat body issues. I walked up to the counter debating whether or not I should get ribs (which I'm thinkin' I shoulda!), and the girl goes on with her conversation to the other telling her that she used to eat 800 calories a day and worked out for a minimum of two hours per day.
Uh, two hours would burn those calories off without a problem. So realistically she was pretty much working out while starving herself. And working out everyday for more than 20 minutes can't possibly be good for you. I'm pretty sure this type of behavior is a n eating disorder thats on the rise lately, called something along the lines of "excersize bulimia", I believe. Its reverse of the typical eating disorder, which is that they have an extremely positive view of their lifestyle. Excersizing is healthy, and it can't possibly be bad for you... Bu then comes the case of over-doing it, which can have terrible effects on the body.

I'd say I don't understand why people think this way, but its an eating disorder so I can't blame those who are suffering from it. A lot of times I worry about my friend Chelsea, who, at least for a time being, was walking on a thin line of trying to keep herself healthy and falling into this eating disorder. I would walk into the room and find her doing situps and other nonsensical things right before we would go out. Literally, we couldn't leave until she did crunches for at least (x) number of reps... Does this sound healthy?
No.

I tried to explain this to her once, and that I was worried about her, but of course "There's no way keeping myself in shape is unhealthy!". I think eventually she came to realise that she was being excessive, so as far as I know she's alright now.

Well I think I oughta gather some more information on this before I go any further, and I really oughta finish this last poster... which I still have no ideas for.
