In terms of the media and online blogging today, thinspo or thinspiration tends to be lots of emacicated, very skinny, ill-looking young girls and celebs.
Thinspiration has been used for years! And I don't mean the promotion of eating disorders and having bones pop out everywhere. I use it as a bit if inspiration to look good, my current goal is to look good for Mexico.
The girls I have as thinspo are typically slim but healthy. Don't expect any bones or sunken cheekbones.
So whenever I post thinspo, know it's not in the modern sense but for my own little motivation.

About me
Aside from all the bleak imagery of my eating disorder and self-harming, here is a bit about me.
Statistics -
Height: 5'9
Weight: 140
HW: About 160 I think
LW: 130
Hair: Currently a dark red but naturally blonde
Eyes: Blue
Other: I have a 27" waist, 34" legs, 34C/D boobs (although they used to be A LOT bigger - 36F), freckles, rubbish fingernails, pretty nice feet (one of my only body parts I like), 11 piercings and currently no tattoos (although I plan to get one before the summer).
Favourites -
Music: Red hot chili peppers, Muse, Queen, Placebo, The Strokes, R.E.M, Kings of Leon, Queens of the stone age, David Bowie, Eminem, The raconteurs, Blur, Foo fighters, Pendulum.
Films: Lost in Translation, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, Donnie Darko.
I plan to study film at university and would love a career in film production, so needless to say, the list of films I LOVE is rather extensive and probably too long. So I'll stick to my three favourites.
TV: The Mighty Boosh, Summer heights high, America's next top model, girls of the playboy mansion, Flight of the conchords, Nip/tuck, family guy, gossip girl, Miami Ink, Green wing.
Books: I do enjoy reading. My favourite author has to be Irvine Welsh. His books are so wonderfully fucked up it makes even me feel normal haha. Another book is Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis (although it was probably mostly written by Larry Sloman with Anthony Kiedis mainly speaking, but in all fairness I did think he put his heart and soul into that book). The chili's have been and probably always will be my favourite band.
Other loves: My favourite shops are H&M, topshop and Primark (even though it's not very ethically balanced). My absolute favourite shop which I think I could buy my entire wardrobe from is Urban Outfitters. I also adore ASOS even if most the clothes look much better on the site.
I listen to radio one almost every week day. I honestly love Scott Mills. He and his team make me laugh so much, he keeps me sane, mun.

A little introduction
Hello there. This is the blog of a girl who, after many failed attempts, is tyring a new approach to getting better. Before I start, this is NOT a pro-ana site or anything along those lines. It is simply a blog acting as an online diary for a girl trying to beat her eating disorder and jot down her other feelings.
Okay. I am going to write under the pseudonym Nia Maxwell.
I am in my late teens and since the age of 15 I've suffered from bullimia although in recent months it's been the worst I've ever had it. At the minute, I am sick after everything I eat, including breakfast. My mouth is currently a beacon of ulcers and blood-blisters, and my throat is always sore and scratchy. The back of my tongue is rough and red from my fingers and, the worst part yet, my teeth are really beginning to show the effects of my constant purging.
I am purging about... 4/5 times a day. Up until about October/November 2008, it was only once, maybe twice a day.
Subsequently, my depression has became a lot worse! My Dad passed away in 2005 when I was just 13 (a little insight into my age). Since then, me and my Mum have not got on at all. After his death my weight ballooned a bit. I have no idea what I was at the time nor what I was at my heaviest, but I went from UK size 8/10 to quite a big 14 (for the US, that's 4/6 to 10).
It wasn't just my weight that bothered me but the size I was. I was depressed and hated the way I looked. I wore nothing but plain t-shirts, quite loose fitting jeans and big, black hoodies.
When I was about 15, I decided enough was enough and went on a drastic diet. I gave up chocolate, crisps, pop, anything sweet/unhealthy, all other junk food and pasta for lent. I don't know how much weight I lost but I'm guessing about 7/8 lbs.
It was around this time I became bullimic. And I've been bulimic ever since.
In 2006 after a big arguement with my Mum, I cut my wrists. The cuts weren't deep and they barely drew blood but it was my first experience of self-harm.
It is now February 2009 and it's safe to say I am now definately a self-harmer. My left arm is covered in deep, bleeding slits. This is something I want to conquere also.
So there we have it. I'm a british teenage girl with a serious case of bulimia who self-harms daily and wants to get healthy and lose weight the proper way.
