prevention

day 2

comfyshoes's picture

Did good yesterday, it's helping that mark wants to make over his body too. We are trying out the low-carb diet that worked so well for me a while ago and there is seriously nothing bad in the house. If I binged, it would probably be on peanut butter and I don't really want to do that because I eat it so much on a regular basis anyway. Feel good and I hope I can keep this up!

slowing down, now im back

the first week of school is over and things are slowing down. i should be updating regularly again. I've been slipping lately and denying it to my roommate. Didn't realize how much it helped to post it in a weblog before.
Lately the trigger has been being left alone, which is kind of odd, because normally I am a loner and prefer to be by myself. Now, whenever mark leaves the apartment, I feel empty and completely alone. It's hard to make friends here in college, people had their little groups found on day 1, very different from what orientation was like.

day 1

I managed to go yesterday without throwing up and feel a little better already. Hopefully today will go just as well.

dang, 12 days

awesome awesome awesome. My roommate and I have decided that yesterday was our last day of eating junk food here and there and to start anew today and be good. Maybe it will be easier with another one trying to eat well in the house. We have gone grocery shopping together and there is no junk food whatsoever in the kitchen, unless you count tootsie pops.

so far so good!

I now have wifi in my apartment! I'm so happy to be connected again. Now I can resume watching True Blood, im so excited. I have been plenty occupied since I have moved in and so far, no throwing up. Even though we have eaten out a couple of times and don't have access to a gym, the thought has only briefly crossed my mind. I will start updating regularly again and will hopefully be on the way to healthy weight loss.

sorry guys

i am doing good so far, but there is no wifi in my apartment until wednesday. I will start updating then. I haven't given in to stress and im eating healthy!

day 4, i believe

comfyshoes's picture

I am doing better than i thought with this move. I have behaved in both my eating and throwing up. Though, when my mom took me clothes shopping the other day, i hated the way my body looked so much, i wanted to rip at it with my bare hands. It did help me to keep on a good eating streak, but it was still nerve wracking. I am moving in to my apartment today! I am so excited, only 2 hours to go!

day2

acid reflux is getting much better, so ignore my previous question. Hopefully it will be gone pretty soon.
Im leaving the nest tomorrow! Driving down to get all set up and then be ready to move into my apartment by monday. Hopefully there will be minimal stress, but, as a lifelong military child, i know that there is always stress present in a move. Im going to try my best to behave myself.

another day

i think i really did myself in that last time, the acid reflux is still here. Do I need to be seeing a doctor, or should i wait a little longer to see if it goes away?

Purging by self induced vomiting can expel some calories, however around 1,200 are retained by the body (Kaye et al.,1993).

firestorm » dark_blue ...I've been reading it and it's very good. Very. Something I'm forcing myself to do is just TALK. When I clam up bad things happen and I get worse, and end up hurting myself and inadvertently those I love. I'm fucking sick and tired of doing this. AH. MAKE THIS STOP. But I know that this is *my* battle. Only *I* can fight this battle. So. Here goes. Love you love you love youuuu! Rants are very worth it. =D <3 Hang tough warrior! 1 hour ago

firestorm » dark_blue ...I hate my new therapist. HATE. And I'm so anxious all the time, so I feel like I'm under a milllllion bricks and totally overwhelmed. I'm failing most of my classes, now, which just makes it worse. Idk, something here needs to change. I fell asleep on the couch in my Major's office this morning as he was typing some work, and it's the most comfortable I've felt in a while. But then someone walked past the open door and scared the shit outta me. You know, I think we both need to rant to each other on a daily basis... Look up that book!! .... 1 hour ago

firestorm » dark_blue Aww, my lovely, I'm sorry to hear that. Sadly we both had shitty days. I'm back at day 1 after 15 clean days, I also tore up my leg. No stitches, so thats something. I can't sleep in my bed anymore (kinda scared, I think, of beds...) and I'm terrified of the dark and of open doors at my back. =\ I'm going to m psychiatrist on weds, hopefully he can get me on some good meds for sleep and the anxiety. But unfortunately my Major and Sergeant tell my that the flashbacks just need time and therapy, neither of which I feel like I have right now.... 1 hour ago

What I learned during recovery

mmb's picture

PLAN, PLAN, PLAN IN ADVANCE. Plan what you are going to eat during your day. What are you going to do if you are in a situation that triggers b/p. Thinking all the time about recovery is part of the eating disorder. I need to focus on the real life instead. Don’t trust yourself. If I know I always binge during an X situation (like being alone at home around 5pm), I need to go out at that time or find another activity. I am not strong enough to just be at home by myself and act normally. If I eat those cookies because I am feeling lonely they won’t make my friends appear. Trust yourself, and your body. Tell yourself you are able to do it. Tell yourself that you are not going to gain one pound because you ate a piece of cheesecake. God is an important part of my recovery If I eat tons of food, all the time, I will gain weight. I can’t have cheesecake and hamburger and fries everyday, in every meal, but I can have them once in a while. I purge not only because of my emotions, but it is an easy way to control my weight. I love food.
