Q: Eating Disorder Girl Diary 1

Today is my day. yesterday I was feeling energized too. As I wrote I have let my ED go. I have admitted I am not normall (whatever this may mean in connection to meals) and stopped the struggle.

My only principle is : ED shall not make me purge or take laxatives any more.

Now I feel free of tension, and guess, notice my situation is not as dramatic as I suggested. I was afraid to starve myself to death, but guess, I was out yeasterday and I had icecreme cocktail and a salad. My friend ate ,so would I seat there just watching?!
this forum helps me to realize that I am not doing as bad as I expected

Wink my advice: let the stress from ED go. If u are ED, so it is. just dont kill yourself with purgeing and laxatives. if u never eat go out, learn cooking for ur family and friends. If u r going to binge, binge healthiest food and enjoy the taste, couse u r not going to purge/laxative, beacause this food is good for ur body.

Re: Ed Girl Diary 1
Today is my day again Smile

yesterday , at night, while watching a movie my friend suggested have a bar of chocolate. I brought it from the kitchen but at first refused to have a portion of it, myself following my inner anorexic voice. later I shared a portion with my friend.

I am somewhat loosing weight, but I am not starving myself as u see, yesterday I had salad and musli yougurt as well. Thus I am in moderation/

Idea let the tension go. u can not do much about ur anorexia or bulimia. let the distructive ideas flow their own way, but u yourself manage ur day in ur own way, which is making clever decisions.

Re: Ed Girl Diary 1
Today is my day again Smile

I am happy to have my life back, in particular the feeling of the purpose, why I am here and what I want to accomlish in life, and believe me counting calories and food thinking is the least I want to devote my life to.
I believe that all of u in the forum are challenged with better and are intelligent----people suffering from ED are never ingnorant!!!

Idea U deserve the better life, let the tension of Bulimia/Anorexia go and do what u wonna do in life today, right now, whatever ur size and the picture in the mirrow may be!!!

Hi Voodoocita,

thank u for nice words. I am glad to hear that the diary is a help to smone. i mean everyone from our community Smile can write down hier her day experiencies. yes it is helpful to write about the day, everyday we learn smth and we could share the advices.

I am doing better but i am not recovered Sad. U know, I think it is a misleading thing to believe life is just beautiful and joy and etc. life is so in a few ways, but overall it is hard, and u have to be harder to get through. noone loves to remember this but this is the way it works out.

Hello dear friends.

I was just thinking, how distracting an ed can be in relation to personal growth, it cost so much time, I have a guilt feeling.

I have spent so much time on ED and am still spending.

On the other hand, -------------may ed be a get away from reall tasks, a rescue from ur dreams, that are great and beautiful?

Hi friends,

I believe i have figured out a great point for my eating plan. this is not eating after 6 pm. few days ago i have binged at the lunch time, so to balance i ommited the dinner, and i felt great the next day.

I am the one who chooses to be original so a grandmother recipe for beauty : leave ur late dinner for ur enemy -had not convinced me in my teens. during my anorexia, i used to go without eating all day and had some fruit before going to bed. Now have discovered this principle for myself.


Idea it is hard to get used to -no meal after 6 pm ,- but it is the best thing u can do for urself if u tend to loose ur control while eating and during emotional eating. evenings are most dangerous for these reasons.

Now since i know it is good i shall try to follow it Smile i hope it works for me.


cheers
