Overcome my eating disorder. (read all 21 entries…)
Untitled 7 months ago

blah. blah. b-lah.

i’m really depressed. depression is the killer, for me it makes taking any positive steps virtually impossible.

so thats my next step – treat the depression.

ringing my dr for an appointment tomorrow. I’m so lucky and i have an angel of a gp. he’s incredible.

but this means i have to face up to what’s happening and face what i’ve become. i think thats the first and hardest hurdle – turning to face the destruction.

How did it go, MM?

That sounds like a very rational assesment of the problem and a really positive first step.

how did it go – it hasn’t! the day i finally rang to make an appointment (it’s a horrible thought to think of sitting in his office talking about this, actually facing up to it, so that was a huge step), well the very next day he was leaving for a month. so i’m booked in at the end of may.. a whole month more of.. eugh. of this.

it’s horrible :/

thanks for your, i dont know, your support i suppose.

did you say you’ve had food/eating issues?

Better times

I’m an overweight overeater. I was doing better a few months ago—not so much now. One of the more frustrating things for me is that it’s so difficult to get back to the healthy habits I thought were permanent so recently.

Today, though, I’m ready to take the same baby steps that worked for me last time, starting with Eat a salad (and one fruit) a day.

I think I could use a baby step or two that would put me in a better place emotionally as well, but I haven’t committed to anything in that realm.

I hope you’re finding some positive steps to take while you wait for your doctor’s appointment.

How are those baby steps going? I hope you’re having some success. After all the wonderful advice you’ve given me I wish I had some magic phrase to write to you. I don’t :] Just keep at it. We both know that with determination and persistence, no matter how big your falls, you CAN get where you want to be. Determination. Pig-headed persistence.

Don’t let it push you around again, you know you’re better than your bad eating habits. You’ve done it before now do it again. That’s what I’m doing.
All the best to you librarian :]

One foot in front of the other

Thanks, MM! The baby steps are working. It helped that I got sick one day in such a way that it was obvious my body wants more fruits and vegetables and whole grains than I’ve been giving it. It also helped that I worked three days last week—I do better when the only food I’ll eat is what I brought in my lunch sack. I may have to try that at home!
