bordom certainly takes over

sometimes

strangely enough though (or maybe it's not so strange), chilling and doing nothing doesn't really make me bored. it takes a hell of a lot of sitting around to make me bored (or having no computer), that makes me angry and agitated

very anxious this afternoon.

this pizza place I'm ordering from only do chicken wings in 7, and when it comes to food, I need to have 8- no more and no less

so I am a bit anxious and shaking. ordering 14 is just as bad- then I have too much, I only need 8

Today begins my first day of the required food journaling in preparation for bariatric surgery.

An hour and a half after breakfast, which was duly logged, I find myself not hungry at all, but with an overwhelming urge to munch mindlessly. I am so far resisting that urge. In another hour and a half, or if I actually do get hungry, I'll snack, and I'll log the snack. But I'm training myself not to eat unless I do feel physically hungry.

Currently sipping water.

I've been eating healthy today. The past couple weeks were not good in terms of food, I binged on all kinds of junk food......at least I didn't
Possible trigger:


I've gained weight and am very frustrated with it. It makes me want to go in the opposite direction and restrict again but I know that will just result in a massive binge eventually and back into the stupid cycle.

Started doing yoga and drinking more water

yesterday I ordered takeout from the newly opened pizza place. it was nice, I had meat feast with chicken wings

after dinner I watched WWE main event (most of it was good, though I wasn't too kean on the last part)

discovered a new group yesterday called bts (and a new type of music, K-POP) which I think is awesome.

sleep didn't happen for me yesterday and nor did rest

chronic pain not letting up at all and back's really stiff

not much to do today... watch a bit of tv I missed last week (if I can be bothered), and cook something for dinner.

ffeel okay, just the pain sucks. it really, really sucks

yesterday I was listening to someone on blah therapy who had bipolar and she was telling me that no one understands her and she's sick of people judging her.

I told her I don't do that kind of thing and we got to talking about celebrities with bipolar and what an inspiration they were

she then asked me what my coping methods were and I told her I like to journal, to listen to music, and to watch cartoons.

she goes... you're 25 and you like cartoons?

and diss connected

so the fact I'm too old for cartoons is more important than being understood.... okay. personally I will always watch cartoons, no matter what anyone says.

I am feeling depressed today because.... well... it is a regular, boring day

and when I say regular and boring, it doesn't even cut it

their is nothing happening today. it's almost like this day wasn't meant to be in the calendar or something

^^Interesting. She's sick of being judged, and then turns right around and judges you.

I'm over twice your age and I like cartoons.

Continuing to food journal. It helps that my husband is also doing it, and we can remind each other. We're trying to be thorough. Yesterday was communion service at our church, so we even logged that. Anything at all that goes into our mouths.

Sounds good I'm retaking yoga classes next month. It helps me feel less stressed and that reflects on my food choices too. I've been overeating lately due to stress and lack of sleep

I didn't get enough sleep last night and I always end up overeating and feeling moody when I'm sleep deprived... (which often leads to more overeating because I struggle to cope with my emotions)
I ate my dinner too fast and now my stomach hurts. I hope tomorrow will be better

It is a better day for me today. Not as much pain as I had yesterday. Arthritis stinks..Getting the ice pack out soon. It helps some but pain keeps coming back. Took some diclofenic which I shouldn't take for health reasons. It helps though so I'm taking a few today.

I hope your day is a good one or was a good one.

Glad to hear you've been feeling a little better today I hope the diclofenic helps. It's so frustrating when some drugs help you with the symptoms you're experiencing, but they affect your health in other ways.
Today was better for me too. I'm still struggling with anxiety and overeating, but at least I'm not as tired as yesterday.

As the scale climbs lower, the stupid ED rejoices. OMG. I have the one side of me knowing I need to exercise less, eat more and gain weight (opposite what all the ads on TV and any women's magazine tells you), and the ED saying, "What?! That's nothing. You got so much thinner than that before." What the F* is wrong with me?!

Not that I miss my low weight. I'd never, ever go back there. It's not a life at all.

Stupid purging type (through exercise) anorexia has to be one of the easiest EDs to hide in plain sight.

Running too much, weight stable though. H can now work from home Tuesday/Thursday which has been nice for me and good for my marriage. 11 year olds get way too curious in that department. Enough said.
