I'm doing good today. I have been doing some of my hobbies and enjoying them. Art and listening to music helps me relax. I slept good last night. I was going to stay up all night but that's really a bad idea. I do that then I am a complete mess the next day. I know lack of sleep causes me to be more likely to binge or start getting obsessive about things cause I'm stressed

I just want to grrrr every time someone calls bariatric surgery "cheating" or "taking the easy way out." People think it's only a matter of making an appointment, going in to have the surgery, and then boom, you lose weight because now you *can't* overeat. There is so much more involved than that. Surgery drastically alters the digestive system. The process involves months and months of preparation beforehand, and a lifetime of different habits afterward.
Anyone who jeers at it, and doesn't think it's as honorable as losing weight without medical assistance, is welcome to go through that process. Schedule not just one, but many appointments, with a whole team of professionals including psychologists and nutritionists and nurses and social workers along with the surgical team. If you don't live in a big city, expect to drive at least an hour to every single one of those appointments. Do the pre-op diet. Then spend the rest of your life eating like a bird, after having practiced for months how to do it. Take specially formulated vitamin pills because to get the same amount of nutrients out of regular ones, you'd fill your walnut-sized pouch of a stomach up too much, and it doesn't leave you any room to eat food. And all of this is besides the actual surgery. Live through all of the before, during, and after. Then tell me how easy it is. |

all the snow's melted today.
I must say, I am a little disappointed, because I was hoping it would last a little longer (I love the snow) it feels like a summer day today with all the sun and the briteness. I don't like it. not really anything that needs doing today so guess I'm just going to chill still feel about as blah as yesterday |

If I could just stop the stupid overexercise...not even a fractured toe is stopping me. I guess after having surgery for a perforated ulcer (truly, I didn't know a person could even feel that much pain & still be alive), my pain sometimes seems relative, especially when it comes to my overexercising. Running with blisters on my toes, bleeding toes, bleeding under the toenails, toenails falling off, all that seems relatively minor in comparison to this fractured toe. I broke it in a different location too, one I don't put as much weight/stress on while walking or running. My weight itself is stable, but I've gotten very lean from running so much. I wish I could just take a break.
I need to get rid of the scale. My first (and longest/best) recovery period, I took my scale and ran over it again and again with the car (thankfully, I lived in the country and not a housing subdivision as I do now). I don't know what the neighbors would think. They'd probably be calling the cops, thinking something crazy was going on here or that I just couldn't even park straight in front of my own garage. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, , propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, omeperazole I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. --Robert Frost |

I have an ad on a dating site and I just let a guy have it. He was nasty to me about what I look like saying no one would want me. I told him off and it felt damn good, too. I'm tired of guys treating me bad!!

Same here... I've been feeling overwhelmed lately and I've been stuffing my emotions with food. I'm going through something difficult right now in my personal life, and I need to be extra careful not to fall back into old habits

I bought a book by Geneen Roth today (Women, Food, and God) she has a lot of good books related to issues with eating (overeating, restricting, anything) I saw it at a local used bookstore, I've read it before and liked it so I thought I'd get a copy for myself. It was only $2. Hardcover in perfect condition!

Two guys were mean to me there yesterday and I told them both what I thought. I deactivated my facebook account as I was using it compulsively and that's what caused me so much pain from typing on there. I feel better now that I won't use it until I can do it normally. What is normal anymore? It seems I do so many things compulsively. Thank you Blue Bird.

Slept late today. I deactivated my facebook account this morning. I belong to lots of groups on there and was posting every time I got a notice of new posts. Compulsive posting! I felt the only way to stop was to get away from there until my neck is feeling better. One group will probably be mad with me but I can't help that. I did what I did to help my pain.
