Hello, everyone! Sorry I went MIA. I was in New Orleans for the long weekend. Talk about a city that celebrates overindulgence (or at least a tourism industry that promotes it). My plan for the weekend was to share desserts and stop eating when full. I did well on both accounts and came home weighing the same as when I left! Which is strange, because just the richness and sodium of restaurant food, plus alcohol, should have showed up as a few days worth of bloat. But I won't look that gift horse in the mouth!
Mak, it sounds like you are learning
a lot and gaining so much strength from it! Congratulations -- it is wonderful to read about how great you feel!
Ilovevegetables, much better to overeat seafood than cheesecake.
Like you said, back on the wagon. You can do it!
Tyla, the boots are a perfect reward for a job well done! Wear them with pride!
Sum38, it sounds like you are back in a good place. I truly believe that getting back on the wagon quickly and cleanly is the best skill we can learn!
Mainecyn,
I can't remember if you've said that you've tried one-on-one therapy. We are here to support you 100%, but it sounds like you might benefit from guidance from a professional experienced in eating disorders.
(I don't mean to single you out -- I'm sure we could
all benefit from that, but it sounds like you're in a low place and I am sad for you!)
