Loving me....one day at the time!
Hello my name is Carol and I am an addict.
I have been addicted to many things in my life, alcohol, cigarettes, diet pills. Now, I am an addict to my ED. I want to get better and be happy with my DH. Tonite I will start seeing my therapist. I cannot stand to see my weight in the scale. Last time the only thing my husband said when he weighted me, was that my BF was normal. I have a lot of physical consequences from my ED one of them is disorganized eating, exercises and amenorrhea. I am seeing my new doctor tomorrow for the missing periods. And my therapist tonite. I surrender to God's will... I can not get better without His help. Please God allow me to get better. I will make my best effort to get better. ![]() |

That's a great first step. Your optimism is contagious! I've been reading your posts on the closet eater/binger thread on the PG and followed your link to this thread.
I hope you make great progress and find your way to health. And I love your siggie line, what a great way to think about it. I saw your myspace page a few days ago; it was really good and it feels like I know you already, just based on what you've written there. ![]() |

Thanks for stopping by my journal. I actually grew up in Fairfax, just a few miles outside of DC.
I am actually on a meat & eggs woe. I don't know a lot about it yet but am learning each day. I had a friend that made this woe her wol and has been very successful. With her guidance, my will, and the support of my friends here I can do this. My WOE says "modified" M&M because I do make custards that call for some heavy cream but thats about the only dairy I include. Taking the first step in getting help was a couragous one You can do this...just take one day at a time.

Hi everyone... After 4 years I was laid off from my job on Friday.
I am basically in shock, and with my health problems... Well... I am just trying not to stress eating .... I am just trying to take it easy... I will get another job, and I am sure that I will get my normal period restored. And loose the weight.... I have been putting on some weight. But it is ok.... I am not going to worry about that right now, just one thing at the time |

I never found my keys! But thanks God for Dennis my wonderful big man (he is 6', 190 #, but a baby inside), he lend me his car, I went to the dealer, the cut me a new one for 10 bucks.
For dinner I had a salad with cucumbers and 1/2 tomato, and turkey with creamy ceasar dressing. I baked flax seed bread for today and also had some meringue made with egg whites and torany sf syrup. I drank all my water and more, also had some seltzer, I think I drank more than 96 fl oz yesterday. Today my baby left really early and I am just not sleepy so I woke up early to check email. Breakfast: I had 1 piece of the bread (1 carb) 2 cups of coffee (2 carbs for the Splenda) and some Caldo Caldo is a soup from my country, my mom used to make. I miss my mom a lot but I guess is like the bible says, you get married and have a new family, I just wish my mom will come more often, but she is afraid to flight. Caldo is made like this (I guess it translates brouillon, but is not quite that): Brown a little bit of garlic and onion in a pot, till golden, then place the meat (I used beef ribs) and water to make the soup. Some people put potatos and other stuff in it, but not potatos are allowed now for me. Jicama works quite well too. Let it cook till the meat is tender, and cilantro is great for flavor, but the cilantro has to be cooked for the whole time with the meat. It is quite simple. I weighted my self this morning: 117.5 heheheh I know is just water weight but still is nice.Well , I will keep job hunting and keep going with my life. No interviews right now. But the break is so nice. |
