I've been trapped at Simon's house practically all day because of a broken car battery. Did I mention that there is about one vegetable in this whole house? Sticking to my designated eating plan was totally impossible. The shop is absolutely miles away. The stress of imagining my counsellor reading my "what I ate" and seeing a blank page killed me and I'm ashamed to say I took it out on the boy with the broken car. He didn't help matters and soon we were stubbornly ignoring each other. Quite difficult when you consider we were in the same room.
So by the time the car was drivable again, my whole meal plan for the day was out the window; the sun had gone down long ago and 10pm was approaching fast.
4 slices of fruit toast, a cheese twist, a cup of tea and a copious amount of diet orangeade (and a purge) later, my recovery "eating sheet" for the day is looking even worse.
My mother called and I spent about ten minutes lying and telling her that me not being home was nothing to do with her. Another two slices of toast and three more cups of tea later, I still feel like a lying snake (i.e without a backbone). I just couldn't deal with another argument from her.
I called the college I attended last year and the admissions lady said she would set up a meeting with the headteacher but that they had turned away hundreds of people who wanted to continue to A2 this September already so not to get my hopes up. Shit. More pressure as the plans crumble.
I also read some girly magazines in an attempt at feminity since I have spent the most recent days reading World War Z (zombie survival book), watching the Die Hards and playing with Simon's toy guns when he's not looking. Well surprise, surprise, I think I'll be sticking to my "scifi boyish" phase because every other article is about "so and so's dramatic weight loss/gain/eating problem" and "lose xlbs in x days; it really works!". This one article says you can lose 7 inches in as many days and drop a dress size. I can't help but wonder where these inches are coming from. 7 inches from my waist would leave me at 19inches which is smaller than a double zero. So are these collective inches? And if so, which parts and how many places are they coming off? 2 from the breasts, 2 from the waist, 2 from the hips and one from the thighs? The more places on the list, the less actual loss of size. Specifics requested :/
I want to do this diet, I only have a stone and 3 pounds to lose. But then again, if I'm beginning the recovery trek then soon I'll be trying to stop wanting to lose weight and maybe I should try to stop now? And the eating plan I'll try to start tomorrow when I stick things out at home is no more than 800 calories a day; so maybe this deficiency will cause binges rather than prevent them? And what about exercise, at home I have dumbells and I can actually work out, not to mention walk the dog. But then again, that is another way for me to lose weight and burn off the calories in my prescribed "plan". So maybe it's as unhealthy to lose weight that way?
Oh dear. Today has been a bad day for recovery. Yes, indeed.

I think 800 wil only make you binge/purge even more tbh. Trust me lol!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the starting recovery, they'll most likely focus on your relationships in your life and possibly not entirely on food, however, I dunno, I'mjust talking from the experience that I've had.
