hellooo

Hello =)

Ok so I woke up several times in the night feeling so sick I had to run to the loo. I wasn't sick, thank god. But I didnt binge yesterday-why am I feeling ill for eating 'normally'???

I woke up this morning with bad stomach pains still feeling sick, I went to tie my hair up before my shower, and lost 4 handfulls of hair. WHAT?! It put me in such a bad mood-but I remembered my promise to myself yesterday - I will make today a better day than yesterday, so I did, I met some friends for lunch, did some shopping, walked in the sunshine, and Im back home chilling for a few hours before going safe food shopping =) I'm ok today. I did eat 2 icecreams when I got home, but for me, thats not a binge, so I'm guna forget it, and keep going strong

=P

My Story

Ok-requested by Amy (another gorgeous friend I've met on my journey) A blog about my story. This is a tough one.

Always painfully shy, insecure, and clingy with my mum. I witnessed a lot of violence as a child, and was on the receiving end of it often. Please dont think I mean my dad-my dad has never been violent.
I was scared to leave my mums side incase she got hurt. As young as 5 or 6 I felt like her protector.
My dad was, and still is, an alcholic.
When I was 5, one of my little brothers died. I remember scratching at my finger, making a 'chicken scratch'...nothing hurt emotionally if something hurt physically. That was a slippery slope. Where I got the idea from, I will never know.

At primary school, my 1st memory is of me standing in a line with all the other kids waiting to get our drawings marked by our teacher. I was holding my book, open, over my tummy, convinced I was fat and disgusting. I remember it so well-conciously hiding my body even at that age. I wasnt fat. I was just a normal 6 year old.

All through school I felt like the odd one out. My disordered eating started very young. I was convinced I was fat, so I would throw my lunch away, throw it under the table (an 8 year old isnt that subtle) and do anything to avoid eating it. It was either that, or it went the other way conmpletely. I would be so hungry from not eating, that I felt like I needed all the food in the world. What I had in my lunch box never seemed enough. I went out of class to the cloakroom plenty of time to 'get my pencil' and would steal food out of other childrens lunch boxes. It is shameful looking back, but I was a child, I knew it was wrong, but I needed that food.

I started getting teased. Nothing serious. I was about 9 or 10 and a boy in my class started calling my fat, every day-day in day out 'You're fat' <
My the time I went to secondary school, I was bigger than average, still not 'fat' but definately bigger. And I was concious of it every second of every day. Kids in secondary school can be nasty. I was called fat often-by various different people, I wasnt bullied as such, just name calling and one incident a girl pulled my hair as I was walking home and yep-called me fat-you guessed it.
I was constantly insecure about every part of myself, I started cutting myself age 14. It turned into something I could control, my secret that no one would ever know about. A few times people did notice, but nothing was said. I started cutting daily. I started having panic attacks in crowded places, I refused to do PE because I was sooo uncomfortable with my body the thought of getting changed even terrified me to tears. I had a panic attack in PE once, and never did it again after that. Assemblies were another thing-I had panic attacks in about 5 assemblies before my mum agreed to write a note excusing me from them. Exams-were just as bad, sat silently in a busy hall-I had to be seated at the back, and go against the rules of alphebetical order, I couldnt have anyone sit behind me, the anxiety was too intense.

I got sent to a therapist about my anxiety. It didnt help. All that helped was avoiding the triggering situations.

I left my school after my GCSE's and went to a college, I got very depressed very quickly-I had left behind my routine, and everything I knew, so I begged my school to take me in to their 6th form, they eventually agreed even though I was already 5 weeks behind by now.
6th form was ok, I ended up dropping out of 2 of my 4 subjects, I couldnt take the pressure. I ended up doing just french and psychology. I decided I wanted to work with mental health-yeh, laughable now really isnt it? I wanted to do mental health nursing, councilling, or social work. Of course with only 2 A Levels, I didnt have to grades to get into University.
I left 6th form, and looking back-I was definately depressed, although no one picked up on it. I was jobless, and out of education, while all my friends were going off to Uni and starting their lifes, I just felt stuck. I gained weight. A lot of weight.

2 years of being jobless and depressed, I finally found a job in a care home-I am still there now. (I hate change so much) I also got myself in to an awful relationship, which I was stuck in un until about 4 weeks ago, but I'll get to that...
The relationship messed me up in every way possible. I cant even bare to go into details, but he abused me in every way possible except physically-he was never violent to me. But I often think that would have has less long term damage. I was controlled beyond belief. He was much older than me and knew exactly what he was doing. I did anything he said. Getting up out of bed at 4am while its tipping with rain to meet him and waiting an hour til he actually showed up-just so he could have sex with me, then he was off...thats if he turned up at all. It really was awful I cant even explain.
Myself esteem was zero. I started startving myself. I mean, literally startving. I ate nothing solid for 6 months. I lost 7 stone. People were praising me, saying how good I looked...


I finally felt a bit better about myself, although the relationship went on damaging me, I was doing ok. I stopped self harming, I stopped starving, I ate sensibly, I was going out with friends, went on my 1st holiday with friends, havin a pretty good time compared to previous years.

This next bit is hard. I fell pregnant. My baby girl died in dec 09. My world fell apart. I didnt get out of bed for weeks at a time, I didnt shower, I wasnt in work, I didnt speak to anybody, I either starved, or binged. I was refered to therapy-but had a 9month wait. In that time, I put on 9stone in weight, was self harming, was put on antidepressents, was abusing prescription pain killers to a dangerous level, and was binging daily. Sometimes I purged, often I took laxetives, sometimes I would restrict, sometimes chew and spit-but more often it was binging. I didnt care how fat I was getting. I didnt care about anything honestly.

So thats my story of how I got here. I have been in therapy just over a year-the woman has helped save my life. Literally. I have stopped alot of my destructive behaviours completely, but the eating disorder remains, as strong as ever.

Thats my battle.
Gosh that was hard lol

Check this out its beautiful. This captures what ED and depression is to me.

Thanks Jaycee for showing me this =)

51 ?!

Hmm...number 51 of my 100 things about me has vanished...I think it was like I love my friends or something?

=/ ok so anyway today I have STRUGGLED. My god. This is what I hate. Days like this.

Its so frustrating. I want to get better NOT be like this!!! It started when my sister left yesterday. I managed to distract myself all evening-I did lots of art, started learning 'Le Onde' on the piano =) (inspired by one of my gorgeous BFF's Jaycee) Check her out btw shes such an amazing person and has helped me so much its untrue >> and yea, I was doing well keeping busy-but today URGHH

I woke up and cried. I dont even know why. But I let it be, I sat with the feelings as my therapist has taught me-but it didnt go away. I cant even put into words the feeling of what its like to be like that-just hopeless and alone and weak and tiredness that just consumes you. Its bloody horrible. Its like depression just wraps itself around your soul and wont let go.



Im trying not to see today as a failure, but a 'blip' that I can learn from. I was trying desperately to go to the gym, but I just didnt have it in me. I wrote 7 letters to some of my fabulous friends I've met while on this journey through depression and eatin issues-which helped but only for an hour or so. I napped cuz I was exhausted physically and mentally-i wasnt even sleeping to block anything out this time, so maybe thats not a fail blip? Maybe thats what normal people do when they are tired? Urgh Im over analysing.

Anyway, lets just say, today wasnt great-BUT tomorrow can only be better, right? =) Im meeting Donna and Katie for shopping, oh and its PAYDAY!!! Im guna pay off my holiday to Mexicooo and buy me and my mum tickets to see ghost the musical for her bday present =)Im guna buy ONE new outfit, not 20 (lol), buy some MAC foundation cuz mines gonezo, and go to TESCO (i actually love tesco) to buy my safe foods. Soup, fruit, tinned veg, salads, pasta, soya milk, low cal hot choc, skinny latte's, natural yoghurt, dried fruit. OOh I can almost feel the relief already. I have had no money for 3 weeks, maybe a bit longer, so I have been living on unsafe foods which has made my binging tonnes worse/makes me not wana go gym/makes me feel awful.

Tomorrow I'll be ok. Im guna make sure of it.
Lovee

Comfortttt time

So today I had to say goodbye to my sister and nephew. They have been staying for the past week. I love them so much and I hate to say goodbye. I had £3 in my bag-literally thats IT til payday-and I found myself in Tesco's just after waving them off. The feeling of comfort and relief really hit me-just being near food. Knowing I had only £3 was an issue, but just being there was euphoric almost. Im definately wrong in the head.

I spent the money of course

:(

Daah make me happy

Im really struggling recently. Its sooo frustrating. Feel like Im going backwards :( I DONT want to leave therapy. I just dont want to. Im not ready to be on my own, especially as Im doing badly at coping at the moment. I get emotional over the smallest thing. Therapy is basically the only place I cry. When Im not in that room, in that safe place, with that safe person, I cant seem to cry. Which is annoying cuz I want to-I NEED to!!! But I know this will pass. This is just a bad few weeks, I am so determined to get over this. And live my life depression free. Its just not easy.

=|

Ooookay. Deep breath. This is what happened today. and im not using capital letters or proper punctuation or spellcheck or any of that stuff from now on in this blog cuz im purely too lazy. sorry.

So yesterday was a bad day. i woke up and just had nothing to say. i was just sad and wanted to be alone. but i had a session with my therapist in the afternoon, which attending in that mood, was very difficult. i truely feel so awful for wasting her time. shes amazing at her job and i truely try not to think negatively, but if i wasnt sat there silently crying, not even knowing why i was crying, she could be helping someone else. ANNNYWAYYY...we pretty much concluded that since i was rerefered to her, things are infact seeming to get worse. the things left worth discussing and going into are too raw and im just not ready to go there. iv tried. but its put me back a few steps. i need to catch up again-get to the place i was a few months back and just let it be for a while-enjoy the fact i was having good days-not bein angry at myself that not every day is a good day.

Im sad. I wanted her to come on my whole jouney of recovery with me. Feel like we were a little team. but she cant come with me. and that hurts cuz i trust her so much more than i trust anyone else.

Ok I have to stop there cuz im gettin all emotional again :\ kk TODAY!!!.....................

SO i spent the day with my dad brother sis and nephew at a theme park. It was a fab day really, i love it when my sis and bendy are down :)
Had a few little issues. I convinced myself i was too fat for the rides. infact, im still convinced i am. so i only went on 2. Which made me saaad cuz i LOVEEE rides!!!!! but mer. the other issue was lunch. i didnt wana eat. but i had to. my family arent aware of my ed. well, my sister is, but the others arent. so having my stomach full of veggie wrap and chips wasnt the best feeling :\

Anyway, i left early, cuz i had to go to this recovery group - sooo it took me 2 hours 20 mins to find this place. I was already tired [i slept 4 hours last night, and im no good unless i have 11hours lol] and was wet and uncomfortable from the rain and water rides...but i WENT!!! i was so anxious, but i sat though it.

Theres no nice way to put it-this place is for the seriously insane. Before I even took 3 steps onto the grounds i had a marriage proposal from a man i presume was mad.

So anyway i ring the bell at 'building 4'. Nothing. I go round the other side and ring the intercom. Some woman tells me to go through the door to the left. I thank her and then realise-there is no door to the left, you idiot. So i rang it again, and she came out-full of attitude, looked at me like i was an escapee or something, and told me to go to the ED unit. She was so rude. I can now see why patients have been known to attack staff. that bitch. aheeem. ok anyways...

So i go to the ED unit. Notice a bunch on anorexics looking at me through the window as i walk past. TRIGGER. 'i dont have an EATING DISORDER' - 'im not worthy of being here getting help' - 'i cant have an ED unless i look like them' - 'seeing me must be their worst nightmare' ooh gosh-the negative thoughts kept coming.

The nurse told me there was no group and she didnt know what i was talking about.

So i went to the front gate-and spoke to the security guard. he said he would take me to 'room 70, building 4'. Only, when we got there, it was an empty room. Yes. An empty room. So he apologised and sent me home.

Firstly - 2 AND A HALF HOUUUUURS I TRAVELLED!!! battling off a panic attack :\
Secondly - I left feeling a million times worse than when i went in. Anxious, angry, let down, stupid, degraded by that rude nurse urgh...

So yes. I have calmed down a bit now :) luckily. I really have no idea what happened. I called the woman running the group and got voicemail, so i will email her tomorrow. Someone remind me why I bother?! it shouldnt be this difficult to go to a SUPPORT group should it???

D: sorryyy needed to rant lol
Lovvvve xxx mwah

Im trying. Im trying so fucking hard but Im not getting far at all.

I had therapy today. Thought I was guna be ok but I wasnt. I cried most the way through. I cant stand feeling so lost and alone. I just want a cuddle. I want someone to protect me. I hate crying in sessions, my brain switches off then I cant think or speak and I end up wasting the poor womans time and going home feeling worse than I went in. I know it has helped, I know it has, cuz before I started therapy I was an absolute mess of a person. I was in a damaging relationship, abusing prescription pain killers, stuggling with ED and anxiety. At least some of that is fixed. Maybe I should be greatful for that and stop striving to be completely 'recovered'.

Im exhausted.

Mini Break =)

I just spent a weekend with Ruth and Jaycee - 2 fabulous, inspirational girls I met via youtube/twitter.

It was so lovely to not feel judged for my ED. Not have to hide it, and just be completely myself around other people, people who just understood.

Im not guna say I didnt struggle. Of course I did. It was evident that although we all suffered very similarly with our ED's, that I was definately the 'odd one out' so to speak. I dont mean that in a bad way at all, but although we have alot of the same thought processes, and even certain behaviours, it was clear my ED is definately very different from theirs. I found that hard in a way. And confusing in terms of my own diagnosis. I truely dont know what ED i have. And I dont like that. I feel I need to put a name to it. I related so much, I had an AMAZING time and I felt so at home, like I had known them both for years.

I also have to be proud for the fact that I actually overcame so many anxieties and fears all at once; travelling alone, staying away from home, meeting new people, being open about my ED and my story, all while being completely myself and not wearing my usual mask.

I feel in a way that the fight is beginnning to be worth the pain and struggle, for many reasons; the amazing people I have met and know I will be friends with forever, for teaching me to appreciate the good in the tiniest of things and achievements, for making me strong and determined, even when its hard to be...I feel like maybe fate has something to do with all this, and one day, I will look back and I wouldnt want to change a thing because I will be happy with the person it has shaped me in to.

Recovery is tough

I want recovery more than anything. But sometimes relapse is easier. Maybe its why I do it so much.

Yesterday I was an absolute state. I ate so much. 1/2 jar of peanut butter, beans and veggie sausages, 2 share bags of chocolate buttons, a big bar of chocolate, 2 packets of crisps, 2 whole packets of biscuits...guess it would add up to about 20 biscuits? Maybe even more. I just felt all hope melt away.

This morning I woke up not sure what to do. Restrict? Or try, yet again, to eat binge free. I had a tin of fruit and a yoghurt. I didnt binge. I dont know why or how I did it. I went to my CBT.

Last week after my session, I went straight to asda for healthy foods, and ended up on a huge binge. Today I wanted to prove to myself that I can go shopping without buying for a binge. Sure, it was a massive risk, but it paid off. I bought some fruit for the week, and no binge food at all. *Proud*

Ok so, its early in the day, only just gone 2pm, but I havent binged yet and I have no plans to do so yet. So I need to see that as an achievement. And I do see that as an achievement. I just has some raspberries and fromage frais...At 3.30 Im planning a late lunch, I need to decide what Im guna eat...then Im going to the doctor, then the gym...

Thats the plan, and for now, Im quite determined to stick to it. =)

Sunday, 12 June 2011

can't do this any more. it always wins.

Saturday, 11 June 2011

:)

I did it!!! I completed day 1!!! Im so proud of myself right now :)

Another day 1

Hello
I am back on Cambridge, and food is the last thing I want. I want to lose weight, to be healthy, happy, and in control I want to feel pretty. My 2 week binge has gained me 11lb. I can see every single one of those lb. Stuck to my face, my tummy, my legs...I want them GONE again :)

Ok so, cambridge shouldnt be done if you have an ED. I can see why...but what choice do I have?? Even 2 weeks ago, 11lb lighter, I was infinately happier than I am now. Soo mm yeh, thats my thoughts at the moment. But I know myself well enough to know they change very quickly. Maybe in 20mins I will be telling myself I can eat healthy if I just try. Note to self - I can't

The first 4 days are the worst on this diet. Physically, and mentally. Physically, I will be hungry [duh], tired, dizzy, irritated, tummy pains, headache, u name it...
Mentally, my head wil be all over the place...

But no pain no gain, right? Or in this case, no pain, no loss. Its not like I'm doing this as an average weight girl. I need to lose STONES. Realistically, 9 stone. Even then I will be classified as over weight. But I was that weight once before, and happy with it. So thats my aim. 9 stone. Thats disgusting isnt it. How did I let this happen =\

The plan is, now I have 4 days off...

-Sleep in AS LATE AS POSSIBLE!!! [I slept til 1pm today] that way, you can wait til 3 to have your first shake, and u wont be so hungry.

-Drink loads - Helps reduce hunger, and cuz Im off work, going to the loo every 5 minutes isnt a problem. Haha.

-Sleep off any side effects. The side effects can be unbareable-which is why I often give in at some point in the 1st 4 days. Bein at home will help-I can just have a nap. I know napping is a no go for me, but for the next 4 days, it is guna be a life saver.

-7up Zero. I personally cant stand fizzy drinks, I hate them, but again, no pain, no gain, the bubbles will fill me up, won't effect weightloss or ketosis. Win.


-Um...Blog blog blog?? Distract myself by blogging and twitter!!! Er...yeah ;)

I can do it, I can do it! I gained 11 stone after my diagnosis of depression. I have lost 2 of them on this diet already...Just gota stay strong. Depression won't rule my life forever

Thursday, 9 June 2011

A new day

Its useless worrying about my binge yesterday. It wont change. It happened. I should learn from it.

Today Im guna start my diet again. I weighed myself. I have put on 8lb in just over 2 weeks. If I stick at it, that could be gone in a week. Just gota be strong :) Im not guna let ED win today. Yesterday it was just easier to give in and let it win, but not today. Im guna stay strong. I know what I need to do.

Its the constant ups and downs that are exhausting. If Im 'up' Im always aware that the 'down' could hit at any time. But I will get there. I will beat ED and I will beat depression.

Merr

Hey
I dont like the word fail. But i failed. I restricted til 8pm soo sure I could make it through the day, then. BAM. ED took control. I cried at work. Just cried and cried cuz I knew wat was guna happen when I got home. I just ate a bag of crisps, 2 mini pringle tubes, a 12 pack of cookies, and a biggg share bar of cadbury fruit and nut. The worst thing is..I feel like I havent even eaten a thing. I wana go downstairs and make toast, and cereal. Mmm. And theres cheese in the fridge, and popcorn in my cupboard. Or I could make pasta. Or cook some veggie sausages and make a sausage sandwich...

Oh my god. Help me? Someone?

Things to make me smile :)








Hello <3
Hm...I dont think anybody reads my blog...lol so I guess hello to..myself?...
Thats ok. Im not sure I would like people reading it anyway :)
Me Myself & I

Well, Im getting ready for work. And I'm so determined to stick to Cambridge 100% today. I have got my fanta zero, sprite zero and 7up free. Urgh, I hate fizzy drinks, but they fill me up when hunger sets in, so I will have to suffer it for now.

No pain no gain.

Im guna have a good day. I am!

SorrRy!!

Okkkkay look, I dont want ANYONE thinkin this is a pro-ED blog. ITS NOT. It couldnt be further from it. But I have Binge Eating Disorder, and struggle with my thoughts surrounding eating and food a lot. They go one way, then the other.

I will be 100% honest in this blog. Vent when I need to, share good days and bad. This is part of my recovery.

I am PRO RECOVERY ALL THE WAY!!! Anyone suffering ANY kind of ED, depression, anxiety...we can and WILL get there!! Stay strong, keep ur head in the game

<3 <3 <3

ED beats me once again

Look, Im sorry about the language, i don't swear often - but FUUUCK!!! What the fuck has happened to me today??? Of course - the chocolate buttons didnt last 10 mins after I had finished my last blog. 145g chocolate gone in minutes. Its sick. Then a huge bag of quavers. Then some things I have forgotton...but I know there was more.

My friend called me 20mins ago
'are u eating tonight?'
'yeah'

As soon as I was off the phone it all just happened too quickly for me to control. I cooked a whole pack of roast pepper pasta, 700kcal in JUST that. Then I add mayo 5 cheese slices, and sweetcorn, just to make it even more full of fat and calories. I feel so sick. I ate it so quickly. I fucking hate myself right now. I can feel the fat sticking to my insides its awful...and yes...I plan on eating another meal in 35 minutes when I meet my friends. Fuck sake. This is too much. Im so huge I have so much weight to lose, but instead of doing something about it, I skip the gym and binge like a heffer all day. Yeh, that makes sense doesn't it. How can I not hate myself right now? Seriously? If I wasnt going out tonight I would be curled up in bed crying my eyes out. But instead, Im preparing for another meal.

Wish someone could help me...its evident I can't help myself when it comes to this.
</3
My blog will have milions of pictures. Sorry about that. Photography is my life <3 pictures make me so happy lol.

Headacheyyy =(

My head is all over the place today. I did well at breakfast, I had strawberries and cherries. Then I got an awful headache. I was so motivated to go to the gym today, but my head hurt so much. The noise of the TV was even killing me so I had to turn it off. This is happening more and more often. I think I need to get my eyes tested. 8) <ha..thats meant to be me wearing glasses..Or maybe I need to stop messing around with my med doses.

Anyway, I toyed with the idea of restricting. Then I binged. Maybe the thought of restricting was a trigger? I don't know. I decided to go to the gym anyway, to make up for the binge. I got on all my gym clothes, but my head pains got worse, so I decided - RESTRICITNG IS THE WAY TODAY!!! <<my heads an absolute mess isnt it lol =S no wonder its hurting, all of this shit twirling round in it!!! Rationally, I know restricitng will fail, and will make me feel more ill, make my headache worse...but I'm scared to 'allow' myself to eat.

I have a giant share bag of chocolate buttons right next to me. I know I wont be able to resist them all day. I know i won't. So why do I do it to myself? I know I should distract myself, go out or whatever, but Im in so much pain =\ argh, annoying much!!! I was meant to be seeing J, but I just called and he got called to a job, so I can't even go to his. I am going out later with Micky Ruth and John...some of the amazing people I met on this stress course I went on recently...that will be a distraction for the evening at least. Unless we end up at the Indian like last time...

That was one of the few times I managed to purge properly. I cant seem to get the hang of it. Maybe cuz the thought of being sick TERRIFIES me =( At that point though, having the food in me terrified me more. I was on the bus going home and googling 'easy ways to purge' on my phone. Yeh. Wrongun. I hadn't eaten anything solid for about 4 weeks before that meal, just milkshakes, so you can imagine the agony I was in after eating a huge meal. Not that that justifies a thing. It doesn't.

Mmm..ok. Peace out guys <3

Pro Recovery. All the way xx some pics that I LOVEEE








I dont wana be SKINNY. Just NORMAL =/




hello =)

Apparently...blogging is thereputic? Did I even spell that right? Whoa...thats a good start..lol...Hm well, I may as well give it a go. Nothing to lose :)


Today I binged. I started the day convinced I would restrict completely. Eat nothing. At all. But I had a CBT appointment, so I thought it best to eat first. I had a yoghurt...


After my session, I found myself on the bus to the supermarket. Where i started off buying pineapple, with every good intention. Of course, it didnt end well. I ended up with sooo much food. I got home and ate it all.


Then I went out for dinner with some friends. I actually had a lovely time :) But maybe I didnt need a carvery [minus the meat of course] and a turkish delight cheesecake :\ I want the evil food out of me. I hate the feeling. I feel like I have put on a stone today alone. Not good. It makes me feel so weak and useless, and scared. I mean, I have 9stone to lose!! Im not guna lose it but stuffing my mouth with chocolate, cakes, peanuts, carvery and cheesecake, am I?...


But I just can't stop myself. The need to binge just WON'T go away til i give in. I hate it. I sit here wishing I had anorexia. I know thats awful. But at least I would have control. At least I would be thin.
