Good for you!!! And thanks for letting us know you got it done.

Do you mind if I go off the subject on your thread? I hope not, but my husband joined this board, and I thought I was okay with it, but now I'm afraid to talk about things because I might not want him to know everything. And I don't have a T anymore. He said I looked good enough to stop therapy. I can still write to him, but he's just not good at answering e-mail. I've been waiting 8 days for an answer to the last one, and when he does reply it is usually just "thanks for writing." Now he says he isn't comfortable going into deep personal issues through e-mail because he's travelling so much and doesn't have time.

Anyway, if I start a thread my husband is more likely to see it and I feel like hiding right now. I don't think he reads the eating disorders forum, so maybe I am safe this way.

Today was exactly one year since the SI incident that landed me in jail for 2 hours. I've had this feeling that I need to mark that day by not eating. I'm not considered to have an eating disorder since my weight is okay and I'm not bulimic, so my T never seemed to want to hear about my eating habits. In fact, I told him once that I sabotage myself by not eating, particularly when there is something I need to do like taking a test, and he said that's okay. He was more concerned if I don't sleep, which I do too.

I did wind up eating more today than I planned on (3 pieces of chocolate, an apple, and a granola bar). What bothers me is that I forget to feed the kids. They usually find something - they always eat something good for breakfast (since I never eat breakfast and they are used to getting their own), but we forgot about dinner today. They do snack, on healthy stuff, but ....

Interesting that you mentioned worrying about money. I worry about that too, and the first thing I think of is that I just won't eat. I made it through college on a very low budget, and often couldn't afford groceries. I made a batch of cookies about once a week and that was sometimes all I had.

Well, sorry for the interruption. I just needed to tell somebody. Thanks!

And Inkblot, please keep letting us know how you are doing.
