I'm up absurdly early. I woke up at 1:30am after just 4.5 hours of sleep. But i feel okay, just like being up, don't feel like sleeping anymore. Well, i can have a nice quiet day and if possible i can nap tho i only nap a few times a year. Just can't sleep in the daytime. I can rest all day tho.

My dog's teeth cleaning is over. It didn't go smoothly and was outrageously expensive. I'll have to be disciplined about her dental care from now on so maybe it'll never have to be done again. It sure is cheaper to brush a dog's teeth than to take them for dental cleaning! Dental chew treats and special kibble promoting dental health will help too.

I'd do just about anything not to have to go thru this again, on my part and on hers. I hate to see her suffer! She hopped in from the balcony tho before i could pick her up and lift her so that's a good sign, that she's strong, co-ordinated and alert enough to make a good leap like that.

Also, the after-care is going to be a challenge. I just hope there are no complications. My dog cries quietly a bit sometimes even tho she is on pain meds. They give her gabapentin, just like us bipolars! Sometimes i think doctors don't really know what meds do, what their purposes are, that they just guess. I looked in her mouth with my phone flashlight and everything LOOKS fine... Well, i'll make my dog as comfortable as possible and care for her diligently and that's about all i can do.

It's the Two Week Anniversary of my diet! WOOHOO!!! It's going well, i'm fine with regular milk now! Just took some persistence. My solution of brushing, flossing and rinsing when i feel binge-y gives me hope that i can overcome this hideous overeating/binge-eating lifestyle.

Wow, fourteen days in a row with only two serious binges... Just: wow. And one of the binges was on these exquisite Veg Spring Rolls, so at least that was nutritious and not just junk. The second was my binge-food-of-choice tho, hate to see that.

Thanks everyone for your support! Your comments mean a lot to me when i am working so hard to change my behavior. I need all the help i can get!

Ta!

Jane.
