eating disorder's daily check in spot

just through having a general check in spot for us would be nice I know they mean a lot to me and they are very helpful.

just be nice to everyone and lets help everyone out

Thanks Kala, what a great idea!!
I am doing well today. I thought that i would be struggling due to a rupture with T, but i am still eating as i should be :-) Yay me!!

I haven't purged in a week, so that's big. Of course, I've been restricting a lot so haven't really had much to purge. Sigh....

Me too. Have not purged yet this week. No self-harm urges or suicidal thoughts either. Feeling abandoned by my T but understanding it is just me he really is still there. I think he is backing off because he was getting to emotionally invested in my future.

Great idea!
I continue to eat well but that voice in my head just will not shut the **** up so of course I feel like I'm slippin' and slidin' all over the place. Really, though, I'm not. I'm continuing to make great progress. Just trying to be easy on myself and do things I enjoy that remind me why it's so important to be healthy in the first place.

Great idea

Not doing great, behaviours are getting bad again so desperately trying to get them under control again, it's never ending

had a better time keeping up with eating habbits since I was with my girlfriend and her husband whom well kick my *** if I don't eat proper and I know this!

lol its helps to have people that care around to put food in your mouth when you need it.

Great idea!

I've been attending the intensive program for my ED for a week now. Overwhelming to talk about your ED for up to 8 hours straight with a group of strangers along with therapists and dietitians! I have kept up with my meal plan 100% for 12 days now- Just trying to get used to not only feel like I'm eating all of the time, but also feeling like I'm always full. Ugh

Today I'm really, really dizzy and nauseous and trying my best to keep up with my meal plan. Always dizzy lately, but now it feels like I have a tummy bug too. Eating a little bit throughout the day, but so far getting the meal plan in. Determined to still be at 100% by tonight. Don't want to report in at check-in that I didn't fulfill it.

didn't do so good about remembering breakfast and lunch today feel bad for it. But tomorrow will try better

Feeling good today.

Was too busy for breakfast..but had a larger than normal lunch to make up for it. Got a bit of exercise, ignored my bloated pre-menstrual stomach, and am doing OK

I feel like I'm doing good if I eat one meal a day...but living alone & figuring out what to eat or what I feel like eating & having a broken refrigerator & a loaner out in the garage that only holds part of what my normal refrig holds is difficult.

Interesting when my refrig broke & I had to clean out all the food.....there was so much out dated food that I never ate & wasn't good any more......it made me realize just how much I haven't been eating. I promised myself several months ago that I would not go grocery shopping for anything but the necessities until I cleared out my freezer of the food & had in there......I haven't been really grocery shopping for several months.

Have a problem cooking for myself. I make the meat & eat it while it's hot...but by the time I finish eating that I'm full & don't want to eat anything more......so later on if I get around to it, I fix some vegies or a salad.

First time in months, yesterday I ate out at a fast food restaurant & got a hamburger & sweet potato fries......so not normal for me.

I know my problems are more that I have NO SCHEDULE I live by. I sleep when I'm tired & eat when I'm hungry & never seem to be hungry.....definitely NOT A HEALTHY life style.

I'm doing pretty well, just getting frustrated. My parents have a very strict food budget and it isn't enough for me to get the amount of food I need for my meal plan so when I run out of food I have to eat PB&J or something like that. Don't get me wrong, I like PB&J but I am supposed to be having more variety in my diet. Ugh.

Speak the truth. Seek the truth. Be the truth.

Doing ok, no purging since the weekend and have managed to add a new food into my meal plan x

I have eaten too much food today and not exercised. It's all healthy food it's too much.(suppose to eat only the calories that you have burned or will burn) I'm trying so hard to make myself go outside and take a walk, too depressed to do much of anything.

Hitting the reset button.

UGH, so many emotions I'm dealing with right now & seems like I'm fighting against everything that touches my life.....whole 1 1/2 page list of emotions ......was out until 11pm mowing my field last night & too tired to even think of eating let along let along making anything to eat......so this morning I have to make sure I fix something for breakfast....maybe 2 poached eggs on toast...that way I at least get some protein.....have ballroom dancing lessons tonight....so have to make sure I have energy for that also.

I've been doing pretty well, keeping up with my promise of having a snack every day. Now I'm just a little worried about getting weighed tomorrow.

Speak the truth. Seek the truth. Be the truth.

Is there some sort of alarm you can set to go off every three hours reminding yourself it is time to eat? Maybe plan out a day in advance what you will have for meals so that it is more of an event for you instead of coming around to it when you can?

sometimes that's all we can do

I was doing well for a while but since returning home have slipped up again. I don't have a routine these days in addition to the stress of finding a job and getting into school (could college be any more of a nightmare?) has led to a lot of stress binging and purging. Then I realize school is going to start in a few weeks and I kind of freak out, like how could I even show up there being this size, this huge, disgusting, freakish size? Yes, the ED is talking again and holding my life hostage...
