I need to get a serious grip on my coffee intake. It's making me completely on edge & almost paranoid, worrying. I will not drink Decaf. I think it has a gross minty taste...

I am a coffee drinker too. How much do you drink in a day?

Good Morning, Everyone! Here I am, doing my best to face my day and make the most of it!

Like 3 entire pots. At least! But I also quit drinking alcohol for 2 years now. Then u switch to coffee, instead of the usual beer for breakfast

Today I can exercise again. But I don't much care about anything, today. I'm really cold!

Today i had to step on the scale in front of my wife to weigh our dog at home. I called the vet for medicine, and they asked for an updated weight. I put the scale so the numbers were upside down to her, and i dont know if she looked or cared. I felt stupid to care myself when the dog was more important.

Holidays Are Hard ...

I am just drinking water. Cut way back on coffee. Ate a full meal with pumpkin pie for dessert. I still feel like garbage. I'm laying down, now. I'm gonna try taking a nap. Have not felt well for a couple days, now.

Anyone going Black Friday shopping? Not me. First, we have no money. Two, it just sings to the overspending manic part of my bipolar.

I have to go to a grocery store tomorrow but only because I use the pharmacy inside. I will just stick with the drive-thru. Not too much to be tempted to buy at the grocery store, but they usually do have some seasonal things.

Not shopping offline or online for Black Friday this year. No money. I also refuse to go out on Black Friday--too many people out there and acting insanely, too.

I hope you will feel better. I had cranberry sauce along with the meal and my blood sugar went up really high. It came back down nicely though with some apple cider vinegar water.

Ran quite far today, even for me. Organized 2 clothes drawers. Appetite OK, not great, not sure why. Need to work on dinner.

[Blueberrybook]

Ugh. Today is one of those days when meals just come on too often. Starting dinner now, not too hungry. This is the part that sucks about being a mom & having a family. Meals, meals, meals. Days like today I get sick of it, especially when I don't have much appetite.

Overate but not as bad as I would have expected given all these Thanksgiving leftovers.

I like peanut butter, too. Have you ever had the multiple nut butter? Trader Joe's has some they sell on amazon that is really good imo. My only problem with it is that I want to binge on it at times.

I've done much better than usual today.

Good for you! Things do get better!

Isn't it odd that the past few days during the holiday have been my best in a long time in terms dealing with my bulimia? Strange but I'm happy about it of course

No, never heard of it. My OH buys PB. I would never buy it, I don't even care for it much. But I will eat a tablespoon of it for protein & fat. And I try to avoid our white bread so I'm not a PB Lover

[shovelhead]

If I could, I'd eat nothing today. But I plan on exercising like usual. I just hiked my dog on his leash. It's 1 pm. Been cleaning, too. I always clean while fasting. I get alot done!

[Blueberrybook]

Here today. Realized I messed up my pillbox today and may have all week (refill on Sundays). Didn't run when I realized my balance was totally off and that I probably shouldn't even go walking. Slept most of the morning because of taking a night med in the morning. I feel so guilty for not exercising. EDs suck.

When I was exercising a lot I used to feel guilty when I did not, too. Not sure that is all an ED thing; I think many feel the same way regardless if they have an ED or not. I used to think I'm slacking. I don't exercise at all any more and feel bad that I don't but not for very long when I think of all the pain it causes me.

Went to a party tonight and had a lot to eat. Not going to measure my glucose level tonight and I hope I can avoid the scale for awhile; too depressing. I am just a few pounds from one of my goals but tonight I know that I've gone up so I hope to avoid the scale and thus avoid more depression. Maybe I should just toss the scale altogether; don't think I haven't thought of that!

[Blue_Bird]

I had a serious insight today.

None of my friends weights matter to me. I don't even think about their weights. Wether they lose or gain it wouldn't make a difference to me in seeing them as people, and they'd still be the same, my friends. People with unique personalities. So I guess nobody really sees me as disgusting like I tend to feel about myself. I should treat myself like I would treat others.

Had a horrible afternoon. Spent all of it depressed and crying, not food related. Not going into it here (already did that on the bipolar forum) except to say it pretty much killed my appetite.
