I'm supposedly doing so well, we're cutting back my therapy, I'm stable on my meds, I'm juggling 3 jobs without freaking out, but the first time I'm truly tested (my application for my dream job was "pended" - on hold - today before I even got a chance to interview. it went through after midnight, but i didn't know that before going to bed when I was freaking out) I go on a huge binge. My dad works in vending and he brought home a huge case of chips, I had at least 5 bags of those, who knows how many cheese puffs from the giant sam's club container, and half a bag of cookies. Basically ate til I was feeling sick. And then tried taking a seeping pill, which aren't effective on a full stomach, so I've been up all night. I can't believe I screwed up so badly.

We all have slip ups sometimes. It sounds like you are doing so well and I am sure you will get back there again someday. Good luck

Please give yourself a big hug, and know that tomorrow is a brand new day...and a new start

It is so sad. The excess food the struggle with feelings. Oh for some peace. I wish my family understood how much love and support I have needed.

I really don't like the expression messed up
If we were driving, we would say that we took the wrong turn

I like that, we took a wrong turn, so no big thing right?
We look for the most close turn and we take it right back to the right path.

Does make any sense to anyone but me?

Every meal is a new opportunity to change our choices.

Growly - I love that. I like that it is "our choice."
It makes me feel like I have control

That feels good
