I cant get my mind off SI, not even for a second. I feel like I dont have a chance against urges this strong.
I want to make a mess.

So you rode out your urges and they passed! Woo Hoo! I am glad that you are feeling better! My parents have been here since Friday. We will have dinner here today at around 4:00 PM. My husband is the cook (and he is a very good cook)!

Wow! That sounds great. Do you enjoy your parents? Did they come far to visit you? Any other guests???

That's very convenient that H can cook. Did he do everything?

We had a nice Thanksgiving. Alot of vegetarian food, which is very safe for me...and a tofurkey....it was good, no processed soy, and I actually ate well! Tofurkey, salad, veggies....I ate whatever I wanted (that felt safe enough).

I did ride out the urges. But I really didnt intend to. I hate to admit that, I was going to do it. For some reason, I just didnt. I dont know why or how it didnt happen. I just didnt, everytime I was going to, I didnt. I am sitting here now with my 2 yo on my lap, it makes me feel grounded to feel her and know I am her mother. And I have to be sane. You know?

Thanks, BB. The urge has really passed. I can learn from this, it passes. I cant believe it, when Im in the urge, it seems like there is nothing else. I feel relieved and like I can do this

Hi Moon! I enjoy my dad. My mom not so much but she improves every time that they visit (I think because she is in a normal family when she is here). My parents travelled from Michigan. No other guests. Yes, he cooked everything. He is a really good cook and he enjoys it. Lucky me!

I am glad that you enjoyed your Thanksgiving! I am also glad how your daughter affects you for the better!

Yah!!!!!! Feeling trapped in the moment does feel terrible. Realizing that you have space and that you aren't trapped is wonderful.

You are lucky! I hear that parents do mellow as they age . They traveled far?

There is something about the innocence and sweetness of my 2 yo, shes like a little angel, that makes me want to be an adult and healthy for her. She didnt do anything to deserve a mother who doesnt love herself the way I love her.

Sigh...it does feel good, but I am afraid to "jinx" it and get too happy about it, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, everyone here is eating leftovers...for days...and I dont have to cook. That makes me
Thanks for this!
