rainy day


it rained all day today. i have court tomorrow and im not sure of the outcome. so i will either be back or not be back. i've really just been down in the dumps lately. just depressed not wanting to do anything. sitting inside just staring out the window or laying in bed just staring at the ceiling. i broke my nose the other day in a fight. and it hurts like a b*tch. im just sort of like blah. i havent eaten in a week. i want to lost weight and even though its not healthy its the only way i know that works for me. well im off to bed.

Hey Liz, you gotta eat. That's why you're not feeling good. You need protein or your body is just going to take it from your muscles just to grow your hair and fingernails. At least eat some eggs (all protein) and some tuna fish (protein). You also need some fruit. Fruit won't make you fat. I've lost 20 lbs. in the last 6 weeks just by eating 2 healthy choice frozen dinner (320 calories ea.) and a protein shake for breakfest. Salads with no fat dressing is a good way to get vitamins too. Hang in there it's gets better smile.gif

well not eating = not feeling good (depressed) and running down you immune system and risking disease.
your brain runs off glucose and if you don't eat, your brain, more or less, shuts down. that's why those runway models (that don't eat) look like they are brain dead zombies, because they are lol. You should be eating at least 1000 calories a day and taking vitamins. Eating right, taking vitamins and exercising is part of your recovery. I'm sure that they talked about that in rehab. It's all true smile.gif A couple of great books to read about what a machine your body is and how to maximize it's potential through proper diet, nutrition, and vitamins are  "Eat to win", and "Eat to succeed"  by Dr. Robert Haas.
Our emotional and mental health are so dependent on good and timely nutrition, and exercise.

"Rainy days and Mondays make me cry", hmmmmm !

Well, Im as of now, addressing food issues myself, especially regarding appetite.
No, Im not anorexic and neither am I saying you are.
Just a common problem we seem to share.

The weekly interferon injection of 5ml and the 6 capsules of ribovarin a day leave me feeling sick, stiff, tense, tired and not wanting to eat.

So Im following advice and drinking a lot of water, eating an omlette a day (spicy), doing lots of fruits, vegetables and chesse, and genarally trying to do small meals but few times a day instead of one or two big meals everyday.

My condition is improving and though Ive lost about 12 pounds form when I started treatment, im feeling ok for it.

Take care my love, these food dis-orders can be tough, I wish I was there to spoonfeed you at least a meal a day !

Hugs and recovery !

Ok !

But isnt it a fact that anorexics have a wrong impression of how their bodies look ?
Hvae you been working the Steps on this and what can you do in your area by way of attending anorexics meeting and/ or getting professional help ?

I pray to God that you take some immediate action Liz, know that you are worth it love , this negative pahse in your life shall quickly pass if you so will it and so desire it !

part of recovery is accepting (and loving) yourself just the way you are (like we do smile.gif )
