Eating Disorders on Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2003 @ 8:53 p.m.
I really want to write about my eating problems right now, so I will do that. But again, I probably won't be able to write that much more until Thursday. Anyway, how do you like the new layout? okay, moving on.
As you know I have struggled with eating disorders for almost a year now. Going back and forth-thinking about bulimia,to anorexia,to holding it off, and so on. I have to say now my updated situation.
I am anorexic and bulimic. I have anorexia, and am currently on a short fast. I have bulimia...somewhat. For about half a week, I've been trying to throw up what I'm eating. I get to the point of where I can FEEL the stuff coming up, so I take out my fingers and open my mouth wider. But nothing comes out. I am getting the sore throat, and other things that you get from bulimia,but I still can't actually throw up. It is driving me crazy and I feel like a failure. Like I can't do anything.
With anorexia...
For awhile I've been thinking that I am obbsessive-compulsive. I KNEW I had the disorder..but I didn't know what part of me was obbsessive or compulsive. I now know. All I can think about most of the time is my wieght and food. It rules my mind, and no matter how hard I try I can't stop thinking about it. Compulsive...if I have a compulsion then it's probably cutting. But I'm not going to go into it.
I haven't eaten since late last night. I feel proud almost about it. Great. I'm going to try not to eat until Thursday...maybe longer. But I promised Kelly I won't go over a week.
I feel somewhat better now....I'm glad I have diaryland and the diaryland community.
Diary of the day: dramakittyw I lubs ya taco taytay =)...I think you should read her! She's very nice and awesome.
