For all the girls who have this disease that consumes their lives. For all the girls who feel they are never good enough. For all the girls who cry over the numbers. Know you are not alone. Know that there are others just like you. Girls like me.

What an emotional day
So I have a slight hint that I'm coming down with something. I have felt like crap the last couple days, but this morning when I woke up, I felt like a train had hit me. All I wanted to do was sleep, but with two kids, yeah, that's impossible. So I took my oldest to school, came home and played with the baby. My first emotional thing that hit me was that he is going to be 1 in two days. Already. I just can't grasp that I guess. But then a friend of mine and I got into a heated discussion about my ED and she made me feel like shit about it. I guess not everyone is going to accept me for who I am. So by the time the baby went down for a nap, my oldest was home from school, so I couldn't take a nap then. At this point, I hadn't touched any sort of food because I was ignoring my stomach yelling at me. And then when I was making my son lunch, it happened. Something that I am so ashamed of and that I NEVER thought I would do. I ate a couple chips, but instead of throwing them back up, I just avoided swallowing them all together. I just spit them in the trash. Awhile back, I saw this thing on TV of a lady who did that because she wanted the taste of it, but not to consume any sort of calories. And at the time, I didn't understand how someone just couldn't swallow their food, but today, I finally understood it. I'm ashamed of myself for doing it, but it was pretty comforting to know that I didn't consume those calories. By 5pm, I had only consumed about 150 calories, but those came right back up as well. All the meanwhile, I had two friends coming to me, emotional about the other, and I didn't know exactly what to do or what to say. So I tried my hardest to make them both feel better about the situation. I don't know how I did there. Then we went out to eat at Santiagos for dinner. I love the food, it's cheap and that is the most cooperative food with my ED. I got on the scale at probably 4pm since I haven't eaten any food at all, and I got frustrated because it was still the same. Last night I was asked, when will I be happy? What is my goal? When will it subside? Well the funny thing about this stupid Eating Disorder is, I don't know if I ever will be happy, or what my goal is. When I started at the gym back in September, I told the personal trainer that my goal was 115. I thought that was a realistic goal. But here I am, 4 months later, and still 121.2; what in the world?!?! Why is my goal so unreachable? Why can't I just be there and then see if I'm happy at 115? It's so frustrating. And then to top off my roller coaster of a day, my oldest brother calls me and we start talking about Chris, my brother who was killed in August. So now I've got all of that playing in my head. I want this day to be over and it's not even 9pm. Tomorrow, I plan on going jean shopping since all of my jeans are too big, but I'm dreading it. I hate it so much. But I guess we will see what tomorrow brings.
