So I thought I'd be a good girl today, cleanse my body of all the terrible junk I've been shovelling for the past week, and eat 600-800 calories of nutritious, low fat vegan food. I was so close to making it work. My error was that I had my supper of pea & mint soup early, at like 5pm. I was so restless and so worried I would binge that I got dressed and went on a long walk. During this walk I passed the health food shop near my house. It's a really cool big one that stocks these awesome vegan/vegetarian options that you can't get in many places over here. I used to shop there all the time during my vegetarian days last year. But anyway... I thought to myself, 'I'll stock up on some stuff so I can do a few days of this' and picked up some quinoa salad, lots of fruit smoothies and vegetable juices, a couple of raw vegan cereal bars, raw cacao & cinnamon kale chips, more falafel, etc. I brought it all home and within an hour, I had eaten over half of it.
I do it to myself.
Here's how my week looks. Tomorrow I'm collecting my sister from a therapy session and bringing her back home for dinner. I don't know what that will entail, which is making me stupidly anxious, so I'm gonna have to play tomorrow by ear. On Saturday I'm spending the day with Eliza, and then going out for Italian, which will be the death of me, and on Sunday I'm having supper at Tina's, which may or may not be healthy. So that leaves me Thursday and Friday to myself, during which I am going to try my absolute goddamn hardest to restrict. I need to, if I stand any chance at NOT looking like a fat cow once exams are over.
I'm trying really hard to dig myself out of this hole, readers, I really am. Because let's face it, no one wants to read about a girl who just binges continuously and never loses any weight. So it's time to get myself on track. I need to be in the 61's by the beginning of next week. Losing weight is the only thing that makes me truly happy these days.
I'm sorry you ended up binging but at least it was healthy food. Try not to beat yourself up, we all slip up from time to time and it doesn't mean you fucked up. I binged and purged about 10 times today and I am so very tired. I always swear that this is the last time but it's like it has a life of it's own. I have a path worn from my kitchen to my bathroom. Hang in there sweetie xxx
ReplyDeleteI really like that pic btw.
ReplyDeleteAt least it was healthy food like Ruby said, less sats and other nasties in your system. I still think you shouldn't let this discourage you and try to stick to healthy foods where you can. I cannot imagine how hard It is to resist proper bingeing, but as I said before you will get through it.
Love,

oh, im so sorry - i did the same today binged on freaking salad and veg.. even though its healthy I still feel shit so I can feel your pain, but hey tomorrows a brand new day right?
ReplyDeleteyou can do this I believe in you a hundred percent <3
much love.. ps love the pic, is it you? xx
You should really try and eat 1200 calories a day.... 600-800 is far too low. when you restrict, it only sets you up to binge more. Try to have 3 meals and 3-4 snacks a day, to not get your body to feel really hungry and deprived.
