| | depressed | ] | I haven't posted here in a long time. It's been a tough few years. Lets see, where to begin... In April of 08 I got laid off. I was home all the time looking for new jobs and getting nothing, so guess what I did? Ate and ate. I ballooned to 215 pounds. That pretty damn bad. Well I thought I was pretty much at the end of my rope, then, in October of last year I got pregnant! We have been trying since Jan 06 to have another baby and through a miscarriage and many unsuccessful months we had decided to adopt. We had the home study done and everything was on it's way when I decided to test one day. I had been sick alot and I don't get ill like that on a normal basis so I went and bought a pregnancy test. It was positive! Well I had our little girl in June and she is just the most precious thing you could ever see. I love her more than I could ever love anything. Of course I still love my other child as well, but I am just in such awe of this new little girl. Well the bad thing is, now I'm up to 240 pounds. 240 POUNDS! That is so ridiculous. I hate myself for getting that big but I can't stop eating. I start out so good every day and then by 2pm I've scarfed down so much shit it'd make a grown man cry in pain. It's just so one way or another with me. It's all or nothing. I can't live a happy medium. I need to lose weight. BADLY. So I've found my livejournal again. Hopefully it'll help this time. |

I'm stuck. Just sitting at 198 and not moving. I guess it's better than going up, but I'm SO frustrated. I'm a cow, I'd like to be less cowish, but the scale won't budge. I am lowering my calories again starting tomorrow. I will not be pushed around by a machine, by numbers. Numbers will not run my life. I am lowering my calories and those numbers are going to change. Thos numbers will go down. |

Down a pound and a half!!! I LOVE high protein! I didn't think I was gonna be able to stick to it cuz it makes me feel crappy, but I did it (except for 1 tiny misstep with 2 fried cheese sticks)! And it totally paid off. I can't help thinking, though, if I hadnt had the cheese, would I be even thinner? I don't know, it shouldn't matter, but it does. Anyway, I am happy with my 1.5 lb loss.
I'm at 198 today. Still way too fat. I've never been this high before. My highest ever is 211 and that was just this August. My highest ever before this was 189 and then I lost 30 pounds... and then gained WAY more than 30 in a year. 198 would have totally freaked me out if I had been weighing myself regularly this past year. But I didn't. When I stepped on the scale I was 208, I freaked and ate everything in site. Then I was 211 2 weeks later. I started unsuccessfully trying to restrict again. I couldn't do it until 2 weeks ago. Now I've lost 13 pounds.That is awesome weightloss. I just wish the numbers on the scale were lower.
I feel like I have SUCH a long way to go. I don't know when I'm going to get there and that terrifies me. But I'm going to keep trying. As long as the numbers keep going down, I'm gonna be ok. |

I really hate my job. The job itself isn't horrible. I sit in a car all day and type house violations on a laptop. Not horrible, but not fantastic either. EVERYDAY I am in the car with someone different. EVERYDAY that person wants fast food or something just as disgusting. EVERYDAY I have to come up with some excuse as to why I don't want lunch. People are beginning to get suspicious. I have told all of them I eat a huge breakfast and I'm just not hungry for lunch. They guilt trip me.."I don't wanna eat all alone..eat something with me".. or they ask a bajillion questions.."what did you have for breakfast? How does that keep you full all day long? Do you eat dinner? Are you taking diet pills?"... OMG leave me alone! I don't want to eat. Shit , just let me be!
Today I had to eat. We went into a restaurant and sat in a booth with menus and all. How am I supposed to NOT order? So I ordered a grilled chicken salad with the dressing on the side. I took out the chicken, the cucumbers, the onions, the crutons and basically ate 4 bites of lettuce and 3 cherry tomatoes and no dressing. I complained that the chicken was too greasy, the dressing was too sweet, the cucumbers were too onion-y and I don't eat crutons. Then I complained that the hot chicken slices made the lettuce limp and I couldn't eat limp lettuce. By the time I was done complaining, the other girl was like" omg, I can't take you anywhere! We're never going out to eat again!" ...THANK YOU!!!! ..I wanted to shout it from the roof, but I didn't even whisper it. I just said "whatever" and paid my bill. Ugh, it was so depressing.
I was so mad at her. Any restaurant is a potential binge being waived in front of my face. All the smells, my favorite foods, the chips they put on the table.. UUUGGHHH! I feel so angry. How could she do that to me? How could she FORCE me into somewhere that could potentially ruin my whole day? How dare she remind me of how fat and gross I am? The nerve of her to actually think she can't take me out to eat! -I don't want her to, but how dare she emply I'm difficult! -I'm so mad at her!! It's kindof unfair to her, she has no idea I have any kind of ED, she didn't know, she didn't realize the anxiety that runs through my veins when it comes to food, the phobia I have of people watching me eat, the pure fear I felt the entire time... but I'm still so mad at her!

How fucking pathetic is that?! I am so nausiated right now. That's what I get, damn. I deserve to be sick at my stomach. Fucking pig.I did good all day until now. There goes my 4 pound loss this week. I'm going running and I won't stop until I've burned up every last calorie!!! |

| | aggravated | ] | So yesterday I only ate 865 calories. I say "only" because that's really good compaired to how I've been lately. Today, so far, I've had 300 calories. But dinner is the hardest part for me. I have to cook for my family and resisting the urge to sample is hard. Yesterday I made some hamburger helper, and I don't eat beef, so that was easy to avoid. Tonight spaghetti was requested. I love spaghetti. I'll only have a tiny bit and then go for a jog. Hopefully, after that jog, I'll be so tired from dragging my fat ass behind me for an hour , that I'll just want to go to bed. I seriously don't know how I move around with all this blubber. I wish it got in the way more than it does. Maybe then I wouldn't be such a fat ass! Maybe then I'd want to get rid of it faster. UUUGGHHH!!! What's the point? I just wanna drown myself in a bucket of icecream. God, why am I such a fucking loser? |

| | dirty | ] | First entry. I disgust myself. My eating is out of control. My self worth plunges lower everyday. My self esteem is virtually non existent. I don't even look in the mirror anymore. I just can't face it. My every thought is consumed by food. It's 8am, but what am I gonna have for dinner? What will I have for dinner tomorrow? What if I forget to thaw out the chicken, then what will I do? I want pizza for lunch, but I had a 600 calorie muffin for breakfast, but it's ok because it was breakfast and I can burn that off throughout the day. So I eat the pizza. Before I finish the pizza I see a brownie I have to have. ...How many calories in the brownie?... Maybe 200, maybe 500... I better get a diet soda, I don't wanna go overboard. Every thought is food. Food has taken over my life. I hate my life. I hate myself.
If I knew I was going to die in my sleep, I wouldn't care. If I was told I was going to die in a car accident tomorrow, I would get in the car and drive all day to make sure it happens. But to kill myself and leave my family with nothing is out of the question. Insurance doesn't pay for suicide. So alas, I am forced to face another day in this world I despise. Forced to watch myself, as if from afar, mechanically stuff bite after bite into my mouth of whatever is in my grasp. Forced to watch as my gut gets bigger and my thighs plop over the boundaries of the chair I sit in; Yet I continue to shovel it in. I cannot stop. Through the ordeal, I hear shouting in my head. Faceless voices that yell at ear piercing levels...
"Stop it ,STOP IT!!! What are you doing?! You fat fucking COW! Do you see everyone staring at you? Can you imagine what they must be thinking?! Oh my god, what are you doing? Stop eating, stop it!!"
But I can't make it stop. It's no longer under my control. I'm getting bigger and I can't make it stop. I don't know what to do. I can't make it stop. I feel so dirty from it all, but It's taken over my life. I'm so angry, I'm so hurt, I'm such an idiot! The voice again.."Just don't do it. Just stop eating. Just restrict like you used to. 300 calories a day, 500 calories a day. You once fasted for 16 days straight on nothing but coffee and water. Where is that girl? Where is that control, all the will power, all the strength? What happend to that girl?" .. I'd sure like to know. |
