But don't just expect to survive, expect to prevail! This is a quote from Winston Churchill.

Please don't let all that is happening in your life get so out of whack that you start drinking a lot. You have been doing so well. Trust and rely on God. It's the only thing I can tell you. It's they only thing I know how to do. Love you.

I've just been reading your blog and it's very moving.<br />I know all too well that horrible deep down feeling of frustration when you step on the scales and it all falls apart. I've also been to the very edge of ending it and then stopped myself for my family.<br />I've known people that simply couldn't deal with having ED or BDD and have suddenly decided they can't carry on. It hurts and makes you feel like you may end up with the same fate.<br />But be strong and know each day is different and everyone has highs and lows. I'm on a low at the minute and I'm new to blogging... reading people's blogs like yours helps me because I know I'm not the only one out there and other people do understand.<br />So thank you. I hope you don't mind if I 'follow' you. Sorry this has gotten a bit long hehe.<br />Gecko xGeckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15870496179506034617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935595910705354593.post-55925579158329399042010-04-02T14:52:43.074-07:002010-04-02T14:52:43.074-07:00Glad to see you back!

Alot of that is my depression. As for my kids, I help them be active in little ways. Like if i have time, I let them walk in the grocery store instead of ride in the cart. We go to the park when the weather is nice. even coloring on the sidewalk with chalk is more active than sitting inside playing video games.<br />Myseld, I have never enjoyed excercise. I got this gym membership, was all gung-ho about working out every day and was going to get lean and toned and all that. I pretty much burned myself out in about a month.<br />I spend an unhealthy amount of time online. i cant help it, most of my support is online, and I need it. But I am trying to find balance, even if that just means a walk around the block to get some sun on my face. It gets better as the weather is improving.<br /><br />Hope this gives you some ideas.lisalisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506556513672749033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935595910705354593.post-11458590338556546802010-04-02T12:23:57.017-07:002010-04-02T12:23:57.017-07:00I'm glad you posted, and I'm right there w...I'm glad you posted, and I'm right there with you as far as the depression, weight gain, and lazyness. If I had the magic answer I would share it, but I don't.<br /><br />One thing I am trying as a way to get myself to do anything (paperwork, cleaning, etc.) is the 15 min. rule. I set the timer for 15 min. and do a chore. Sometimes I get into a grove and go beyond the 15 min. and sometimes I quit as soon as the timer goes off an just go lay down. But at least I did something so I don't go to bed totally hating myself for going another day doing nothing. Perhaps you can try it with exercise? I guess I should try it with exercise, too.<br /><br />Best wishes.

So you have moved on from purging junk food to purging expensive food. At least you are making the EFFORT to feed yourself right. One of these days you will take the next step and stop at one plate. And then you may binge the next time. Sometimes recovery IS one step forward, two steps back. Consider that one forward step as practice for a time when the forward steps will outnumber the backwards steps.<br />I have been purging alot lately, too. In fact I just threw up dinner. I wasn't planning on doing that when I sat down to eat. I had good intentions, but sometimes it all goes to crap. Still, I do not consider myself a failure. I cannot change the fact that I just purged. I hope that will be the last time for the day. I try to look at the situation as an objective observer, and not attatch emotion or judgement to it. If I judged myself every time i purged or otherwise "failed" at recovery I probably would not have the will to live.<br />You are fighting a valiant and difficult fight. You are not perfect. I for one do not feel lied to. everyone struggles. I hope you keep blogging, and revealing as much or as little of your struggles as you choose. this is your blog. <br />(hug)lisalisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506556513672749033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935595910705354593.post-15976367126114662682010-02-11T15:16:40.950-08:002010-02-11T15:16:40.950-08:00Hey!

I am so sorry you are feeling like this, it's a really really awful feeling. Although I don't purge myself, sometimes in the past I have wished I could but at the same time glad I can't, I am feeling like a horrible failure myself tonight. By the way, that photo of your little one, is beautiful. What peace. I really hope you feel better tomorrow. I also feel the one step forward two steps back. I hope you are okay and I'm thinking of you. You know what though, even posting on here how you are really feeling when you feel you have failed, is a big step forward. I know you feel like it's not but it is.
