    Glad you had a good day food-wise Courtney! Thats great you booked an apt with a dietician! You'll have to let us know what she says! I like hearing plans from professionals. Does your mom know about your BED?

    Hey thanks it was a pretty big step to go look for help again. Yes my mom knows about my BED and she only makes it worse she thinks shes helping by saying stuff like your face is chubbier, she thinks itll make me want to go work out more and stuff. I tell her it only makes me upset and worse because Im trying. We argure about it every time Im home, shell say "Fine then I wont say anything I cant do anything right" So i tell her calmy Id rather her not say anything at all, it would help. She sahys fine, but everytime there are always remarks made "Didnt you just eat a few hours ago? Youre eating again? Courtney, did you eat the last of the wheat bread?" I HATE it. If I wasnt at college right now out of the house ..and state... I dont know whati would do...I wouldnt be able to live with her thats for sure. But I have class in just a bit such an insane week so some workkkk. ttyl

    Ugghh Courtney I'm really sorry you have to deal with that with your mom...my grandmother is the EXACT same way...she has always been my biggest trigger because I always felt like whatever I did wasn't right, when I was skinny, I was too skinny, and when I was heavy, she was always trying to give me advice on how to eat, exercise etc and drove me BAT CRAZY..so I feel you girl. I think I had to basically just start ignoring her and not take what she said so personally, as she was only trying to help and didn't know how else to support me. Its annoying though. Hope you have a good class! Hugs, Lauren

    Hey! Oh man that sounds like a bit of pressure from your mum. It's hard when other people dont see BED as a disorder and just cant understand why we cant 'just stop eating'. Its a mind thing. Try not to let her words get to you, as hard as it is. Keep journaling your thoughts and getting then tension out. Like lauren said, your mum is just trying to help so you have to try and ignore the fact thats its bloody annoyinnnggg!!!!!!!! How did the dietitian go? x

    Hey Court! I know you felt sick and out of control with what you ate..but it really sounds more like an over eat then a binge. I'm glad being at work though helped you stop and get control back! Ok think positively about being home for the weekend..you are going to take the challenge on and win! If you are feeling tempted just get on here for extra support! Hope you have a great Friday. Hugs, Lauren

    hey guys thanks for the replies. I went to the dietition appointment today and it was emotional as usual. Told her my whole story right now for the first week she gave me a book called "the rules of normal eating" so ill look at that later tonight. Also she is having me write down my food, hunger levels and feelings. Having me have a "fun food" with lunch and dinner like a little piece of chocolate or something like that just to start me off. I asked if its normal to eat the same thing everyday and she says its normal to eat what satisfies you and I need to find out thats everyday may is different or could be similiar to another days. Well just thought Id type out whats going on here. Hope is all well with you guys. I have another appt with her the 26th so Ill see how that goes.

    Oh and the weekend at home binged twice =[ wonderful time with my boyfriend i dunno what happened. Ate an entire bag of reeses peanut butter cups, yeah the whole bag with them all inside, and much more. well ttyl xo court

    Hey Court..aw the appointment sounded like it went well..hopefully that book has some good info in it and its a great plan to write down your hunger levels and emotions before you eat so you can become really aware of that stuff. I think she's right about eating things that satisfy you..some days I eat similar stuff a few days in a row, but its because that is what I'm really wanting. But I've also eaten the exact same meals for 10 months straight and that was so unsatisfying..so you just have to go with what your body wants when you get hungry! Sorry to hear about your weekend...hope this week goes well for you! Hugs, Lauren
