The "what's going on with us" thread. *possible trigs*
What this thread is for:
Feel free to talk/rant/vent about what you're up to, how you're feeling, and how your eating pattern is each day.
The advantages:
It's a great way to talk about what's going on in your life without making a whole new thread if you don't feel it's necessary. It's also an excellent way to offer fellow RYLers a bit of support and encouragement in their recovery.
Well my eating is getting a bit better, I was only eating once a day, but I've started eating 2 or 3 times but I'll eat something healthy, like an apple, yoghurt or soup. PLus I need to eat more anyway for when I have dance class, cos last week I was nearly too weak from not eating to dance.
Apart from all that, my mood has been very good, obviously except for when it comes to eating, but I do feel better for eating a bit more, even though I may panic about it, I know what I'm eating is healthy so it's not too worrying.
Hope everyone else is doing well and sorry for rambling. This is a good thread.
Great to see some improvement Nikaroo. Maybe something with carbs or protein in it would provide some energy for your dance classes? I mind being taught something about slow releasing energy and fast releasing when it comes to carbs... I think bread and stuff releases energy slowly, but things like chocolate releases energy quickly. Which is why footballers eat oranges and jaffa cakes and stuff :)
Haha, it's amazing the ***** I remember from H.E GCSE, honestly.
I don't have an ED but I'm trying to eat healthier at the moment. Browsing through BBC websites for interesting recipes. That's probably what I'll be up to today. Haha, really need to get a life :P
That sounds good, Eimear! Healthy recipes are always yummy - and it's nice to cook for yourself, as well. I don't see why this board should be exclusive to people with eating disorders, either. You're an extremly smart cookie, plus very cool - post away! You did start this thread, after all :)
I'm seeing an ED nurse at the moment, a CPN. He wants me to eat healthier, gain weight, and stop doing silly things with pills. This scares me, rather. I think the thing that scares me the most is the meal plan he put me on. It's not extortionate, but it's just so... Ordered?
Mmhm. Thank you for this thread, Eimear. I wanted to write that somewhere, but didn't want to create a whole new thread for myself.

Trying to get my weight down seeing as my BMI is in the "overweight" bit. Trying to eat healthier. Trying to ignore the nagging voice telling me to stop eating altogether.
Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…
you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
I'm eating *lots* - which is horrible, and I can see myself getting fatter, and it's making me quite suicidal. Holding out for hockey tour this weekend and then South Africa though, and hoping that the exercise will help sort things out.
Well, i have been binging for the past couple of weeks and don't seem to be stopping. I think i will start to try to eat *sensibly* on monday. Then all the evils of easter and chocolate will be gone!

Not doing so good today. Didn't get any sleep at all last night and now I'm panicking over food. I'm sooo hungry but I can't eat, I just can't do it, I'm soooo fat and I hate it and I just want to be thin but I never will be cos I'm a fat greedy pig. And I have to eat chocolate all weekend and I'll love it at the time but afterwards I'm just gonna feel so guilty and horrible. And then I'm going on holidays and I don't know how I'm gonna fool my mam into thinking I eat more than once a day. Oh noooooo I feel terrible. But I'm going to Disney on Ice later so that should cheer me up. Sorry for being negative.

Yeah, that's a good attitude Camilla, i think i am going to try and follow it, i have decided i shouldn't do anything eating wise that i would tell someone else was unhealthy.

My dad always said that eating something is better than nothing.
inkyspider, maybe you could speak to a family member, and define your meals through the day? I don't know if that would be extremely difficult for you or not, but maybe making a point of sitting down and eating breakfast with the family, then lunch and dinner if you can - would be a start. Even small meals if that would make things easier. You'll get through it though.
Kel, honey, why can't you listen to your body? Or why not try to put something into your meal plan? When I was IP, we ate six times a day - breakfast, lunch, dinner & three snacks. You could try gently putting them into your diet, so that they're there, and you can try to listen to your body. Well done for doing as well as you are, and for keeping trying - you're doing brillaintly :)
inkyspider, I agree with lostdoll - could you try sorting out some sort of mealplan for you?
