A little down today.  9 good days.  Mostly.  9 days without binges, anyways.  I'm fighting fighting fighting to keep it that way.  Make that number increase.  It's the only food number I like going up.

Yesterday I called my daddy and left a father's day message on the answering machine.  Went to movie and dinner with D and his parents.  They are divorced, but it wasn't hugely awkward.  They still get along ok.  D's mom offered to come with me to the surgery.  She's so sweet.

Dinner = awful.  Japanese steakhouse.  There is NOTHING ok at a Japanese steakhouse except the salad.  And you can't just get a salad.  The entree comes with a salad.  So I went for the only vegetarian thing on the menu: vegetable dinner, salad with no dressing but lemon wedge on the side, water to drink.  D said, "I knew what you were going to get!  Except the lemon.  I always forget the lemon."  He's pleased he knows me so well.

D ate my soup.  I ate half the salad, two zucchini sticks, and a lot of broccoli and mushrooms.  All cooked in whatever oil/butter/yuck the restaurant uses.  More than I wanted.  Didn't eat any rice (drenched in butter.  I watched them prepare it).  Drank tons of water.  Actually exceeded the 3-4 qts I am supposed to be drinking for kidney stones.  I must've had 4.5 qts yesterday at least.  Came home to a rock band party and immediately offered my leftovers to anyone who wanted them.  My visiting friend and one of my housemate's friend ate some.  There is still a lot in the fridge today.  I don't want it.  I don't.  I don't I don't I don't.

Scale this morning says I am up a pound.  I am positive I did not eat 3500 cals yesterday.  Other than dinner all I had was a grapefruit half.  So it must be water & food weight.  It must.

Still, it sends me into fail-panic-binge mode.  Where my thoughts rush and justify and plead and coerce and threaten and degrade.  I am a failure i cannot do this what is the point i will always be a fat pig and why why why dont i just have a little something or more like everything in the fridge just this once one more binge and then never again just so that i can lose my mind for a while and not think even though this is bullshit because i am still thinking when i eat and i will hate myself even more afterwards.

But I will not.  I will not.  I will not.  I cannot eat.  Not now.  Not today.  I will take some fiber pills and drink tons and tons of water and tomorrow will be better.  Please.  Let this be true.

  1. Hang in there Salix!! You can make it to 10 No-Binge Days. I know you can! Tell those justifying and threatening voices to go fuck themselves.

    *Huggles* How are the stones? Are they looking like they're gonna pass themselves?

  2. Feel better!! You can do this. I know it's hard to not binge, but it's just breaking the food addiction cycle. Mind over matter! It's all mental!

    And you did SO good at that restaurant. I don't know if I would have been as strong. Vegetables digest so fast and even if they cook them in nasty shit, it's so much better than getting a huge piece of meat. Great job on making the right choices!

    I hope your surgery goes well and that you stay healthy, strong, and beautiful. :-)
