therapy this morning: crying likely

i'm still very much inafunk. last night i just didn't want to keep fighting, and so i sort of gave up and caved in to the disorder. and i feel and and . i only half regret/ted it, because honestly, it provided some comfort. and i'm not sure what to make of that. i'm scared that it seems like i'm slipping close to 1x/week these days. i guess this is what active recovery is...

i put together a cheery breakfast, but it's not doing much for the mood. i wasn't really hungry for it, either, but i went for a run this morning so i know i need the fuel.

ezekiel 4:9 english muffin, packet justin's maple-almond butter, 1/2 banana, 5 small strawberries (all gone!), roughly 1/2 c cottage cheese

tweet!

someone on my team @ work is providing lunch as a thank you today, so that'll probably be pizza or something. i'm not all that worried about it. the good thing about my slips these days is that i know that they are emotional, not physiological, and so it is fairly easy to bounce back from them.

happy latte day everyone

i'm digging the gmail emoticons:

especially the space invaders guy:

  1. You have soo much to be proud of. The book I just finished told me that this is all part of the process. The slips are necessary. Just think about how you are viewing them now. A lot has changed since you were living the life of b&p regularly. A LOT. be proud of that. I hope that the session goes well and that you have a nice day.

  2. What's that third emoticon? You felt angry and sad and ... sneaky? I *think* it seems normal to feel some comfort from a purge because it at some point it might have developed as a coping mechanism. At some point it worked. So it's hard not to do it if you feel like you "need" it. Not sure if that makes sense...
