Hey!
So my week got a whole lot better, I finally finished painting my hall and the world, once again, became a happy place!
I’ve been out running, out with my family and out with my friends. It’s been a great time this weekend.
I’m proud to report that I have not binged or purged this weekend but I have been sick…
I went out with my friends for a cocktail fuelled catch up last night, I’m not a big drinker and I had way too much. Cut a long story short, I was sick on my way home (at 3am), at home and once this morning.
I’m 100% sure that this is alcohol, not eating disorder related, as I made a point of avoiding overeating before and after drinking.
I think my plan worked a little too well though, I had a small plate of Moroccan cous cous before I left and forgotten that all important rule, don’t drink on an empty stomach. My stomach was not as full as it needed to be for drinks with the girls, I’ll have to strike some sort of balance as it’s my hen night in a few weeks and I can’t have a repeat of last night!
On the plus side, I’ve noticed some positives this weekend:
- My skin has cleared up, to the point that it’s practically glowing!
- My teeth and gums feel fine, they haven’t felt this fine in a long time, big smiles!
- I still fit into my clothes, I was beginning to panic about gaining weight but I’ve managed to stay the same size, and the bulimia monster has stopped telling me I’m a fat mess.
I’ve managed to get through today by eating small amounts of the food my hangover is craving, veggie sausage and egg on toast, one bag of hula hoops and a hot chocolate…the healthy eating has been vetoed today!
I’ll get back on the healthy track tomorrow, I’m pleased I didn’t binge though.
