bobik - Thursday Apr 25, 2002 Weight:135.0          (Self prescribed)

Wow. So exciting to read the first comments and read everyone's entries all over again. Yesterday had gone. Doing my college stuff. Had a final meeting with a professor who I am doing research with.

Here's what I had yesterday.

- Slimfast shake (I had no intention really of doing the slimfast plan, but the other day I somehow ended up coming home from the supermarket with a can of Slimfast powder... They must have accidentally packed away someone else's purchase. Well, why let it go to waste, so I suppose I'll try it for a bit.)

- 1/2 cup of low fat Ricotta cheese with 5 Pillsburry mini-Biscuits. (They are like 2 regular size ones, so it's not too much, but I should have had something healthier instead, I suppose)

- a green apple - 2.5 liters of water. -went to a greek diner for dinner and had small greek side salad 1/2 gyro a few baked fries

Came home feeling good about the fact that I had not overeaten. This rarely used to happen.

Then everything went downhill... I finished off the rest of the gyro and had a large portion of icecream... And well.......Did I mention before, unfortunately I am a college student struggling with bilimia. God, I hate myself so much. I was oh so good for most of the day. Nights are my worst enemy. It's soooooo hard not to eat at night! Most of my classes start about noon, so I am usually up till 1-2 in the morning. And late meals are my worst enemies. It's those darn things that lead to my binges. Also, I try to not be home alone too often and stick around on campus to do my work. It's easier, cause I never throw up away from home... Another thing that I try to do is wait 10-15 minutes before I reach for second portion when I am tempted to binge... But that's easier said than done. That is really my number one goal. When I don't binge I don't throw up...

So that's my goal, I suppose.... I wish. Here are my goals for the next month... in order.

(1)Finish all my college work (a 10 page separate list of its own)

(2)Find a job as a computer scientist in this awful economy

(3)End bulimia

(4)Start exercising

(5)lose weight.

I honestly wish I got kidnapped by aliens for a month and came back when this is all over.!!!! Damn... denial is the best medicine. This stuff goes easier when I don't think about it or make lists.

Well... except for the slip at night, I had an otherwise very good eating day. And my weight is finally on the move. It's been sort of balancing between 137 and 136. But this morning it's 135. Yay.

Comment left by Iti2 on 04/25/2002: Hey! Thanks for your comment...I am also still in school, waiting to finish an Int'l Bus and Mkt degree. My top weight was 145 and I have never been able to loose the wait until I joined Diet Diaries. I'm glad that we have similar goals...and as for the boyfriend problems, you sound lots stronger in that respect than me! I need to roughen up! My email address is PCREDS77@aol.com and my IM Screen name is PCREDS77. I am usually on during the day and late nights. Feel free to email me or IM me. Talk to you soon and good luck =)


Comment left by MichelleP on 04/25/2002: Hi,

I had a question... Do you belong to any type of support group for the bulimia? Maybe something like that would help. I could list a million things you can do to avoid eating at night , but I bet you can to. I have never had bulimia, but I think most of us have many issues as far as overeating and not being in control. I wish also that I could say something that would sound great and wonderful but am at a loss. Trust me, LOL for me at a loss for words is a first! If you ever want to chat on line I have aol IM me or email me! I have 2 really big shoulders and make a great listener!! Take care and take it easy!
