I hope that your next appointment goes better.<br /><br />Is there a reason why you want to do the Slimfast stuff specifically? You could make a nice healthy sandwich or something that has the same amount of calories but satisfies you more and doesn't put you in such a strict diet/deprivation mentality about it. I already put out my views on it in a previous comment, so I won't rehash, but truly you deserve to enjoy the holidays with your family without letting that black cloud of ED thoughts/behaviors linger over you.Cammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181004571609998125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780058410537977838.post-76244113772689520942009-12-08T05:24:16.036-08:002009-12-08T05:24:16.036-08:00Do not start the slimfast crap.

I agree with everyone's feedback and just wanted to add my support. I know when I was at the bottom in my recovery (not that you're at the bottom, but I mean at the end of your rope, depressed in recovery) I didn't feel strong, or worth it. It is SO MUCH EASIER to go back. I was jealous of those who went back while I struggled both mentally and with body image. But each day it will get a little easier. (Not all days! Especially like the one you had today.) But if I just don't throw up just this one time, it will be a victory for me. If I just sit for 10 minutes, and take a breath. And think about why I'm putting myself through this torture (of recovery) and know that it's worth fighting for. You don't need slimfast. (hug) And if you keep going with eating and keeping going with fighting the food battle with yourself and sitting with it(ahhh!)(despite the "extra" weight you gained). maybe your body will realize that you aren't going to starve it anymore and will drop the extra weight because it won't need to conserve "just in case". I love you no matter what size you are. And I definitely don't think you are fat, overweight, etc. <br /><br />And then... I hate dentist appts. I have never had cavities, etc. (I am scared of the bills!) But I am glad you have a kind dentist. :)Keelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468076434968691018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780058410537977838.post-67589561932469856382009-12-07T15:27:35.008-08:002009-12-07T15:27:35.008-08:00Arhh i hate dentists, i just get worse with them a...Arhh i hate dentists, i just get worse with them as i get olderJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13752799427675757076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780058410537977838.post-90435004596475803942009-12-07T12:42:57.405-08:002009-12-07T12:42:57.405-08:00I had a friend who went in to get her wisdom teeth...I had a friend who went in to get her wisdom teeth removed and she had a panic attack and had to reschedule. I don't know if that makes you feel any better, but you aren't alone!<br />I myself am avoiding the dentist. The last time I went I had not yet begun purging and I am scared. Which is awful because I probably have even more of a reason to go now. <br />Dentists are scary! The nitrous is kind of fun, though :P<br /><br />I hope you can come to peace with your body. I really wish it for everyone. I wouldnt recommend slim fast, but I can't put myself in your shoes any more than I can tell you what's right or wrong. Although, if it is true that the FDA did some recall on it as someone posted then I'd say...don't do it!! <br /><br />And go see that movie, Fantastic Mr Fox, it's laugh inducing. Laughter is THE.
