Where to start?

I have been sat here for quite a while, staring at a blank screen, as I didn't know where to start and still don't. I feel ashamed to be writing my true feelings, that others will read, but you know what, I feel like this is helping in my recovery, being open with others. Letting others read my blog, letting others see my true feelings. Letting others see that life isn't always as it seems. I just hope people don't judge me through reading what I am going through. Yes I am struggling at the moment, but you know what I am trying my hardest to beat this!

So i'll start...


Yesterday was a really good, positive and successful day! Because I am not working at the moment, I suggested to my husband we go out for a drive after dinner. Not long after the journey started, I become very upset. After a good cry, my husband asked me "What has happened that made you upset?" I didn't answer, but I sat there for a while trying to think of what it was...

It turned out that earlier that evening, my husband didn't eat all of his dinner, but I did! I was beating myself up about finishing my dinner?! And then I had a yoghurt and some chocolates after... I want this mentality to go! I want to be in control of my eating! I want to be able to enjoy my meals, and finish my meals if I am hungry and not be beside myself, if others around don't finish theres!

After realising why I was so upset. All those horrible, cruel thoughts came flooding in. I'm fat, I'm ugly, I'm worthless, I'm never going to beat this and these feelings + thoughts that I have?

It left me feeling exhausted! So exhausted that we came home and I went straight to bed, to watch some TV. After a while I became more relaxed.

It amazes me how I can be on such a high, being positive with everything in my life, appreciating everything that I have in my life, then like a switch everything can turn into a dark place. A dark place, where I want to hide from everyone, eat lots and inflict pain on myself. It's like I don't have control of my feelings. And this is something that really upsets me.

But you know what?! Today, I am going to try my hardest to remain positive and do some house chores, to keep me busy.

This can't beat me! I am one strong lady! And only I can beat this :-) xxxxxxxx

My tattoo I had a couple of months ago, I am finding myself looking at it a lot more lately!

I need to believe anything is possible! I have the POWER!
