Hmmmm...I'm bored. I should probably study more for the stats test I have tomorrow, but I don't feel like it right now. I have an appointment at 3pm with my dietician up here. I don't feel like going. By now I know we're just going to talk about the same stuff we talked about last week. It gets pretty old. But hey, I guess it's something to do. Then at 5pm I have a Gamma Beta Phi meeting (woohoo....NOT!) and at 6pm there is this thing in the student union I might go to. It's Eating Disorders Awareness week here, and the wellness center is putting on different things each day. Tonight there's a girl coming to talk about her anorexia and how she recovered from it. I thought it sounded pretty interesting. Hey, maybe some of her advice will even be useful! Also a girl in 2 of my classes (who has had an eating disorder before and i sorta talk to sometimes) told me she was going to go to some of them.
Yesterday I got this book--its by Natalie Grant and its called The Real Me. It's named after one of her songs. So far I really like it. I saw it and just had to get it. That is one of my favorite songs by her. Well, all of them are really good, but it just basically hits the nail on the head for me. She has suffered from an eating disorder as well, and I just feel like she is singing that song about me. The book is about finding he woman God wants her to be and her struggles with self esteem and her eating disorder. Sometimes I feel so guilty for being like this, depressed and having an eating disorder. I feel so selfish-I have so much to be thankful for. There is no reason for me to be depressed. And thats something that is so frustrating. I just don't understand why I am like this. Compared to a lot of people I have things great. It all got put in perspetive last night at my SAO meeting. When we were going around and telling our prayer requests, I realized how greatful I should be for my life. There are so many people out there without families, homes, jobs, the opportunity to go to school, or their health. Anyways, I've managed to waste time until my appointment, so I must go now.
