"Don't take any risks today--the outcome will not be in your favor. Play it safe."

I finally started to believe that things were going to get better with my brother, but the past few nights have complicated everything even further. It started on Tuesday night when I was talking on the phone with my mom and I could tell that something was wrong and ( Read more... )

 Clear the air and communicate your feelings. They want to make things right.

How can it only be Tuesday? I am already so tired and it feels like I have been barely making it through all of this. I am beyond tired right now and I don't know what to do. I decided to take off tonight and not go work out, so that I can try to get semi-caught up on ( Read more... )

 "Some things that seem clear now will look different later. Hold off on long term plans."

It's so weird how life just keeps going, even when you feel like it should stop completely. That's how I kind of feel right now at least. After this whole incident with my brother, I have been forced to move forward while the rest of my family has put a hold ( Read more... )

 "Take your time, do your research and shop around. Is a big purchase truly necessary?"

*First off, I want to thank all of you that replied to my entry about my brother. It makes me feel so comforted that people are wishing us well! You girls are so amazing because you don't even know me in person and yet, you still care. I wish we could all meet in ( Read more... )

I am having to write everything for my journal in a word document right now because I have no Internet where I am. And it is driving me completely insane because everything I write is “misspelled” according to the spell checker. Anyway, I am so sorry for not posting in a few days. A tragedy occurred in my family and I haven’t had the strength to ( Read more... )

Some people like to push buttons--don't fall for the manipulation. Hold back.

I never realized how much exercise helps me look good. I didn't work out very much last weekend and my body definitely took a hit. My stomach lost almost all of its muscle, and legs aren't as tight. I ate a lot of chocolate yesterday, but I exercised and my stomach already ( Read more... )

 A meeting with a person from a different culture will prove how charming you are.

My last post definitely showed that I was a complete emotional wreck. My binge weight did come off, and as always, I over-reacted. Since I have decided that I am an emotional eater, I looked at some possible sources for my binges. The first one of course is boredom. I ( Read more... )

I don't know what to do at this point because every time I begin to feel good about the way I look, I ruin it by binging. I don't know how I started this habit of binging nearly every day, but it has to stop. I am above 135, which is really bad because I promised myself that I would continue with recovery as long as I stayed there or below. Above ( Read more... )

"There's no friend like an old friend. If you can do a pal a favor, don't hesitate."

Today has been like a breath of fresh air. I woke up to the sun shining and a warm fuzzy feeling inside. I realize that I have to go back to school tomorrow, but I am not completely dreading it. Amazing, right? This morning my mom and I went to pick my brother up ( Read more... )

"Somebody close to you needs a favor, but they might not know it. Help them out."

I am becoming so lazy these days, it's terrible. I think it's just because I am a senior and I have picked out the college that I want to go to, so I just don't want to do anymore homework for the rest of the year. I need to pull it together though so that I can keep ( Read more... )
