*Holidays*
Okay so let’s see, where to start? So lately it has been a tough struggle for me and my eating disorder.I had stopped for a good while, probably about 9 months. I have been on and off with this for years and I was doing so good and then something hit me and I started purging again. I am stopping though this time for good. I can’t be doing that to my body. It’s just I am so impatient. But what made me realize that I needed to stop for good was that the other day it had been 2 days that I hadn’t gone to the gym and since I had last purged and I could only run for 20 mins tops and not do anything else without feeling like I was going to black out. Which is incredibly not like me. I usually am at the gym for an hour to an hour and a half. Bleh… another thing with the Holidays are all of the Holiday parties. How does everyone manage with them? Like what do you do when faced with all of the temptations at the parties? Any helpful hints? I’ve been not able to say no to the wine and cookies and all that bad stuff. It’s like I am completely fine during the day but then when night comes around it hits me. But besides all of the downer stuff of the holidays, good news… hmmm let’s see! I’ve been asked on several dates and stuff. I don’t know if I am ready for that just yet though. I need to work on myself first. Oh and I am leaving for PA in a couple of days to see my family! I am so excited about that! But okay how do I keep up with everything while I am there? Everyone drinks and my grandma makes amazing homemade food. I really am starting to dislike the holidays. If only times were simple like when I was a little girl and didn’t give a care. lol Okay well I feel like i’m complaining too much and that’s something I don’t like to do. So new subject…I saw Miley Cyrus the other day. She performed at my dads friends lawfirm party. It was pretty awesome! He always throws the best parties ever. Well, I hope everyone has the best holiday season ever! Good luck to everyone and all of their goals and I will keep everyone in my prayers over this season! Much love

Ooooooooo if my two girls (14&10) knew someone who saw Miley Cryus, they would be wanting your number so you could give them all the deatils.
To cut out the drinking and eating you have to selfish. What is in all the food and drink for you? You also need to set a great goals and each time you are faced with a situation, compare it against your goal. That said I will eat a great meal on Christmas w/o worrying how many weeks it will set me back. But then it is back to business.

Hi Chelsea, I can’t claim to understand what it’s like to have an eating disorder, but I am heading to the Keys for the Holidays, and that is such a party place. I will have my work cut out for me too, but I just have to remember that the temptation is there today, but the payoff is down the road. I have to decide what is most important to me. Let me know how it goes for you, and I’ll do the same. Sometimes it helps to just be accountable to someone, like having a workout partner. Good Luck, safe travels, and Happy Holidays!
