Turned the Corner .....at last!!
Just wanted to give you a quick update on how I have been doing. Since I last blogged I have hit rock bottom but now I am doing better than ever. I've had a busy couple of months running around after everyone and neglecting myself. My father-in-law hasn't been too well so hubs is spending alot of time with him. I had an inspection at work (which I was so nervous about) but it went really well. Two weeks ago on Saturday, I ate chocolate all day. The the following days hubs confronted me and asked me was my bulimia back. Then I said it was and that it had never went really away. We had a really good chat and he promised to give me all the support that I needed. I decided then that I would go back to counselling and I've also had a session of hypnotherapy (which incidently is so much like Pete's Relaxation and Transformation!) I also have completely cut out sugar and chocolate as I felt these triggered bingeing. I have not binged or purged in 11 days which is fantastic!! I feel so much better. I am eating three good meals per day -all natural foods and stopping when full, I am drinking my 2 litres of water per day, I am being as active as possible. I am trying not to think too much about Christmas at the moment and taking one day at a time. Christmas can be a difficult as there is so much food around. I hope this blog gives some hope to those who maybe are struggling at the moment. I struggled for a long time but now I can see no reason why I cannot continue living my life like this.
Big hugs to you all xoxo

You blogs always remind me of my issues, sure you have said the same about mine in the past
I have had bulimia on & off for 15yrs - it is my control
When things are out of my control, it is the only thing I feel I can control
This programme has helped me understand my triggers & distraction teqniques
Just because I have been like this for 15yrs, does not mean I have to be like it for life. I always assumed I would
I realise now there is no magic cure, to wake up & never think of bingeing again
It will take more than 6 months for my body to get used to being healthy
My hubby does not really understand, he tries.
I hope your hubby gives you all the support you need
Keep blogging, we are all here for you
You have come a long way
Keep doing the best you can, what doesn't break you can make you and it will
Take care and keep in touch
Pete
