Ok sweet people. I had a few emails from some very concerned people. It really is not a diet. I caught the really horrible stomach virus that has been closing whole school districts down around here.
I have anorexia. I will not, I repeat will not go on any diet that will rapidly remove weight from my body. I have a very hard time going on any diet for fear that I will lose control and go back to not eatting.
I am almost 5'7" tall. At one time I weighed 87 pounds. I looked like a holocaust survivor. When I gave birth to my daughter I weighed 155 pounds. 2 weeks later I was down to 100 pounds.
I am terrified of that happening to be again.
I can relate, I really can... I honor you for actually going out on a limb and being straight with yourself (forget about readers, yourself is most important)...
ReplyDeleteIn any case, that nasty virus that's going around is no joke.. I work in an ER, you don't have to tell me how prevalent it is lol. I really wish for the best for you, you're a strong yet sweet person.

I'll say a prayer.

You're in my prayers,sweetie. I know it's not easy. A girl I went to school with had an eating disorder and I remember how hard it was for her. Lots of love and if you need to talk I'm here. -Dawn-
ReplyDeleteWow Celeste, I learn more about you all the time. I had your "diet" figured out all along. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI knew you were sick. Didn't know about the "other" stuff. I think you sound like you've got it handled. Don't let this "bug" get into your head. It's just a "bug" you take meds, you get well. End of story. rich
ReplyDeleteStomach viruses can sure be rough! Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your journal for the first time today... saw that you too are a horse person :) Take care.

Celeste, bless you for bring this out. I had my own battle with this condition when I was in my late 20's. I got down to 110 and planned to lose more--my next immediate goal was 100. But I got pregnant with my third son and knew I had to eat for him. I know what you mean about the fear of a repeat. The sense of power you get from losing the weight is so strong; it is like you are using a drug. Since I really started devoting myself to my creative life, I've not had the desire to starve myself, even during those times when I've gained lots of weight, like I did just after my hysterectomy in 2002. I know what you're going through. Stay strong. You're a wonderful human being, a wonderful woman.
