But the weeks are just whizzing by
A bit too fast for my liking
But as they say
Time waits for no man
Or something to that effect
Yesterday was Mothering Sunday
We got my mum a candle and a mug
As well as a little creamer and sugar bowl
We had dinner in the house
Then watched a movie
I hate Sunday's
But as they go
It was a nice one
Then up this morning for my appointment at nine
My sister was with me
As she had an appointment too with Nice Woman Doctor
I went to check in
The receptionist told me that my usual doctor wasn't there
So they put me on Nice Woman Doctors list
I was disappointed that he wasn't there this morning
As I wanted to know what he thought of the piece of writing I gave him
But
That will have to wait until next week
Nice Woman Doctor called me in pretty much straight away
I followed her to her room
And took a seat
The first thing she said to me was that the strain has gone from my face
That I look more relaxed
And asked me how I was doing
I explained that things had improved since the last time I saw her a few weeks ago
I filled her in about the horses
The job I will start in May
And going back to meetings
She asked me how my food was going
I told her it was a lot better
And haven't purged in a few days
Today is actually day 5
I miscounted yesterday
The doctor filled out my script
And I went on my way
My sister also had an appointment with her this morning
Straight after me
So I headed up to the pharmacy
The usual pharmacist is back from maternity leave
I welcomed her back
And tried to make conversation
But she was so cold
Answering in me word answers
Anyway
I got my meds
And went back to my car to wait for my sister
In other news
My scale tell me that I have put on ten pounds since last week
I asked members of my family to stand on it to see if they were getting incorrect readings
For each of them
It gAve a misreading
My clothes also don't feel any tighter
And I don't think I look any different
So I'm thinking my scale is wrong
I mean
Is it even possible to put on ten pounds in a week?
I'm not so sure
But
To be honest
I don't mind gaining a little weight
I have a few pounds to play around with
And anyway
I would rather weigh a little more and feel good
RAther than be underweight and miserable
I don't even like the skinny, too thin look anymore
I used to
I used to like stick arms and legs
A huge head on a tiny body
Big hollow eyes
Sunken cheekbones
Sharp collar bones and hip bones
Looking like death warmed up
I now prefer the curvy look
A bit of shape
With soft curves and a healthy glow
I like when I gave a bit of weight on
My boobs Are bigger
My thighs have shape
And my bum fills my jeans
There is nothing wrong in looking like a woman
A healthy and happy woman
Being severely underweight
Is wearing your pain on your body
Often times we can't find words to express how we feel
So we use our bodies to do it
No one who is living in an emaciated body is happy
I guaruntee you that
But I do wish that my weight would settle
It's pretty traumatic how my weight fluctuates so much
If it stayed in or around a healthy weight
Then at least I could get used to my body
The way it yo-yos up and down doesn't give me a chance to get used to my body at a particular weight
My goal weight in treatment was 54kg
Which just about puts me in the healthy range
I'm a bit off that yet
To be honest
I would be perfectly happy with that weight
And I think it's when I look my best
My weight has gone up to 60-62kg in recent times
And I'm not as comfortable at that weight
And I don't think it suits me
But in reality
Weight does not matter
The number does not matter
As long as I'm not drastically under or over weight
Then I am doing ok
I am ok
Also
I am loving my new piercing
And the reaction it is getting
I feel like I've been bitten by the bug now
And can't wIt to get another one done
Where?
I'm not quite sure yet
Maybe a few in my ear
Or my belly button
I do feel like I am living my twenties at the moment
When I was on my twenties
I was otherwise engaged
What with a raging opiate addiction
And a life threatening ED
So effectively I missed my twenties
And am now doing all the things I never did but wanted to do
It's fun
It's exciting
And I'm really enjoying it
So that it from me today
Happy Monday everyone
And see you on the next post....
