  1. I'm back

    but I'm gonna lay low for awhile. I've gone NC with some toxic peeps and am feeling SO much better. Still working on some crazy crud with other peeps in my life, but last night was the 1st time in about 12 years I went to bed with NO stress. I had forgotten what that feels like. I was sitting in a chair. I said to myself "Wow. I can't believe I am sleepy at 6pm!" but then I realized that I wasn't sleepy-I was just RELAXED.
    Of all the changes I have been working on for the last ...

  2. It's a done deal.

    I was able to secure an out of district placement for one of my children with ASD/PTSD. I have been fighting this battle EVERY DAY since January. DCF became involved, they considered removing my other children, etc. etc. It has been very very stressful and of course, true to form, I gained 20+lbs (again). The danger here has been escalating, along with the stress, and workload of caring for him 24/7 and keeping my 3 other children safe from harm, but now there is light at the end of the tunnel. ...

  3. 2+weeks on juice.

    This has gone surprisingly well. I shared with dh what Jen said in her blog re: "One is too many and a thousand is never enough." I think he *really* got it. He talked to me for almost an hour about what it is like to live with food addiction. I don't know if he GETS it, but at least he is an ally.
    Last night and today I have had a slight sinus pressure and I feel a little extra tired. I did notice that I have been sleeping like a baby tho. Sleep has been an issue with me for almost ...

  4. It's been done.

    I probably won't be on here for awhile. Stuff took a *really* scary turn tonight. I plan to keep feasting-if I can. Last time I had no access to fresh food, nor the energy to make it once I got home each night at 10pm. But eating fast food at a time like this just makes me fogbrained and lethargic. Hopefully this time people will take us seriously. I just don't know...

  5. got on the scale

    down 10 lbs. Not weighing regularly, but it has been about 10 days or so and I am shrinking much faster than I had hoped. I know that sounds weird, but I'm not fasting for weight loss. I have been INCREDIBLY busy since I started this and I know my juice intake is not where it should be. I'm getting 1/2-3/4 gal/day. I am going to try to up it to slow weight loss. Over all, I feel pretty good.
