Venting my Concerns

Rate this Entry
i'm definitely an overeater, and checking my weight each week. it's hard struggling with ED for nearly 8 years...it's hard being raw or even vegan when your housemates aren't. It's a struggle to keep healthy...

I live in transitional housing with 20 females..it's a place for those who don't have a permanent residence. we stay there anywhere from 3 months to a year, while trying to get back on our feet.

I have no control over what gets bought. I'm afraid to buy vegan food because someone will eat it...without even asking. The

I just got hired for a new job, and I know I must move away from those people and their unhealthy dietary habits. I lost 15 lbs in my first two weeks there only to gain some of it back the following week.

Due to my new job, I'll be eating out a lot (vegan food only). When I'm out and about, I don't eat nearly as much. Trouble starts when I get home...then downhill from there.

Once I move out on my own, no more meat products, will transition myself gradually back to raw foods. Right now, I'm lucky if I can get an orange or a kiwi to eat.

I'll be very thankful when I move to more peaceful surroundings. There's a lot of unsafe things going on...and management isn't really doing much about it. I'm a nice, peaceful and sensitive person.

I can't tolerate anyone in that house anymore. I stay to myself and very rarely talk to anyone.

I just want to be by myself at this point. Alone, no roommates...just me. Free to do what I want, whenever I want.

    could you get a small mini fridge and throw a lock on it so that other people don't get into your food? It would give you a small amount of control at least?

    I'll be hoping that you get into more stable and safer living circumstances soon. Do keep us posted!

    we're not allowed to have any appliances in our rooms. management would have a fit if I brought a fridge in.

    i am very hopeful that i'll be out of there soon. already people are beginning to leave due to what's been going on in the house (drama, arguments, people bringing in unwanted guests, etc).
