It's been a tough week, physically ( I had a fall) and mentally ( too many things going on/ people to deal with) but we arrived at the caravan late on Friday evening, just the 2 of us.
Peace at last.
Yesterday, I had a 10 minute stroll to the sea and back, and a gentle amble around town. I still look like I'm under the influence when I walk, but it's improving. Although the exhaustion isn't anywhere near as bad as it was, I was flagging by the time we got back in the car.
I actually cooked yesterday, making a vegetable packed sauce. When I look back at how I used to make almost everything from scratch, and make bread, cakes, biscuits and jams it feels a bit pathetic to say I cooked a sauce, but an eating disorder is a thief and robs you of a normal life.
My husband had spaghetti and meatballs with lots of cheese sprinkled on it. I had a much smaller portion, and had bagged salad, tomatoes and cucumber with it. I enjoyed the salad, and forced down most of the spaghetti and meatballs.
I'm trying to do better, whilst taking the mega doses of vitamin D, and the high strength B12. My swollen tongue is starting to look more normal ... it had become so large that it had teeth marks in it as it was squashed into a too small space.
I cooked mushrooms on toast for my husband this morning, and I had strawberries, Greek yoghurt and a sprinkle of muesli.
I had ham and salad bits at lunchtime.
Tea/ dinner for me will be a Gym Kitchen curry. Yes, it's processed, but it's protein packed, flavour packed and I like it. As I've said previously, I'm not going to give myself yet another food hangup.
The weather here today is changeable, but we have Wimbledon, F1, books and Lego to keep us entertained, and we have each other, and peace and quiet if we choose it.




I'm glad you're taking a few days away from everyone but John. Little wins for your eating, so good for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks SAM. It's both a blessing and a curse as whilst we love being here together, it makes going back to reality more difficult. The food is still up and down but I'm taking the wins where I can, and they are increasing slowly.
