Ok had a huge fight with my other half where I was told yet again how selfish I am and the roll of the eyes when I say I can't lift a 50 lb bag of feed. I hid and sucked on a half an almond roca. ????????????????????. I'm scared of what this is going to do.. Tummy is talking and I feel like I'm about to learn about why this is a no no. Apparently I still use sugar as a drug. Why do I insist on punishing myself when I'm upset with others. Ugh

I've been single most of my life so I can't claim to know anything about the complexities of an abusive relationship, but I wanted to chime in to congratulate you for taking the first step for help. I imagine that it was extremely difficult, and you were brave enough to do it. Congratulations. I hope that you find the support you need and have people around you that truly recognize your worth (including yourself)!

Reality check! You are NOT being selfish. And I'm sorry to say that your significant other sounds like a major jack@ss. My husband didn't want me to carry my purse until I weighed it in front of him to prove that it weighed less than 15 lbs.

There are better love experiences in the world and you deserve one of them.

So, YES! Deal with your trigger in a healthier way. But PLEASE don't forget to deal with what is causing the trigger in the first place. No one deserve's to have their health disregarded in this way. Certainly not you!

Just because your "a big girl" doesn't make your guts and incisions big and strong. They are the same or even less strong than anyone else. This isn't about having grit, it's about ripping your guts open and spending 6 months in an LTAC after 100,000 dollars work of surgery. Chew his butt out!

So had a session with my new therapist. And we shall see how it Gos. I will tell you that the talking brought up food issues!
