My eating disorder is in full bloom but I'm hoping the bloom will soon be fading. I can be much more analytical about it these days. If I weren't eating, I surely would be drinking! Which is worse? Eating is probably less expensive but the emotional toll is very similar!

Finished one pj and began work on another. Today I will dismantle the turkey and make soup and sandwiches. Hope to finish the other pair of pjs today and maybe even get out for a bit. We'll see.

I know I must be good to myself and sitting quietly or doing things I enjoy will be good for me. Don't know if I'll go to the meeting where much of this discouragement began last week. We'll see.

Good to talk to Denise on-line and that she's doing better.

Peace!

Mom,
I think your analysis on overeating and drinking may be suspect. I have heard Marines make similar arguments over what caliber of round they would prefer to be hit by. I prefer not to be shot altogether! So I would say don't drink or overeat. I know that is easier said than done but you have been doing so well with practicing cessation from alcohol I know you are strong enough to beat this other demon as well.

Appreciate yourself! You should know well that we appreciate you here. keep in mind that those folks at the meeting have zero power unless you give them power.

Laugh! and laugh hard. it is up to you to persevere brightly!

Love
Jordan
