[freakout its sadie]

how the hell do you resist temptations?
my dad just baked this delicous, wonderful double chocolate fudge moist CAKE! the most fattening thing ive ever seen in my life.

i want that cake so damn bad..but i know the consequences of what will happen if i take that first bite.

think real hard to yourself.
think about how nasty your body will become.
how hard it is to purge up that gunky shit.

i know it's bad for me but i always think really negative thoughts to myself:
"you're so worthless, you don't deserve to eat this and your boyfriend won't think you're sexy anymore."

If ur still that sick,ask ur family to keep certain foods away from u or not bring them in the house, that is if they kno about ur ED. And let urself have a lil if u can handle it or share a small piece with someone and make them sit w u. Tell them to not allow u to have more or leave them to go to the bathroom. Dont eat it or even taste it if ur hungry tho, thats just bad news bears.

usually i just avoid situations by going out, closing myself in my room and such. or ring a friend and do somethign to keep you busy from it. recently i've been quite lucky in the fact that whenever i see food i automatically think of the consiquences of eating it, so i just don't. i guess it's all about frames of mind.
i suppose though, if you find yourself REALLY wanting to try some, then wait till there's the last small piece, and offer to share it with someone, that way, you have no chance to eat more.

Get hold of some of Total 2% natural yoghurt. It is delicious, like sortof sweet, soft cheese. It only has about 2.0g of fat per 150g pot - it will sort out your sweet tooth and is crammed full of protein so it will fill you up asap.

My advice is to eat a tiny piece of cake (as in, just pinch a piece off) just so you can enjoy the flavour and then immidiatly go and eat something different which is a bit more healthy, this will get the taste out of your mouth and fill you up. Win-win - you get to taste the cake and benefit from good food. :)

It's so hard, I know =( My Dad does the same thing.. He comes home from having done the groceries, bringing out packets of chunky choc chip cookies and muffins and all that deadly crap that I crave.. And I burst my brains out at him.
We've come to set some guidelines to help me while I'm learning to deal with how to control these cravings though, thanks to my awesome psychotherapist... Maybe some might be useful to you.. Hopefully =)

1 - I do my own grocery shopping, meaning that I pick out healthy foods (mostly just fruit and natural type snacks), knowing that the kinds of foods that I crave are unhealthy for me and won't help me with my BED.
2 - Dad does his own grocery shopping, buys his own snacks, and keeps them to himself out of my reach.
3 - He gives me 1 snack a night, like a cookie that I can have with my nightly tea or something like that. I have the choice to eat it or say, 'no thanks, not tonight'.
4 - If there's something like cake in the house after a special occassion he portions it (wraps it up separately), even takes it to my nan's for her to keep in her fridge.
5 - I'm not 'allowed' to eat alone in my room or something like that. This is the hardest thing to do... But it really is so much easier to control yourself when you've got company.

I hope some of that might help somewhat >.<
Most of the guidelines are really kind of harsh / childish kinda, but it's just really what I need until I can teach myself to deal with it all myself..
