Well I went for my first hospital appointment with a diabetes doctor today.The doctor said I should be on medication but I must go to my own doctor and he would prescribe probably metformin..I had a long chat about my eating disorder and felt quite positive.As shes not an eating disorder doctor she found it difficult but I actually learned quite a lot from her. I came awsy with magazine called 'your guide to Type2 diabetes' which I'm going to start reading when I get into bed.I'm pleased to tell you all i've still managed to refrain from making myself sick. It's been over 2 weeks now and I've never gone this long before.I want to say i think I'm over it but I can't just yet as it's still early days and I do feel very tempted some days but darren (my partner) seems to know and he takes me and diesel (the dog) for a walk or suggests we go shopping,anything to get my attention away from the bathroom!!!!.As I said earlier,I feel positive and I feel proud of myself for getting this far
I'm only taking tiny steps now as my expectations at first were far too high..I'm eating chicken breast with my vegetables some days and I even ate kippers the other day (I only ate about a quarter.of the portion).and really enjoyed them even though they were repeating on me for the rest of the day!!! Without you people out there that have given me the determination and willpower I could never have done this.Ive had my eating disorder for over 38 years and could never talk to anyone about it as I didn't have anyone to talk to.My ex husband knew about my eating problems but just let me get on with it,as long as his dinner was on the table when he got from work he was fine!!.The only person around me who cares Is Darren, He deserves a medal for taking care of me like he does,he's my."diamond geezer"and I'm not afraid to tell the world I love him..Thankyou everyone and I'll keep you updated,I couldn't have got this far without you x x x
