Thankyou for taking time to read my posts.i'm going to get my slow cooker out and try it. I'm so desperate.my boyfriends cousin died 3 wks ago from diabetes and hes so scared its going to happen to happen to me.i need to do this for us both x xif your issue is that you the way you get your nutrition is to eat the same stuff every day for days on end, then how about you try this
Get the biggest pot you can find, buy some meat with fat on it and bones - eg lamb shanks, throw in all the vegetables you can find - spinach, kale, cabbage, mushroom, onion, tomato, cauliflower , green beans, broccoli ( basically if it grown above ground and its green its great.- ( exclude below ground vegetables especially parsnips and potatoes) add in some olive oil and some butter , vinegar , salt and pepper, simmer the mixture for three hours. Put the whole lot in your fridge, if you microwave a portion of that three time a day for three week things then you will be getting pretty much all the nutrients you need, and your compulsive behaviour at doing it won't damage your health further.
If you got used to that then you could simply switch to another type of meat the next time - pork, lamb beef and maybe start mixing it up by adding some spices, each time you would still be eating the same food all the time, except that this time that "same food" would be a nutricious mix of the good stuff instead of something that is not giving your body the nutrient it needs.
I don't have an eating disorder, but I have found doing the above invaluable in both trying to bring down my blood sugars and losing weight because it means I always have a snack handy which is both good for me and tastes really nice that I can simply warm up a spoonful if I feel the need to eat. I make my stew at the weekend, then pretty much eat it all week - I mix it up a bit so sometimes I take half a cup without any of the meat and add water to turn it into a "cup-a soup", sometimes I take it with some meat and add cream to make a very filling stew, sometimes I add a bit of wine, sometimes some different vegetables - eg cauliflower and butter mashed .
so you could see if you can do the same thing and gradually get better at eating a bit more variety.
I hope that helps !
then mayb graduating to eating the stew with some freshly done vegetables - eg sprout on the side.
Thankyou for reading my posts.this site is truly amazing and for once in my life I dont feel alone in this.ive been in a very dark place for so long but I'm now beginning to see the light.i have so far to go but I hope with every bone in my body that I can do this.I cant remember the last time I felt happy but now I do.i know I'm only on the first rung of a very long ladder but its better than not being on the ladder at all x x xI think you can do it, give it a try. Your boyfriend will be so pleasedAs will we all. in the end no matter where we start from we all need to do what we can to fix things and I'm sure you can too ( hugs)
Well done honey - you're an inspiration! And watching those BGs dropping bit by bit will give you even more strength and determination.Well, its 04-10am. I'm still awake unable to sleep because I have eaten (yesterday) I have feelings of nausea (not vomitted which is a plus) but why on earth o havd these feelings I'll never know but I'd love to find out as I need some sleep.i try and close my eyes but all I see is the food bulging away jn my stomach! I pray that I can do this but its just so hard.at this precise moment I feel a strong urge to eat something like icecream then I can vomit and feel better,but I'm not going to because ive made up my mind I can do this and if it means sleepless nights then so be it !! Its got to be better than making myself sick and I can always catch up on sleep anytime x
Stick with it sweetheart. You can do this, and we're all rooting for you! Big hugs xxOh my days this is hard.after being awake all night I must have dropped asleep around 6-30am and woke at 8-45 am which has knocked my day out of synch.i tested after I'd been washed and its 18-9 !!! I washed my hands and retested but the result was the same
I feel fed up,unhappy,and again feel like giving in.but I wont.todays a new day and I will eat what I can when I can.i think I'm expecting too much,after all it was only one meal and no vomitting.ive just gone back to the start of the ladder.i'm now going to eat my egg,much earlier than yesterday but can then try maybe veg or even some chicken later today.i'll let you know how it goes and hope I can rid myself of feelings of failure.i just would like a day with proper results but I know that will come in time
Maybe I do need metformin as my doctor suggested but hes waiting until monday when hes spoken to the dietician at the hospital to make sure he can prescribe it with me having bulimia.x x
Thankyou so much x x

X x xYou are NOT failing. Every moment which passes where you are dealing with this, even if it doesnt work out as well as you would like, is a WIN. I am awed by your courage and strength. This is really hard stuff you are dealing with.
