George came by this morning with a breakfast plate from his mother. On it was a heaping helping of scrambled cheese eggs, four buttered biscuits, and four pieces of Clark Brother’s sausage. “It’s good, isn’t it?” George asked grinning. George loves for me to brag on his mother’s cooking. “Your mother could make cardboard taste like Filet Mignon,” I told him hungrily eating in front of the TV. George will also often bring me a bag of burgers. I guess he realizes I can’t pay for it myself and it would be a treat, and it is. I very much appreciate it.
Mom brings me two meals a week. Monday and Tuesday nights. Dad gets her to do this to put weight on me and as a treat as well. Friday, Helen brings a plate and I usually get to pick what we eat. I call Helen’s plate my three vegetables for the week. Have you ever noticed I don’t eat many vegetables when I posted my grocery list last week? I need to eat more. I eat lots of fruits though.
I saw a picture of me from Christmas the other day and I looked gaunt. I am in a size 36 jeans and I have never worn below a size 40. I’ve gained ten pounds since Christmas though. Dad says I look so much better. I have this phobia though of being fat again and it works on me. I want to go back to my old habits of purging and not eating. We will weigh me next week and I hope to weigh 185 to get dad off my back. Let’s hope I can keep it at that weight without losing it again. C’est le vie.

Wish I had that problem!! Fruits are good too, lots of fiber!
Kristi,
I cheat losing weight. It is not that my metabolizism is so healthy. I binge and purge and thus lose weight. Oddly, I read about bulimia in People magazine and that's where I got the idea to start. I wanted so badly to be thin.
I love my apples! It is a ritual of mine to cut them up with a knife and eat each sweet morsel. Thank you for commenting!!!
i would encourage you not to pu rge if you want to watch what you eat eat more f ruits and veggies. it is hard to not go back to old h abits. i never did p urge b ut i did u sed to binge which is not healthy. i do not think 185 is alot of weight. do work on getting the weight back on and th en j ust contin ue to eat well. i had to smile when you mentioned george grinning and wh at being sober has done for him. liz

Good advice! I will heed it. You should see George now compared to the old George. He is like a different man.
