it's back...
Last night as I was getting ready for bed I felt sleepy and relaxed. As I lay down, all of a sudden I started to feel wired. weird..but whatever. Pretty soon I could feel the waves of anxiety and nausea. My first thought was still...am I getting sick? still, I didn't let it panic me further. I just continued to breathe through it and ignore it. I figured if it wasn't anxiety and I was getting sick I would find out in the morning. At some point, I did finally fall asleep. I feel a little tired today, but otherwise ok. I was happy that I didn't even consider taking extra meds. This is the first really bad attack since I went on this diet. I know I am very unhappy with life overall right now and it may be getting to me. Maybe that's all this was.
I never thought I would say summer break is too long but I am starting to get a little stir crazy at home and really want this last hard semester to get started so I can put it behind me. After three years sinced I moved back in, I feel like we are right back to where we were when I moved out. He is irritating me and I am doing my best to ignore it and get through each day. Luckily, it turned out his dad needs help this weekend so I got out of going to that bbq after all. He did comment that he wanted to reschedule with them before I start back to school and I just didn't really say anything. I can see his wheels turning while he is trying to influence me. He started talking about my inviting my friends over for a bbq. I just said ok so he would drop the subject and let him think I will invite people over. I have learned my lesson inviting my friends over. I find it embarassing when his speech starts to slur. I don't want anyone to come over unless he promises to be stone, cold, sober...which if I asked would only start a fight. He does not like the progress I have made on this diet( probably because he hasn't tried at all) so he has started to make comments about it. He used to never want breakfast, I was always the breakfast girl. Now he suddenly is trying to plan weekend breakfasts. I try to fast until noon on the weekends. I find it much easier than the weekdays where I am bored at work. He says...oh I forgot, you are trying to starve til lunch. I just said Yep. Then, he makes comments like I'm trying to get skinny so I can find myself a better man....ugh, whatever. It's true, I am very happy with how I have changed my life. Although I may never again have the stomach of a 20 year old, no one is going to ask me when the baby is due anymore.
I feel lonely a lot but that is to be expected. Most of the time I prefer to be alone anyway but sometimes I wish for something more. I'm sure it is a product of all the books I read. There's a reason they call it fiction after all. TGIF
