"Somewhere, Over the Rainbow..."

Well!

I am back from seeing the nutritionist.

First of all, she determined from my food diary (demn me for being so religiously honest about it) that I was eating around nine-hundred calories a day, something I am now expressly forbidden from. It's more than twelve-hundred or else. Also I'm to cut back on my exercise, or else add more variety. I'm forbidden from dieting. I'm forbidden particularly from anything to do with WeightWatchers. She said I was scaring her at points.

I'm to keep a food diary again for the next month; she's looking for a therapist for me, if she can find one she trusts.

I've promised before I went to see her that I'd do what she said, so I must--do as she's said, I suppose. So I'm now required to eat fruits and carbohydrates again. I'm to try and get more variety in my vegetables, although she's pleased with those, if nothing else. I am not allowed to treadmill three hours a day ever (my feet, at least, appreciate that--Mum says I'm to start wearing shoes when I treadmill, too, or I'll have arthritis at twenty-five and no arches).

And she gave me her telephone number, and a list of guidelines, and kept telling me that I looked fine--

so right now, all I'm trying to do is maintain my weight and get my metabolism to go steady again. I'm not allowed to try to lose weight. I'm just to get my sanity back.

(so that someday I can look in mirrors again)

And--I see her again in a month, I suppose.

...I suppose this means I'll go have breakfast now. I might just wait for supper, though.

EDIT: Oh! And she said I'm too pale, and also that I have to start taking my vitamins again. So I am going to go and try to find them. I think they're still in my suitcase from going to Sewanee.

Sanity's good. Yes. (In moderation of course. ;)) Oh, lovey--

*hugs much*

Fruits and carbohydrates are my favorite foods! I'm glad you can eat them again. ^^ Get excited about it! Bread is awesome.

You've been treadmilling barefoot? Eep. O_o

And sanity is always a good thing, especially for a Soujin. :)

(also I mailed your tickets today. ^_^)

Eating right is good!-- *hypocrite, hi, but hopefully not for long*

Mmm, vitamins. I used to take Flintstones vitamins when I was wee. They were yummy. :D

[bewareofitalics]

Yay food! Eat and be happy and healthy! *twirls* *...and then goes to the dining hall and attempts to follow own advice :P*

Good. You need to listen to the nutritionist and do what she says. She knows what is good for you. (and at this point, I think you have an eating disorder and need therapy, so I hope she finds you a shrink soon and you listen to the shrink, too)

Food is a grand, grand thing, Miss Soujin. And gluttony isn't even really a Sin -- it was on the list of Virtues, but they had an executive mix-up and it ended up on the wrong pile. Such a tragic tale. ;____;

Be healthy.

*slightly! late! comment!*

...She's right, you know. She is. You can't do this to yourself -- you can't lose weight if you're not eating healthily, and it's not healthy to not eat enough, and.

*clings* Be well, please?

-- I know I already commented about this over AIM, but-- I'm glad. I'm not glad you're not as well as should be, obviously, but I'm glad that there's something to do about it, and someone to help. She sounds quite nice, actually, and that's always good. Fruits and carbohydrates are terribly healthy, you know. -- But you do know. So. So I shall stop being annoying now.

*pounces* And I have been entrusted by your nutritionist to make you eat like a normal person. -- How scary is that?

I hope the therapist helps you. Or anyone, really. I had - anyway, I think I had an eating disorder. But I'm too bloody good at keeping secrets, so it was ages before anyone noticed. I don't know what to say, sorry. I'm afraid I'll upset you.
