The Coffee Shop (7)

[Soulwings]

Lisa. I hope that things look up for you soon... and even if they are the "same old things," we don't mind hearing about them. So feel free to dump if you need to, okay? And I can understand why that would be a pet hate for you!! Wow...

Bec, I hope that you get better soon. Being ill is no fun at all.

Everyone gets lots of hugs today!

I am trying to study for my Nutrition Counseling & Ed course right now, but the computer is so distracting. There is a list of about 50 abbreviations that I have to memorize, and I suck at memorizing when I can't talk out loud. And I'm in the library so that is rubbish. I suppose I could go outside and talk to myself but it is freezing out there - in the fifties ('F). I stole J's fleece jacket to wear today... comforting. And warm. Yey for being warm.

Anyone want anything to drink? I just had a large coffee so I am going to pass on caffeine, but I think I'll grab some herbal tea and snuggle up in a squishy armchair with my medical terminology... you guys don't mind if I whisper stuff to myself, do you??

* Arnold snuggles with Lisa and Bec.

[Soulwings]

You don't have to leave, Bec.

* Arnold snuggles some more with Bec, 'cause he thinks that she needs some pandalicious snugglehugs.

* Soulwings fixes herself some herbal unwind tea and asks Bec if she would like anything to drink??

 

[Soulwings]

* Soulwings meanders in to see if anyone is around... fixes herself a cappucino and sits down to do some reading for school.

* Arnold is sleeping behind the potted palm.

* Soulwings sends Arnold over to snuggle with Katey.

Glad to see someone else that uses the coffee shop!! Seems like it's not as popular a place as it used to be. :-(

I've missed your posts. Am looking forward to reading about what's been up with you.

[Soulwings]

Yey for being around more. That's lovely!! It's been awfully quiet in this thread, although the other thread has been busy (as I am sure you noticed).

I am swamped with homework.

* Arnold is happy because Katey snuggled back!

* Soulwings finishes her lunch and then goes to sit in the window seat to wait for Jarrod to be ready to go... B&N and then picking up wedding rings!!!

How are you doing, Bec? and go for it, the corner can indeed be your new home.

* Soulwings fixes herself a cup of chocolate cinnamon coffee, and snuggles up in a squishy armchair to relax for awhile.

 

[beckybooiloveu]

*snuggles in the corner*

anyone have some sleeping tablets???? i need sleep!!! BUT CANT SLEEP!!!
ahhhh imma goin crazy...

how are you>?
(hugs)

 

[Soulwings]

Hmmm the loo is over in the corner, really nice and quiet too. So you don't need to leave the coffee shop at all. There's even some low-cal scones that are truly delicious.

Can I fill your water bottle for you? or get you some herbal unwind tea to help you sleep??

s I wish I had some sleeping tablets for you... I wish you could get some sleep the healthy way!! At least you are thinking of trying to take care of yourself, right?

How are you doing??

I am alright, I guess. Struggling with ED and bipolar, but trudging along. Really tired. I've been falling asleep between seven forty-five and eight-thirty at night... ridiculous... although I get up at six-fifteen.

[Soulwings]

Awww Bec. s I hope you managed to get some sleep... have you been able to eat anything, anything at all?

* Soulwings makes herself and Bec some chamomile tea...

* Arnold is falling asleep.

I will update in the other thread...

 

[nekorinchan]

hi, i'm new here...

chamomile definitely helps, currently taking it daily..

Currently, been battling this compulsiveness of getting up after 2 hours sleep at nite and eating even when im not hungry, sometimes to the point of binging......after that I'll resume sleeping

I know it's definitely not good for my health, and for others, I'm staying with my auntie, and it's bad to be constantly stealing her food (I've this habit since staying with others during my campus times)

I have managed to sleep early and hopefully even when I get up after 2 hours, it's still before 12am (an excuse I gave myself that anything before 12 is still not considered eating at odd hours)

Yesterday I slept at 9.30 pm, woke up bout an hour later, had half a bag of mini mooncakes. I knew I'm not hungry but yet the compulsiveness....but I'm glad I didn't go down for my next binge when I woke up at 4.40am.......I managed to hold myself back and I'm happy for this little compensatory victory

However, I also got this weird habit of food-pinching, I just wanted to try and get a taste but wouldn't be able to finish it, so the food will be 'spoilt' with my pinches, like the mooncake that day. My auntie confronted me why there are 'holes' in the mooncakes. I'm truly sorry that my selfishness to gratify my desires has caused much misery and worry to others. My parents are aware of this, but currently they are away on a trip, will be back tomorrow and I'm sure my mom will ask my auntie if there any 'weird incidents' when they are away. For sure, my auntie will let my mom know about the holes.

These late-nite attacks only happen when I'm sleeping alone. If there's someone else sleeping beside me, I won't have that urge to go down. Yesterday night, I told myself I need to imagine Jesus sleeping beside me, but still I gave in to the urge. Why?

Fyi, I'm also a recovering anorexic, previously I took only fruits...but now I'm introducing more meat to my diet, still selective and picky when it comes to food choices though...and still prefers sugar-free options. I don't exercise as much as las time, only limit myself to jumping jacks and taking stairs whenever I have the chance. I weigh myself only occasionally now and is more receptive to the weight gain. But sometimes, the fear still hits me when I noticed the shirts are getting tighter for me

Please pray for me and any advice is much appreciated. Thanks

 

[katey]

i want to hide i'm just going to collapse in the corner for a little while away from everything.

 

[beckybooiloveu]

[Soulwings]

Welcome, nekorinchan. I hope you find this board to be helpful. I see that you are new at CF too... so double welcome!! Hehe.

I don't have time to fully respond to your post, will do so later (am currently studying for a nutrition exam I have in two and a half hours). Oh, and there is a number screen so numbers typed cannot be seen... also, be careful with weights and calorie amounts - these numbers can trigger members, so please avoid them. Times, dates, etc. are fine.

Bec, Katey, Lisa, s to you all. How are things going??

* Soulwings gets herself some ginger tea with orange juice to help her sore throat feel better... she hates being sick!!

* Arnold snuggles with everyone... he is still sleepy and very hungry since there haven't been many bambooey treats around lately.

 

[beckybooiloveu]

*hugs april* i hope your exam went well!
