I have a borderline eating disorder. I've never admitted that to anyone and no one has ever noticed either

((Hugs)) have you considered talking to a professional? We are here for you!

Thank you, but no because it's not a typical kind...? I still don't really know what's going on I guess I've been ignoring it all these years...
My fitness pal actually brought it to my attention of all things...

Edit: I guess I am a bit worried now,
I need to pay more attention...

Sorry I didn't want to thread hijack, now I feel I have to elaborate. Basically I eat under 500 cals a day because there's a lot of food that I won't eat. I think about eating all day but I'm never interested or hungry enough to make anything so I have a coffee instead...same thing in the afternoon I make a drink until I can't stand it anymore then I only graze on healthy vegan type things and non gluten breads.

Remember when you pooped and it looked like a log? The quarters were mixed in there!!   
I have bump love for you

I have five brothers and lived in Ireland for seven years (age 11-17). My parents are Baptist missionaries and still live there. I despised every second of being there and was depressed as a teenager because of it. I have a very strained relationship with my parents to this day. I don't think they realize how strained it is.

I'm sorry do you have a good relationship with you siblings?

I spend my days fantasizing about finding my forever job, similar to what they would call a forever home for a pet. The fact that I haven't found it yet drives me nuts.

I've been out of the work force for 2 years, but I wonder if companies are designed for long term stays anymore?

I'm a teacher so I'd like to think I can find it eventually! The recession hit teachers really hard in our area so there are very few good jobs right. I would make more money bartending two days a week than what I get teaching at my job after I pay daycare!

I'm sorry. I always picture Ireland as being so pretty. I'm sorry that the complications of religion & family issues made it not nice at all.

I decided that I don't want to go to school to be a nurse anymore. I have always wanted to be in the medical field since I was little, but I've changed my mind. I'm a Certified Medical Assistant now but I've kind of had it. My heart isn't in it anymore. I think instead I want to be a yoga teacher and eventually open up my own yoga studio. But sometimes I feel like I'm just taking the easy way out. I don't know..

Why? You don't have to answer of course. I am just looking to go back for nursing. Can you do private nursing or hospice then yoga on the side? That way you get the "pay off" from your schooling but also get the job you want?

To be honest, I don't know why. This is fairly new though so it's very possible that I'll change my mind. I have a lot of obstacles in my way. One of which is my DWI, which I've learned is a big obstacle. It can still happen but it will make it difficult to get into nursing school. Some days I want to do it and some days I don't know if it's worth it. The money would be nice though ;-)

My mom used to travel all the time when I was little. My dad had no patience and I was absolutely terrified of him. He is obsessed with food and people finishing their food (he put himself through college & law school and would basically subsist on cans of beans for days at a time). He came from a horrific childhood and has no family now, so understanding his background has helped me come to terms with some of the things that happened when I was growing up.

I was so afraid of him that a lot of times I couldn't eat. I was scared of what he would do if I didn't finish dinner, so I would usually hide food in my napkin and put it under the table if we were in a restaurant.

I think it's a big reason I want to stay at home. I want to be with my children so I know exactly what is going on with them. My mom traveled so much and I felt so unsafe and unsure of what kind of mood my dad would be in. My stomach hurt during much of my childhood.

I have a good relationship with my dad now, but I made sure to marry a man who is the polar opposite of him. My husband would never lay a hand on my children and would never verbally abuse them either.

I've never told anyone but my husband any of these things. It was pretty bad when I was growing up .

I'm the middle of three kids (older brother, younger sister). 

I've always felt like I should have been an identical twin (and I have twin envy of people that are twins or have twins).  My mom said when I was an infant, I was really asymmetrical and when the doctors x-rayed me, I had a mass in my chest.  They figure I had absorbed a twin in the womb, and was still in the process of fully absorbing it.

I yearn for my single days.  I LOVE my children (please don't think that what I'm about to say means that I don't).  I really wish sometimes I was still on my own.  I wish I had never taken that voluntary demotion.  I miss my career.  I REALLY miss my career.  I miss being single.  I miss doing what I want, when I want.  I miss being carefree.  I miss being *skinny*.  I miss everything about just having my own space.

Oh, one more thing... maybe more of an FFC?

I love reading the "descriptions" on the tv listings for pornography.  They are REALLY funny.  One movie was called "Bodacious Bimbos" or something, and under the description part it said, "Masses of mouthwatering mammaries".  I almost died.  They're really worth a read!

I'm sorry for all of you that are suffering. >:D<

My first job was on a farm and the first live birth I ever saw was of goat twins.

I was 15 and part of my job requirement was to transport muck to a back lot using a golf cart. I'd never taken driver's ed or driven a car and I crashed that golf cart so many times that the farm changed the rules about who could use the golf cart.

It took me 4 tries to pass my driver's test.

thegoodpotato

@fabk @asbromle I'm the same with spiders!  And we get HUUUUGE ones here - temperate rainforest = big, big f-ing spiders.  They come into our creepy basement in the fall.  DH mooshes them with a sledgehammer (I think mostly so he doesn't have to get too close).  Gawd I hate arachnids SO MUCH.

1. I grew up on a horse farm. I was riding at 3 and spent all of my free time in a barn. Now I never even see a horse and it feels like a part of my soul is missing.

2. I won several awards for writing during high school. I never persued a career in the field contrary to all of the advice I received. I have major regret. I would've made a fantastic editor. May be surprising given the number of typos in my posts.

3. I live in suburbia. It's fucking suffocating.

I swear, I could have written number one myself!

Ah, thank you ma'am. And I understand about your dad. I had the same type of relationship with my stepfather growing up. I was really thankful when my mom divorced him when I was 13. I used to read 3 or 4 books a week because that's all I would do. If I made any noise whatsoever he would scream at me.
Although the only reason I was afraid to eat was because his food sucked. You can't serve plain white rice and dry, unseasoned baked chicken 4 nights a week to a southern kid. We like our spices.
I lost contact with him after they divorced and we move back to Louisiana and I really regret it. He was the only father I ever knew.

I probably sound like some kind of Stockholm syndrome sufferer, but he really is a good person. He basically came up from nothing, became something, and would do anything for us kids. He worked so hard to give us everything.

I just think that certain people maybe aren't ready or patient enough to have children and he is one of those people. We all survived and now have an extremely functional, wonderful family so we made it through.

Thank you ladies for all your support. I do realize now I need to talk to my Dr. I guess I never thought of myself as anorexic because I actually do eat and I'm also not painfully thin, I'm quite the opposite. I realize I have had a really poor body image my whole life. I bounce between a size 10-14. Thank you ladies for understanding and the support, it really means a lot to me!

Grasshoppers here. IF there's one on my front storm door, I will get back in my car and leave. 

Honest to goodness my biggest fear would be seeing a mouse in my car while driving. I would actually die. I would have a car accident. I know people who have had them in their cars and just the thought terrifies me.

@Bkuhman have you ever thought about getting your GED? I know you came from a rough family background and that probably made it hard to finish school, but you still deserve a good education. Also, I'm sorry your H responded that way. Fuck that noise!

I got a GED and got to walk across stage and receive a tassel at the GED ceremony back in 2011.

I'm like this with spiders. I'm utterly terrified. On a couple of occasions, there would be one in my car coming towards me. I don't know how I didn't crash but I always pulled over quick and jumped out and had someone else kill it. *Shudders*

I wish my mom and I were closer and I wish she was like a "normal" mom. When I think about the mom I hope to be its the opposite of her and I feel horrible for saying that.!

DHs grandma came across an artical in a local paper talking about the program and whatnot. We called and they had a spot for me. It's for young parents who dropped out and looking to get their GED. They watch the kid(s) two doors down and you go to your classroom and have lunch with your kids. They had a time you could play and read to your kid and they did parenting classes that I attended. It took 1 1/2 months to get my scores up and graduate. After that I got my work keys or whatever it is.... A card that some work places require.?? I'm not sure. I had a real graduation and invited his family and some of my co workers because the family I did talk to refused to come. I tell everyone I meet that's looking to get a GED to contact them. I loved it. They paid for you gas to get there each day and paid your enrollment fees for college and gave you a laptop for college and for each test you passed they gave you reward money (actual money). That paid you once you graduated and it was all free.

Yeah. Sadly it's only in Oconee county they were talking about closing their doors when I graduated. I heard about it and wrote a letter to the people in charge of the program telling them a little of my background and how I came to be a single teen mom in need of a GED and how it impacted my life for the better and how amazing the people who worked there were and how I hope they remain open so that they could continue to better other young parents lives so they can do better by their children. They are still open but the teachers I had have left and retired.

I had a cap but lost it when we tossed them in the air. Luckily, I had the tassel in my hand. It's on my rear view mirror. My manager and supervisor did my hair and makeup. The woman beside me is my old OB that delivered DD. I refer to her as my sister because we clicked over an emergency call I made when pregnant with DD and have been close ever since. There were many tears shed this day as I walked across stage and got to shake the director of the programs hand.

I drank from a bottle till I was 9 and I only switched to a glass bc my mom wouldn't put the chocolate milk in the bottle any more.
