Day 3

Today is my third day purge freeI know it doesn't sound like a lotAnd millions of people around the world manage to go their whole lives without purgingBut to me This is hugeI haven't gone a a whole day without purging in yearsI shit you notThey say a million mile long journey starts with a single stepAnd often that first step is the most difficultI knew that if I went ahead with this piercing Then purging was just out of the questionI looked after my nose ring very carefully And managed not to let it get infected I'm sure oral piercings are more likely to infect And I'm sure rinsing it in stomach acid and regurgitated food is not very good for itSo I've had to change my eating habits No binge food Which is a shame on one hand But a relief on the other My portions are smaller And to begin withI am avoiding very filling foods like pasta and rice and potatoesHopefully i can introduce those foods at a later stage Today for example Is Mother's DaySo we are cooking at mums requestShe opted for beef stir frySo I will have a small portion of that I can't lie Over the last few days There have been times when I found myself heading to the bathroomOut of pure habitI've had to really be aware And physically stop myself from purging I miss the relief I get from purging The empty feeling I swear I feel full all day nowBut I'm sure I'll get used to it
Anyway I'm loving my new piercing And loving people's reactions to itI went to mass this morning with my Mum and my neighbour I got more than a couple of funny looks But that's okIt's funny to me
Below are some close up photos So you can see it better In the first one the bar looks crooked But it's actually the way I'm holding my mouth Not the barWhat do you think???
