(Bea) and (Vicki's therapist) ... it is self assault. <BR/><BR/>For me the act of eating makes me mindless. Eating switches off my obsessive thinking machinery. The damage afterwards can be regarded as "assault", but assault that happened in a disassociated state. The damage has to be undescribable, but I cannot believe it is intentional. It is though I just cannot help myself, yet at the same time people see me as a STRONG person. Maybe this compulsion goes hand in hand with stubbornness, an attempt to control when others have always pulled my strings? Or perhaps it is much simpler than that, at one point of having too much of one food, I became allergic to it, like alcoholics become allergic to alcohol. So now I am craving substances I am allergic to. <BR/><BR/>Today I received my Kay Sheppard books, and will give it a good read. Took five days to get from Lexington, Kentucky (courtesy of Amazon) to Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. I believe there are huge winter storms in that region. Together with the inspiration from this wonderful blog from "freezing" Wyoming of the United States that makes it that much more providential and motivating to read. :>) arAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668796948874901630.post-83277205000715437442007-09-25T13:11:00.000-06:002007-09-25T13:11:00.000-06:00Magnesium for sore/tight muscles that make limbs g...Magnesium for sore/tight muscles that make limbs go to sleep.<BR/>www.mgwater.com<BR/><BR/>Salt and Water also for edema that can be painful and cause limbs to go to sleep.

It is not what is owed or a reward - it is self assault. Over eating and under eating - assault against one's self. I don't SEE it that way - but that is what she says. . .Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668796948874901630.post-79056202892399144312007-09-21T18:02:00.000-06:002007-09-21T18:02:00.000-06:00I understand exactly how you think.I like that you...I understand exactly how you think.<BR/>I like that you got a massage and talked to someone; it's a good way to get rid of the pain without resorting to food. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you and Mark will have some time on the drive together and he's there to do some work (not that he's not working but you know what I mean).
