Eating Disorder Talk

Last week, I talked about my new hair cut, accomplishing tasks and television, amongst other stuff! This week’s is below and I’m going to delve into stupid things like surprising beanie babies, my eyes and healthy habits (of which I have few to none).

Appetizer – When was the last time you were surprised?

When I weighed myself earlier this week, I had gained four pounds from (Canadian) Thanksgiving indulging. That was a big, depressing surprise.

But more so was the day before yesterday when my daughter busted out her first clear, “Mommy,” because for the week or so prior to this busting out, she was saying something like, “Mamameeeee.” That was an awesome surprise.

Soup – Fill in the blanks: My eyes are ________, but I wish they were __________.

My eyes are expressive and emotionally-sensitive, but I wish they were green all of the time, not just when I’m very happy, cuddly or sad.

Salad – If you were a Beanie Baby, what would you look like and what would your name be?

I would be a little violet coloured lemur, I fear. With some sort of cliché play on words name such as “Violette.”

Main Course – Name two things you consistently do that you consider to be healthy habits.

Ummm. I’m seriously at a loss on this one….

Okay, well, I basically go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday – but since that results in a huge sleep deficit, I don’t know how healthy that actually is.

Secondly, I am extremely open about my emotions. That’s good, right? Because, nothing is ever bottled up within me, catharsis is embraced and I find it easy to (over) analyze my feelings. I also consistently discuss these feelings, conflicts and angst with close friends, looking to them for both support and their opinions.

Dessert – What brand of toothpaste are you using these days? Do you like it? Why or why not?

I am using some basic form of Crest that I bought a few months ago when it was on sale. I buy things like toiletries on sale and then save them until I’ll need them and in this case, I wish I hadn’t. This over-minty tube is the bane of my brushing and generally makes my mouth burn if I stop moving my toothbrush for even one quick second it seems. I’m almost done the tube and look forward to switching to my daughter’s Dora the Explorer bubble gum flavoured stuff soon!
