Day 5

Today was a horrible day. Alongside this weight gain challenge are other hardships and parts of my life that I am trying to negotiate and this morning turned into an emotional issue with members of my family ( unrelated to my ED ) – all resolved, but leaving me with the mother of all headaches that I struggled with the whole day. I suffer from migraines and headaches anyway, but I also injured my cervical vertebrae when lifting my heavy bike to get it through a doorway. I took painkillers all day, applied heat patches and ibuprofen gel to the neck, all to no avail. it was horrendous. Whilst I still carried on eating, my mind was obviously not focussed and I wasn’t able to sit at my desk to write, hence this brief summation on what is actually day 6.
