I think, sometimes, that I live in a constant state of being re-introduced to Trouble...and, nope, that capital letter is not an accident.
The Trouble I have lived in lately definitely deserves it.

Fell off the band-wagon today. My professor brought in doughnuts. Jerk. That SOUNDS, on the outside, like YEAH!! Doughnuts! What a love--right?
Uh, yeah, right.
I succumbed to the temptation of glaze and sugar...I ate one. And, my stomach promptly started roiling. Up to then, I'd had a half a grilled cheese(at Steven's insistence), one Boneless wing, and two potato skins. This...this indulgence left my mouth watering and my stomach spinning in a constant reminder of what it felt needed to be done next. Sad thing, I suppose, to have your stomach trained to know that after something bigger than a half a palm, it's supposed to purge itself.
I made it almost home without him knowing that I'd succumbed not only to the doughnut's temptations, but that throwing it back up had become her own temptress.
I swear, that toilet was a siren, and I wouldn't be content until my guilt over the sweet, along with the sweet itself, was gone.
Oohoo, guess what?
Wait...you got it? Dang.
Yeah, got spanked. First with his hand(ok, so he says it was a warm-up, but I call bull-shit...that was hard!), then his belt. Now, let me be clear, I don't fear the belt the very most, but it's not something I jump in line for either. Then, it was back to his hand.
And, from there, on to the spatula...that thing stings like no other, I swear! After which, I was moved into the corner.
It was pouring rain outside, so I escaped the switch--
Only to have him appear with a thin dowel rod in his hand. He plopped down in a chair(the only time I see him use this dumb thing is for spanking) and pulled me over his knee...I think we've discussed how I hate that?
And, here's the thing--I got mad. I was mad I was getting spanked. I was mad that it hurt. I didn't think it was fair: after all, it's my prerogative if I want to eat, right? And, certainly, one stupid little doughnut wasn't worth this much punishment?
For your reference, should you ever find yourself in my shoes--mentioning that is a poor idea.
He laid into me with that rod, and I swear, I was WISHING I'd die. I didn't. And, he started something new: lecturing during the spanking.
"Are you serious?" I spluttered after his third question. "We're having *conversation* right now?"
"I'm serious," he responded. It took forever, but Kypr finally made it into my head. I still don't totally agree with just how unhealthy he thinks my habits are...but, nonetheless:
I got the spanking from Hell.
I owe him a four page paper, one page being on why having a low self-image is unhealthy, one page on why not eating is unhealthy, one page on why throwing up/purging is unhealthy, and one page on healthy, viable, reasonable alternatives.
I didn't get to go to the gym tonight.
I have to write a detailed food journal every day, which includes exercise(type, duration, the whole nine yards), and give it to him every night. If I don't give him one, it's a spanking. If I lie on it, it's a spanking. If I throw anything up, it's a spanking. If I...you get the picture.
At the end, he told me his love wasn't measured by how much I weigh, or lose, or gain. I know that's true. He told me I was his baby if I weighed 120, or 320 lbs. I believe him.
But, my butt's throbbing, I have a paper due, and I'm flatly struggling with the accountability of a food journal. I normally feel very at peace, if sore, after a spanking.
Tonight, I feel both loved...
And sad.
Here's hoping tomorrow will look up a little.
It's got to, right?
