Oh please don't give up! I know you probably feel like you've been doing this FOREVER, but 8 weeks isn't all that long. It took me months to stabilise properly, but after...uh...9 months? on the diet, I now only have problems when I've been bad or I'm ill otherwise (migraine, flu, etc). It's made such a big difference.
That's encouraging... I wonder what that's all about, though? I mean, what changes after long enough time?

You don't sound like you're eating much??? I know its hard when you can't eat proper sized meals, but snacking (on soluble fibre) is essential. If you don't feel you're getting enough protein, what about a protein shake?
Yah, need to make those -- tried to buy frozen fruit at the grocery store last night but couldn't find any! Weird.

You totally sound like a type-A persona (very into controlling your life - like I was!) and I bet the hypno or yoga would really, really help. It's not new-agey at all - there've been so many clinical studies proving how good it is. Sounds like you could do with making more time for "me-time". Book that massage. Then think about scheduling regular slots to do yoga or hypno or something! Look after yourself girlie - you're not a robot!
You made me laugh out loud when I read this because you totally have me down cold. "Type A" should be tattooed on my forehead. Lots of big things in my life have been completely out of my control so I don't like relinquishing control and I hate to admit that this is not in my control. I think I am beginning to get there but even thinking about how to make time for the CDs, or for a yoga class, etc., stresses me out! I am already behind on hours for the year at work, so I need to crank it up a notch, not take more time off. I know what you are prob. thinking -- health is more important. It's true, but it is really hard for me to let work go. Who could have predicted that such a slacker would grow into such an anal adult with this kind of work ethic? If only my parents could see me now, they might not recognize me as their lazy daughter.
