20 weeks purge free! Woo woo!!!!

So what if I've moved to restricting, starving and other methods. My fingernails are no longer dented and warped, which means my potassium levels are going back to normal. If my disorder kills me now, at least it won't be because I purged myself to death.

I've had my first meeting with the the group I'm volunteering with. We're starting to prepare potential sponsors and fundraising ideas.

I've also been approached to find sponsors for an event a friend of my ex's is doing. We met to discuss ideas. Unfortunately, G's new girlfriend was there. Well, when I say 'new' I suppose I mean next. Or newest. I don't know. They've been together for over a year.

The interesting thing is, G seems to be having problems with her recently. He's been coming to me a lot lately with problems they're having. He feels she's dominating him. Always telling him what he should be doing/wearing/looking for in a job.

This week, he came to me upset, because she seems to be taking over his ideas and plans. Him and the friend of ours and myself, to a point, are looking to start a PR/event managment company. Himself and our friend are the instigators, but because I need the opportunities, experience and breaks, he wants me involved too. The problem is, is that everything they do or we do, his girlfriend is trying to hijack or be involved in. He went to her to tell her that our friend wants him to coordinate and give workshops on public speaking and she immediately told him that she's done public speaking and has her old notes. She didn't mention helping him research or assist in it, but implied that she could do it instead. Speaking my mind, I told him that the real reason was that she didn't trust him and wanted to be involved in everything he did because of it. Did he get mad? No. He agreed with me.

I told him that at our meeting, himself, me, our friend and his girlfriend, that I felt useless. That everything I was supposed to do, was taking over by her saying she could do it. He confessed that he felt the same way.

Troubles in paradise??

He also told me this week, that he's disappointed that she doesn't like to watch TV much. The two of us have always used DVD's and TV as an escape. A way to switch off for a while. But she doesn't share that view and it appears he's unhappy with that. I know I should be happy with that, and I'm not, really. I want to see him happy. I'm just glad, I suppose, to see that their 'perfect' relationship of shared everything and lots of money (hers) isn't short of flaws.

In other news, I STILL don't have the courage to ask out my sales rep friend. WHY???!!!!! AAARRRGGGGG!!!!

One of my employees wants to do it for me. Fuck it, maybe I'll let her!

I might be going on a housebout with R, his wife, my 'friend' and S. Should be.... interesting!
