Explaining to my grandmother that Christmas Eve Dinner would consist of previously frozen vegetables, heated nicely for consumption, dipped into globs of special edition Heinz Jalepeño Ketchup and Grey Poupon, complimented with Harry & David Grapefruit and Francis Ford Coppola wine, she exclaimed, in horror, “That’s not a Christmas Dinner!”
Knowing very well that I eat such gorgeous food every night of the week, rather than defending my food, I defended my management system. “Grandma, remember that I shop before I consume each meal? The shops will be closed tonight. And this food is what exists in my client’s refrigerator.”
Replying to my announcement, my grandmother offered sincere advice, “But you should have stocked up on goodies!”
“No. If food is there, then I shall eat it. Lunch becomes breakfast. Dinner becomes breakfast part two. Then I’ll have nothing for dinner. I buy food before each meal to control my overzealous consumption.”
Note: Staying with a client all week, I was granted access to their gorgeous refrigerators and pantries.
Plural.
Lots of readily available food. Delicious food.
But never do I feel compelled to “eat” the food of clients like would a Bulimic because, frankly, that’s not ladylike. Similar to my philosophy on The Grandeur of Restaurant Dining, when staying in the home of clients, I know that I am performing. Executing a job. And I am a perfectionist. Therefore, I eat regularly. With control. With comfort. With safety.
My grandmother continued, “I never had that problem. When I am full, I just do not eat anymore.” Perhaps this is why she was so smoking hot, always.
She continued. “Sometimes, my brain says that I’m hungry. And I want to eat something good. But then I just drink water. And the notion passes.”
JUST DRINK WATER.
Is it really that easy?
How role does water serve in your nutritional life?

HAHA to just drink water! Not to laugh at your grandma because I’m not, only laughing because my grandma told me the very same thing many years ago ;-).
I drink more water than I used to and since eliminating diet soda and diet iced tea I would say my beverages are now limited to water/plain hot tea/the occasional skinny latte/wine. But I don’t use water as a substitute to fill my tummy (that doesn’t really work for me; however, if I have something very watery like soup, that does fill me up). I make sure to stay plenty hydrated, but beyond that I don’t really treat it like a “snack” or as a way to be full, if that makes sense?
PS – You have the cutest legwear!
I love that our grandmothers own the same philosophy! Seriously, my grandmother has shown me old time menus from royal cruises that her mother experienced, and the dinners were so elegant, yet so simple! Example: “Medium-Done Steak with Green beans.” Not the rubbish that one spots upon today’s menus “Shepherd’s Pie.” What the fuck is a Shepherd’s pie? Yes, I think that upscale upscale upscale restaurants are an exception. During my serial dating days, I always left feeling satisfied yet completely balanced. But hello restaurants like the Cheesecake Factory? That’s where the problems exist. So many options. So much fluff. Just Drink Water, I believe is the best motto ever. Fuck the Got Milk campaign. ;) xo
I think the point is that there are often cases when we THINK we are hungry but we are actually just thirsty. It’s pretty common. I would never use water to replace actual hunger, though. Nor would I use it to replace meals. Otherwise, drink it and drink it often! It is good for you!
Yes! Replacing meals with H20 is total anorexic territory. I did it in 1999, from 14 February to 21 August (at which time I became a fat fuck of a bulimic). After each class from Feb to Jun (still in high school), I’d fill 8 water bottles with water at the fountain. And I’d drink each one during class. Repeat x however many periods existed in the day. Man, I was fucked up! :D
Perhaps that’s why I hate water now.
Or maybe it’s just because I love gin so much… speaking of which, time for my third sip of the week. (I’ve been so busy!). xo
Grandma’s still got it.
:)!!!!!!!!!
I think the ‘just drink water’ philosophy is great for those with a practical and pragmatic approach to food; those for whom hunger is purely physical. For those with emotional/psychological hunger, for those with eating disorders where bingeing plays an integral role in their lives, drinking more water does about as much good as chewing gum.
That said, when I was thin I did indeed drink a lot more water than I do now – I’d chug 750ml before every meal, plus more at the gym when I exercised. I was thirsty a lot and the water did help to fill me up physically; however I was also in a better place emotionally, and a more stable person at the time. So, water can be helpful and healthy, yes, but only for the right person in the right circumstances.
xxx
I love that you write about emotions.
I do not connect emotion with food.
I connect the fact that I love the gorgeous taste of hot cheese mixed with marinara on bread with food (and the associated fat that would grow upon my already humungous body).
I think that drinking water is lovely, and I’ve done it more this week than normal… but not even water can “awaken” my body in the conventional sense.
My body is a machine, and I shall forever treat it as such.
There is no nourishing, there is no patience, there is no love. There is only fueling that which is my engine.
I love you!!!!!!!!!
Of course it isn’t that easy. com’on :-) I can easily gobble down 2 to 3 liters everyday, and well, still packing that big ass :o)
BUT drinking water is a huge past of a healthy lifestyle, so if you aren’t drinking 1,5l a day already, start to. It helps flushing out the system :o) pee needs to be clear.
is your grandmother wearing a red leather jacket? lol!
past = part
How in the flying fuck do I know if I’m drinking 1.5L when the ‘god’ damned United States of America doesn’t use the metric system? Do you expect for my mind to be a Texas Instruments calculator? ;) Looks like I’ll just need to text message my favourite international text message friend for conversion assistance since I’m clearly an English girl with the most fantastic of writing skills, rather than a mathematician… LMFAO. ;)
you’re an idiot, nicole. liters aren’t that hard to convert.
You don’t think I was being facetious? You don’t think that my mind is a human calculator when it regards measurements… OF FOOD? Come on. You’re talking to a former anorexic turned bulimic here. My brain knows all. ;)
“An English girl” who doesn’t know what a shepherd pie is. You should really hand in your pathetic attempt at being Anglophile. And since you think you’re so Euro with your midnight meals, you’d think that you would know the metric system.
May I ask you to back up to this statement please?
” If I needed money and had no other choice, I would result to prostitution. Whatever it takes.”
This was said in the context of probing your attitudes about unemployed people and people who need the help of others. Are you suggesting that this is a solution to the problem of unemployment: participating in illegal activity to get money to live? Does this mean you would also sell drugs or become a hired killer also? Are you suggesting this for serious consideration as a path for the unemployed to improve their financial position?
Why is prostitution illegal?
The official line is this: “The United States government takes a firm stance against proposals to legalize prostitution because prostitution directly contributes to the modern-day slave trade and is inherently demeaning.” The government also claims that legalizing or tolerating prostitution creates “greater demand for human trafficking victims.”
My question is this: Since it *is* illegal, what difference does it make to your case and how does drilling down into this answer my question, other than obviously avoiding answering it?
The body is property of the government?
No, I will *not* get off into some philosophical circle-jerk here. Prostitution is an illegal activity except in some parts of this country, NONE of which you could reach if you were broke. So answer my original question: Are you saying that you believe that the way to earn a living if you are unemployed is participating in illegal acts? This is a binary, boolean question: Yes or No. True of False. If you answer it otherwise, I’ll assume your answer is “yes/true” and you are simply too weasely to say it.
I am saying that a person should have the right to use their body as they please. Do you agree or disagree?
You know what I want to know? Why it’s so easy for you to sit on your high horse and look down on people who cannot help themselves. You know, considering you filed bankruptcy and had some $80,000 — that’s EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS (spent mostly on clothing, jesus christ!) — forgiven and forgotten.
That’s already been addressed many times in the comments section @ my blog. ;)
Your grandmother is absolutely gorgeous. In some ways I agree with her, when I am feeling the first bits of hunger I turn to water first, because there is a chance that I am just thirsty. I also turn to water with lime or sometimes Crystal Lite flavors when I feel sugar cravings because I can get the same satisfaction from drinking sweet/flavored water as eating a candy bar. But, let’s be honest, if you are hunger no amount of water is going to take that away, it will fill your stomach, but you will still be hungry. BUT I agree with Jess in that drinking water is SO important for health. I feel so much better when I drink at least 64 oz. of water a day. I drink both flat water and sparkling/seltzer water, I can’t get enough of the stuff.
cheers. xxxxxx
Missed that. Pointer(s) to those entries, please? Oh no wait…I’ll bet you haven’t had time to get that information over to the new pretty blog. If you don’t have pointers, then, how about a quick recap for us noobs.
Should be under NMS’s words about already addressed. Sorry.
Maybe if you weren’t so quick to be an asshole you would put your reply to the right comments.
Lol!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes when I reply to a comment, my comment pops up somewhere completely random. I’ve noticed this happenings to others too. It’s not the commenters’ fault, seems to be a glitch with the comment format or blog host.
It’s there. I’m mobile so can’t link the exact comment. But it’s contained @ my article entitled “the story of how Gwendolyn saved me from bulimia” in reply to comrade Fiona.
Hmmm. I’ll try to find that. Meanwhile, it appears there may be some people on the Webz who have ninja-level detective skills…can you confirm that someone who goes by “Shannon” is a member of your family and might have interesting info on your finances?
No “sir!”
No, typically you didn’t explain it at all in that post. You went from blaming credit card companies for giving you so much credit to suddenly having only one credit card and paying that one off every month. There was no explanation about how you got from one point to the other so Just Some Girl is apparently right…all that debt just went *poof*. Or maybe you went the prostitution route? Wow. How many thirteen dollar tricks does it take to equal 80 large.
You tell moi;)
“…The next year, playing fiddle to the tune of Looter, everything that I passionately stand against in my adult principles, I declared federal bankruptcy, legally discharging my life from financial obligation, eradicating myself of responsibility to the tune of eighty thousand dollars…I lacked a completed, formal education; and by this point, at the age of 28, my credit cards carried $16 grand of post bankruptcy debt in the name of Marc Jacobs, Nicole Miller, and Laundry by Sheli Segal. ”
And you’ve quoted me because???
Actually, it hasn’t. It’s been brought up by commenters and you’ve dismissed it or told us to wait for your “book”.
I would be interested to hear your opinion on the prostitution thing though. Since you brought it up in the first place.
Someone mentioned that prostitution is illegal to prevent slave labour. I think that anything can turn into slave labour, even dog walking. People need to be accountable for their own physical bodies. The government has no right to control it. Abortion, prostitution, whatever.
@Liz, What the fuck is wrong with you? :D Water can ABSOLUTELY freaking steal away hunger feelings… if one boasts anorexic tendencies, that is… ;) … just kidding. There are some anorexic-inclined who are accountable for their actions (of eating or not). Take Françoise for example. She’s an ATHLETE who is inclined to restrict. But she runs so fucking much that she NEEDS nourishment. And she’s SMART enough to choose food instead of non-food. It’s all about decisions. It’s all about reality. People like Missy fucking Miller? They get no sympathy from me. A 35-year-old anorexic, to me, is like a 13-year-old who still undresses her Barbie and Ken dolls, playing “Barbie and Ken Sex.” Just fucking do it for yourself. Just fucking eat, people. But for moi? Water as nourishment? Fuck no. But I have recently taken to lemon water! Propel Zero Lemon water to be exact. A client left some for me in their refrigerator… and it’s been addiction ever since! xo
artificial sweeteners are all the rage among trendy vogue classy girls! yay propel! fitness! vogue! classy! natural! raid the fridge!
I love your shoes in your pic with your grandmother!
Thank you! They reminded me of something that Joan Fontaine would have worn in the 1940s! :)
Ah water….. When I started losing weight I drank water to fill me up. Besides a clear complexion I ended up taking many many bathroom breaks at work. Now I don’t have the option of just having a sip whenever I feel like it. I still drink a lot of water but also lots of tea, on occasion diet soda. I notice in winter I have less desire for water….. Probably be aide it’s so darn cold!
I’m a huge fan of a nice, crisp can of diet soda. :D
What’s your fave?
Diet Pepsi……. Most times. Or diet Dr Pepper
Delicious!
I’m a Pepsi girl, too.
Coke zero will do, but I don’t seek it:)
I really need to be better about drinking more water! I’m working on it right now! I’ve got my 24 oz tumbler filled with water right now. :)
I wonder if our families in old time Italy had their tumblers, too! :D
I have a gorgeous Kate Spade thermos which houses my ice cold H20.
I must say I agree with your grandma! While I do feed myself when I feel snacky and hungry even if I’ve already eaten a lot, but this is because I know my body needs to refuel after a run. If I don’t feel as though I deserve the hunger growl, I drink water! It helps me!
I think that your skin is marvelous looking, so you must drink lots of water!
Holy fuck, Nicole, I have quoted you to illustrate my point. Answer the fucking ORIGINAL question I asked. This reply might be in the wrong spot but that’s only because your web designer was a crazy wannabe hack.
I am my web designer. ;)
xoxo
I knew that.
xoxo
So she’s right about your web designer.
I love you little sister! These responses to the creepy weirdos literally have me laughing.out.loud. They seem so angry about not being fed troll food :)
No troll food. No troll vomiting! :D
Consider it as my giving back to human beings, even those who don’t work. ;)
My mom always said that to me when I was a kid. When I whined about breakfast, lunch or dinner, her response was always, “Drink some water it will fill you up and you won’t be so hungry.” I hated water (like many kids), and it might have made me feel “full,” it didn’t make me any less hungry :)
Now I drink at least 64 oz. each day at work. Keeps me hydrated, which is important for keeping the skin young!
Keeping the skin young, yes!!!
Water and yoga aid the body in ageing gracefully.
Clearly my grandmother is prime example.
This is just truly pathetic. The only comments you fully address and questions you fully answer are from sycophantic “followers” of the church/cult of Nicole. You as the crazy leader adore the adoring “masses”. (All five.) Honey, most of them are calorie and nutrition-deprived and, like you, have fucked their brains and bodies up so badly from restriction, purging, whatever else (I don’t know all the terminology used in your mental illness because I just eat food I love, until I am satiated, and exercise), that there is clearly permanent damage. There’s really no other way to explain the way you speak, think and act.
Other people who ask valid, intelligent, insightful questions and call you out on your double talk, bullshit and outright lies are bawked at, baited, ignored. You are so transparent! You are truly afraid, as combative as you are, of a true debate and having your beliefs and assertions questioned.
You are and will always be, a sad, scared and sick little girl. Or is it just about your looks? Nice legs, shame about the face.
Thanks for complimenting my legs. :D
Yay! I have always wanted to be a cult member (I’m so upset that my logical brain would never allow that, but THAT might be my first resolution in years…join a cult…the cult of NMS, the Pittsburgh Chapter)!
I’m going to quote just some gurl here, talking about those of us that don’t attack Nicole: “Honey, most of them are calorie and nutrition-deprived and, like you, have fucked their brains and bodies up so badly from restriction, purging, whatever else.”
I don’t have an ED, so that blows your theory out of the water, and the fact that you are posting on a blog that many ED sufferers read, I find your comments irritating.
I read Nicole’s blog because she reminds me of myself 10 years ago and I like encouraging her to change the way her brain works (and she does), just like I was encouraged by others who were older than I, in non-judgmental, holier-than-thou attacks, because that is all I ever asked from others. So there (sticking my tongue out at you like an 8 year old on the playground)! Nicole is an extremely bright young woman who will whack down her own path in this world, and she doesn’t need to be “told” to live one way or another. We all DECIDE which path to take, on our own, without nasty, warty trolls trying to shame us into slinking down one path over another.
Why do you read here, JSG (and I mean this for JUST SOME GUY, JUST SOME GIRL, JUST SOME GIT, etc), other than being a miserable troll?
Can you please post your picture so we can see your legs, oh, and your face?
Nicole, I know you don’t take the personal attacks from the toads to heart, so I don’t even need to say this, but I will: You have enviable legs AND a gorgeous face and 2013 will be better than 2012, which was better than 2011, which was better than 2010, and you know what I mean : )
Have a beautiful, peaceful night with your snuggly puggly, Gwendolyn!
I would love to post my photo but, as a television reporter, I’m seen more than enough! That should tell you a bit about my legs and face– one doesn’t see many (any?) fat, horse-faced on- camera reporters….
Sure you are, dear!
I can assure you I am, indeed. But it’s fine if you don’t believe me.
I thought you were an editor. Are you a broadcast journalist? A bit of a diff.
Also, no ill will towards anyone, but I’m pretty sure Just Some Guy is not a guy. No male would frequent this site (no offense, Nicole).
cassi, nic will never have enviable legs, four they are shourt and stoucky, and thus can never be loung and lean.
nic needs to take the “trolls” advice and consult a proper mental health professional and nutritionist. she’s got a fucked up mindset, and while it may work for her ~for now~ she should not continue on this path. she’s obviously very sick, and still, despite claims, a crazy woman with an eating disorder.
she can abstain from bingeing *whilst* at a *client’s* house? then she should use her perfectionist tendencies to see she does the same at home, where she spends the majority of her time by herself. i think even us haters, as much as we enjoy the crazy, are human enough to want to see her get better.
but she’s an insufferable asshole. maybe that’s part of her recovery. i don’t know. but as long as she keeps being a heinous human being that’s lacking complete rational thought, i will continue to *troll* her here, under huh?
**drops mic**
No, no, no, you don’t want to see Nicole get better. Stop pretending you do. I’m not being a white-knight defender here, just realistic. If you really wanted to see her get better, you would not talk about stocky legs and all that. You know as well as my bony little ass that that’s a trigger, so chill petey on the Mother Teresa shit.
Not a trigger. Not whatsoever.
A trigger is when a man, one whom I find attractive, thinks that I am fat. Not stocky. I am short and stout. If I were a dog, I would be a puggle.
See, for moi, putting my pictures out into cyber land in the first place was something that I only could do when I didn’t give a fuck about others anymore. I knew that my blog would be so damn popular (as it is), and there would be a world of bulimis and anis that analysed my bod. I would have done the same during those bulimic years. I stopped giving a fuck when I let go of my bulimia. I care about what my family thinks – yes. Because they are my circle. I care about what my friends think, yes. Because they are my circle. But everyone else? Nope.
I love my legs when they exist in tip top yoga shape.
At the moment, there’s extra chub. But it’s disappearing as we converse.
<3 love, love, love this elegant comment!
<3 u just soume guy! i've been on holiday "vacatioun, nic" and have missed vous ever sou much and exists geougeously et al!
I think Casandra is fixated on seeing pictures for some reason. She keeps asking about them. I guess she thinks visually…if she thinks at all.
I wanna see YOUR photograph, JSG. It’s about that time of the fiscal quarter to get off. ;)
Mama Cass, you need to settle down and and have a sandwich.
bwahahahhah bwak! bwak bwak bwak!
Nicole, it may not be a trigger to you but your commenting buddy is intending it to be, which is what I was objecting to. If he/she didn’t mean for it to be irritating/triggering, he/she wouldn’t bother to point it out. Just like the various arrows slung at Cass for being–gasp!–40.
Although, picking on someone for their age isn’t the same thing as the ED trigger stuff. If you were angry enough to write about your neighbor thinking you are pregnant, then it’s not a leap to consider that maybe some random calling your legs fat would be upsetting.
Who doesn’t become irked from time-to-time?
People do not say pleasing things 24-7. Being irked is not being ‘triggered.’
I think that the woe-is-me ED world is just too damn sensitive.
As my mother would say, “Thicken your skin!”
Pun totally intended.
Out all day in the field! These comments are too fab for simple iPhone replies (except for the silly ones from the trolls). Shall return later, martini in hand!!!
Wendy, or can I call you *cunt bag* as nic has previously called her former friends as weekly as this week? I’ve not said anything as hateful as that. short and stocky is short and stocky, from an objective viewpoint. You sound like a looney. Do you, “Wendy” condone calling fellow ED mafia (lol can’t believe I just typed that!) members “cunt bags”? How do you feel the term “cunt bag” is condusive to people, especially women, as a whole?
Wendy, would it help you to skip over my comments if I called you a *cunt bag* like Nic did to Missy in Sonja’s comments?
As a classy lady myself, I would never use such language, but I’m wondering where you draw the line?
I don’t know where this comment will end up, but “cunt bag” falls under the category of generic namecalling. Now, if she called out something that specifically is an issue for you (i.e., body configuration, which is what this blog is about), then it would be a true parallel. And, my point being, feel free to be an ass but don’t tag on the somber “I’m a caring human being and I want this girl to get better” line.
And Nicole, as I noted, even if you weren’t “triggered,” the intent was there. That was what I was saying. Good for you for not letting it bother you.
Nicolette, love your pantyhose and demeanor in the photo with your grandmother! I don’t like water. The only way I drink it is mixed with apple cider vinegar and stevia, because then it tastes like apple juice. I drink about 5 glasses of water a day, which includes 2 with the apple cider vinegar concoction. (It flattens my belly.)
I think drinking lots of water is overrated. There is lots of water in many foods (vegetables, mostly), so I really think that the advice to drink lots and lots of water for health is not necessarily well founded. When I feel hungry I don’t try to drink water to evaluate if this feeling is really hunger or just thirst. With my tendency to starve myself, I don’t need to drink 0 calorie stuff to mask the hunger (or thirst). What I mean is, if I end up eating as opposed to drinking (because I mis-took my feeling of thirst for hunger), then fine, starvation was avoided one more day. lol
Note, I used to tell my mum that I felt hungry and her answer also was and still is, “then drink some water”. That answer always triggers me (towards starvation – but I manage the feeling now) because it makes me feel that maybe I should not eat if hungry, i.e., that maybe I already ate plenty and eating more would be wrong and unnecessary…
So does water serve a nutritional role in my life? Yes, to swallow pills/supplements if needed and to get my dosage of apple cider vinegar lol.
xoxoxoxoxoxo
Francoise
I don’t mind making fun of the theatre, what irritates me is the pretension that there is humanity and caring behind it. Snark but don’t pretend you are lily white, in other words. I don’t fawn here, I merely observe and comment as a fellow ED-er type, so I feel I can state as such.
That was meant to go beneath “Huh?”‘s comment. Nicole you do need to figure this site shit out. What’s the heck here.
If I make the comment threads any deeper, then the comments run off of the page. I care about aesthetics more than I do content. ;) Same goes for body / brain. LOL.
ugh, shitty web admin, amirite, wendy?! get this *perfectionist* shit in wourking order, wouldya nic?
I like the word “shit.” I say “What the shit?” instead of “what the fuck.” (Got that from my dad, who dislikes the F word.)
Agreed, it’s hard to follow the threads sometimes.
Also, when someone JSG I believe, had their comment fall in the wrong place earlier you should not have “lol’d” at Liz’s comment when you knew you that it was your website that put it in the wrong place, not him.
I’m not trying to be overly disparaging, but part of being an adult is taking accountability when you are the one who likely made the mistake.
Françoise, How I love your comment, let me count the ways! Your apple cider vinegar concoction is my Propel Zero Lemon Water. A client left some PZ for me, in the refrigerator, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
If a person were to suggest that I just “drink water” whilst looking at my body, I would flip out, on the inside. My friend, this evening, commented that Tom Brady’s wife Gisele is too thin. I got mad, on the inside, vowing to up the cardio.
I love you, and I thank you for your insightful, honest feedback, as always.
AND, I totally meant to compliment on that gorgeous photo of you and your grandmother. Was that on Christmas?? I love that you are both crossing your legs the same way!
Nooo, not Xmas. Disappointingly! January, 2012. I have a bit of firming to do for flaunting of those tights by February! Which I shall. I love my grandmother:)
No matter what the size (of either of your quads!), I love that you are crossing them the same way and looking so happy!
:D!!!!!!!!!
My grandmother is very special to me. Mwah!
And Nicole, I am SO SURE that you are just as special to her as she is to you…I KNOW SO, and I’ve never met your grandmother.
My grandmother is from Sweden and I growing up I always felt she was comparing us to Swedish children, like, are we as smart, pretty, etc., BUT she totally wasn’t. She loved us for US and I’m lucky to still have her. I know she won’t be around for many more years, but I love her the way she is and she loves me for, just me : )
This information melts my heart so very much!!!
Now that you mention crossed legs, my reaction was quite different. NMS’s legs are crossed toward her grandmother as if to ask for inclusion. Grandma’s legs are crossed *away* as if not seeking inclusion into the dyad…or actively moving away from inclusion.
You and Grandma look gorgeous!
I agree 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Stephanie and Cassy!!! (my little and big sisters!). :D
wouw. all these haters, nic! they are tres rude!
classy foouud, indeed! glad to see you’re keepin’ it high quality and expen$ive/classy – frouszen vegetables and big fat bouttles of catsup! all to be counsumed late a la european style!
alsou, one of my many (and certainly oubtainable, four i am a perfectiounist) new year’s resoulutions is to adoupt my own language, that of which exists ouwn my planet, four which i exist exclusively. you have truly ~inspired~ me with your gorgeous prouse!
happy new year, darling nic!
It’s Nicole.
Or to Françoise, Nicolette. ;)
xo
nou, it’s decidedly nic here oun my planet! ~the passiounate individual~
LOL!!! I’m thinking Huh? might be a tad, you know, drunk! : )
Another man that I dated and rejected. LOL.
Speaking of men that you “dated” what happened to your big New Year’s Eve date? Did you feel a bit too stocky that night?
My New Year’s Eve date?
We rescheduled for last night. And we fucked. ;)
Ugh. A new low. For someone who purports and aspires to be classy and pretty, this is such a gross and disgusting statement. There is absolutely nothing sexy about it, especially considering who it is coming from. You have already written that you do not like sex and you fake orgasm, and that you referred to a sexual partner’s penis as “It”. Infantile.
My motives for having sex and the associated physical response or lack thereof is none of your fucking business. I hurt someone’s heart by being a stupid whore, and I’m angry at myself for it. So go to hell, and leave me alone on this subject. Thanks.
Weird. I could swear you put all such information on your very public blog, and on a few different occasions as well. Perhaps in the future, you might want to consider keeping such private and personal matters to yourself. I’d feel quite embarrassed and ashamed of myself if I were you. But, I of course say that knowing YOU will feel no such thing.
Eliza, Simply because I publish information about my life onto my public blog does not mean that I’m required to address commentary and questions.
You are correct. But, you completely (purposely) missed my point. You wrote above that someone should ‘go to hell’ and that (matters relating to your sex life) were none of his/her ‘fucking business’. My point was that you should be thoughtful about what you put out on your public blog. You have on several occasions written on a public platform about your sex life – in fact on this very thread you state “we fucked”. When your reader called you out on such a vulgar comment, the point made in your response wasn’t even slightly valid. I don’t say this to be rude, but rather to make you think about what you say. It’s like when I clearly see one of my kids take a toy from a sibling – I’ll call them out for taking the toy and the response is often “I didn’t take it” (all the while holding the toy!) You can try to talk in circles all you want, but you cannot call out a reader for commenting on PERSONAL MATTERS OF YOUR LIFE WHICH YOU HAVE PUBLICLY WRITTEN FOR ANYONE WITH ACCESS TO THE INTERNET TO READ. That was my only point – things which are none of the ‘fucking business’ of a reader, should not be published by you. You are the very person who has elected to make those issues the business of everyone. You can’t blame the person doing the reading in this case; it’s the person doing the writing who created the problem here – and you can’t talk your way out of that reality. Hopefully you can chalk this up to a lesson learned, and move on all the wiser.

I don’t know, Eliza. Just because someone makes information public doesn’t make it the business of the public. That would suggest we have some stake in Nicole’s sex life, some ”right” to knowledge; that it affects us directly. It doesn’t.
I’m going to guess that Nicole shared the information she did, as with everything she does (it seems to me) to generate pageviews. Mission accomplished!
ouh, cassi, nic knouws drunk! besitas!
Drunk? All the better to be Nicole with!
I thinking water is generally good advice, not to fill you up when you’re actually hungry for food-you should eat then-but to make sure you’re well hydrated which is healthy.
It sounds like your grandmother has a healthy relationship with food. She eats to nourish but doesn’t stress!
And your grandma is lovely!
Such a pretty comment about my grandmother! So appreciated, MG! Yes, she has a very healthy relationship with food. A fully stocked pantry. A nutritious refrigerator. And the ability to stop when she is full. xo
I am actually both. I work as a broadcast and print journalist, as well as an editor. And I’d love to hire you.
This, of course, was meant in response to Wendy. And I am serious in my compliments to you. You are one of the most intelligent commenters here (even though you defend Nic against common sense and quite fair arguments).
Thank you, but I’d hope you wouldn’t hire anyone solely on the basis of blog comments!
I don’t think I defend Nicole fairly or unfairly. I find this blog interesting; I have many years of ED under my belt (although I don’t wear belts really; I hate my midsection) and have heard all the usual blah, blah, blah, so I find her perspective unique and entertaining.
I also like people who draw strong reactions.
Love! And love the pics!
I have heard the water thing, doesn’t quite work for me though =)
Also read eat pickles when you are craving chocolate and it will kill the craving….that one works but I’m pretty sure only because the idea of chocolate in your mouth full of pickle film is pretty gross ;-)
xoxo, you ladies are fabulous!
Oh yes!!!
Pickles and ketchup are divine!!! :D
My Grandmother gave the same advice…always a glass of water before her meals although she ate what she pleased, the liquid preceded every meal. Love Grandmothers!! Mine was so wonderful and I miss her dreadfully!
As for all the Just Some….’s and Huh’s etc with the constant cruel comments…I think you have all crossed the line far more than Nicole has EVER done in terms of rude, bizarre and hurtful word vomit…you are all a little strange yet seem to think you are the normal ones…
And no, I am not just blindly following and adoring whatever Nicole writes..I didn’t comment for quite awhile when I felt she was heading a direction I didn’t wish to read or know of, but now I actually enjoy reading again.
.ohhh, as Nicole would say, she has “earned my readership” back…gee, I guess I really AM a crazy follower using your language, Nicole!! ;-)
Love to you xo.
What a pity she doesn’t behave on OTHER people’s blog comments.
Now, I bet you won’t publish this comment, will you, Nic?
Why wouldn’t I publish your comment?
still Jeniffer’s point stand: all the hics, just some people (who all are severely lacking in originality), huhs and what nots have been far more consistently hurtful than that one cuntbag comment. Please don’t misuse my blog here.
can’t wait until nic turns on you, dear beautiful sonja (you really are!)
then maybe you’ll live on our planet, it’s called earth, and while (whilst?) it has it’s problems it’s much better suited to people whom believe in things such as rational thought, science, and reality. even when discussing EDs! Catch ya on the flipside, S ;-)
For all who love The Nicole Marie Story Philosophy, be sure to read, ‘Rectification‘.
I AM SO DAMN HAPPY TO HAVE EARNED BACK YOUR READERSHIP.
You know that I adore you!
And I knew that you weren’t reading, and it irked me!
But I am happy that you are back.
xoxoxo
So happy to be back and excited to see and share in where 2013 takes you and Gwendolyn. We adore you both too. J and H. XO
And btw, I am still waiting for more information on your latest and greatest blog article.
Will be so happy to learn more, and I shall love if it’s good news.
xo
Hey Nicole. Brilliant advise from your granny. I agree it is important to possess self control and not overly raid your client’s fridges. I drink heaps of water but I don’t find that drinking more water will stop me from eating…I wish it were that simple…:-)
I want a Dr. Rayya post on water!!!
I just moved recently, and Gwendolyn has become more haughty with water consumption. She’ll only drink Fiji. LOL!
How long can a dog go without water? And if water consumption is decreased, how will this affect elimination? If they simply refuse to drink, what are the medical complications other than dehydration; and how will the veterinarian address this?
Mwah to you, Rayya!
wouw, nic! poouur gwyno sounds traumatized. why not keep her tres chic and classy and just give her fiji?! only the best for the best!!
BTW in response to the original query here, which I didn’t answer–no, drinking water does not help me much. Drinking coffee or alcohol does help.
Amen!
My staples;)
I drink tons of water and black coffee. Definitely helps! I can’t use it to stave off real hunger, but fake cravings, yes.
I’ve also heard that sweet cravings can be quelled with gargling teensy amount of sugar water. Haven’t tried that yet, but next time I have a sugar craving, I will.
And one last comment: Geez, this thread is so very ugly, almost entirely off the subject. I wouldn’t let these people post so much; it’s nearly impossible to read this thread and sift through actual comments with so much pointless, contentless fighting going on.
So, that’s just some unsolicited advice from a reader :) It sort of bums me out coming here and reading all the hate. I’m always tempted to get involved, which is pointless and time-consuming.
I really appreciate your feedback on the hateful commentary. The reason of why I approve such negativity is because such is the precise manner in which anyone who challenges the system is treated. I want persons like me, those who live by and for themselves first regardless if the subject is food, relationship, profession, etcetera, to know that haters shall hate. My blog is the truest reflection of reality that I can produce. And that is what I desire for my readers to appreciate. That and cute photographs of my monkey:) xo
Really Margaret? You’d rather come here and discuss the “role of water in your nutritional life” than tackle the issues behind the thought processes behind the fascinatingly sick mind that creates this sad little blog? REALLY? I mean what’s there to say about water? We drink it. Some of us flavor it. Some of us drink lots of it. We all need it to live. Uh…..hmmm…okay next topic. And for that how about what we’re more interested in: the Fascination Of Nicole Marie Story. I think that’s much more interesting. If it attracts negativity…well…I mean…this is the Internet.
No decaf for you, eh, JSG?
I have no idea how this relates to anything…but, anywho, I did notice you visited my new blog! Thanks for being my first reader, even though you declined to comment. ;-)
I have not visited anything new of yours, but I shall this evening!
JSG, you comment more than anyone else. You spend your time ready to pounce. You make your own blog to tease Nicole.
WHAT is the obsession? HOW is Nicole the one in need of help?
And to Nicole: the correct answer for everything during my Army training days was “drink water.” So, Grandma is right. ;)
Maria, JSG is the only reason this blog gets any page views. Although, I admit his comments are getting a bit tiresome lately. The endless amusement I get from watching Nicole trying to outwit JSG is priceless. Nicole will never be his intellectual equal but its fun to see her try!
To Guess Who: I guess I just look at it differently. JSG thinks he’s doing some sort of favor by being obsessed with Nicole’s posts. He might use a big word now and again and have some wonderful diploma, but I don’t see him as an intellectual. Rather, he’s comes across as an inadequate bully.
Anyway, I read Nicole’s blog as a non-ED person just intrigued because she actually says what she thinks. I guess I find it refreshing.
Maria,
I love that you interpret my honest writing as refreshing! I love to have learned about your army nutritional advice! And I am so happy to have earned your readership. :) – Oh I do want to know what it’s like to eat in the army! Did you observe girls with bulimia? I couldn’t imagine eating and thriving in such an environment. Happy Monday to you! :)
” You’d rather come here and discuss the “role of water in your nutritional life” than tackle the issues behind the thought processes behind the fascinatingly sick mind that creates this sad little blog? REALLY?”
Yes, most of us ED types really do enjoy discussing the roles of water, et al, much more than discussing the thought processes in our sick little minds. I am sure it is fascinating to consider if you aren’t ED.
So we can definitely conclude that JSG exists as a civilian.
Maybe your Granny had a point – more water, less alcohol.
I love having a nice, tall glass of water after running, and I’ve forced myself into the habit of having water when lifting weights, but as far as daily water consumption is concerned, I could do better. Sometimes I’m too lazy to pour myself a glass of water—especially when I’m really hungry because my mind is on eating over drinking anything :P
Can I just add that I love your new avatar?
You are so mysterious and perky and healthy!
Love! :)
Honey, the minute you put your sexual habits, likes, dislikes, pet names, reports of conquests, etc. out there for public consumption via your blog, especially with such “look at me”, attention- grabbing language, it becomes fodder for discussion. If it’s off limits then don’t initiate the conversation in the first place. Making such a crass statement about having “fucked” last night is about the furthest you can get from wanting to keep your sex life private. You can’t make an announcement like that and then ask your readers not to bring it up.
And on another, but related note, It is so sad that you don’t seem to realize you are so completely manic/depressive.
There is no such thing as depression.
Delusional.
Okay?
You know I’m happy you’ve found out how things work for you, and that I’m a friend of idiosyncratic solutions in general. :) I think that drinking sufficient water is good to prevent “fake hunger”, and it’s the purest form to provide the body with liquid. So there. I think drinking water is good. Although I also confess to have a slight obsession with black tea with almond milk. :P
