Let's share our successes. Big, small, seemingly irrelevant or life-changing, beating ED can be easier when you recognise and celebrate every step of recovery. We all make progress every day but I think sharing it and writing it down makes it a more real and positive thing.
I'll go first.
Today:
- I found out I won't be hospitalised because I managed to keep my weight within 1kg for 3 weeks.
- I made it 1 week eating 1300 calories every day and gained only 0.2kg.
- I planned the week's meals so that I hit 1200-1300 every day.

I was considering a post like this but was trying to work out what to call it so it would only be positive!
Yesterday I ate more than 1000 calories and although I'm uncomfortable today I'm determined to hit the same amount!0 -

i know this isnt that big of a deal but it kinda is for me...
i have a hard time eating junk food such as chips, candy, desserts without purging or feeling the need to purge
well yesterday i ate a cupcake and a reese cup and didnt think twice about it. I didnt have that guilty feeling i normally get and it honestly felt great0 -
Wow what a turn around..YEAHHHH..thinking of the positives no matter how big or small. Just in that alone you have come along way Milli. So very proud of you. Have to be in the right frame of mind if you are going to beat this..looks like you are on your way.
Well my successes:I have prob eaten over 800 calories the last 2 days(I had been doing pretty good but had a bad slip where I was lucky to get 300 in..used my sore tooth as an excuse) And my other one is I should be going back to work full time at the beginning of Dec. Not so much b/c I have improved, but they figured this way isnt working so lets try something else. Either that or not work(cant do that I am not rich) Trying to be more positive and fight against this. I guess somedays just making it through is a success.0 -
I never buy premade food/junky food because I'm afraid I'll eat it all. I bought boxed mac and cheese 2 weeks ago and ate it for the first time in forever last night with my girlfriend. She was really proud of me.

I went for help. I asked my boss to help me. I went to therapy to get help. I ate pizza when I got home after only eating grapes, pumpkin seeds, and rice crackers in the morning. I want to get better. 0

Yesterday I was majorly triggered by seeing an old friend who had relapsed (to the point of having black bruises and black gums), and I went home and HAD DINNER!!! And instead of trying to cut fat by using one egg and four egg whites in my "eggs and cheese" (where the cheese is laughing cow) I used two eggs and three egg whites 0

Today I made myself do this stupid crappy exercise book from the hospital for anorexics. About 15 minutes in I think I figured out the core reason behind my ED. I wrote about it for almost an hour. Now I am going to eat a big celebratory dinner with my boyfriend, be 100% honest with him about it when he gets home, and deal with the REAL problems in my life rather than trying to kid myself that starvation can ever make me happy.
