Check in
Hey everyone!! I thought it would be nice to have a thread for us to check in periodically to talk about how our days were :) I can start. Today was a pretty good day for me. I ate around 1700 calories. I ate pizza for the first time in like 6 months, so that was a bit of a challenge, but I did it :) I hope you all had…

Can't stop bingeing...
Today I've eaten over 900 calories so far, and I haven't even made it to dinner yet. I can't stop bingeing and snacking, and I feel really sick.
Im well on my way and...
Everyday is different. I struggle some days more than others. Well, I was released from inpatient May 26th after a month and a half. When I was sent away in April I had a prognosis of less than 2 weeks to live. I thought Id never get better, Id been ED for 5 years and could have dropped dead from heart failure at any…
Fighting through it
I was suuuuuper close to binging and purging yesterday but I made myself drive home instead of to get food. I made a bowl of soup and the craving passed. I was really proud of myself :) I haven't been hardcore in a long time but it still a struggle, especially when I'm dieting, not to just eat a ton of junk and get rid of…
Protein for vegetarians?

I feel like a joke.
I used to be bulimic. I was very hardcore about it for the longest time and was in outpatient rehab at the Hershey Medical Center Adolescent Eating Disorders Clinic for about 9 months when I left to do the Disney College Program. While on the college program, I did very well. I may have relapsed once or twice, but I felt…
Triggering?
I'm just feeling very alone in my recovery at the moment. My ex was the one who helped me begin to get better. And now that I don't have that support anymore or motivation or encouragement to get better it's very hard.
I wanted to share this interesting article.

The main MFP ED support group...
Can be found here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/110-eating-disorder-support It is pro-recovery and any pro-ED topics or discussion are immediately removed. This group is just a duplicate, it would be more useful to keep all the discussion in one place.
Good ed recovery sources
One I have found especially helpful has been an ed recovery website called ana bites. They accept anyone. They have a space for triggering posts, a space for non ed related things, and the admins are incredibly lovely. Another resource I've found helpful is my dietican. :)
