*Positive Recovery Post* - What have you done for your recovery today?

[EyelinerAndCigarettes]

Heyloo all my wonderful warriors!

I'm pretty sure there was a thread like this before, but I think it should be resurrected!

So, my question is,

What have you done to help your recovery & beat down your eating disorder/eating issues today?

It can be absolutely anything, small or big, whatever it is, be proud of yourself because we can all win this battle together!

Today, Despite having eaten my 'limit' that the Anorexia set me, I pushed through, told the Anorexia where to f**k off & ate more because I wanted it, because it was yummy & because my body needs & deserves nourishment.

Super proud of you Hel <3

Today I ate candyfloss because I wanted to feel like a child again. It was yummy

[marimar]

This is a great idea, I loved this thread. Really motivating :)
I finally settled my insurance and made an appointment with a gp for Monday so that I can deal with the health issues caused by my ed

[[LittleMonster]]

Today I ate what I wanted at the restaurant, not what my head was telling me.

Super proud of you all!

[EyelinerAndCigarettes]

Everyone is doing amazing!!

I let my OT weigh me today, despite everything in my head telling me not to.

[LittleCloud]

Aw, bless all <3. Everyone is doing so well!!!
Today I pushed myself to eat lunch before my counselling appointment though my head was screaming and made up for missed snacks over supper and afternoon tea

[EyelinerAndCigarettes]

SO proud of you Alanna!!!

Yesterday I agreed to reach a healthy BMI while I'm inpatient.
& Today I plan on eating a slice of my birthday cake, because cake is yummy & I deserve to!

[ASkatersDream...]

Not sure if this counts or not

I'm not anorexic or bulimic

But I'm gonna cut down on junk food and focus on a healthy eating plan again to lose weight healthily

[EyelinerAndCigarettes]

^^ Of course it counts! This thread is for everyone & I'm very proud of you! *squish*

I've decided to try & eat 1 fear food a day & really try to enjoy it, to let myself think about how nice it is - Yesterday I managed it & I'm determined to do it again today.

- I posted for support.
- I ate a legit breakfast instead of eating lots of junk.

[Hyperboleandabit]

I ate a bit more than my limit that the 'voices' allow and am planning on allowing some yoghurt as well...

You guys are amazing, a true inspiration! Thank you

- Had a meal for breakfast and lunch.
- Didn't binge when I really, really wanted to.

I went to my GP and spoke to her about my weight gain. I told her how I've been eating and how I'm afraid I'll start using unsafe methods out of desperation to become thinner. I'm scheduled for blood work next week to check my cholesterol and thyroid. She gave me new medication that I'm going to try despite being afraid of it, and she helped schedule an appointment with a nutritionist, which I'm really excited about. Progress seems like a more realistic outcome now.

Brilliant work everyone. These sound like really massive achievements, and you should all be very proud.

I have been shopping and replaced most of the food that I threw away in a very disordered 'freak out' yesterday morning. I feel guilty because it's such a waste of money and I really can't afford to do it, but logically it is better than the alternative of justifying restricting because of having no food.

I have also written my food diary for today in advance, because somehow writing it down makes it easier to stick to it.

[Bellatrix]

well done!!!

[EyelinerAndCigarettes]

I had an actual snack out in a coffee shop today with my friend & it was lovely!

[[Luna]]

^ Well done Hel, that is amazing! Love you.

I've tried to stick with healthy foods instead of binge eating on crap despite being insanely hungry all the time.

[Bellatrix]

I ate breakfast and lunch today despite feeling very sick from anxiety and wanting to restrict. And I'll have dinner when Jenna's finished tutoring. Even though I really don't want anything.

[chinahorse]

Good job everyone.

Despite being anxiety and worry making me be sick Ive managed to inch my intake up to acceptable levels with little snacks. (I find snacks at all very difficult so that I had several is a big win)
