In Jenna news, I'm chasing the ED bandwagon and ate precisely ALL the calories yesterday. Moreover, instead of 'making up for it' today, I intend to eat a lot of my 'safe' foods to reach a reasonable intake.
And I've forgotten the last time I self-harmed, but I shall stalk my R/V to hopefully find out so I can claim a milestone!

Jenna, well done on both the food and non-SH front. So many positive thoughts and hugs for you.
MOAR heroic acts: walked into town, handed my CV in for a job (!) and braved social interactions and an insanley long linein the post office to post a certain someone a thank you.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.

Woop! Well done for handing in your CV; I know that can be scary! And good on you for braving the social interaction :)
I also have MOAR HEROISMS to share.
This evening I was on my own at dinner time, but I made myself a legit dinner and ate it sat in the lounge watching TV. That sounds a bit lame, but I don't often eat properly when I'm alone, and it's even more rare that I set aside some dinner time, instead of just nomming whilst at my computer.
*nods*

I've become increasingly frightened of police officers but I had to deal with a situation with a police officer this evening... I was brave, and managed to control the anxiety and not have a panic attack?
And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears. And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears...
Today I bought a new reward chart and stickers to give recovery yet another go :/
I legit digested fast food also, because it was the only option that didn't involve not being able to sit down (all of the pain!) or not eating at all. Digesting said food is pretty miraculous for me at the moment. So I got my sticker.
I also chose to ask for support whilst having a Flid this evening instead of partaking in the non-legit type of activity.
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
You ninja posted me, Kia! Well done, you! Severe anxieties are so difficult to face, you did great <3

*showers everyone in hero glitter*
You guys are amazing <3
In other news, I only just realized I've been over a month free of SH with only a few slip-ups in about five months. :)
Also, tomorrow I will be three weeks free of le behavior. Eeeeeek!
