Okay soooo, I know that there was already a thread like this a month or so back, but you see I am tired and lazy so I shall just make a new one. Thank you to the original mastermind who thought this is. I am very unoriginal.
So basically you say things that you have done well today. Much like the confessions thread but good confessions.
Just a couple blatant rules:
1) all achievements MUST be recovery related. For example you can't post things that you have done that people would see as pro-ana/mia etc. Only healthy things may be posted.This is suppose to be a place for people to post the things that even though they may not be proud of are ultimately a good/healthy thing.
2) If you can post some words of encouragement for the person who posted above you.
Example, if someone says "I ate more than usual today" you would say something along the lines of "Great job for eating today, thats a wonderful achievement. keep it up, I know you can do it"
Righty oh, I think that you get the general idea. lets try not to let this one die. it can be really useful to have some positivity around here sometimes.
Love you all x
I'll start: Achievment: I promised myself I wouldn't purge today after purging scary amounts lately, and I didn't purge. After the first feelings of guilt i am actually quite proud of my strength.
So you should be proud Paige, that is amazing! I'm proud of you, I know you have it in you to do this =] *hugs*
Achievement: Okay, so it's not today, but here goes. On Tuesday I decided to go back into recovery. I was (still am a bit) really scared of any food at all. It's now Thursday, I'm still feeling positive, and I've managed to eat something for two days in a row. Hardly anything, but anything at all is really big for me right now =]
Well done on your 2 days, that really is great. Baby steps and you will get there, glad your still feeling positive.
Achievement:I haven't purged since fainting and I have been eating a small amount. Ok so I've only managed to stop because I'm ill,but in the past I'd have just kept on and made myself sicker, so I'm pleased I've managed not to do that.
That's a great achievement! Well done! =D hope you get well soon
Achievement: I had (a fairly large) dinner tonight
You're a star the way you are
You know you're not fooling anyone, no
You got the eyes of an angel
Don't try to change, yeah
Everybody's got their scars
Nevermind how ugly they are
No matter what they tell you
You're beautiful the way you are
"You shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh"
Good job on dinner tonight sweetheart! You can do this dear xx
Achievement: I ate a half a sandwich at lunch today. It doesn't sound like a lot but for me it was, especially because i was in front of a lot of people at school.
i somehow managed to not feel totally horrid about having 2 meals today O.o odd

Katie, thats really really good, see if you can keep it up by having something, even if its small, for lunch :)
Achievement: (albeit yesterday) I had a proper lunch, jacket potato and cheese, salad then an eccles cake for afters. (first proper meal in days, maybe even weeks)

*hugs paigey* great idea starting this thread up again hun!
Lucy- I'm glad you're eating the piece of chocolate every day and that it's making you feel good too- that's GREAT news.
With how icky I'm feeling, just getting up and out of bed should be an accomplishment in itself... I felt like completely blowing off school today, since I don't have any class, just study groups. I compromised with myself instead- I could stay home and lay in bed longer and not go meet with one of the instructors who was going to help me this morning if I stopped by, and instead just wait until this afternoon to meet with my instructor for a couple hours, and then go by the barn. I told myself I'd have to force myself to eat something if I did that though... so I tried... failed miserably at that though. I tried, I just have no appetite at all right now :(

well done on the soup - especially when you didn't feel like eating,
try it again tomorrow? You can do it :) Baby steps.
I just ate half a bowl of Shredded Wheat, with milk. (I'm struggling eating non-binge foods). So I'm pleased I ate it, and not another load of biscuits or something =\
