I figured out a way to eat meals, snacks, and what not through out the day at times when i'm *hungry* and at more appropriate times rather than focusing AS much on time, as in not waiting until the last possibleish minute to eat something, I gave myself a bit more leeway, ate more food at lunch than I normally would, that i should eat during that time anyways, (I normally forced myself to wait and eat until after school, to the point where eating just became sooo incredibly stressful and tedious, i couldn't just relax about meal or snack times), I didn't check the time as much during lunch, and I tried to talk and enjoy myself more rather than freak out as much about food. today I felt a tiny bit more *normal* in a sense. sure i was still a little weird about certain things, but i mean... this was still pretty awesome for me anyway. like the time i went out to lunch with my dad and brother and actually enjoyed myself and felt *mostly* comfortable.
I am SOO glad to hear this!! *hugs* you should feel so proud of yourself! aw you really cheered me up. Well done on making such a positive step! Keep up the good work and let us know how things go!
yayy :)
well done babe im so proud of you :]
thats a really good step & the fact that doing it felt almost normal & right is another good thing about it. How do you feel now? Do you think you could do this alot more?
aw I love you all, I'm smiling right now like a dumbass just reading your post replies <3 I am going to try doing this from now on in school and what not :] and i hope it encourages each and everyone one of you lovely people to do something positive for yourselves as well. you all deserve positiveness for goodness sakes :P
and yeah I've been doing pretty good so far.
I still isolate in a sense? Like I build 'friendships' but never really go through with them. I think it's because I've given up on having legit friendships at my highschool. I have a few good friendships, but they don't live near me. I'm a social person, I'm just in a weird transitional phase. I think my image of myself as well as eating/food/mealtimes has a lot to do with it. but it's mostly how I see myself I think. I used to be totally embarrassed of myself, like I would feel bad that people had to look at me, and I couldn't handle compliments and I know people don't normally just dish compliments out but, I just never felt like anyone is ever being sincere with me. Like the whole world was lying to me. Which isn't really realistic, but that's how I felt/feel. Also the fear of being triggered. It's happened a few times kinda but I've tried to avoid it so far. I think that's at least part of the reason I haven't relapsed so far. lol. xx
how're you lovely people today <3 *hugs*
thank you, and I'm glad you are beginning to believe that you can recover! because you can! glad to inspire you into making that realization! <3 *hugs*
