Ailsa- well done for your five weeks. I'm getting the sense that you took a momentary hop off the badwagon, but that doesn't take away your achievement. Well done for getting out and distracted when things were difficult.
Annabelle- Well done for ALL the things! I hope the endoscopy results are OK, and good on you for sensible eating/exercise.
Carpe Diem (not sure which of your real names, if any, you use on the boards these days!)- Well done for tasty cooking and nomming and managing to go out in town by yourself :)
Claire-Rose- Well done for getting back safe and not freaking out :)
Hazel- Well done for being a recovery pro and not letting slip-ups set you back. You've been doing so well and you can continue to make positive changes :)
Justine- hooray for walking!
Kia- I'm so ridiculously proud of you for going to the doctor <3
Marie- You're such a star. Congratulations on your three days free of le purging and for being so brave and letting yourself cry and talking to your stepmam. I wish you ALL the happiness in your new house. Hope you remember agreeing to me coming to visit in September =P
Sarah- Well done for registering on the two courses; I hope you enjoy them! What are they? And well done for coping with the navigational catastrophe!
In Jenna news, I've been nomming a legit amount of food and doing NONE of the behaviours. I was also brave about something and it really paid off. *TopSecret nod*
Well done Jenna-Benna (jenna-benna...where did that come from I wonder? XD). You know, saying something is top secret now just makes me want to whine at you to tell me :P I am too nosey.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.

I have a suspicion what that might be about but I don't have enough clues yet to be sure. *nods*

Reason: missed a letter
As some of you may know, I'm dreadfully unfit. For all my efforts in working out this year, I've always neglected cardio and as a result I get winded just running for the bus. But yesterday and today I managed to actually get some time in on the exercise machine thing that I've had for ages and almost never use. I'm hoping to get into the habit of using it (or at least doing some kind of cardio workout) on a regular basis.
Incidentally, I'm very curious about Jenna's Top Secret bsns. I'm sure it was awfully heroic though. Maybe she was doing some sort of heroic spy stuff for the Queen. Jenna, were you behind Her Majesty's parachute jump with James Bond, by any chance?
Today I went to a job interview, and managed to brave the tube. I was literally shaking from nerves/anxiety all the way there but I still managed to do it
And Justiene; you're a hero for all the wonderful support you gave me yesterday!
No problem :)

Eeeeek, well done!

Well done Sarah, that's really good.
Hazel - it might seem small, but deleting those numbers is really good. It'll help you to move on from things that have happened. It's also easier said than done as I have numbers in my phone that I've not used, or wanted to, for years!
Ailsa - well done for distracting and doing well.

*high five for the TopSecret BSNS*
Conor - well done on the exercise, it's one of those things which is really hard to get started with.
Laurawr - well done for going, hope it went well :)
Me - not much going on really which is why I've been quiet. Trying to plan a few days at my sister's house to get out of here.
Well done to everyone, its all so impressive
I think ive done quite well in dealing with some mum issues of late. Ive only lost my temper a few times, mostly ive tried to say things calmly, and i havent self harmed. My college work is the only thing thats gone down the pan from this out of everything
He was no longer jean valjean but no. 24601 -les miserable
Some of life's mysteries will never be solved, such as why, after spending an entire evening listenong to Bach, do I find myself humming "the birdie song".......
I am reaching, but i fall, and the stars are black and cold, as i stare into the void of a world that cannot hold- les miserables
Today I went on the tube today, which for some people might not be a big issue but for me, even though I grew up using the tube a lot I always have a lot of anxiety whenever I go on it.
I got rid of my SH tools today! :D I have discovered intense running workouts as a substitute. They make me wonderfully sore but they're healthy for my body!
My name is Matt, and I am a boy. Feel free to PM me :)
I have learned that the world is not a safe place. Not at all. But there are so many people who love me and want to keep me safe. And that is enough.
These stories always make me smile. Keep it up, everyone. :)
As for me, I feel like I've done a lot this week. I didn't bring any tools with me when I moved back out, I did something I considered avoiding because the thought of it made me anxious, and I used logic to prevent myself completely falling apart. So, yep. That's it.
oh non-believer, please believe me.
is there honestly nothing in this world
that keeps you living & breathing?
you're a ghost in your own
goddamn city.
Congratuwelldone everyone for your achievements :) <3
Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings,
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.
Today, instead of allowing my mood to take over, I went to the gym and visited a friend. Because I chose to do those things, I made it to two weeks without SI.
I also filled out an application form for a really good job that would be amazeballs experience for my MA, despite the fact I almost didn't because my negative thoughts tell me I'm not good enough for the job.
EDIT: Just read Psuedonym's post...Well done on all those awesome things!
No problem :)
