Triggering (ED) - How can this happen?

[PrincessVegeta_x]

I've been feeling very happy for the last couple of weeks, which has been awesome. I haven't felt truly happy for seven years. Anyway, today I feel bad, all because I had to eat with everybody else at work... my boss told me that I had to... and now I'm mad. I didn't eat much and I feel like a failure...

This seems such a stupid thing to get depressed about, but I'm depressed. I'm just going to get fat now... I shouldn't have eaten...


What's happened to my postive attitude... and recovery?

Maybe I should just go and cry. Sorry for pathetic post.

I promice you that one meal isn't going to make you fat. I know it's hard... but your bos was probably only forcing you out of concern... or maybe they wanted you to be there but would feel awkward of you weren't eating...

Thanks for replying. It means a lot.

I asked her why she made me eat, and she said that she was worried about me because I never seemed to eat anything whilst at work. I lied and told her that I eat before I come to work...

You won't get fat from that, I promise. One meal shouldn't make you gain. As for recovery, almost everyone slips up from time to time. Don't beat yourself up about it. I'm going through something similar at the moment so I can relate. Take care of yourself sweetie. xxx

Hun,
The post wasn't pathetic. *HUGS*
I can understand why you felt mad. Try and not get too worked up about it though, sweetie. Maybe could you talk to your boss about how eating with others make you feel? Take care. xo.

*hugs* its ok to have slip ups from time to time, wat u have to remember is that it is just that - a slip up and not a full blown relapse. In reality everyone has good days and bad days so i think u need to be easier on ureself and not think that because u feel bad now that its always going to be like that, because facts show u can feel better. In respect to a meal, rationalise with ure head that it is only one meal and the likelihood of u gaining from it is low. I know its not quite as easy as that, but keep fighting those thoughts - u can do it!
