I ate 2 meals today. I finished 1 of them. I've kept them both down.

foreign hearts & exotic minds compelled her.

They've been forcing me to eat for 6 months.
For the first time today, you know what I did?
Ate by myself. I went out shopping, and I ate lunch. No one forced me. I could have lied, I could have thrown it up. But you know what? I didn't.
Maybe I can win this guys

Oh, and there's a thread called Recovery Stories. Maybe you'd like to post your story? Oh, and mine's in there too, although I'm more of a work-in--progress

Upped my intake, eaten all my meals so far today, plus three snacks, eaten a chocolate bar (!) and am defeating one of my fear foods. Today is a good day.
Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you - you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: The trip of a lifetime!
Don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that's flawless.

I had proper lunch and dinner yesterday after a whole week  Even though I left a bit of lunch, but I did eat 90% of it.

For the first time since I relapsed back in February, I did NOT count any calories nor did I write anything down in my food journal. I also did not restrict. I ate my nephew's first birthday cake. You guys have no idea how proud of myself I am. Oh, and I feel kinda sorta okay with my body.

Today is a good day. A day where I've eaten three chocolate mice off my meal plan.
Doesn't sound much, but it's a first
