I promised yesterday that I would eat three meals, and it was tough and I nearly didn't but I did!
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.
RIP Granddad Terry. I'll miss you.

That's kinda what I'm doing... I'm eating all the food... 3 meals 2 snacks. In my time limit... Not purging... But I am just so SO depressed about it all the time... I keep trying to not hate myself but i just don't know how to love myself...
I wanna fly. So I do gymnastics instead.
I'll just keep holding on to what i believe and oh I believe in you. Give me the strength for the fight and the heart to believe cause I've got to believe in you. I feel so alive.

I stopped myself from purging at the last minute.
I ate normally yesterday, without too much trouble. Feeling anxious and awful now, but my ED didn't ruin my day.

I've not skipped a meal in two days, and I've not binged in three.

No restricting/binging for about a week, I had one slip-up but it doesn't matter in my eyes.
I also burned my food journal in the fire at the campground.

Laura, you are awesome.
Didn't do so well today, I skipped a meal, but I didn't let it get the whole day down, which is better than usual I guess.

Made my own breakfast. Without being asked. And it was tasty.

Had two meals today, and I think I might make myself a snack now. Because I'm hungry. And hunger is a feeling, not weakness.
And back with Laura's idea...sort of... I think we should make a social group called the "Eating Disorder Recovery Cake Party."

I'm planning on beating both my anxiety and ED all at once and getting myself a doughnut from Greggs at lunch because I wanted one yesterday and couldn't get one because of both those stupid things.

GO FOR IT, HESTER!!
Today I wen't to Barnes and Nobles with my mom and got myself a scone... I feel a little bad about it, but I'm not going to let it get me down or ruin my day.
Also, I got a workbook and I'm still going to meetings.
I feel successful, right now.
P.S. I joined this cake party!

I slipped up but this time I just got up, brushed myself off, and kept going instead of second guessing my recovery! That's the first time I've ever done that!
