So ED has stuck around for the move to my new home but I think he's starting to realize that its not gonna be the same as it was in montebello. People are always home, I have no transportation or close restaurants/fast food/marketplaces within walking distance so thats off limits. I guess I'm just going to have to do without...
AND GUESS WHAT??
thats just FINE with me!
This Tuesday will be 21 days that I have been symptom free of ED and I couldn't be prouder! (who's counting anyway)
Ya so I'm not happy with my appearance, but thats not all there is to life.
I have family and friends that love me for who I am and the way I look, and now its time I learn to do the same.
I started working out, not to lose weight but to feel healthier. Its already exciting the changes my body has been going through since I moved to my Grandma's house. I'm having normal hunger pangs and night sweating do to my increased metabolism since refeeding. I know this is all eating disorder jargon to some but in our world... these are huge steps in the right direction! I won't get into too much detail, but when one has an eating disorder.... things aren't as regular as they should be :-/ well... I'm happy to report I'm back on track in the department as well! AND I'm not afraid of drinking fluids anymore because I am no longer retaining water!!!
Ok so maybe that was too much info for you "normal" folk, but for those struggling with ED, details like those help make recovery more tangible.
Anyway, I'm glad to be reporting good news and hope this is a continuing trend... HANG IN THERE everyone!
