Lent has begun and therefore so has my fast, along with additional church going and silent meditation.

So far the fast is going pretty well.

Ash Wed: I only had a red pepper and tea
Thursday: I had a piece of bread and some soup.
Today is Powerade and a red pepper.

I am attending Mass daily during what is lunch time for others and filling myself with prayer. My boyfriend is concerned that this religious fast will only catapult my ED into a place that I cannot come back from, but I have to be honest, I feel wonderful. I finally became unstuck and went down a pound and Church makes me feel energized to get through the rest of my day.

I am going to bed early now instead of being up all night rocking ... but I think the bf resents this because it means we have little time together.

Is anyone partaking in Lenten fasts or restrictions? Are you being criticized for it? I restricted during Lent since I was 8 .... I think its unfair to ask me not to do it because I have a disorder now.

How are people handling this? Just looking to for input
