I saw my nutritionist again today, after a break of 3 weeks (which is what we have been doing for awhile now. At first it was weekly, then bi-weekly, then 3 weeks)...and we went over an analysis of one of my previously journaled days and she said that it looked really good which is great because that was a pretty typical day for me now. Towards the end, she pulled out the sheet of notes that I gave her the first time I saw her which included my "good" and "bad" foods and eating habits and whatnot. It also included 3 major goals, stated as: Where I would like to be: 1. Eating normally, not worrying about whether I’ll get fat or not. 2. Not feeling guilty after eating. 3. Able to enjoy food and not use it simply as a means of survival. She read them to me, and asked me to rate myself where I think I'm at with them on a 1-5 scale with 5 being the goal can be checked off because I achieved it. My scores were: 4 for eating normally (I could still up my caloric intake and boost my protein)/5 for not worrying about getting fat or not. 5 for not feeling guilty after eating. I eat ice cream and candy now! Whenever I want! And I never feel bad about it! (Well, unless I eat too much ice cream and get GI upset since I'm a bit sensitive to dairy, but that's a different kind of bad, it's physical not mental). 5 for being able to actually enjoy food and not just use it as means for survival. Not only do I enjoy food now, I've found a lot of different things that I really like that I had never even tried before! My nutritionist thought that my self scores were pretty spot on, and she said that I'm doing great and that she doesn't think I need her anymore. So, I've officially been discharged from nutrition therapy after 5 months!!  Like the song says, I'm almost there -- almost to the point that I can say that I have recovered from anorexia after years upon years of having it but being in denial about it.  "There ain't nothing gonna stop me now 'cause I'm almost there!"

Thanks! It's so freeing to have accomplished so much! As hard as it was to get here, I think that the harder thing will be staying here. I know I'm fragile, and if things start going downhill in one part of my life, everything else is sure to follow.

Thank you!!
Also, big thanks to my job!! If I didn't have a job that provided me breakfast and lunch daily, M-F that is fresh, and made from scratch, I probably wouldn't be anywhere near ready to be let go. But because everything at work is super healthy and has a good mix of the food groups, and as staff we are encouraged to eat with the kids, it makes it way easier for me to make sure I'm getting the things I need. |

  Darling, this is simply WONDERFUL, it really is!! So much light at the end of the tunnel has been found. However, I KNOW how much work and in~put it takes on your behalf to have got to this stage, you've made my day now I've read this and it's morning for me ~ so a whole day of feeling good because of you!! Just keep up the good work. I KNOW it's a daily task to not let anything slip but having your new healthy body is more important than a slip at this stage. You will be a huge inspiration to folk here and to your family and folks IRL too. What can I say? Just WELL DONE HUNNY. Do keep in contact to let us know how you're doing.
