I thought this section of the forum could do with a bit of positivity and wanted to start a 'Recovery Focused' thread

Please remember the rules- no numbers of any kind, we don't want to trigger anyone.

Today, to beat my ED, i have eaten well, not denied myself and not purged

How about you?

[tinyrabbit]

Nice thread, I like it.

I have resolved to find the cute recipe cards I bought ages ago, or buy new ones, and put some nice recipes on them.

I have eaten lunch.

[Grey Matter]

I made myself an actual breakfast, and I enjoyed myself and beat the feelings of guilt afterwards.

[Victoria'smom]

I'm cooking dinner and had a piece of cake.

I decided to ask my T in session tomorrow if she can help me admit I have an ED. I keep going back and forth but feel I need this step to be able to move towards recovery.

[HealingTimes]

Some great accomplishments already

Today i have eaten breakfast and not weighed myself

[ShaggyChic_1201]

I dealt with my frustration and ignored the 4 amazingly delicious looking gourmet cupcakes that were sitting next to me in the office. Oh! and I made a chili dance

[Grey Matter]

I made breakfast again, didn't weigh myself, actually had a cookie, and now I am making dinner. It's been a good day!

[Victoria'smom]

I ate dinner and had a brownie. I have also stopped all carbonated and caffeinated drinks.

[Grey Matter]

I just woke up and said "Not today" and I am eating perfectly on my meal plan. I go back to work tomorrow I need to be functioning.

[HealingTimes]

I ate dinner, didn't weigh myself and didnt purge

[Gr3tta]

I accidentally ate more than I intended at dinner today when I lost count. The ensuing anxiety made me feel genuinely sick to my stomach. But I forced myself to stay seated at the table and didn't let myself get sick. That may not seem like much but its a much better effort than I've been making lately.

...plus I wanted to bump up this thread because I really like it.

[HealingTimes]

That's brilliant, Gr3tta, well done

Today i didnt: Binge, purge, restrict, or use any behaviour at all! No weighing or measuring myself either.

a good day F you, ED, F you!

[Gr3tta]

Today I ate something while it was still light out. I had to bargain for it, but I am still going to count it as a win.

[Grey Matter]

Ate all the food on my meal plan. I have been doing really well with my anorexia, I am proud of myself.

[rissaAli]

I actually made a shopping list.

[ShaggyChic_1201]

Had 3 meals today - even despite someone asking me if I lost weight, which usually triggers me to want to lose weight.

And tried some new freaky almond-coconut milk product. I tried to pretend it tasted like Almond Joy, but alas, even my ED brain didn't believe that

[buttrfli42481]

I had breakfast, which for Ana is a big NO NO.

[AngstyLady]

I went to the gym the third day in a row to help combat the crap food I again ate last night- I don't feel so bad for eating it now.

[HealingTimes]

I ate everything i was supposed to, didnt weight, binge, restrict, purge, SI or even have urges to

[Gr3tta]

I put away the ed memoirs and started reading a book just for fun.

[wiltedxdaisy]

I have been very triggered recently, from a comment my brother made a few days ago, and have been finding it hard to eat without support from my Fiance. But this morning I woke up and actually felt a little hungry and was able to talk myself into having a muffin for breakfast.

[Gr3tta]

I am @ work and just now made an oatmeal packet for lunch. I like to add a lot of water so it takes a long time to eat. It makes it look like there is more than there is maybe. (Or maybe I am jus a pig, I don't know) upon seeing the quantity of oatmeal in my bowl a co-worker stated "that's a lot of oatmeal!"
...you can imagine how that felt. Why didn't he just punch me in the stomach?
But I didn't immediately dump it all in the trash or sabotage it by dumping a bottle of hand sanitizer in it or anything else. Will I eat it all? I don't know yet. But if I eat any of it after his comment. That is a win.

This is the time of year for gathering together & eating out at special gatherings......I really enjoy getting together with my groups of friends. I never can eat all that they bring me when I eat out.....so my doggy box is always just a normal part....I eat 1/2 & take home 1/2.....but eating 1/2 is so much better than eating NOTHING & I get to enjoy visiting & being with my very wonderful friends.....& I have 1/2 a meal to eat the next day that I don't have to prepare.

Saying that......so many times I have brought the doggy box home & Leo (my doggie) takes that literally & thinks the food is for him. If I set the box next to my bed, I can usually end up finding that he has gotten into it & there is nothing left.....even after he had all his teeth pulled.

[ready2makenice]

I did not purge yesterday or today so far. I woke up humble,telling myself that it was going to be a good day
