Weird recovery win is that I've been able to fall asleep even when I'm angry. A lot of times my emotions have contributed to sleepless nights but now I've been getting better at letting go and gently telling myself that not everything requires my immediate attention (especially if it's something I realistically can't do anything about, much less at 3 AM). I was upset last night over something but instead of letting it keep me up, I let go of my anger and fell asleep. In the morning I wasn't as upset anymore, plus I was well-rested and feeling better than if I hadn't slept.

So, I don't wanna brag. But I have just had a wonderful moment of recovery realisation.
I was at a free event, with all our meals povided (which I am hugely grateful for!). And absolutely no exercise/movement.
If this had happened two years ago, I would have hid in my room, and nibbled at the few foods I deemed "healthy enough". But not this time baby.
This time I helped myself at breakfast and lunch buffet to all the fun things (like the pastries and the breads), I ate biscuits at break, I had the full roast dinner with starter and asked for ice cream on my crumble for dessert.
I ate everything, and I enjoyed the food too. Like really enjoyed it. AND on top of that I did it with ease, laughing and making new friends while we ate. My period is back, and my mind is free.
This is it. Guys I've recovered.

Woah. Tangibly it feels like things are actually getting better. there is light at the end of the tunnel etc. also seeing our fellow peers grow throughout our sessions was so amazing to see 🥺

92153) despite desperately wanting to, on and off for the last x or y, I've managed to avoid purging so far. I feel like if I do even once that'll be the beginning of something far far worse.
I hope somebody's proud of me

Proud of myself!
Yesterday I fit in a size pants that's at least 2 sizes bigger than normal and I didn't get triggered!!
Normally I'd spiral like crazy but I was calm and ok with it. I was rational. I was cool 😎

today i got out and i wound up getting invited to a luncheon and then to help tend a garden sometime soon.
it was beautiful and lovely and for a few moments i was happy with life again.
also i feel like i keep meeting people that remind me of different facets of you and quietly it makes me tremendously happy. even if i never hold you in my arms again, there is something concrete and beautiful about seeing pieces of you existing in the ether. i meet pieces of my profoundly recovering self everywhere and it is beautiful too. it reminds me how we are all made up of one another and none of us are truly alone. and sometimes the jokes or laughter or comments or mischievous eyes or reactions that reach me tether me back to you in a way i just may be able to live with for the rest of my life. it is not all over. it never could be, even if it didn´t go how we had hoped.

Do you want to hear something WILD?
I have just gone on holiday with no food scales or measuring cups.
I've not freaked out over missing exercise and trying to fit in time to work out without anyone noticing.
Each day I wake up and just accept whatever the plan is for the day and try the new coffee shops and restaurants.
I feel like I am actually on holiday for the first time in my entire life.

Growth isn’t always constant. Relapses happen. It doesn’t erase all your success.

Here to share a win !!
After work, I remembered that I had some tokens for a free scoop of custard at a restaurant nearby. I suggested getting some on my own, because it sounded good, so my grandmother & I went over to get it. I got chocolate with strawberries
Didn't even think about it disordered-ly until a bit after I'd ate it, even then I shut it down and went on my merry way. I'm home now and feeling a bit worse but... I got a sweet because it sounded good. I ate it and was in the moment. I was okay..
I know it's just one moment, and I won't always feel that way. In fact, I won't most of the time, not yet. But I truly hope to have more of those moments.. I'm so proud of myself. My friends were right, I can do this. I might need to be reminded again.. and again, I hope I won't relapse but who knows, but I actually believe it right now. Recovery is possible.. being in the moment is possible.. 🥲💜
