I have decided to go to my appointment tomorrow and am trying really hard to put more effort into sticking to my meal plan today. Hoping that if she see that from today that she won't see how badly I have gone the rest of the fortnight.

The last few days have been such a struggle. The ED monster inside my head has been so loud. I hate that so much of the Christmas festivities are based around food. I hate that I've been gifted so much chocolate. I've eaten but I feel so dang disgusting. I want so desperately to restrict. I've not given myself a day off exercise at all. Find myself thinking about how I will get there, the plans I make in my head.

I am sending some loving hugs 🤗 💖

Hey @Former-Member here to offer as much support as I can. I’m not in a great place myself. My ED is very loud and relentless and I’m not in a good place medically.
glad that you seem to know when you need the extra support around your eating? That’s an important step to know.

I really wish there was more of an online community for ED recovery. It’s so helpful being able to talk with other that actually understand.
I went and did the groceries this morning. It has become a task that I greatly dislike. My ED tends to be very loud and I buy minimal things, mostly things for my daughter. Occasionally I will pass something that my healthy self would like but my ED says no. But do I need to buy some things just in case I do want to eat? But then I don’t want to waste food either if I don’t eat.
My case manager came around this morning also. She asked the usual questions, when did I last eat and what was it, have I had any water today, what physical symptoms am I currently feeling. I had nothing positive to report back to her unfortunately. But I did tell her that I will go get my bloods done…. This has been something that I have been fighting against recently, My gp will request them anyways.
anyways, just rambling. It’s a lonely journey.

I have heard of the butterfly collective @Paperdaisy and signed up for it ages ago. Maybe I’ll share a bit of my journey there…
