I just wanted to let you all know that this passed weekend I did really well. I ate when I was hungry, for a change, I of course obsessed the rest of the day about how much I ate ("OH MY GOD, I had two meals today!"). But this is the best, most important part to me, yesterday, I had dinner and actually enjoyed it, and felt NO guilt for eating! I've been taking the suggestions that I've read for other people, that when I start to notice myself constantly thinking about food to just distract myself. So I've been reading a lot, taking my daughter out more often, running stupid time consuming errands and such. It's been helping I think, I felt good yesterday, and today I'm almost happy...I'm not there yet, but I don't feel disgusting right now...which is HUGE for me...so that's about it, I just wanted to share that yesterday I had a good day, and today I'd say that I'm "ok"...thanks for listening!

Hi Darian,
That is so awesome and I am very excited for you. Isn't it great when we are not constantly plagued by those horrible ED thoughts??!! It sounds like you are on the right track. Enjoy it and build on it. The more you 'nurture' those positive thoughts, the more natural they will become, and with positive thoughts the positive feelings will follow.
Love & hugs, Kristina
