If I ever said that I was in recovery *truly with all my heart* I lied. I lost weight again this week and honestly want to lose more. Maybe this is not the best time for me to think about leading this board anyway! I did confide in my friend and grocery shopping buddy that I had been seriously restricting and we bought me lots of food because she knows I don't like to waste food and it will probably force me to eat more. I've been trying to so far. I had lasagna and a sandwhich and a cookie. I don't know what else but it was over 1000 cals. That is crazy for me. I had been living on an average of 400-600 calories max. Ah well I'm going to do it if for no other reason than being accountable to my friend.
I am still going to an adult support group and expressive arts. I will take pictures of my art work and share next week.
Even though I don't completely want to get better I continue to go to the support group. As they said in AA "bring the body and the mind will follow"
Question...did I share the wellness recovery action plan with this board. I think I did all my boards, but I'm not sure. I'm just thinking about it because I've made copies to take to group tonight.
That's all for now.

Hi Amanda.
I'm sorry things haven't been easy for you lately. I'm so happy to hear that your grocery shopping buddy knows how to hold you accountable though! We all need someone like that in our lives...right?!?!
Good to hear that you're still participating in the support group and the expressive arts class. Are you finding those to be helpful and good outlets? And, in response to your questions about the Wellness Recovery Plan, you did share it, and it was great. Lots to think about in filling out that plan, I am sure!
Thanks for your answer to the time commitment question (and the vote of encouragement). Have a good group meeting tonight...mine meets tonight too.
Love, so_cal

Good for you for confiding in your friend, and for being accountable to her. It's a good step in the right direction, Amanda.
More gentle hugs,
How did I miss this?
