I told myself I was beautiful and I ate two meals plus snacks!

Honestly... I'm having more bad days than good. i don't think I've purged less than four times this week.

I fail at life.

Taylor, you can not possible fail at life. You are here. You have a purpose. There is something that you need to do and I know you can do it. There is a reason for you being here, you just need to find it. There is bound to be something that you are good at. Throw yourself into it.

I just don't feel good today. I don't feel pretty, I want to be slimmer.

Amanda, why don't you feel pretty? What is going through your head?

BIG BIG STEP FOR ME!!!

Of course you belong here. We ALL make slip ups, but that doesn't make us failures.. As long as you are trying progress will be made.

Okay, I'm a little nervous... I'm meeting my nutritionist for the first time at 12:30 Central time.. I'm trying to go into this with a positive attitude.. my therapist said a lot of her patients work with her and so I want to go into this with the attitude I had with Tracy, before I met her, because we've been together for 2 years, we work well great, even with our disagreements, and disappointments..

and tomorrow I find out whether or not I'm going to be a mommy.. scary and exciting, just mixed emotions all together..

So, lots of prayers and support is needed in the next few days!!

I'm getting over my ED I've been eating properly for the last few eeks, and I feel better now than I did when I was hardly eating. There's often a strong temptation to relapse, but so far I've managed to ignor it, and come to accept that I am beautiful just the way I am.

Re: Recovery Support Thread - February 4th 2009, 01:42 PM

ive been doing really really badly these last couple of weeks. i have no idea why.
ive made myself purge 3 times this week alone. im just slipping and slipping and i cant get back on my feet....
i feel so terrible. and ive started getting nosebleeds again, from the pressure in my head. it happens every time because not enough time passes for the capillaries to heal...
ugh im so disgusted. i hate myself. and my body. i keep finding pictures from a couple of years ago when i was really bad, and i looked so good. i hate it. i hate me.

if i tell my boyfriend, then he'll tell someone (ie: my best friend), because he said he would if i couldnt stop it by myself.
