Small wins

[Definitelynotem]

After 6 years of bulimia, I am so so happy to say that I am now 5 days purge free. I can’t say I’ve eaten perfectly on all those days, but I managed to keep everything down and it’s the longest I’ve gone since this whole terrible thing started. I truly thought I’d never get rid of this illness and although it’s not long, it gives me some hope that things can be different. I would love to hear everyone else’s small wins :)

Well done! That is a tremendous achievement. You can build on that now that you know you can. Your body needs the the fuel. I struggle to eat at all, my eating disorder is different, no idea why- but I had some pasta and salad today, probably a child's portion but better than nothing. I'm drinking lots of water too even though I weirdly feel like I am suffocating when I drink it. Just keep going. x

That's wonderful! I can't imagine how hard it's been for you so no wonder you want to celebrate :)
